That would've been a great shot to end the half. Good first half!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Outstanding defense by McLemore to end the quarter.

 

[VF21]

Well, this is kinda fun.

 

[xrzn]

Ben > Kobe

That is all.

 

[Tetsujin]

I really cannot overstate how amazing Ben's defense has been on Kobe in the second quarter.

 

[theclash4u5]

That was Kobe's 2nd turnover of the game....the Lakers have 2 total. I guess it's hard to turn it over when you shoot it everytime Kobe or Nick Young are in

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Damn the Lakers play really terrible defense and lack any sort of offense outside of give it to Kobe or SwaggyP

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben > Kobe

That is all.

At this point in their respective careers, I'd say yes.

 

[lwc]

How can a player have a -7 +/- in only 6 minutes? Sheesh Ramon! lol

 

[Sac.Kings]

Ben is good. He should see the ball more often. He's this teams version of Peja but can play defense like Christie. Just has to be consistent with it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Well, this is kinda fun.

Yeah, it's really nice. Believe it or not, mute will enhance the overall experience

I'm going to start a thread titled "Kobe's Impact On This Team Hides Malone's Ineptitude"

 

[lwc]

There are not many words in the English language that end in "f". One is "ref". Another is "Maloof". Coincidence?

I was going to hit 'like' because you bring up a great point, however, the word "Maloof" was used and I simply cannot 'Like' anything associated with the Maloofs.

Few things in basketball watching infuriates me as much as “Lakers down by 11, let’s show Lakers highlights” #otherteamsplaybasketballtoo

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Starters in, lead by 9.

Subs in, lose lead.

Starters in, lead by 7.

Nice pattern.

I already told you guys, like, a month ago what we need to do: let the starters establish a lead, and then instruct the bench to just hold onto the ball, for every possession, until the starters can come back in. Even if they commit a shot clock violation on every possession, they'd still give up fewer points than if they tried to play "offense."

I was going to like your post, but then ... well, you know.

Or you could listen to the Lakers announcers pretend that Kobe is still a good NBA player like I am.

Ben is good. He should see the ball more often. He's this teams version of Peja but can play defense like Christie. Just has to be consistent with it.

I love this analogy. I think Ben is fueled a lot by his D. If you see him break out when he forces the other team in a bad shot I wish our bigs would outlet it to him for an y easy highlight dunk!

Okay, that was funny.

Yep. The only reason why they have only 2TOs is because a few of their players always takes a shot as soon as the ball reaches their hands.. that's a good way to minimal TO's...but please don't tell Malone!

 

[kingsking]

Ben 5 shots 13 points. Kobe 13 shots 11 points. Good D Ben

If only we had a Divac, we might really be going places.

 

[kingsking]

Boozer, Sacre, Swag P all shot better than 50% yet the half time crew wants Kobe's "supporting cast" to step up. Jesus

Sorry, the Lakers get me all worked up. I really ought to watch my language.

 

[VF21]

We need to talk to the Grand Poobah. He needs to adjust our profanity filters.

 

[kingsking]

I bet Kobe starts flopping a bit on his post ups to get Ben in foul trouble. He is obviously the less superior player tonight so he'll let the refs give him the advantage he needs to get over 20 pts. Just sayin

Tonight's game-time libation: Fireball and eggnog

Do not knock it if you haven't tried it. (For consumption by those 21 and over, of course.)

 

[kingsking]

Lakers shoot 14 more shots and make 1 less. Priceless

 

[jcwkings]

Watching this game just makes me wish Boogie was healthy, the guys are playing better game by game but at the end of the day Cousins is just that important in the big picture.

I have eggnog! But no Fireball. I heard that stuff causes blindness.
