The Credits: "Better Luck Tomorrow"

by theshmoes on Feb 11, 2012 7:58 AM PST in Credits

Starring: Jeremy Lin. Puns. Nerdy Handshakes. Songs. Jared freakin Jeffries. The Jeremy Lin hype train hit the Lakers head-on Friday night and the results were ridiculous:

And now, the fourth quarter, the victory, the storyline, the thunder tumbling down onto the Garden floor belonged to the improbable, incredible Jeremy Lin. "Enjoy it," Bryant would say late in the locker room. "They'll receive judgment next season."

That's Kobe Bryant vowing revenge on a player a week removed from nearly being cut from the team. That's how bad the Lakers were schooled by Jeremy Lin, to the tune of 38 points. A nightmare for Lakers fans. Every team seems to be finding point guard gems everywhere, except us. Even worse, we could have signed Jeremy Lin this season too.

Just that kind of year I guess...

Much more after the jump...

Kobe endorses Arenas possible signing.

At this point, I hope Arenas is able to contribute.

by E-ROC on Feb 11, 2012 8:58 AM PST via Android app reply actions

Is Arenas going to be that slashing guard we need to help open up the floor?

Dish to the big men, and put in some scoring of his own? I’m just concerned because of his injury.

Glock has to play point guard with a traditional two guard.

If Glock is on the floor with Blake, he’ll be guard by a bigger and longer who plays the two. In the Boston game, Pietrus put Glock in purgatory while Blake was guarded by E’twan Moore. In the Knick game, he was guarded by Shumpert, Fields, Lin, and sometimes Bibby. Glock will be facing bigger guards when he’s on the floor with Blake. He will probably not be productive.

I think Fisher is doing the best he can out there given his age, mileage on those legs and the fact that his offseason was consumed by that stupid lockout. At least he has some excuses. What’s Steve Blake’s excuse for sucking? Dude is terrible. I cant stand him. He brings nothing to the table. He doesnt defend and he’s scared to shoot the ball. Why isnt Goudlock playing? He was doing well for a rook and now his minutes are cut for Steve fucking Blake? Please. I’m not saying G-Lock is the answer to anything but he’s better than Blake.

Fisher has never stolen money

He has been one of the hardest working players the Lakers have ever had. He has earned every contract he was given. He didnt put a gun to Kupchak’s head and say ‘sign this deal or else’. Both parties entered into this contract. If Fisher chooses to retire at the end of the season then fine but if he chooses to make the Lakers honor the contract that was signed thats fine too.

Volunteer please!

I would have thought, given Fisher’s love of the team, and out of respect for Kobe’s closing window of opportunity, that maybe he’d volunteer to sit at the end of the bench, be a great cheer leader, do some motivational coaching…whatever….just don’t play. He really needs to take one for the team just like he always used to take those charges for the team. It’s time to sacrifice for the greater good! But we still need to get a another good PG too.

by Lkrs4eb on Feb 11, 2012 9:45 AM PST reply actions

And who would take Fisher's place @ the point?

I’m all for getting a replacement for Fisher and its long overdue but what are the Lakers options? Steve Blake? Sorry but I’d rather have Fisher. Goudlock is more of a shooting guard but I’d be open to giving him a shot at the point but Mike Brown just buried him on the bench in favor of sorry Blake. When it looked like the Lakers were going to get Chris Paul nobody was happier than Fisher. I think he would gladly take a seat on the bench if there was a better option.

It's closer than you think but you make a good point

Fisher: 26 mpg. 5.2 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals, FG% .351, FT% .840, 3P% .262
Blake: 25 mpg. 7.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals, FG% .370, FT% .556, 3P% .317

If Blake wasnt so scary out there I might agree with you. At least Fish will step up and take (and sometimes make) a big shot. Blake passes up wide open shots all the time and that hurts the team at times. There’s no reason for Blake to lack confidence. He’s going to get minutes by default because there’s nobody else at the point.

It’s not up to him how much he plays per night and definitely not his fault that Glock isn’t getting his PT. I think the Lin-sanity is getting to a lot of ppl and causing some high octane frustrations to budge the ceiling.

