[Game] Preseason Game 5: Kings Vs. Lakers via Las Vegas, 7 pm PST, 10/13/10

Sloppy basketball. I don't know why Evans didn't try and take Kobe to hole. Instead he settled for an ugly 3 ball

 

[nickmcclure]

We could use a little more D.

voila Landry blocks Kobe

Is there a law that you can't pass the ball inside to Cousins

Is there a law that you can't pass the ball inside to Cousins

I'm wondering the same right now...

I've noticed the team is pretty lazy going after rebounds right now

 

[Showtime]

I'd like to see what offense Paul actually coaches, because this is purely one on one. No off ball movement, and they are totally ignoring Cousins on the offensive end. It's 4 guys standing around.

The last two times we did that he had a turnover and the Lakers are doing a good job of preventing that.

 

[bajaden]

So far all we have is the perimiter players throwing up shots. Very little passing of the ball and no effort to develop an inside game.

 

[nickmcclure]

That being said of course he gets the ball inside and scores lol

I would honestly rather see Cousins chucking in the post than Tyreke chucking from 20 feet.

 

[est.1999]

Evans shot needs a heckuva lot more work.

 

[Tetsujin]

IT's amazing what one night will do to an entire board's positive vibes

True that, if this wasn't the Lakers, I'd say let's let Reke shoot all night it's PREseason people

 

[nickmcclure]

Also, this is the Lakers, not the Warriors

 

[cuad]

Nice offensive rebounding there.

 

[nickmcclure]

Casspi is playing well no doubt but why aren't we playing Donte at all? I thought we wanted him to lose weight lol. Put him on the floor in an NBA preseason game...that's some serious cardio.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Say what you want about Casspi's selfishness or whatever, but you have to like the way he 'gets after it'. Always working, always trying to make something happen.

 

[Henkel]

Nice Malcolm Gladwell shout out. These Lakers announcers are pretty decent.

 

[nickmcclure]

what a bs call on Thompson

+1. He's really gotta tone down his tunnel-vision but there's no questioning his work ethic.

 

[nickmcclure]

Donte and I are clearly frustrated!!!!!

Stu called Donte Green ugly. Great commentating.

Called the game he was having ugly. 0-3FG 0-3FT at the time.

 

[Henkel]

What a awful quarter. All the iso was excusable last year because of the roster, but at this point I was hoping for more.

 

[Dr. Spaceman]

Stu called Donte Green ugly. Great commentating.

You sure? I thought they were just talking about his statline and the two donuts he'd put up until that point in the game. But then again, I was a little distracted during his free throws just now.

 

[Megalodon]

Bad anouncing. Laker Love fest ....


Come on kings! Reminds me of the Niners: can't defend the long ball.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Cousins has said a player whos game he likes alot is Gasol......well....hes getting a first hand look at it.

 

[jockthisfoo]

I wish hassan, beno, and dalembert was here.......

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings were up by 1 starting 3rd Q. They scored 12 pts to go down by 15 to LA. I can't believe no one put a hand in the face of Odom on that final 3 buzzer beater. Donte?! Not much of an impact to say the least. But he's out there for the 4th to hopefully redeem himself.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Anybody else get pissed when you go to NBA.com to check stats and they always show like 5 top plays that are always the other team when you look at the Kings stats?

 

[cuad]

Lol Landry can't get a break today.
