Patterson has been a huge blackhole. Bricked everything he shot and Gasol has abused him on the othe end

Gasol has that fire in him again. Now that Dwight is gone and Kobe is out he is rejuvinated. Looks a lot better than last year.

Most of them were good shots he normally makes just a off night for him

 

[spudfan]

Wouldn't surprise me if the bigs are trying to figure out the defensive schemes Malone is running and that's why they are struggling a bit. Kaman and Gasol are no easy task to stop when they are playing well.

Hummer came back in after rest. He got pulled pretty quick. Poor defense I suspect

 

[Entity]

*jimmer

 

[The_Jamal]

So.

Travis Outlaw

 

[spudfan]

lol @ that Blake layup attempt.

 

[KingMilz]

Seriously Jodie Meeks looking like the 2nd coming of Ray Allen against Jimmer smh

 

[spudfan]

IT with another quick two assists leading to great looks. I don't think it is a coincidence he is racking up the assists at the start of the game, then at half time.

And Jimmer showing why the IT/Jimmer combo doesn't work too well. Leaves a hole in our defense

 

[Entity]

I'm afraid jimmer just is never gonna catch on with lack of defense. I'm sure he tries, he just doesn't have the ability.

 

[spudfan]

Another assist for IT, coming out of a timeout. Nicely done.

Not unless a team has a way to hide him with a big guard like Reke next to him or a defensive anchor. Otherwise I think it'll be hard to have him out there.

Outlaw, as a starter (and the expected minutes that come with that role) isn't chucking. Taking good shots .. he might be the best SF on this roster *shudders* ..

 

[spudfan]

That was 10 points in 4 minutes for the Lakers guards.

 

[spudfan]

Patterson

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Patterson hasn't looked good. I've never been a believer, we'll see ..

 

[Entity]

Wow ok coach Malone first test here. When guy obviously doesn't have IT on a given night lets take him out. Yes that's for Ppat

He's played a sneaky good game. Shooting great(not chucking, actual good shots), playing decent D

 

[spudfan]

WO DID U SEE THAT BALL MOVEMENT

 

[HereWeBoogie]

maybe it was just Keith Smarts globetrotter chucker offense that made Outlaw look extra crappy

 

[The_Jamal]

Ooo. Nice look IT. Ppat got one.

How refreshing is it to see us play some D?

That last play was nice hustle but Cousins almost blew it by overplaying the double on Gasol letting Kaman get a look up close at the rim. I have noticed that Cousins doesn't seem to be cheating off his man and trying to get steals as much during these past two games though.

Nope Outlaw, made Outlaw crappy. The dude was a good roleplayer on Portland. When he went to BK and then us, he fell in love with chucking bad 3pt shots, which killed his value

It also helps he's playing his natural position and not the 4, like he was for Smart

LOVE seeing DFC calling out his guys about defensive positioning.

LOVE seeing DFC calling out his guys about defensive positioning.

I LOVE seeing IT hitting all these guys for open looks, and then the guys knocking them down. So fun to watch.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I think IT has played well aside from a few plays. If he starts, he's going to need to play more like this.

And Outlaw continues to only take good shots at this point. And no, starting him wouldn't be ideal, but the competition at that spot isn't exactly 'fierce'.

 

[KingMilz]

Damn another off the board shot by Cousins man if he gets that take all the jumper you want, has DMC been working on the Tim Duncan trademark??

 

[VF21]

Do you all realize we haven't sworn about the coaching even once and it's well into the third quarter?

Agreed. Both times we have went on good scoring runs were when IT found the open men.
