PrintLos Angeles Lakers at Portland Trail Blazers, Feb 6, 2010 7:00 PM PST
I hope you're not tuning in tonight to see Kobe Bryant or Brandon Roy. Thanks to ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively, neither of them will play. Bummer! But it'll be fascinating to see how the Lakers adjust, no?
Get a little more beery upon any mention of:
- Roy sitting out,
- Kobe sitting out,
- How the Lakers are looking forward to the All-Star break,
- How the Trail Blazers are looking forward to the All-Star break, or
- Nine straight losses.

Assistant coach Brian Shaw told me he is very curious to see who steps up with Kobe out. Should be interesting.
via Mike Trudells Twitter
It will be interesting to see if the guards get the ball inside.. Who’s starting in place of Kobe? Farmar? Shannon? LO?
i think he’s bailing out on his team. sending a message to gasol and bynum. i don’t like this. he didn’t seem to have aggravated his injuries last night. he’s frustrated that the team is playing poorly. he needs to channel his frustration more effectively. he is poor at doing so. he is well aware of the losing streak at portland, why choose to sit this game out? why not yesterday’s as well?
I don’t think Kobe’s missing a game just to miss a game. Kobe wouldn’t do something like that.
Kobe is in uniform right now but is barefoot and moving very slowly. Sitting in training room for ongoing treatment.
Kobe hasn’t missed a game due to injury since December 6, 2006. That just tells you how much pride he takes in playing 82 games, Fisher as well. Kobe wouldn’t sit out “just to send a message” No way, no how. He has to be really hurting in order to sit.
Partly small financial issues
Such as how his paychecks are divided over the year.
But there’s probably also that he wants to be able to have a major (even more so than normal) influence on the choice of Phil Jackson’s successor if Phil were to retire at the end of this season.
Plus, financially, he makes more money if he opts out this offseason and resigns with us on a new deal, instead of extending.

I can't remember exactly where I heard this, though it was probably Pincus
but one of the sticking points, I believe, is the no trade clause. Or at least it was at one point. Maybe that’s changed.
I think it has more to do with the Lakers providing all the extra funds besides just the contract. When negotiating to extension or even for a new contract the team and the player also hash out extra funds such as if traffic is especially bad then the team will provide an airplane so that (in this case) Kobe can fly out on the airplane. Things like that would be negotiated during a contract extension. Along with what Saurav mentioned above (waiting to see whether Phil would stick around, the new contract agreements when the players association meet with Stern this offseason, etc).
players aren’t allowed to take their own flights? i heard bynum got fined for buying his ticket during the 8 game trip
No, they are
Bynum got fined because he missed the team flight and was thus late.

Nah. I’m talking about an airplane ride to Staples Center for a home game when Kobe’s at home, if there was extra bad traffic or something like that. Road trips are paid for by the team.
That would just be an example of the extra things the Lakers would pay for if they agreed to do such a thing, that would be agreed upon during a contract extension/a new contract.
Oh yeah
That was one of the technical/financial sticking points mentioned. Others include whether or not he can receive the majority of his pay towards the beginning of the season, daily allowances on the road (players get a daily allowance for food on the road – generally $100 per player, but they can negotiate upwards).

Jordan Farmar is listed as a Lakers starter, alongside Fisher. Portland starts two PG types in Andre Miller and Jerryd Bayless.
gosh
i wish we win tonight
so people would stop giving us so much grief
im sick of it…
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
Those people are just haters wishing their team could be as good as Lakers. making the playoffs year after year. producing as many championships as the Lakers
Okay how many times did Joel and Stu say that Kobe wasn’t playing during the pre-game show ?DRINK. Dex wants everyone hammered by the time this whole thing is over.
Another good one for the drinking game would be any mention of the Lakers not being able to win in the Rose Garden or mention of Andre Miller’s recent 52 point game.
my favorite
is Joel’s mention of a short cornered three.

Aw Man, should be very interesting, lets see the Lakers cope without Kobe, finally answer some questions and finally make someone else step up, who’s it gonna be??? I don’t know, but I will be watching….

Not a smart move by Pau. He is at least 4 inches taller then Miller, no need to rush that and no reason to not go up strong.
4 inches?

9-2 Laker run.
Blazers = nothing but perimeter jumpers.

