Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers, Feb 28, 2010 12:30 PM PST
Did you know the Nuggets are 25-5 at home but only 14-14 on the road? Well you do now. And I'm sure you'll be reminded of those stats at least a couple times during today's broadcast. You'll also be reminded that one of Denver's 14 road wins was at Staples on February 5, when they made eleventy billion threes and beat the Lakers by double digits. It'd be nice if that didn't happen again today.
Get your Sunday afternoon drink on whenever:
- ABC shows a score from the USA-Canada gold medal hockey game,
- They mention that Arron Afflalo is from Compton or that he played at UCLA,
- J.R. Smith does something hugely irritating after he makes a shot,
- Lamar Odom packs it down on a fool, or
- The game is described as a "conference finals preview."
Gather 'round, friends. Now is the hour of our revenge.

If he just stayed with his man the team wouldn't have to scramble as much.
When they scramble they lose track of guys, sometimes.
It does, but largely because of who is with him in the backcourt
If Kobe’s backcourt partner was able to play dribble penetration better, then Kobe’s roaming would probably be more beneficial, as the interior defense only has to compensate for one player. Now, if you have Fisher out there along with Kobe’s roaming, it just breaks down the defense because of the constant perimeter threats.

this is very similar to the 08 Finals

He got angry. I thought the refs were going to give him the call he wanted. I remember him swinging his fist in anger and getting T’ed up after running into The Big Cavalier.

can't blame this on artest
this is team wide. Kobe isn’t as good as he was last year over 48 minutes, the Gasol/Bynum thing is not getting better, but worse (and it never reached greatness to begin with), and Fish is just a lost cause on defense. Shannon is trying too hard, as well as Sasha, and Jordan doesn’t seem to care at all anymore (atleast last year he cared about looking good, but now?). etc. etc.
We got a great chance to win it this year, but the signs don’t look good. They look better for Cleveland, Denver and Dallas than us, Orlando, or Boston.

Err, no
It’s not an “embarrassment” of any kind. This team clearly doesn’t care about this game until the playoffs and as the champs, they have every right to not care about anything but the playoffs because their only goal is a championship. There are no more “statements” to be made, no big, overbearing perception (i.e. softness) to overcome — they are the champs and the road to the Finals goes through them. The notion that they need to “care” about this game is silly.

better through effort
let’s make sure everyone understands that. Denver is mostly the same team as the Lakers are. A minor exchange at one position for both teams, but both are essentially the same.
Getting whipped 3 times in a row is not “not taking it seriously.” It’s a sign that Denver has gotten better in effort and maturity, while the Lakers have gotten slack and lazy.

if less than 5 players have not fouled out, they’d have to put players who have fouled out back in, and give up FT whenever there’s an additional foul
they should, I know I would because it's just ridiculous but
12 Lakers turnovers doesn’t help either, Lakers must value their freaking ball

Don't cry about fouls guys
The nugs are playing very well against us, and we’re getting too emotional. They’ve never respected us, and that’s our fault for thinking they should.
I am seeing some anger and fire on the Lakers side now, I hope it translates into tougher play. How many rebounds we just give up? How many weak fouls we put on Nene?

this is a typical Denver game
they get away with pushing and grabbing. Whether the Lakers are getting called for those same plays or not on the other end, the Nuggets do it to EVERY player on EVERY play. That’s what the outcry is about. And considering that, the huge fouls differential is a clear indicator.

No, the mistakes are his

So far Ron has been an off and on positive for the Lakers so I don't know

He's fit in great
He doesn’t play outside his role on offense, he’s vastly improved the defense, and he’s probably the only reason our three-point shooting hasn’t completely cratered. It’s not to say that Ariza wasn’t good, but Artest is a better fit for what this team is trying to do.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Ariza Is Better!
Ron has lost a step on the defensive end. Lebron, Pierce, and now Melo is taking it to him. I thought they brought him in to shut down Lebron (if they met in the Finals) and Melo (if they met in the Conference Finals. He hasn’t been a defensive stopper at all.
I think the defense was better last year.
Nope, defense has been far better this year
We’ve been hovering between first and third in defensive efficiency all year (the difference has been largely negligible) as versus our mark last year, when we were sixth in defensive efficiency. And I’m not sure why you’re bringing up those players, considering that 1) no one really “stops” them 2) Artest has done a decent job on them 3) Ariza is a big liability against those three, especially in comparison to Artest.

Ariza Has One Thing Ron Don't....................A RING
The last time i checked, Ariza was a World Champion. I don’t care how he did it, he did it. I think hes a better shooter and i think Ariza did a great job on Lebron, Pierce and Melo seeing that the Lakers went 2-0 vs the Cavs in the reg season, 2-0 vs the Celtics, and beat the Nuggets in 6 in the WCF. So obviously something was working.
Plus hes a better one on one scorer. He Kobe is off, Ariza (of this year) would drop 30 if needed. Ron can’t.
Question: If Ron shot is off how can he be affective? Can’t score off the dribble like Ariza. Defense is not what it once was so how can he be affective? Maybe he do fit in and i just can’t see it but to say hes better than Ariza is just all time crazy.
If one ring is all you need...
then, by your flawed logic, Slava Medvedenko is better than LeBron. Personally, I’d agree with that statement. But I take it that you wouldn’t.