I'm not condoning everything the Fish does

him starting is more of a gesture of respect by the team than anything else and I understand that. However what I would prefer is his minutes being limited to 15-20 mins per game and give Glock much more playing time. I dislike MB’s decision to give 30+ mins to Blake in his first game back despite him being out for several weeks. If Blake is struggling then get Glock in and see how he fares. There’s going to be nights where Blake plays better against said team than Glock and vice versa; what we need is consistency in the lineups and not the random shuffling every game.

Buried under the rising Lin dynasty

we forget to realize it was another one of those games where we got torched by a good pg. We’ve weathered such storms before but nobody seems to notice that Bynum shied away from the challenge, again. Tyson Chandler is a good defender but going 1-8 after a 6-15 showing against Boston? Cmon Drew you’re better than that. His inability to elude the double team and turn the ball over is rather frustrating at this point. On top of that, how many damn times do you get an offensive rebound and NOT DUNK THE DAMN BALL?! You’re fucking 7 feet tall and you’re inches from the basket, stop with soft lay-ups and dunk the fucking ball.

No one is asking him to lead.

But stepping up to the plate and exploiting the other team’s absence of Amare and Melo (or any interior presence) would be a step. He has a penchant for fading to black any time he’s really required and that too against real competition. There’s no denying his inside defensive presence, but his PnR defense is atrocious and despite having a great offensive skillset he doesn’t attack the basket and recently settles for distorted shots or slamming the ball off the back board. It’s reasons such as this that I don’t see him deserving of the AS selection.

I don't expect him to throw a 30-20 against Chandler

But he is the starting center for the western conference….he should be able to dominate against 2nd units. The problem with Bynum is that everytime that he is matched up against someone who’s going to body him up he fades….you can’t say that about D12, at least it’s not common.

Stepping up and doing what you need to do is actually a form of leading.

Additionally, I fear that Bynum has more of LeBron’s traits (wanting people to like him and not wanting to be the bad guy) than Kobe’s (don’t give a fuck who likes/doesn’t like him, just want to win). Until he understands that the latter is better, he can’t be the team’s focus. And that has nothing to do with nasty hard fouls that get you suspended, it has to do with a mindset. He gets upset when he doesn’t get the ball and starts to sulk on the floor, slowly getting back on defense and offense, or just not putting up a hand to contest a shot. Then when people start saying, “Bynum should be getting the ball more,” he chimes in and says he needs the ball more. Fuck it, if you’re not gonna play hard all the fucking time, why should you have the ball? That’s not a right.

That's my point when I refer to the "fading to black"

Perhaps I didn’t specify my definition of leading, which is to at least live up to what you’re capable of doing. I don’t see Bynum as being a leader perse where he can carry the burden of responsibility and accountability as Bryant, but to simply at least fucking bring the effort on a nightly basis. I agree his mentality is weak and doesn’t persevere and shift his focus on areas where he can still impact the game if he’s struggling on one end or the other. He came back from the 4-game suspension and played great against no competition and got the praise and reverence from many fans but then when faced with greater challenges he goes back to being nearly non-existent. His body language says that loud and clear. If you compare his games from his return and how he plays now, there’s too much complacency is what I see. Whereas before he ATTACKED the defenders constantly, now he throws a wild layup or forcing shots against two defenders all over him and then not getting back on D in time to at least defend the basket in the same fashion he did post-AS break last year. I just don’t understand the lackadaisical effort on both sides of the ball for him. It’s clear he doesn’t have the attitude to be a leader, but what I ask for is at least make the most of what you get. He got 15 touches against and converted 6. For someone who’s shooting 54% that’s not good. We bitch about Kobe taking too many shots and not getting it to the bigs enough but when they get more touches they don’t capitalize on them, how is that ever going to translate to victory especially when we face teams with little interior presence much less elite squads who have bulked up in the middle to counter us in the one area we should be taking care of most.

Ignorant Laker fans blaming last night’s loss on fisher. Its okay Williams, Wall, Harris/Watson couldnt guard Lin either. It’s up to the rotation to switch over quick enough to stop the penetration.

And Kobe’s strategy just backfired… although I doubt what he had said really mattered.

Lakers need to just go to their big men. Just pound it in inside and draw a lot of fouls in the process. In this season in which a lot of teams are playing fast paced basketball, Lakers would be smart to make teams play at their pace instead of shooting all these long jumpers to keep up.
