[Game] Lakers @ Kings - 10/30/15 - 7 pm PDT/10 pm EDT

We came out and did what we were supposed to do! We showed the Lakers who the better team is and didnt let up all game :)))) No more lost leads folks!
 
I like how aggressive Ben was. If he continues to draw contact and use his athleticism to finish, he will be more than what we expect him to be,

I must have developed McLemore blindness because I still didn't see him having that much impact. I'm going to rewatch the game and try to focus on him to see if I'm just overlooking him.

He didn't he's still a work in progress but I'm not giving up on him.

Ben didn't have a great stat line, but he played a lot better today. He just needs some of his shots to go in. He was really active off the ball. Cutting and getting open. He didn't get the ball a lot of times, but that's what you'd like to see out of Ben. The off-ball movement stuff.

On defense, he didn't do too well on Clarkson, but he wasn't the only one guarding him. Clarkson's ability to drive is a + for him.

Overall defensive rotations were meh. Gave a few too many open looks.

i saw him out there a few times tonight, which is an above average performance from him

Thank you. That gives me something to watch for.

It's easy to give into the temptation to boil McLemore's performance down to numbers, but his energy was high, and he gave good effort on both ends of the floor. He did well moving without the basketball and putting himself in position to get open looks. Granted, they still weren't going in, but one would expect that to change eventually, if he continues to work hard. On defense, he was hustling, and running through screens well; I think playing with Cauley-Stein gave him a little confidence to be more aggressive defensively, too.

I think that a case could be made that he was the best SG wearing powder blue tonight. Now, he probably won't be tomorrow night but, if he hustles like he did tonight, I think we'll be okay.

That Clarkson kid can ball! Ben actually played him straight up a few times but he hit anyways.
 
Respect is earned on the court. Win games and the media will have to acknowledge. If we're still in the playoff hunt after all stars, the attention will be there.
This is the mentality that I like. Some fans expect a lot of success from this group, but I expect sweat, blood, and tears. The wins may or may not come, but as long as I see good basketball, it's all good.
 
Amazing........ The only real down sides to this game were the fact that the lead was so big, we never got to chant Beat LA and all the faker fans hung out on the concourse and made the beer lines long. Oddly, a great many of them came back into the lower bowl AFTER the game to take pictures. I can only assume they are carefully chronicling the end of Kobe's career? We passed a group of them, taking a picture around center court. I smiled pleasantly at them and said, sweetly, "be sure to get the Scoreboard in your shot" They THANKED me and adjusted the shot to include it. WTAF??? How many times were you people IN the beer line?
That was some fun to watch. Once these guys fully gel, look out. Rondo.......DAMN!, WCS, DAYUM!!!! The lakers though, are REALLY, REALLY bad....... which also makes me happy.

Those fans are taking pictures of the bandwagon they're about to hop on for the next decade or so! :p

hahaha thanks for the laugh, can picture them.
 
Now that DMC is a willing 3pt shooter that lane is wide open for him to bully in then slow it up a bit and get an easy bucket :P I love how smart of a player his! You could tell he wanted to take another 3 but decided to just go inside and do what he does best!

This man may go down as a top 5 center in NBA history
 
Thank you, Vivek. Thank you, Vlade. And thank you Great God Naismith. We have a team.
It was a good game, unfortunately we just played the D-league all-stars. So, I'll reserve judgement until about ten games in.
 
Bellienli for a guy who is suppose to be a notoriously bad defender has actually I think played good defense on the Kings. Good to see Rajon doing his thing terrific team effort great way to get confident for tommorrow
