Still feeling the high?
After all, it ain't often that the Lakers, or any NBA team for that matter, put the smack down in such fashion as last night's 123-109 win over the Jazz. Some garbage time sloppiness from the second unit helped create the appearance of a slightly more competitive outing, but in truth, the Lakers owned this showdown from about the opening tip onward. Crisp ball movement, plus a relentless (and often successful) attack towards the basket kept Utah on their heels all game, allowing the Lakers to quickly fill up the bucket towards a large lead. 75 points in the first half (a season record) often creates such gaps, especially when the defense is allowing fewer looks than a pitch black blindfold. And coming out of the halftime break, instead of letting up, the good guys found necks and stepped on them. Thus, the scrubs got some extended run, allowing Kobe to conduct a triangle tutorial for Andrew Bynum and LO. With any luck, the extra lessons will bear fruit in a future box score.
For the Jazz, the loss was a sad way to see the "Gordan Giricek era" wind down.
With the team now inspiring some to picture a parade, the Laker Nation is starting to pull the pins out of their Mitch Kupchak voodoo dolls and actually throw a little praise his way.
The glee permeating throughout Staples Center wasn't prompted solely because of an opponent's thrashing. Kwame Brown was back in action after rehabbing knee and ankle injuries. Playing through these ailments required a special tape job by Gary Vitti and a knee brace roughly the size of Alaska, but that's a small price to pay for being on the court, especially in a surprisingly productive and fluid fashion.

The argument on this blog between Andrew Bynum and Kwame Brown ( IE Mike T. vs. everyone else), has been mediated. It isn't one or the other. It is in fact both of them. I just hope we really baby Kwame coming back into the rotation so we can sign him for cheap in the off season. The 5 position on the Lakers is set, not Kwame, and not Drew, but both of them in a combination that might be the best 1-2 center combo in the league. I asked a question yesterday about the roster and their ability to win the championship. I am confident that the Lakers are a top 5 team in the league. Wins over the Spurs, Warriors, Pistons, and two wins against; suns, nugs, and jazz, shows this point clearly. We should have beaten the Magic and Nets, and we will beat the Celtics tomorrow. Sky, is the limit and we might even shatter those expectations.

"a special tape job by Gary Vitti and a knee brace roughly the size of Alaska, "
I have this picture in my mind. Its Sunday, we are playing the Celtics. Kwame is trying to run ahead of the Celtic Pack of Garnett, Pierce, and Allen on a fast break.
On the sidelines, Mike T. is standing and yelling to Kwame, "Run Kwame, run!" As Kwame's brace and tape are falling apart off his legs. Kwame leaps from the Free Throw Line, and in slow motion skies through the air, only to dunk and shatter the backboard into a million pieces, whilst Mike T. looks on with admiration, with tears welling up in his eyes.

I expect a good ball game against the Celtics for a number of reasons
1. Im not all that worried about the "others" outside of KG..PP..RA! Rajon Rondo? Pulleeaaassse!! Big Baby?..awww comeon!! Yes they beat the teams they were suppose to beat..but how lucky it must be for there 1st West coast trip against Sac and Seattle..then Utah (all of which have loosing records! LA will dismantle that so called D they have..and they better hope for a blowout win in Utah..so they can rest there starters for the Staple Stampede

1.) spurs
2.) suns
3.) hornets
4.) nuggets
5.) Lakers
6.) mavericks
7.) trailblazers
8.) warriors
so how come the Lakers dont get the 3rd spot?

(With no due respect to Mike T) Obviously the Lakers have a much better chance against boston with Kwame back to clog up the middle. Will we see a front court including both Bynum & Kwame? That will be interesting to behold - how will teams defend against that and can they get plenty stops?

