Lakers 90, Sixers 95 - Williams Sparks Comeback, Spoils Kobe's Night

PrintThe Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Philadelphia 76ers tonight 95 to 90, dropping to 1-2 on their Grammys road trip. Kobe Bryant played like the "Black Mamba" in the first half as he scored 24 points, passing former teammate Shaquille O'Neal on the all time scoring list in the process. In the 2nd half the 76ers sent a steady diet of double teams to Bryant and he proceeded to pick them apart with his passing as his teammates finished off the possessions. An Andrew Bynum dunk with under 5 minutes to play put the Lakers up 86-79. Then Lou Williams did his best Kobe impression as a closer, scoring 12 of the teams final 16 points in a 16 to 4 run to close the game.
The Lakers offense was powered by Kobe Bryant's 28 points and Andrew Bynum's 20-20 game. They also received solid play from Andrew Goudelock (9 points) and Troy Murphy (7 points) off the bench. Unfortunately for LA it wasn't enough to overcome the well balanced team effort in which eight of the nine Sixers scored at least 8 points, led by Williams' 24. The all too familiar three point shooting woes emerged again as the Lakers made only 7 of 24 attempts (29%). They also were a minus-12 in the turnover department tonight against a very efficient Sixers team. The combination of poor shooting and turnover differential proved too much to make up, even with a 21 rebound effort on the offensive glass.

No he's good defensively but his offense is horrible
His defense is what allows the Lakers to be close in games.

Well In the mist of all this negativity I'd like to say I am really happy that Seattle is close to building a new arena and I hope that if Sacramento doesn't get an arena Seattle does so the Sonics will be back

I know this should go in the trade thread, but...
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6pjkt72
Don’t ban me for proposing a trade involving Bynum after this game, but it’s evident this team needs a move.
Lakers get: Stephen Curry, David Lee
Warriors get: Andrew Bynum
Lacob loves Curry like no other. Buss loves Bynum like no other. It’d be a tough pill to swallow both ways.
Why LAL does this: We lose size in the post, but put Pau in there like he was with Odom and have Lee play Odom’s position. He’s been a super-consistent 15-10 guy this year who’s given great effort on D (which is really all we can ask for, and it wouldn’t hurt too much to pair him with Pau given Gasol’s defensive improvement). With Curry, we get an AMAZING point guard. I have a bit of a man-crush on him (as you can tell by my screen name), but he’ll give us a ball-handler, distributor, lights-out shooter, and an amazing piece for the future. Lee’s contract sucks, but our cap situation won’t improve either way until Kobe retires (which will hopefully not happen in the next ten years).
Why GSW does this: The need to break up the Monta-Curry backcourt (same story as the past 2 years). Personally, I love Curry and would hate to see him leave the team that I see multiple times a year, but I’d take comfort knowing he’s going to my #1 team :) They get a true centerpiece for the future. Pair Monta with a back-to-the-basket big who can defend the shit out of the paint, surround them with shooters (Klay, Dorell, Rush, etc.) and you’ve got something enticing for the future. It’d be almost like putting Monta on Orlando right now.
Definitely worth thinking about both ways. This trade would be tough to swallow, though.

From a Warrior's fan perspective
Trade away a potential superstar PG and our most consistent big (who’s earned every buck thus far this year) who together have incredible chemistry and have recently displayed a nearly unstoppable pick and roll for a center with iffy knees… just brilliant!

"One thing LeBron James has won that Kobe Bryant never has, and never will: A bronze medal."- Josh Tucker
Let me go on the record
saying I love Bynum. I would have trouble trading him for Dwight Howard because of the prospect of what he could possibly become.
Still, not every trade is going to be a Gasol heist (no, not even for my and your Lakers). You gotta give up something to get something. At first, this trade looks horrible from both perspectives. But look into it. It makes sense.

Why would the Warriors hate this deal exactly?
Not pretending to be above their logic-I don’t know their squad well. But Center’s one of their weak positions, and Monta is still on the team to play point
I don't like the defensive implications of this trade,
Gasol has played great defense this year, but he’s still not drew. A Gasol+Curry front line is pretty unimpressive from a defensive point of view, at least imo. Our starting 5 would be 2 slightly above average defenders, and 3 mediocre to bad defenders. Don’t like that thought
You mean Gasol+Lee frontline.
A Gasol+Curry front line
by BoneCruncher24 on Feb 6, 2012 7:36 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah that's the tougher side of this deal.
It would solve most of our offensive problems. Steph is no Chris Paul but he’s way underrated as a defender. He reaches a bit too much (occasionally committing inexcusable fouls) but does a very solid job of moving his feet and anticipating his opponent. He would be a HUGE improvement on the perimeter over D Fish (although a turtle would be, too, I guess).
Interior D would be tough, though. In this scenario, I’d hope Mike Brown’s defensive system allows us to not have too much of a drop-off defensively and therefore the offensive improvements would outweigh defensive losses.

and you gotta remember if we had Kobe from those years on this team we’d have a btter record because of he GREAT he was those years

Yes he is, but tonight showed the difference. 4 years ago Kobe is 8-10 in the 4th even with those tough shots.

