Los Angeles Lakers at Oklahoma City Thunder, Nov 3, 2009 5:00 PM PST
It's an early tip-off today, little darlings. I had to set an alarm clock just to be sure I'd be up on time for this. Last night was a late one for yours truly... I'm not at liberty to share the details, but suffice it to say crime doesn't fight itself on the dark streets of Hollywood.
Kobe, as you've probably heard, is suffering from the always popular Flu-Like Symptoms. Latest update I saw is that his fever's gone, but he's nonetheless a gametime decision. Also a gametime decision: whether I'll ever put on something over these boxers.
Get busy commentin', or get busy dyin'.
Ed. Note: I'm jumping in on the end of Dex's Game Thread. The Lakers, as they usually do when they play on Tuesdays, got voted into NBA TV Fan Night. And unfortunately, out here in Kansas, we don't have local TV to fall back on. So since I'm SOL for this game (at least until tomorrow or Thursday, when I can, *ahem*, "acquire" it by other means), I'll be keeping pretty involved in these game threads, and relying on you to keep me up-to-date, if there's something the box-score and play-by-play can't convey. Feel free to be descriptive, people.

If the Lakers drop this one, I'll have "flu-like symptoms"...

If I find out that you’re NOT blogging from your mother’s basement, in your underwear, I’m telling the Bloggers’ Union on you.
Something over the boxers… pfffft!!

End of 1 in other games
Celtics 19 – Sixers 17
Wizards 31 – Cavs 17
Are you psychic or am I in a time warp?

just notices Nuggets are up 30 – 17 on the Pacers right now to begin the 2nd
I think the Cavs are going down hard tonight. The Wizards are quite good.

They are playing pretty well so far too
Arenas is money
Plus they're obviously inspired
They’re good, and they’re playing they’re rivals. It tends to be a good combination.
The Cavs … still … don’t seem to be inspired. Not that I can tell by actually seeing them, or anything. Again, Poker on ESPN.

I love Poker on ESPN
But they should save it for later at night, when there are no games on.
Or earlier in the day.
Or… you get the idea. Not during games of the big three sports.

They could have a poker channel that goes back-to-back-to-back nonstop so you could pick you opportunity to watch.

Testing the waters
Rec this if you’d like SS&R to start mobilizing and organizing Lakers fans in voting for ANY other game than Lakers games on Fan Night.
The key, of course, will be to come up with a system via which we can make sure that everyone is voting for the SAME other game.
The power is with the people, right? I figure we, as a massive fan base, are powerful enough to keep the Lakers off of NBA T(uesday)V for the rest of the season.

Good point.

Why does the NBA black out their own network??? Anybody wanna explain that one to me?
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
I mean, shit, just show the ads. Everybody wins.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Exactly
Unlike a good number of completely unreasonable people, I fully understand why they black out games shown on National TV — meaning, ABC, ESPN, TNT, C-SPAN, whatever. It just wouldn’t fly to undercut the people showing your games.
But there’s no such thing as competing against yourself! It’s your own network, what, are you going to get mad at yourself and refuse to do business with yourself anymore???
Strength & Honor
It's good to be the Champs
If anything by attempting to avoid “competing” against yourself, you hurt yourself by pissing of your customer base.
Or we could just petition the NBA to let their game of the week be free on the internet
It really doesn’t make any sense that the game which is the most desirable has more limited access to it than all the other games.
They aren't as good as we thought they were, for sure.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
They are who I thought they were
But not who most everyone else thought they were.

They also don’t seem concerned about it, at least not in a way that makes them work harder. If anything they seem like they just should be better, and it’s not their fault that they aren’t.
we should also look like we're better
but oh well.
speaking though, shaq is currently making 100% of his free throws!
The way that team is built
they might have 3-4 black stars this year.
They have a lot to figure out to get things right in Cleveland
I have no idea
Do you need to know what something means to use it? That kills roughly half my vocabulary

I still like Shaq. But he's done as a force in the NBA.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
still a top 5 center in the league.