"bobie - top 3 spots go to top team in each division regardless of record."
Actually, a division winner cannot be seeded any lower than 4th. And, the top 3 seeds will be the top 3 teams with the best records in the conference.
Posted by: Jai | December 29, 2007 at 12:06 PM
The way the rankings work, I believe is this, the three best records (so, hornets instead of lakers b/c they are identical but they beat the lakers...) and if all the divisions aren't rep in the first three, the fourth place is for that division....and then it goes in order again. However, home court goes to the best record. So, lakers right now would play denver but they would have home court advantage.
It used to be the first three were the division leaders, which would have made denver third, and punished the Lakers b/c they would have to play a presumably better team. A few years ago there was speculation that teams in fifth place were actually trying to lose on purpose to get into sixth place to match up with the weaker team, so the league wanted to try to prevent that motivation.
Posted by: Elyse | December 29, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Andrew suffered in kwame's return he didnt look as confident knowing someone could come and steal his minutes,,and kwame played fiairly well.iiiiiiiiif he woukd give us anything offensively that would be awesome.Instead when he's on the court it four on five and that could catch up.The reason why the the bench couldnt score in the first is that they dont look for drew which is why he should start.With kwame on the second unit he can do what he most comfortable doing which is defense and rebounding something the subs are in desperate need of,so I hope this isnt fools gold as we all belive this team has always showed flashes,we need to sustain and improve everytime we touch the court and believe we are the better team when we touch the floor no matter who it is!I have a ? With all the losing that lbj and d-wade are doing, why are their faces all on t.v. commercials is the league or sponsers promoting losing basketball and indivduality now?Just right when kobe gets off losing and self. funny isnt it
Posted by: smooth d | December 29, 2007 at 12:12 PM
Laker fans- be careful for what you wish for. Now that the cake throwing Kwame is back look for Bynum's progress to slow down if not totally regress. It wasnt a coincidence Bynum was playing great when Kwame went down and Mihm was on the pine because he was getting big minutes and his confidence was sky high.
Now that Phils pet Kwame is back expect him to play at least 20 mins a game and Bynum to get about 25 to 30 and his production to decrease.
The same can be said for when Luke comes back- whats going to happen to Ariza, who has already showed he is more valuable to the team than Luke will ever be. Luke will be playing 20 to 25 minutes too, he is one of booster boys pets too.
I know its chic to say depth is good but depth can be bad too- there is not enough minutes for everyone to play and be productive.
All is well when the team is winning- look at last year. If the lakers start losing games is when you will see problems like Cook and Smush last rise up because guys want to play. I blame Phil for the bulk of the problems because the coach is supposed to be the leader of the team and his zen hands off style did nothing to help the team get through rough times. He looked like a deer in headlights last year in the second half. I dont care if he has 100 rings that was a terrible coaching job.
And yet the Lakers resign him for 12 million a year when a coach like Skiles is fired. What does that tell you about the two organizations?
And lets not lose sight of the fact Fisher, while he is a nice guy is an inconsistent shooter ( 2-9 yesterday) and slow defensive player. The Lakers cannot win a championship with Fisher as the starting point guard.
I like what Im seeing in the lakers youth movement- Farmar, Bynum Ariza but Phils history shows he will revert to the veterans and that can only hurt the lakers not help them win games.
Posted by: Laker Lover | December 29, 2007 at 12:13 PM
I love Kwame's role as tough enforcer-type backup to Bynum and would love to get him signed to a three year deal for around 18 million.
Then we have almost every need filled while remaining one of the biggest, largest, tallest teams in the NBA. This is our great fortune. We’ve been able to acquire talent without sacrificing team size. I have a feeling this is going be a deciding factor in some important post season games this year.
We don’t need much right now. Ariza is the athletic defender at the 3 we've needed since forever. We could use another shooter and Vlad could and hopefully will regain the outside shot that could make us neigh unbeatable. Kwame looks like he could be the hydra’s other head that along with Bynum just morally disintegrates the opponent’s front line and gives us a center tandem that is bigger and stronger than any other in basketball.
I guess the PF spot still has some question marks around it but the solidification of the center position has made it stronger by default. Another blogger mentioned Lamar grabbing boards on the side of the rim that wasn’t enveloped by Bynum. I saw it too, several times—Lamar squeezing into some nook or cranny to snag a key rebound. Turiaf, Odom, Mihm, Sasha--size, size size…(my God, I’m sounding like….) Farmar’s become the high octane sixth man we’ve needed and we still have the mid levels to sign one veteran superstar each year who wants to play for a championship to a reduced cost contract.
After this year the next couple of years will have a lot of interesting FAs that we’ll be looking at.
Lit it roll!