A coach who is maximizing the talent on the roster
Thats the parallel I was drawing here

Follow me on Twitter @FRESHPRINCE526
OK, yes Belichek is a great coach, but that's also of Brady's doing aswell
Was it Dungy or Peyton who was leading the Colts to so many great seasons? Phil would have a sub-par record w/ this sub par team aswell
AMMO carried the Lakers to back-2-back titles and we couldn't even get LEWIS MONROE for him...
The Coach still has something to do with it, they call the plays
They organize practice, they give them indiviual drills to make the great ones better. The great coaches game plan like no other, I mean down to the very detail. I believe Phil would have this team slightly better than where we are now. Atleast we would be scoring points
I have a bad headache, and its for BASKETBALL REASONS

Scoring points didn't help last season even with a better team

Well what does that tell you?
It isn’t Phil or Brown and it isn’t scoring or not scoring. We just haven’t been as deep as we thought the past 2 years and we have gotten so much older and less versatile

Welker,Branch, those TE's

Come on now. Compared to the Giants they were not that better
Their coach just get the most out of his players. 22 of 53 players were undrafted or taken in the 5th round or below. Everyone else is ok. I mean did Welker scare anyone on the Giants? No… Branch is old and he may retire
I have a bad headache, and its for BASKETBALL REASONS
Follow me on Twitter @FRESHPRINCE526
Yes the Giants were a better team, but what does that have to do with the Pats being a talented team?
It doesn’t matter if your undrafted or taken in the 5th round ask Tom Brady about that. And The Pats don’t have the best D but Wilfork and Chung are good, and Wes is a good receiver for his size. Hernandez and Gronk were steady all year long.
Regardless dude, we just aren’t that great a team outside our big guns. W/o Steve Blake we are relying on a 2nd round draft pick to carry the bench for a supposed championship contender, That can’t happen man.

If this was the NFL and you could trade coaches
Although trading for Mike Brown would be like trading for Luke so… :|
I really want the Lakers to win, I do BUT
For some reason I want us to do bad so that this could blow up in Jim Buss’ face!!! I really do. He wanted a reason to get rid of Phil, but since we were winning he couldnt do it. When we lost like that in the playoffs, it was his sign to get rid of everyone. I wouldnt be surprised if one day he trades Kobe and rebuilds around Bynum. He did B-Shaw dirty, he let Aldeman go to MInny with KHAAAANNNNN, he brought in MIke Brown of all people. And of course he traded LO for nothing. So I really hope we suck for a while, we fire Brown and get someone else. Something similar when Tomjonivich was in, he left midseason, do the same with Mike Brown and his bum ass staff!!! This is LA!!

When Mitch gave him more than one year and more than the minimum, I was like DAMMIT. And that’s on Mitch
I remember Kobe said he wanted him back, he didn't make any demands.
Lakers made the decision to re-sign Fisher. Nothing Kobe could have done if they hadn’t. And they didn’t beat any offers.

Kobe was pretty adamant about it
Not as bad as trade demands, but he told management to do it
The Heat were competing for Fisher at the time
Adamant about wanting Fisher is not making a demand. He told Fisher he wanted him back.
“I have decided to continue with Kobe, continue with our teammates and the fans of Los Angeles,” Fisher said in a statement on his website. “While this may not be the most lucrative contract I’ve been offered this offseason, it is the most valuable. I am confident I will continue to lead this team on and off the court. Let the hunt for six begin.”

I agree
That dude wants to rebuild around Bynum. U know Kobe will try to score 100 everytime. Shit he would probably go to the Clippers just so he could murder us everyday…… That would start a mutiny

"Milestone for Kobe in Defeat"
too many times have I read this headline
how you doin'
Twitter: @bluefalcon916
At this point, it's not even the foibles of our top three that concern me, it's basically everyone else.
Blake was a solid game manager when he was healthy. Goudelock stepped up and showed that he has NBA ready skills between his shooting and that nice floater. So perhaps the backcourt might be serviceable once Blake comes back. Besides them, it’s a complete shitshow though. Our threes are arguably worse than our point guards right now, as MWP and Barnes are both worthless offensively (although MWP is still respectably solid at defense, Barnes less so), which makes me wonder why Ebanks hasn’t played more. Murphy can shoot well in spot-up and pick-and-pop situations but he’s so worthless defensively that it’s not really worth it. McBobs should be playing and developing some chemistry with Drew in the process. His passing shoudl also help grease the wheels of the second unit’s offense more. Also curious what Caracter can show given that he had some nice games in the D-League.
Bottom line is that everyone else outside of the Kobe/Gasol/Bynum trio is usually so putrid that the margin for error for the aforementioned three becomes razor thin, so the errors of Kobe hogging the ball in crunch time get unduly magnified. That’s one reason why not going ahead with a Sessions deal befuddles me. You MIGHT get Dwight. You CAN get Sessions and help solidify the bench unit, so do that. Same thing with trying hard for Smith. Ironic thing is that both are improvements to arguably the strongest part of the bench (the backcourt). We actually need more help at the three (Beasley?) and the five (Przybilla? Earl Barron?).

