Lakers @ Timberwolves. Last game in 9 game Road trip!

Official thread. Gasol is off to a fast start again.

 

This game should be a win, for the first time K-Cal doesn't have a delay game!

Gasol off to a great start, he had a nice block on Jefferson.

 

Wow Fisher tires to spin and shoot with a hand in his face. What is it with him and the difficult shots he takes?

That's his weakness, the GS fans were somewhat right about him, although he obviously fits better here.

 

Gasol with two blocks on Jefferson already, Odom can't finish.


The Machine with the three!

 

Haha! Yes! Sasha hits the three with just over a second left in the quarter.

Pau has a great combination of grace and power.

 

KB having a bad bad bad shooting night...

 

DAMN I FORGOT WE HAD A GAME TODAY!

 

A win here would be a great way to end a should've been a demoralizing road trip.

 

This might FINALLY be the night Odom gets a triple double this year. 7/11/8 still 1 minute remaining in the 3rd.

 

The Machine had a sick play, yea Odom one assist and he has a triple double.

Blowout time to rest our starters.

 

LAMAR ODOM WITH THE TRIPLE DOUBLE.
Doing GREAT as 3rd option.
He's just inhaling rebounds.

 

10/16/10, take that Kidd! Tonight box score looks beautiful. Vujacic with another good game.

 

LO 10/16/10 threw out the remaining season it would be great with little more scoring


LUV how they are plying

 

Sweet way to end the road trip. Just realized that after tonight, we don't play again until after Allstar Weekend. And our first game back will be against Atlanta at the Staples Center. Can't wait to get revenge, and of course, watch Gasol's debut in Los Angeles!

Key word is "should have" been a demoralizing road trip. This dominating road trip is going to be a hell of a good boost going into the second half of the season.

While I didn't watch the game, I've been following it on Yahoo!. First and foremost, Kobe had another solid game, though not his best shooting effort. Pau looks to have had a solid game with 19/9 in only 28min on 9/11 shooting. Now that's what I call efficient. Also, good to see Odom with the triple double. As I said in the other thread, I full expect for him to have more games like this. He can focus more on being the facilitator now and getting others involved as opposed to having to worry about scoring, so I think expecting 7apg or so out of him isn't a reach, especially with Pau in the post and Kobe and co. out on the wings. Also, has anyone else realized how much of a beast he's been on the boards? 16 tonight, 18 a couple games ago. This month, he's averaging 11.6rpg, yea, I'll take that any day of the week. He's also finding consistency, scoring at least 10 points in all but one game this month.

On the note of Gasol, this is actually the first time since he became a Laker that he had back to back really good games. Not sure if anyone else noticed, but he basically was having a good game followed by a mediocre game. Hopefully he's managing to find some consistency now the more he gets into the flow of the offense.

Kobe Re-Injured pinky.

Hope he feels better.

But, we have the ALLSTAR WEEKEND coming up! No more games for like another week or so. Hopefully Kobe will take the time to rest up and heal, even if that means sitting out the Allstar events.

 

I was watching some highlights, that crossover from Kobe on Brewer gave me goosebumps.
