Lakers @ Kings Game Thread, Wed 11/3, 7:30p

[cuad]

Jackson never lets me down, lol. I love him.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Still a lot of basketball to play!

 

[Larry89]

Hey Look Darnell Jackson getting stuff done

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Donte is our best matchup agaisnt Odom and Kobe. I dont know why he has fallen so far out of our rotation.

Because he showed up at camp at almost DMC's weight and slow.

 

[cuad]

Ugh Landry... Why did you put him back in PW?

 

[Ed2009]

Would be really interesting to know what happend between Donte and PW.
It cant be that on game 1 he is a starter and now not even getting 1min...

 

[Kingstime]

Man this team is so talented that's the most frustrating part, we have players this year I really hope PW can step his coaching game up as the year goes on.

 

[BMiller52]

That was a push off on Gasol. BS call

 

[Tetsujin]

Anytime anyone is by Gasol it's a foul

 

[TheWileyVet]

they showed our bench and its everyone I hoped we would be building our team around going into the season lol


(Reke, Cousins, Casspi, Greene, Thompson)

 

[gunks]

I wouldnt mind seeing a Jackson/JT lineup at the 4/5


Anything but Landry

 

[spudfan]

One of the reasons Tyreke has 5 fouls is because our worthless coach left him on their best player to pick up 3 or 4 ticky tack fouls. We should've had Cisco or Greene out there guarding Kobe the whole time. That's what we did last year with Donte and the games were way closer than this team despite having less talent.

You are blaming 3 or 4, self proclaimed TICKY TACK fouls on the coach? How more ridiculous can you be. Whether or not Tyreke should be on Kobe is debatable but when you say the fouls are ticky tack, which they were, it is hard to blame them on Westphal. If Tyreke is going to commit silly fouls they are on him.

 

[cuad]

landry can't guard pick and rolls.

Yeah that's what I'm wondering, I didn't wanna put it out there because I know I'll never find out the reason. But seriously what is going on? He hasn't played a minute in 3 games.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, if they're going to call us for a foul anyway, might as well get our money's worth and hack the *&^% out of them!!

 

[Gabriel]

Landry does not hit that long jumper consistently enough to shoot it as much as he does.

TAKE HIM THE HELL OUT.

 

[gunks]

For real!

Pau should leave some of his teeth in Arco

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Prob the Hawes treatment.

 

[Larry89]

Landry cannot guard Odom

If Tyreke is going to commit silly fouls they are on him.

They weren't silly fouls(except the one where he dove into Fisher's leg going after the ball in the 3rd quarter or whatever that was). They were him battling for post position. The solution is simple, and dang near everyone in the NBA knows that Kobe does worse against long athletic guys than against guys the same size as him. We turned him into a volume shooter last year with Greene on him, now we just doubled him and put our best player on him or Casspi? come on you know that's a joke and you're just making excuses for Westphal. There's no reason for Greene to be glued to the bench all game tonight. Not to mention that Darnell Jackson was playing well and we were making up points and then he takes him out. His rotations suck dude.

 

[spudfan]

Since when is "playing minutes" a position? The kings have Beno and Head on the floor at the same time, how about luther head gets the DNP instead? Does luther head even do anything PG ball handling? He's just playing as a midget 2 bricking threes making bad decisions

Since he said he wanted Head out. Yes, he does do "PG ball handling. He has played 9 minutes and shot 3 3-pointers. One was in transition on a 3 on 3. Two were wide up spot up shots. He has 0 turnovers and 3 assists. How can you equate that to bad decision making?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Because he showed up at camp at almost DMC's weight and slow.

Eh. The facts are VERY fuzzy on that whole situation. So many questions surround it. If he was SO bad why did we start him at the beggining of the season? We still dont know if it was fat or muscle, we still dont know who told him to put on the weight. The full story surrounding Donte would be interesting.

Why keep him active is he isnt going to sniff playing time?

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

For real!

Pau should leave some of his teeth in Arco

And I think Mandry should be the one to do it, just so HE isnt the one getting his teeth pounded in for a change...he can turn the tables finally!

 

[gunks]

JT needs to be in the game, but just to rebound.

He was getting us soooo many extra possessions. That was crucial.

 

[Larry89]

Need cisco in instead of luther head..

 

[Tetsujin]

At this point, I'm more confident in D-Jax than with anyother big except Cuz on O

 

[Gabriel]

Head & landry = wtf.

 

[Larry89]

Hey remember when we were talking about Luther Head's minutes

 

[BMiller52]

Head can't guard anyone and is ice cold. No reason for him to be in the game over donte.

 

[Ed2009]

Prob the Hawes treatment.

So in the end he will be traded..same story?