makes me wonder if the margin for erro would have been the same with a cp3, kobe, bynum/dwight trio.
Well, that one is easy since Paul >>>>>>>> Gasol, but point taken.
I would say that things are infinitely easier on offense when you have someone like Paul managing things. Someone like McBobs who can’t create for himself becomes infinitely more viable. The number of easy looks Bynum would get would be ridiculous. Barnes could feast from Paul’s passing on cuts and similar. He glues everything else together.

definitely

We signed McBobs after the Paul trade fell through, but seeing as we were targeting him from the start, it's easy to say that that was the case.

It's hard for him to thrive without someone feeding him the ball.
No Blake has hurt in that regard and Kobe works better with bigs who can shoot off the P&R rather than roll.

I really don't want Beasley.
I’m pretty uninformed on who other teams are looking to trade. Aren’t there any serviceable 3s out there, besides him?
But, yeah, apart from this, I agree on all fronts
There really isn't. Almost as bad as the PG market.
Beasley can be really good when put in a good situation.
AMMO carried the Lakers to back-2-back titles and we couldn't even get LEWIS MONROE for him...
bring him off the bench as our 6th man.
we have enough scoring in the starting unit. he could dominate against other teams second units.
beasley and smith off the bench FTW

God that would be better than getting a superstar. Those two could totally change our outlook on the season.
A second unit of Goudelock, Blake, Smith, Beasley and McRoberts would be nice

even with murphy at the 5,
is still a good bench.

id take murphy over mbenga.
the thing is, murphy is horrible on defense, but the coaching staff does not hide this very well. He needs to be playing the 5. the last couple games, he has been asked to guard players like millsap, young, diaw, love….. he cant guard those guys. he needs to be on the floor as a 5 and guard the other teams center.

for all those that think the triangle is the answer since we have a poor PG
Phil Jackson in Chicago with the triangle didn’t play with totally useless point guards, john Paxon, bj Armstrong, Steve Kerr and Ron Harper was pretty good point guards. Phil Jackson didn’t play with terrible point guards, he had a very young Fisher, Brian Shaw, Tyronn Lue Ron Harper and Kobe playing a lot of pg ball handling duties
Every guy you listed,
while perfectly serviceable, are somewhat like Goudelock. Not amazing decision makers or playmakers for others. The triangle made plays so the point guards wouldn’t have to.
Damn
Would be a good time had the Lakers drafted Jeremy Lin and have him on our team right now

He will eat after CP3, Blake, Billups, and Mo had their turn.
On the lakers, once its bench time, J.R. can have virtually every shot if our bench stays playing like they do.
If CP3 goes down for a season, then I'd say they are cursed
I think they’ll be fine even without billups

A little question for you guys
how many of you predicted that we would win or lose this game before it started? I know I predicted this game as a loss based on how bad our bench players (except G-Lock) are and how well the 76ers are compared to us. I didn’t expect the milestone curse to pop up, though.
Proud to be a brony.
I thought we would win
Just because I didn’t think Philadelphia was that good. Boy, was i wrong

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -Confucius
How were we gonna win
when the 76ers’ bench scored at least 40 points in 20/24 games they played?
Actually, make that 21/25.
Proud to be a brony.
I don't watch Philly games
The last game I remember watching them in was against Miami in the playoffs last season. So it was just in my head that they weren’t that great

Oh, I see.
When I make predictions, I do it based on how we are doing, our roster, and our schedule. I also look at the opponents to see how they do.
However, I make the predictions 2-4 games at a time, so some of my predictions can be off.
So far, I have guessed 22 out of 25 games correctly.

He’s having an MRI tomorrow.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. - Albert Einstein
Captain Obvious, er, MagicJohnson: Kobe, Bynum & Gasol all must step up big to beat the @76ers.

When I think about it, the Lakers losing is really ingenious..
Before people call me crazy let me explain, we all know Lakers play way better at Staples Center. If the playoffs started today, who would the Lakers play in the first round? And where would they play in the first round? That’s right. It’s the closest thing they’ll have in home court advantage. Sheer genius Mike Brown, sheer genius.
Let's face it
we’re no longer the top teams in the NBA anymore. Even Kobe knows that. If we are unable to play hard enough to earn a top seed and home court advantage in the postseason (if we make it to the postseason, that is), then so be it.
Proud to be a brony.