Come Harder
The facts are the facts. You have to come with a better argument than that. If the lakers win a title this year then i’ll stop saying it but until then, ARIZA IS BETTER THAN ARTEST.
Ron is averaging higher numbers than Trev did for us
He’s better defensivley and hits the 3 ball at a higher clip than Trevor did
It’s all the other Lakers who don’t bring any energy
Maybe it’s because they already got their ring

Great analysis from the blog proprieters
I’m a nugs fan and I agree with all of your pre-game analysis.
Kobe will be back in the 2nd half and start lighting it up. It always happens, don’t worry.
Does anyone else think that the Nuggets have become the Kings of eight years ago? I think the Lakers don’t need this game for their confidence – but if they do win, they may be able to deal a blow to the Nuggets confidence. I think that is all this game is about.
Nope you have a good team
I don’t like your players, their attitude, and most of the fans. Bottom line is, they’ve got our number right now, playing with confidence, and well… look at the half time score.

You just have to go to the rim over and over and over
If the Lakers just relentlessly pound the ball to the hoop the FT disparity will take care of itself. Yes, we’ll pick up a couple of charges (probably Bynum), but it’s the only way to get the Nuggets out of their game.
You can’t hope that the zebras start calling the game differently — YOU DICTATE THAT WITH YOUR PLAY.
If we get a nice run in the third, we can do this.

We shot 17 in the second half and Denver had 10.

This sends Denver the message that we wanted to send — that the Lakers are still a scary team in the fourth quarter and the game close.

all those back taps from Denver...
and gasol wins the game with 1….HAHAHAHAH
What's up!!!
Just finished watching the gold medal game and USA LOST!!! The only thing to cheer me up is a Laker’s win.
Kobe is clearly passed his prime
I agree wit Jackson that I think all those miles are really adding up. This is a major concern heading into the playoffs if Kobe is not the MVP caliber player we need him to be.
dude im just sayin wats true
wat part of that is false

he had 1 bad game shooting AND STILL
the lakers only won because of his playmaking.
...
You do realize this is his fourth game off his ankle injury and his finger is shot right?
Your long-term perspective is awful.

Ok. He isn't playing with a broken index finger.
How do you Carmello’s ankle injury was the same as Kobe?
Carmelo sat out more time
how you dont think Kobe is no longer in his prime is beyond me.
by desecrator09 on Feb 28, 2010 3:15 PM PST up reply actions
His physical prime?
He’s on the down slope of his physical prime. Kobe isn’t passed it.
it's true
but then again, i prefer to think of it as an evolution, from a scorer to a more holistic player
hahaha
i dont need him to carry this team by scoring 30ppg anymore. i prefer 9apg games like today :D
Sigh.
I find your lack of faith, disturbing.
So a guy goes for a, yes, pedestrian(by his standards), 14 points against a team that game planned against the scoring aspect of Kobe’s game, dishes 12 assists, gets a solid 5 boards for a guard, 3 steals, and 2 blocked shots, and you say he’s past his prime?
I hate to use stats, but if you want to look at the body of work this season, here are Kobe’s ranks this year by the numbers (among his 14 seasons):
PPG: 6th (better than last season by almost a point)
APG: 9th (About 1 Assist short of his career high 6.0 in 04-05)
RPG: 9th
STL: 4th
BPG: 13th
FG Percentage: 6th (but was his career high before he got injured)
3PT Percentage: 9th
Turnovers (7th Best in terms of not turning it over, 5th best if you take out his rookie years when he didn’t play much).
When a guy is comparably in the middle as far as production career wise, and is having a better statistical season than last year, I think your premise is laughable. The guy lives for the playoffs. Mark Jackson’s point was that he isn’t as explosive in transition anymore. He’s replaced it with his best post-up game ever. Adaptation. That’s why he’ll continue to be the best for years to come.

