where is the love for the los angeles lakers?

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

haha i was rly bummmed last night i guess i went into a tailspin at the end i mean spero is alllright but the telecast had a specific vibe i enjoyed and spero is totally not about that vibe from what i've seen. like when chick died it was like "wtf is this?" black cloud for a couple of years, it was just basketball not lakers basketball. life goes on.

pretty sure the time warner deal has much to do with it anyway. maybe sterling and buss will have matching age discrimination suits soon
