So... first half quarter good, bench bad, second half quarter crap, refs suck, Kobe can't buy a foul call.
Sound about right?
I can't tell you how ugly it is, because I don't get to watch it. But I can tell you that if the numbers say anything, it's feed The Bynum, and just get into the paint more, in general.
Meanwhile, keep your eye out for our coming-soon SS&R-led initiative to organize Lakers fans in voting for other games on NBA TV Fan Night Tuesdays.
2nd Half, here we go.

Nice summary,
"I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan. I only want to be Kobe Bryant,"
-Kobe Bryant
I sure hope you're wrong about that, buddy...
So… first half good, bench bad, second half crap, refs suck,

I think he was going more for the 2nd half of the half
unless you’re pronosticating a Laker’s loss Josh?
Slop city.

Kobe with the nice move
"I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan. I only want to be Kobe Bryant,"

"Durant screaming for the basketball.... He's a little bit short."
Yeah, like a foot short.

I figured out what's been wrong with Artest's shot
His haircut screwed up his balance. As it grows back in, his shot will improve
Kobe needs to give us a boost
"I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan. I only want to be Kobe Bryant,"
-Kobe Bryant
Dunno. He is sick, after all.

It's up to LO and Bynum tonight.

Ok
is it me or is everybody blowing buy Fisher when he is at the top of the key?
"Women...you can't live without them, and they can't pee standing up." Rube Baker
To be perfectly fair, with the current handchecking rules, NOBODY can defend fast PGs up top.

Ha ha, now you're the one who's mean!
"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
The bad passes
more than anything else, is what pisses me off about Fisher. I can forgive shooting slumps and slow defense due to age.
But veterans should know better than to make those passes
just ask melo

You know ... it can be hard to track, when listening and not watching...
I sure seem to be hearing more names, more quickly — indicating more passing, more ball movement — when the Thunder has the ball.

Good foul by LO.

uglier than a shaq freethrow shooting contest

Oh, that was lucky, they called the foul on Westbrook.

Let's play the Silver Lining game
If the Lakers can keep up without Pau, playing this sloppy … we should be decent if we ever start playing like we can.

Bynum is a damned fine offensive Center. If he ever learns to rebound, he's gonna be GREAT.
"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
He's on pace for 8-9 rebounds
Given that his upwards explosiveness isn’t quite back yet, I’d say it’s mostly upside in the rebounding department.
Strength & Honor
It's good to be the Champs
I believe that rebounding is mostly about technique and desire, and I don't see either thing in him, sadly.
"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
3 on 1 fail

wow this is ugly

That OKC break was as retarded as the Blazers trying to run......
"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
Not bad though. That's what it takes, is to keep OKC slow and out of rhythm.
"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
Lol I will say this about Fisher
He may not be able to stop anybody 1 v 1
But when it comes to 1 v 3, there’s nobody better
this is uglier than watching chuck hayes shoot freethrows
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Durant gets the call over Walton. No surprise.
"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
Kobe out of control, bailed out.
"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
or get the ball to bynum

When the defense adjusts to Kobe attacking the basket
Bynum will be open

Keep attacking
Put yourself in position to get foul calls. Even if you don’t get them, still keep doing it. Sooner or later, you force them to call it.

no way we can come back
just too much of a deficit
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Therein lies the problem: Powell and Walton are playing...
"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
because the ball got passed to him
if that happens, a shot is the only logical conclusion. I actually really don’t like Powell, despite the fact that he might be our most “productive” bench player so far.
End of the Third. OKC 73, Lakers 71.

Tucker please forgive me for what i'm going to say
but i’m FUCKING SICK of this display and i’m SICK OF THIS THUNDER TEAM I just want this game to fucking end.
I hope this is early season issues in the team because if we continue to play like this we are going to get waxed by Boston.
Anyway LETS GO LAKERS!!!
Wow. WTF

i'm not going to blame the zebras
i blame out effort
can someone tell me how many free throws we missed and turnovers committed.? U can’t blame the refs for thayt
I’m SICk of that funny sounding name guy whose name I cant spell
actually you can kinda
see if someone fouls you and you drop the ball out of bounds…that’s not a turnover, that’s a foul and a screwup by the refs :P
anytime we get a break we turn it over or get a bullshit call
When I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics... -The Great Bill Walton
Seriously
I don’t mind the miss on the fallaway in the post, but jacking it up from just inside the line is bad, bad, bad basketball in this situation, even if you’re Kobe.

Were the Thunder trying to go 2 for 1 there?
That’s the only way I can even remotely understand what they were doing there
I just want this game to end
I just had a shower but I think i’m going to need another one to get the stench of this game off me
