where is the love for the los angeles lakers?

“While this may not be the most lucrative contract I’ve been offered this offseason, it is the most valuable. I am confident I will continue to lead this team on and off the court. Let the hunt for six begin.”

the lakers about as hot as that song right now but pride is kicking in. Was genuinely worried about motivation to get the third from the non-kobe/fishes on the team, Gasol has climbed some of his personal mountains, Bynum got a taste of being valuable in the playoffs, didnt think Phil gave enough of a shit about another threepeat to even come back, and i wouldna blamed him.

peace out bro!

still think he's underrated, even tho he maybe overrates himself. certain situations he was the only one besides kobes i counted on to throw himself at the defense to make things happen. his love for taking it to to the celtics didnt go unnoticed either, can't find it but he quietly made probably my favorite recent play against them, in boston, last year that swung the game imo. good luck, dont get murdered!

Farmar strikes me as an enthusiastic defender, without being outstanding at defense, an opportunistic scorer, without being outstanding at offense, and a player who often sees the wrinkles to exploit in the transition game. Iow, he hasn't developed the skills of a starter, but is a pretty good role player. We'll see if he can convert to a starter role.

xp thats a better way of putting it; he's still a very straight line player, ok while he has the luxury of speed but he's probably shirked the probing/hesitation etc. that players, esp. players his size usually need in their arsenal to make an impact beyond their first few years (and he has a point, despite himself, in that the triangle, esp. with the players he's played with, can hide a pg and allow one to underdevelop those skills in-game)

Steve Blake is an asset for whatever team he plays for. He is a journeyman, but a consummate professional. He'll never be an all-star, but he'll always be rock solid. Once he's had half a season to play for LAL, he'll be snugged in and making good plays 98% of the time.

yeah that was dope. other than uh losing this trip bodes really with lamar showing consistent aggressiveness and blake seeming to fit in already, i've come to expect even really good players taking about 6 months to look like anything in this system. kobe sit your ass down imo

Fisher Explains Late Burst in Sacramento

Obviously, the stakes were just a bit different between Derek Fisher’s key seven-point scoring streak from Wednesday’s early-season road win in Sacramento and his absolutely critical 11-point scoring stretch in Game 3 of the NBA Finals last June.

But there were similarities worthy of comparison, born out of a combination of the defense overreacting to Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, and Fisher’s confidence/experience/moxy in key situations.

Here’s the play-by-play from last night:

4:09 Fisher grabs a defensive rebound, pushes in transition and draws a foul, converting 1-of-2 free throws to put L.A. up 99-90.
3:35 Fisher drains an open three-pointer, L.A.’s first field goal make since the 7:43 mark, their offense stalled with Sacramento overplaying Gasol and Bryant.
3:17 Fisher strips Carl Landry at the other end and races down to convert an and-1 layup, essentially putting the game out of reach for good at 105-92.

Fisher offered some explanatory thoughts on Wednesday at the team’s practice facility:

I think it’s the recognition of how we’re being defended as well as stepping into those opportunities. From the beginning of the game to the end, if the other team has any smarts they’re going to overplay Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. That’s just the reality of it. From my position and really anybody on our team, you just have to find that balance between playing your game and taking your shots and opportunities but also recognizing who we’re playing against. You play against a team like Sacramento who wants to score in transition, maybe you don’t take some of those shots that you normally take. You play against a team like Portland, who we’re going to play on Sunday, they play really good half court defense so maybe you want to take some good early transition shots. It’s that combination of things that takes place, and last night I was able to get couple that I guess were timely for us.

lakers getting rid of joel meyers, for spero dedes the radio guy :( terrible

stu seemed kind of territorial when joel started so it took a while for his charm to come through but i went from not noticing joel was there to really really liking his style, so easygoing, and stu calmed down and they really have a groove now. wtf. god knows we need calm on lakers telecasts. spero is passable, 'professional', all the humor and personality of a young mike tirico . dnw. and i notice he gets all negative and shook when the lakers are down. i hope he jumps ship to espn or something quick if hes such fucking hot shit. i think i have a problem with young announcers, never heard one worth a shit tbh.

lakers getting rid of joel meyers, for spero dedes the radio guy

yeah, this may look like a weak move, but the playoffs are all about matchups and Kupchak is looking ahead here.

why the spero hate? I kinda like the dude. normally I cant tell what the fuck is going on listening to basketball on the radio and I get that from spero..

always hated joel
