No worries... its just funny that no one even made a thread for the game. And the announcers were saying that this was a BIG W for the suns. No Artest Kobe messed up right hand (still shot above 50%) Bigs are playing like pussies (yes both andrew and pau, everytime they were doubled they either fell to the floor or turned it over) vs. Suns who just seemed to make every 3pt shot in that 3rd qtr run... And we were still only a step behind them every quarter... ill take it... No biggie
I thought Drew played good for a change. I think he needs some time to rest. His upper respiratory infection came back when the team got back to LA and his asthma flared up with it. Granted that was over the weekend and he's had some time to rest, but he's been sick for the better part of a week and a half now. Let him get some rest. Like I've been saying, I'm not concerned with the season right now. Get me when the games actually mean something.
Yup, last night against the Clippers and tonight against the Warriors, both on road. Now I don't feel so bad about Lakers losing against top-notch teams.
Oh fuck I didn't know we had a game tonight. I guess the Suns just got hot, either that or we didn't play a lick of defense. We're struggling right now, but I'm confident we'll bounce back. Anyone know when Ron and Luke return?
Yup, looks like Drew played pretty well. Also looks like their bench torched us. That, and Amare couldn't miss.
Jackson hopes Artest will be able to play tomorrow but I personally doubt it. http://www.nba.com/2009/news/12/28/artest.update.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2
Bynum and Pau should have a field day against the warriors... but then again... theyre in a slump... Hopefully we wont miss artest that much... Hope we could blow them out so even kobe can get his rest (BTW, Kobe got 34 pts on 14-26FG in just 36 mins.)
Drew usually dominates the Warriors IIRC. However, I'm not concerned with his impact right now. I think we've got an issue brewing on our hands with Drew and Gasol not being able to play together yet. The offense seems to just stall when they're both in the game.
We know Kobe could work with either Pau or Drew on the floor with him... Lets see who odom can work with... so eventually we could bring a combo of Drew and Odom off the bench? Then the starters could be Fish - Kobe - Ammo?/Artest (PF?) - Pau - Whoever?
