Hoping to see the Lakers continue to pass the ball and pressure the Suns on defense. There will be bad shots, there will be bad passes. Hopefully the Lakers can overcome their errors again tonight.

Need to find a way to stop Bledsoe from running all over us.

The hell is going on with @LALakersboy24.7? Did someone fire him from his official game thread makin' duties?

@OutlawImmortal
@Retroram52
@ChiefsLakers67
@Lakers+USC=#1

Anyone?

Dude has 1 job!! One!!

:heh:

He mentioned before that he has been working more often, I'm guessing he's just been busy.

Btw, Lakers off to a solid start.

I remember when folks thought I was crazy for saying World Peace would be a good fit for this team. The Lakers have played well despite the fact that the Suns play at a much, much quicker pace.

He needs to get his priorities in order.

I thought he was being kept pretty much to mentor Randle. Never thought he'd play this much or this well.

How the fuck did we take a project with the #2 pick?

I wanted Mudiay if we went with a guard.

He's the only decent guard on that team. He controls the ball 100% of the time.

You really like him.....huh?

I don't know. I just know that I'm not going to decide he's a bust or sucks after 10 games.

I think his talent is obvious and I like everything I'm hearing about his work ethic and attitude. The kid lobbied to be drafted by the Lakers because he wanted to be mentored by Kobe because he knew Kobe wouldn't go easy on him. He said in interviews that he doesn't want anything handed to him. I respect that.

Maybe he'll live up to his talent, maybe he won't. But I think we should give him more than 10 games.

I never said he couldn't improve or that he is a bust......just that he sucks right now this very minute.

I understand he has a great attitude and work ethic and maybe he can improve. Never said he couldn't. But, imo right now he sucks.

And being a die hard Laker fan I hope he truly does improve because if he turned into a bust.....that would suck.

Metta has impressed me this season. I didn't think he had this much game left in him.

I disagree that he sucks. He's not putting up the numbers that he likely will when he actually knows how to play, but when you consider that he's learning the position, sharing touches and only averaging about 23 or so minutes per game, he's doing fine.

I'll bet that if you project his numbers out over 40 minutes per game, they come out to be pretty solid. For example, that 9, 5, 2 that he put up last night in 20 minutes, projects to about 18, 10, 4 if he played the close to 40 minutes that he'll be playing in a couple of seasons.

I think Retro had to work and Outlaw said Lakersboy was going to be working more too. Shaqdaddy is the British fan and the game is on a weird hours there.

I'm with you.

I wish someone could tell me what his potential is cause I just don't see it.

Everyone keeps saying he needs time to develop. Well, the good ones don't need time and that is what you should be drafting at #2. Not some project that may or may not develop.

I've seen my Rams make that same mistake twice now. #2 overall picks on two project LT's that had "potential". We got Jason Smith (bust) and Jason Smith 2.0 (Greg Robinson).

Russell can't shoot, he can't defend and he's averaging barely over 2 assists per game. It's pathetic.

The Lakers hadn't drafted that high since they took Worthy in '82. They needed a sure-fire guy, not some project and that's what they took.

I just don't get it.
