Feels good to be making this thread. I don't have the basketball time/energy that I used to, so I'm not gonna do a crazy long write up or anything. But I do expect either Baron Davis or Rashard Lewis to be Lakers at the beginning of the year, and I expect us to run the offense through the post a lot more than we have in years past. If we don't get Baron, I think Blake will start over Fish, who should have been put out to pasture long ago. Go Lakers!

Ahh okay didnt know that, well i hope at some point he gets some minutes i don't understand why he doesnt at least give hime 5 to 10 minutes in the game. Goudlocke has some talent.

Round 3:

I'm starting to hate the Lakers a little more since Fisher left.

Thank you Steve (call me Alex ) Blake.

Blake has now replaced Walton as my least favorite player on the team. Im also not very fond of Sessions, I still think we need to upgrade the PG position.

I think the team just plays less aggressive when Kobe is on the court as if they don't want to eff up. That's where a guy like Fisher is missed. It just seems like they play looser without Kobe on the court.

Take Artest. His career stats don't show he's a top level player but he's a guy who needs to be the focus on offense and only then he can give you top offensive player type numbers. Make him 2nd or 3rd and he really declines.

Barnes: dude is all about freestyle and letting loose but it seems that he values shots more when Kobe plays.

I think Kobe needs to find a common ground and get his teammates involved more not so much to the point where he just sits back and doesn't get involved in the scoring but somewhere where the offensive play is a little looser. That's the personality of guys like Barnes, Artest, and Bynum. They like that freestyle kind of play but somewhat organized but not so much thinking.

Meh, who knows.

It's like the Lakers aren't even trying on defense. They're just letting the spurs do anything they want.

Yeah, we're incredibly inconsistent with our effort. It's so frustrating. That said, Popovich is shredding Mike Brown tonight. We have no idea how to defend their 1/5 pick & roll. I'm curious to see how the Spurs do in the playoffs, because while they look incredible right now, they're kind of a one trick pony on offense. I think that contributed to their early exit from the playoffs last year, because they have a much harder time doing what they do against a team that's only concentrating on them. They sure our kicking our asses right now though.

We go Sessions + scrubs around the 7 minute mark of the 4th, and Goudelock still can't get on the court.
