Preseason Game Thread: Utah Jazz @ LA Lakers

Monster block by Kobe on everyone's favorite Collins.

 

Can anyone clarify what happened to Phil?

 

So far, this game looks like a preseason game. But I like what I see from Trevor, Pau, and Bynum.

Farmar looks good for now, but I need to see more before I can judge how he is.

Who wants to see the Machine? lol

 

His leg is swelling..might be an allergic reaction to his medication. So he is taking the night off.

 

I'm liking what I've seen from Bynum. I like the fact that he has expanded his range a little bit, looks like he can shoot jumpers now. I just hope that doesn't make him shy away from the paint now that he has a little more range. But still, watching Bynum play, you can tell he's not in game shape. His elevation isn't there yet, and like I said, his timing is off. Give him more playing time to knock off the rust!

 

I can't watch this game so any other summaries would be greatly appreciated. :]

 

I feel sorry for you. You're missing out

 

Mihm???

Damn I think I see a ghost...

 

It's good to see Chris back on the floor.

 

Mihm with the little turnaround jump hook.

Powell with the little 8-10ft jumper..

Turnovers are killer....preseason...humbug

 

Wow Powell resembles Turiaf so much on the court. lol

 

Oh yeah, I thought we still had Ronny once Josh got on the court. I like his activity and his rebounding.

DJ playing like crap. Two goal tends, one air ball, and a horrible pass.

Heath and Crawford are in, I wanna see what they can do.

 

Yeah Powell has been impressive. I like his game more than Ronny's, but Ronny just brings more intangibles with team chemistry and stuff. But at least with Powell in the game, we won't have to worry about giving up offensive rebounds every single possession.

 

Heath and Crawford put up some good defensive pressure.

It's halftime and we are leading 42-40.

Powell is impressive, I like him and I think he can be really solid for us.

DJ looks worse than he did last year. Bynum has been great. Pau has only played 5mins, got a nasty cut on his lip.
Kobe hasn't scored. I don't think Lamar as either. Trevor looks great.

Man I really wish Sun Yue played today. That lineup we just saw to end the half needed a ballhandling, playmaking guard....

 

Pau looked great when given the minutes. His jumper was unstoppable. The inside out game with him and Bynum is gonna be great in the future!

Also, Dynasty, I don't think I saw Sun Yue anywhere on the bench, although I could be wrong. I don't think he's here tonight...

 

He's wearing a tan suit on the bench, they said they kept him out of this game for precautionary reasons as he did JUST return to practice, but Stu said he looked great shooting around earlier before the game with the guys. Most likely will see him on Thursday.

Lamar is sloppy today btw. Doesn't look interested. His lacsidasical-ness scares me, in that it can really harm us. I would've preferred having Tayshaun, seriously.

 

Yup, make sure you turn to ESPN2!

 

Bynum has a nice lefty layup.

Lamar fouled on a nice set of passes by Kobe and Fish.

We're up 2. 58-56

Trevor is still playing at a high level

 

Jazz up by 6. 66-60.

Powell gave up a stupid inbound to Deron Williams. Ronnie Brewer is scoring on too many dunks. Someone needs to body him up, I don't care if he can't shoot, body him.

Bynum has 4 fouls mainly on reaches. Pau hasn't played at all in the 2nd half. Sasha isn't playing today...anyone know why?
Luke hasn't stepped on the court either.

 

End of the 3rd. Jazz up 76-69.

We aren't playing any D....gambling too much. Looking like crap out there.
