Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Hear Me Talk About Things

Photo

I've been meaning to post this all week. Why haven't I? Because (a) I've been in Chicago melting in the heat at Lollapalooza, and (b) on the whole I'm just lazy and easily distracted. That second part you already knew.

Bryan Gutierrez is a writer at Mavs Moneyball, one of our sister SBN sites, and he hosts a weekly hoops podcast on which I was a guest this past Monday. We discussed various topics relating to the Lakers' offseason, including Kobe Bryant's surgery, the signings of Steve Blake and Matt Barnes and, of course, how the Lakers are reacting to the the Miami Heat thing. You can hear me hold forth in my trademark nasally tone by clicking here. I come in around the 59:00 mark. Go go GO!

BONUS PREMIUM CONTENT: After the jump, a photo of the Port-o-Potty Zone at Lollapalooza, which is the most disgusting place on earth. It's even nastier than that motel room your mom uses.

Just to nitpick,

the one potential issue I could see arising when it comes to Barnes is playing time. Artest is obviously likely to get the bulk of the minutes at the three, and with Shannon coming back, there aren’t too many minutes to spare at the two, either (not that Barnes is the prototypical shooting guard).

Granted, he won’t be getting Mbenga-esque minutes, but Matt’s a fiery, passionate guy. Should be interesting to see how he accepts his role on a deep team.

by SoCalGal on Aug 8, 2010 11:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

True; after all, taking a pay cut to play for the Lakers can mostly mean that he's in it to win it all.

But I’m also reminded of Gary Payton, who signed on for less money than he probably could have gotten elsewhere, only to gripe about minutes and the triangle offense.

I’m hoping it doesn’t turn out that way at all, I’m hoping he locks the chains down on Dwyane Wade or LeBron James whenever the two teams face each other. But I also wouldn’t be so surprised if he becomes visibly unhappy with the PT throughout the course of the season.

by asdf213 on Aug 9, 2010 12:29 AM PDT up reply actions  

I was never a fan of Payton and I didn't like that signing at all. To this day, I think it was a mistake, and I wasn't surprised it turned out the way it did.

I don’t think it’ll happen that way with Barnes. He says he’s wanted to play for the Lakers all his life. He’ll do what’s asked of him with no complaint. I’m not worried about him.

"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken

by SoCalGal on Aug 9, 2010 12:42 AM PDT up reply actions  

I can't imagine this will be a problem

Gary Payton was a onetime franchise player and is going to be in the Hall of Fame someday. Though his griping was annoying, at least you could see how a guy with his credentials would develop an ego and a sense of entitlement.

Matt Barnes is a journeyman. He’s never been a locker-room disturbance (as far as I remember), and when you’re a bench guy on your 8th NBA team, you don’t complain about minutes, especially not on the two-time defending champs. If he does, he’ll find Kobe’s or Ron’s foot up his ass in about 10 seconds, and 10 seconds after that he’ll be traded to Cleveland or Minnesota.

I liked Payton sort of

Honestly I thought payton’s issues had more to do with not feeling respected at the time. I don’t think Kobe was able to empathize with a veteran in the way he is now and I think that really grated on GP. Barnes will get more respect and appreciation in the locker room than that Kobe/shaq feud was capable of producing and that should be more than enough to off balance pt.

by _logan_ on Aug 9, 2010 2:40 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

Also, Matt's gonna get a handful of starts, I suspect

Ron’s not a guy who plays 82 games a year. He missed five this past season, and that was fewest no-shows ever in his career. If Matt stays healthy and isn’t horrible, I bet Phil gives him the start on those half-dozen or so occasions when Ron’s out of the lineup. That would help keep Lamar in sync with the reserve unit, rather than rotating him in and out of the starting five.

Now I Know!

Haha…thanks guys!

You guys definitely represented Dex well by supporting him with the downloads and it definitely helped me too….so I really appreciate the help.

Again, Dex was wonderful and one of the better interviews I’ve had on the show! He knows his stuff!

One question Dex

Did you have the misfortune of having the basically naked Lady Gaga jump in the crowd as people licked and groped her?

The Strokes were playing at the same time, so I was busy watching their set.

Licked? Really?

I mean… I guess there are people I might lick, if the opportunity presented itself… but a big time music star would NOT be one of them!

Well, I might lick Lenny Kravitz, but not in public.

Woah... Lenny Kravitz

One of the last names I expected to see on any lick list.

Uhhh... dunno, really.

I guess because if you asked me to come up with all of the lickable male celebrities I could think of, Lenny Kravitz would probably never occur to me. Ever.

LOL, I like to be different.

But you mentioned big time music stars and he’s the first one I thought of. No one else appeals.

So, I finally took a look at this list and here are my "lickables", in no particular order:

Dwayne Johnson
Clive Owen
Johnny Depp
Gabriel Aubry
Daniel Craig
Will Smith (maybe)

Only two of these guys are musicians. But Lenny is better.

Most of the others are just…yuck. Colin Farrell looks like hasn’t showered in years. Orlando Bloom is really a girl. Josh Hartnett is plain ugly. That dude from “Gossip Girl”? Shit no. Robert Pattinson makes me hurl.
