Yes CL67. I like the aggressiveness and everyone looks on the same page. This is without Gasol and Kobe. Like I said, I like what I see so far. Second half time.
Ugly 3rd quarter
Then turnip might bump the Lakers all the way up to an 11 seed!!
I agree LA Lakerboy and that is a feat in and of itself. This team looked pretty good tonight!
Yes, CL67. After an ugly third quarter where we went 1-17, the Lakers came back to pull within three at quarter 4 and then they played some great team ball and everybody was playing hard even guys like Marcus Landry and the old guy Dan Gadzuric who had some nice defense and drew some nice fouls. The Lakers took the lead with 6:34 to go in the fourth and never relinquished it.
The guys of the night? Jordon Farmar and Xavier Henry who had 27 points on 9/15 shooting and had that 3/4 three right before the half. Farmar played some great defense and had some nice shots go down. I think Blake and Meeks should be history. You can see the difference when Henry and Farmar are in the backcourt compared to Blake and Meeks. Nick Young played well and Williams played well too. Wesley Johnson had an off night. Sacre played well and I like the attacking the basket mode that was so not here all of last year. Man that was fun to watch.
We are 1-0 and hopefully this will continue tomorrow night.We did have some lapses in defense that allowed Golden State to have 27 fast break points to our 7. We need to shore that up but for a first preseason game that was a little sloopy, I like what I saw.
If you had a dangerous weapon as deadly as greg oden, you would be talking smack too
Looking forward to tonight's game!! I'm anxious to see Pau and Nash!!
with the Chiefs possibly blowing it today i could use some Lakers basketball...
The Chiefs got it. Close one. 5-0. You must be happy so far.
heh, only giddy...
Gonna be tough to win that division though with how Denver is playing.
Didn't mean to be a downer CL! Dallas up so far!
