Lakers-Rockets Open Thread

Los Angeles Lakers at Houston Rockets, Nov 4, 2009 5:30 PM PST


Welcome to Houston, home of Enron and a tattoo parlor I once saw there called Tat Dat Azz. These days, of course, it's also home to our old friend Trevor Ariza, pictured above in an Earl Campbell throwback.

(No, sorry. That's... I guess that's just an old picture of Earl Campbell.)

The Lakers are favored by 2 1/2 points tonight, a piece of information I pass along for the gamblers out there. And if you're not a gambler, you should really think about becoming one. It's fun, profitable and legal in some places!

And did you know the USFL had a franchise called the Houston Gamblers? Ahhh, it's all coming together, isn't it? The circle of life is a beautiful thing.

This is your open thread. Let's make some sweet music together.

I'm feeling strangely confident for this game

been watching some of these other games with quite a few teams on the second half doubleheaders tonight and most aren’t playing terribly. I’ll go on a limb and say 2nd unit plays great tonight.

I take that back

if they can keep the game at this fast pace, it might be possible.

by stephens on Nov 4, 2009 5:22 PM PST up reply actions  

Boston likes a slower defensive pace

their games are usually in the 80’s-90’s, so a faster-paced, higher scoring game might be what it takes to get a win from them. I can’t see another team beating Boston by playing better defense, only playing better offense.

Lakers spokesman John Black confirmed prior to L.A.’s Wednesday night contest in Houston that Gasol’s doctors in Spain agreed with the diagnosis of L.A.’s doctors and team athletic trainer Gary Vitti that the injury is healed.

Gasol has been cleared to resume basketball activities, which he commenced by running, jumping and shooting prior to the Rockets game. The All-Star forward is also expected to practice on Thursday, and if there’s no set back, he is cleared to play in games as soon as Phil Jackson thinks Gasol is ready to conditioning wise.

Lakers forward Pau Gasol has been cleared to begin all basketball-related activities after an MRI exam showed he did not have a slight tear in his right hamstring.

Gasol might practice tomorrow and has an outside chance at playing Friday against Memphis.

A less-sophisticated sonogram exam showed that Gasol might have sustained a slight tear, but the MRI exam showed only a strain, a less-severe injury.

Gasol will miss his fifth game tonight against Houston.

— Mike Bresnahan

The Pau Gasol news is really good.

But I too hope they aren’t rushing him back at all, which I doubt they are.

kobe went out

and the focus was on getting the ball in the paint which seemed to open up the outside shooting. Also Farmar comes in and it forces Brooks to play defense. Going small was very effective. On a side note, I really like how Artest just muscles his way to the basket.

by Julio Nievas on Nov 4, 2009 6:24 PM PST reply actions  

Maybe no one will admit it but I will

WhyTF? does Kobe have to post up? You have to go with the biggest mismatches which are LO and Bynum. Bynum was being guarded by a 6-7 6-8 sf and Kobe posted up everytime. then when he can’t get his shot up he passes it with 5 secs in the shot clock. He doesn’t need to post up every dam time. I haven’t seen LO post up not once and he can beat anyone on this team.

yes because that is all the offense is giving him

he is the best post player on this team besides Kobe. But hasn’t posted up all night.

I'd rank Bynum ahead of LO

by C.A. Clark on Nov 4, 2009 6:32 PM PST up reply actions  

exactly.

something tells me if Gasol was playing Kobe would still want to post up every time.

Kobe is the best player on the Lakers

But if they concentrate on their length and posting up the longer players this game should have been over a long time ago.

Hey, what's the 5 second rule?

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

by KobeisGod on Nov 4, 2009 7:18 PM PST reply actions  

The five-second occurs when a player, while closely guarded, holds the ball for five seconds. A closely guarded situation occurs when a player with the ball in the frontcourt is continuously guarded by an opponent within 6 feet of the player in control. The official continues the five-second count until the player in control gets his/her head and shoulders past the defender or moves to place the defender outside of the 6-foot range. The official’s five-second count will reset should the player change from dribbling the ball to holding the ball, or vice-versa.

Can't dribble the ball with your back to the basket for 5 seconds

question who's leading the scoring race so far

Melo is leading that race

With 34.5 PPG on an absolutely insane 62.6 TS%.

Not THIS pace

But then, Kobe won’t be averaging 31+, either

And while Melo won’t maintain 62.6 TS%, he does seem like a likely candidate for scoring title.

Kobe was behind Ariza, he may have poked it or Fish, but Artest ended up with the ball. I think actually Fish about tied Ariza up, and he lost the ball, which went to Artest

Which is why Fish is credited with the steal. Though, in my mind, Artest deserves the defensive credit for the strip.