Lakers need to play like this when Kobe is playing as well. NOW they come to play when they have no one to rely on to bail them out time and time again.
Kobe-style moves
But he should have held, it was 1-on-4 with the D all focused on him.
"That's a giant sig " - Ben R.
Other than the fact that he can't run and plays shitty defense, he's fine.

3rd best freethrow shooting team in the league
good job so far….
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
Probably why Bynum went into the locker room:
Late in L.A.’s win over Charlotte on Wednesday, Andrew Bynum collided knees with the Bobcats’ Stephen Jackson, which he said affected his movement in that game and Friday night’s loss to Denver.
"It’s bothering me, but I’m going to play through it and get some rest over the All-Star break," said Bynum. "But it’s not anything too bad."

Rice: Tonight you're seeing the real triangle offense. Usually when Kobe's playing it ends after about 15 seconds when he takes over but you're seeing the real triangle offense tonight.

For crying out loud
Brown… Farmar… give Andrew Bynum the ball. And yet so many people blame Kobe for not giving it to Pau or Andrew. Earth to people. Farmar, Brown, and Lamar are the ones designated to make entry passes. (I did not include Fish cause he does make the entry passes)
they are denying Bynum the entry pass, Lakers are swinging the ball but then the clock is running down so they have to create something off the dribble

This is getting frustrating
Bryant gets much of the blame for Pau and Bynum’s lack of involvement (even here in SSR) when much of the reason is really the impatience and trigger-happiness of the triangle guards!!! (Triangle guards = Farmar, LO, Brown)
what the Lakers really need
besides a PG, is a tough high energy rebounding power forward like turiaf or Rambis. This team is a bunch of wimps
Not LO as much
Even Farmar doesn’t do it a ridiculous amount. It’s primarily Brown.

I saw an excellent graph once relating player usage rates to PER
And Pau’s PER far exceeds his usage rate, implying he should get more touches. However, there is also empirical evidence (though with a small sample size) showing that Pau’s PER steadily decreases the more shots he takes, while Kobe’s decreases with the less shots Kobe takes. The trick is to find the balance between the two.

Imagine telling them that you’re just 17 but you have plans on one day running not just the grocery store, but the entire chain of grocery stores.
Imagine telling them, "I just want to be the man."
And to make that happen, you’re going to stay extra hours after work each day, practicing so that you can get faster at bagging the groceries and running the cash register. You’re going to walk through the aisles after work memorizing the thousands of products and studying late at night for ways to make them sell faster.
You are going to work insane hours to be the world’s greatest grocery guy.
Not only that, but you’re going to invite your older co-workers to stay overtime with you, to work for free to get better and better at what they do.

We’re playing on the road, on the second night of a back-to-back, without Kobe or Bynum.

No no no, Lakers should be up big right now. Blazers have been dogshit for the last 10 or 12 minutes straight and they're still in range.
The crowd gets loud, a few shots start falling, and the result flips.

exactly, we’re doing whatever we want right now, if gasol would get involved somehow we can pump this lead up
Sorry - that's utterly wrong
There have been only 57 possessions in this game. That means the Lakers are outscoring Portland by 0.14 PPP. That’s a substantial margin.

he saw that fishs shot was off
grab it
"Just by the aura of D.J. Mbenga being there, the shot missed."
I love Artest's hustle
He’s not particularly fast, but he runs harder on his cuts than anyone on the team, and it gets us easy points.
"That's a giant sig " - Ben R.
His hustle?
that was from a Gasol pass!
"E-Coaches are heavy in here tonight! Take E-Sasha and put him on the E-bench on your fantasy league, that’ll show him!" - Jevon O
Yes, but Artest is the only person on the team who does those cuts with purpose
Thus getting open for the pass. When the players don’t run the cuts with purpose, the guards have no choice but to take bad shots.

You CAN generally go under screens on Miller
Because he’s an atrocious three point shooter. Same goes for Bayless, generally.

Drew injured his hip
But it’s only a bruise. He went to the locker room for a bit, came back out and played, then went back to the bench.
As for Kobe, no idea, he’s not even on the bench.

Nothing like a beat down to at the hands of the Lakers to send the Portland faithful to bed having nightmares, and send Timbo over to blazersedge to clean up the damage.