Nice post
Actually I think he was trying for the foul.
Did you see that dunk he pulled against… was it Memphis?
Yeah it was Memphis...
…amazing how just 2 or 3 games after that scintillating performance, he’s being called “past his prime.”
By the way, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I used both Star Wars and Star Trek in that response. I’ve got to get bonus points for that right? Just saying. :)

wins and losses don't really matter anymore
Cleveland plays in the Leastern Conference they will have home court advantage
no one is going to catch the Lakers in the west

At least now we know Ron Artest can at least contain Carmelo!
Carmelo is a certified beast. What he did to Lebron on TNT was proof
how did Drew play today?
particularly, his matchup with Nene
he wasn't on the floor much
but when he got it in the post he scored. nene couldn’t do anything with him
this is his line
Andrew Bynum, C 22 3-7 0-0 0-0 2 4 6 0 0 2 2 3 -8 6

In the middle of it all, Jeanie and Jim still hold onto sibling affection, the confidant quipped. "Trust funds make strange bedfellows." Jackson himself has been quite accommodating of Jim Buss, who travels with the team frequently if for no other reason than to remind the coach of the value of young center Andrew Bynum. Jim Buss believes Bynum is the next Kareem Abdul-Jabbar while the coaching staff would like Bynum to quit pouting about shots and anchor the defense with enthusiasm.
"Phil puts up with it," the confidant said of his exchanges with Jim Buss. "I was talking to your brother…," Jackson will tell Jeanie in informing her of events. The wild card in all of this is Bryant himself. Jackson’s camp wonders why the L.A. press hasn’t put questions to Bryant to get him to complain that Jackson is being driven out. Jordan spoke out on Jackson’s behalf early in the 1997-98 season, and that enhanced the coach’s power in his struggle with Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and GM Jerry Krause.
"Kobe’s the only guy that can press the issue as a Laker," Jackson’s confidant explained. "What Kobe says will speak volumes. Kobe could go to management right now and say he wants to spend the rest of his career as a Laker with PJ as his coach." This time around, though, Bryant has kept his own counsel and stayed above the fray. Perhaps he has sought advice from Jordan, who felt let down when Jackson walked away after the 1998 championship. Jordan got into the fight and spoke up for Phil but still lost the balance of his career when Jackson quit anyway.
hmm..

THis guys lives in West Virginia and just found out a couple days ago that Kobe wasn’t on the bench when he was injured
he’s been pushing this “Phil wants Jeannie to be the head of the Lkaers or else Phil is gone angle”
I don’t know how full of hsit he is or how accurate his sources are

The Jerry’s didn’t want him back. Crumbs wanted to stop being over-shadowed, and Reinsdorf, as always, is cheap.

YEah man
USA played well definitely.
And the Lakers showed resilience to beat Denver. I was flipping between the channels constantly.
usa team was the underdog anyway
everybody was shocked that they even made it to the finals, silver is a great accomplishment, imo
yeah but on some sites
like cbssports and fanhouse, the media and fans built them up so much,so it was nice to beat the US
How are you not drunk?
and partying in the streets of canada?

I agree
I’m bummed they didn’t take gold, but I’m not upset. It’s not like the USA-Spain gold medal game last year. I would have been soooo pissed if the USA team with kobe in it had lost.
I think the difference, is as you say, the underdog aspect.

Good win for the Lakers.
Artest and Kobe locked up the perimeter well, something we haven’t seen all that often this season. Gasol and Odom were aggressive more often than not and it showed.
THE SUNS ARE COMING FOR YOU
Not surprised. Lakers will come out of the West. Unless they run into the Suns. Thats right, the Suns. They got the Lakers number in the playoffs and its just a match-up problem for the Lakers. Frye hitting 3s, Nash and Amare runing the pick n roll and the Suns got the length to defend the Laker’s BIGS. Lopez, Amare, Frye, .
All you Lakers fans better hope the suns don’t get the 8th seed because if they do, the Lakers will fall.
Even my cavs got the bobcats who they can’t shake.
You guys got the Suns.
Celtics got the hawks.
Hawks got the Magic
Magic got the Wizards.
Every team in the NBA has one other team that has their number. Its just the truth.
You're kidding right?
The Suns match-up probably the least well out with the Lakers out of any top 10 WC team.
Not to mention the Celtics having the Hawks’ #? lol…
do you watch any team besides the Cavs?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
lmfao
you mean the hawks got the celtics? 4-0 this year against them.
homie i wish we could play the suns right now id put the 2009 nba title on the line.
when kobe dunks on Nash,Richardson,and Grant Hill at the same time it will be epic
YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD YES!
www.reverbnation.com/czheckproductions
suns haven't given the Lakers "trouble" since the Lakers acquired Gasol
actually scratch that … even prior to Gasol’s arrival, the Lakers with a healthy Drew were fairing pretty well against the Suns. That Christmas Day win with Trevor Ariza dunking over Grant Hill comes to mind :)

It's nice to get the win, but...
The way the Lakers came into this game was worrisome. You can tell this team feels entitled and that they are going to waltz into the finals. The Lakers need to focus and maintain their lead over the Nuggets for the #1 seed because they don’t want to have to deal with a Nuggets/Dallas team until the finals if possible.
Lakers need to realize that they can’t just out-talent teams anymore. They need to work hard on every possession from tipoff till garbage time.

Agreed.
The team needs some kinda chip on their shoulders.
It’s kinda hard to have one though if you won the finals last year.
Last year’s team was all about getting their again, this year’s is just kinda expecting they’d pop up their magically.
