Kings-Lakers 10-26-07 game discussion

[kennadog]

Kevin is really struggling. He's taken the most shots by far and is shooting only about 30% He does have 5 RBs and 2 assts, tho.

 

[chrisnu]

Laker bigs are dominating the Kings bigs right now. Turiaf and Bynum are pretty much getting to do whatever they want in the post.

Brian Cook was making Reef look like an All-Star. I'd be surprised if he sees lots of playing time in the second half.

I've been watching on the local LA channel, and the announcers mentioned earlier in the 2nd quarter that Moore had played 11 minutes, without getting a single rebound. Well, yeah.

 

[VF21]

Interesting, but not true. I know he's had at least two rebounds.

 

[creAtivetfh]

im depressed and the season hasnt even started yet

 

[chrisnu]

Interesting, but not true. I know he's had at least two rebounds.

You're right; the NBA.com scoreboard reports that he had two boards. They may have come later in the second quarter.

On the other hand, Reef and KT had 9 rebounds in the first half, Martin had 5 rebounds, and Garcia had four. The Kings are out-rebounding the Lakers 25-17. That's surprising.

True... the bad news is that with 2 assists, he's tied for the team lead. 7 for the half is... not good.

 

[creAtivetfh]

too much 1 on 1 still

 

[mac]

Bynum is seriously owning the boards

 

[creAtivetfh]

Bynum is seriously owning the boards

we always get owned in teh 4-5 spots no matter what

 

[creAtivetfh]

no way! we are making another mediocre center look like an all star

 

[mac]

I think Bynum IS good. Definitely a developing star. Anyway, we are just...losing.

 

[creAtivetfh]

WATKINS!!!

wow we have someone who can throw down a powerful dunk

 

[mac]

If Watkins and Jwill become good FT shooters then they'll certainly be a lot more productive. I know Watkins is generally better but still.

 

[nbrans]

It's clear that Garcia has worked very hard this offseason to perfect the art of leaving a three point shooter wide open.

 

[nbrans]

Again!!

(The guy Cisco is guarding)..... FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[creAtivetfh]

Again!!

(The guy Cisco is guarding)..... FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEE

then on the other end he passes up the three just to pick up a charge

 

[creAtivetfh]

koby carl>the kings

 

[VF21]

It's COBY KARL, not Koby Carl. He's George Karl's son.

 

[mac]

i dont suppose they're too concerned about winning since Artest is staying out.

 

[VF21]

Artest is staying out because Theus wants the guys who will be starting the season to try and win a close game at the end. Artest won't be there for 7 games, remember?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kareem Abdul BYNUM has been the #1 difference in getting the Lakers a 6 pt lead with about 3 mins left.

 

[VF21]

Both Bynum and Turiaf have been pretty much impossible to stop. Sure would have liked to see Artest match up against them.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I want to see final stats on assists, but I know the Kings only had around total 7 in the first half - terrible. Luke Walton has had a lot of assists - probably more than the entire Kings team it would seem.

 

[nbrans]

I hope taking up 22 seconds for an off balance shot by Kevin Martin wasn't how Theus drew that one up.

 

[babycat]

Mustafa should have 3 assists and 2 rebounds

 

[nbrans]

I also hope that this is just a learning experience and not how Theus will use timeouts in the regular season. Zero timeouts left, no way to advance the ball.

 

[creAtivetfh]

sigh

 

[mac]

Artest is staying out because Theus wants the guys who will be starting the season to try and win a close game at the end. Artest won't be there for 7 games, remember?

Yea I know. But what I mean is if they really really wanted to win the game they could put him in. Anyway, very bad night for Martin...Now if he was shooting at his usual percentage he'd have like ... 40 points

 

[creAtivetfh]

nice play out of the timeout

 

[mac]

If the Kings win this it'll be really amazing