"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
and only because there are so few actual centers in the league
If you are talking about top 5 players in the paint, Shaq’s not even in the conversation

there's never a plethora of good centers in the league at once.
but majority of the greatest players of all time are centers (Kareem, Wilt, Russell, Hakeem, Moses, Shaq, Moses etc.
"I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan. I only want to be Kobe Bryant,"
-Kobe Bryant
Now there's not even a plethora of centers period
Guys like Nowitzki, Duncan, Gasol would all be straight centers 20 years ago. Now 7 footers play anywhere in the front court

I know that fake name, of all of them, has the most reasoning behind it, but please just call them the Thunder
I know they were stolen from Seattle, but we have to be respectful to OKC’s fans. They didn’t steal the team.
Feel free to talk shit all night long about Clay Bennet though
Bennett's a dick
he wanted to make Seattle pick up the entire tab for a new arena
rather than splitting the costs between the 2 parties…

We need more post play through Bynum, Artest, Odom
Less Farmar trying to run the show
Strength & Honor
It's good to be the Champs
Nice post work for Bynum that play
good to see when no one else can really do anything on the court as far as making plays is concerned
This doesn't sound good
Lakers have sent Gasol’s MRI results to Spain for an opinion from Pau’s docs: so says Spero om 710ESPN (via @andrewsiciliano)
Well, Pau's personal doctors
Are probably pretty familiar with Pau and his medical history, so it’s just soliciting another opinion.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
The main reason our bench gives up leads
is not because of the offense as much as its the defense. If you look at a bench like the Celtics, they play defense nearly as well as the starters. If our guys would just play good solid D and rebound, they wouldnt be as pressured to score a ton of points. It sucks our team doesnt have a defensive killer instinct like the Cs do. Im not trying to outright dis the Lakers by the way, I’m just stating the facts

Whenever that talk about 3G wireless on commercials
It’s like when that talk about electrolytes on Gatorade commercials. I don’t know what that means, but I know I want it.
Bad D by Bynum. Came out and left his man.

Eh
They’ve always played like it’s the playoffs even in the early season.
It’s not necessarily the smart decision, especially at their age.
And it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be better than us come playoffs, when there’s actually reason to play like it’s the playoffs.
Strength & Honor
It's good to be the Champs
Im just so impressed
by how great their defense is. I really wish these Lakers would have the mentality to play defense like them. Right now, id have to say they are the team to beat so far
still early
we need gasol back eventually
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
yeah
but I’m assuming they gonna be healthy. It seems like people sayin, they gonna get injured is wishful thinking. Like, they want them to get injured beacause they’re scared of how good they gonna be if they’re not
its not wishful thinking, its just their biggest issue
They are an old team, old teams are prone to injury
It's not wanting, and it's not fear
It’s realism. Them getting to the Playoffs all healthy would be a near miracle. No ulterior motives here, just realism.
Strength & Honor
It's good to be the Champs
thats true
but I’m assuming they are healthy becuase they havent gotten injured so far. Im just going by how they are now. We cant predict if they will get injured or not
Kristic: 0-for-4 with a nice airball there.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Does Bynum get a foul on that?
looks like they both just ran into each other

Durant should have called a TO, instead he gives up a TO.

You do NOT want to run with OKC. Blazers learned that last year.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
All due respect, the Blazers are not the Lakers when it comes to running
The Lakers play at a fast pace every night, the Blazers never do.
Ummmm, Lakers are a mid-range, long team. You do NOT want to get in a track meet with OKC, who are younger and more athletic. Trust me.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Man, the facts are against you on this
The Lakers play at a faster pace than OKC on average, so a running game should be in their favor because it’s how they like to play.
The Blazers have played at one of the slowest paces in the league for a long time now, so of course they will lose if they get into a running shootout.

And I'm telling you, not all lessons learned by the Blazers apply to the Lakers
I’m not even playing the “Lakers are better” card here, they are just different teams, so things that are true for the Blazers are not true for the Lakers. Things like “fast pace = bad”.
I just saw 'em lose playing slow two days ago, but whatever... We'll see, eh?

Lakers made more field goals than OKC. They’re only up by 1 because of the free throw shooting. Its been happening quite a bit as of late
was the final play a clean block or a foul?