LakerLover,
"see problems like Cook and Smush last rise up because guys want to play."
LOL! Smush was playing last season, and the backup was a rookie with two years of college ball. Look at the problems Smush has had with Miami since he got there. Cook did not give the Lakers reason to play him more, and has barely played with Orlando, so apparently that wasn't just a fluke. For you to blame Jackson for Cook and Parker's problems while with the Lakers is silly.
If Bynum keeps performing significantly better than Kwame, than he will get significantly more time than Kwame.
"And yet the Lakers resign him for 12 million a year when a coach like Skiles is fired."
That the Lakers still realize that Jackson is one of the top coaches in the game, and that stability in the front office of an organization is a key ingredient to a team being successful.
Posted by: exhelodrvr | December 29, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Smooth D- I agree with you 100 percent its up to the lakers 12 million dollar booster boy to tell Bynum hes the starter no matter what- that they are sticking with him. Thats how you instill confidence in a young player- something 9 rings has to prove to me he can do.
I still say 9 rings isnt the right coach for this laker team. What other coach openly rips his players in the media and expects that to motivate them?
Thats worked really well with Kwame hasnt it?
Posted by: Laker Lover | December 29, 2007 at 12:31 PM
exhelodrvr - everyone on this blog knew Smush was a cancer yet your 12 million dollar coach started him for 2 years. I dont care who the backup was Phil had other options and chose to start Smush. Explain that to me.
As you can see this year the pg doesnt need to be a ball handler, and last season Kobe and Lamar were running the offense so 9 rings could have gone with several other players
Bottom line 9 rings went with the wrong guy for 2 years and the lakers re-signed him for 12 million.
What makes you think Phil is one of the top coaches in the league? His 0-3 record in the last 3 playoff series. Ripping his players in the media. Losing in the 1st round 2 years in a row?
Just curious how Phil is put in such high esteem.
Posted by: Laker Lover | December 29, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Ex- how long did it take Riley and the Heat to get Smush out? less than 1/4 of the season
Now how long did it take your coach with 9 rings to get Smush out? 2 years AND he started Smush
Explain why it took 9 rings 2 YEARS to figure out what Riles did in about 2 months.
Posted by: Laker Lover | December 29, 2007 at 01:02 PM
Laker Lover,
First you call Kwame Phil's pet, then say he rips Kwame in the press and insinuate he's limited Kwam's development. Which is it?
Secondly, you say Fish can't be a championship starting PG. Fish has 3 rings that say otherwise.
No offense, but you're not very good at BBall analysis.
Posted by: J. Walter Weatherman | December 29, 2007 at 01:03 PM
Laker Lover & smooth d,
I would have to disagree with you. These are professionals, or at least supposed to be. They need to be able to perform through scrutiny. They need to have that mental toughness. Kobe has been through it all and STILL performs. Michael performed. The 3 Peat Lakers could play through any drama. The Patriots have performed throughout the Spygate scandal, and true professional shouldn't have to have their coach reassure them constantly. I know Bynum is young, but the Lkaers have made their choice and Bynum has been thrust into a situation where he must grow up and grow up fast. HE has to have it. He looked fine yesterday, but this team is gunning for Championship caliber play NOW. If a player can't deal with that, he's not at that level. Scrutiny turned Tony Parker into the player he has become, and the threat of competiton for his job had brought the best out of Jordan Farmar. This is what Phil needs to see. Mental toughness, and Bynum has to just accept it and respond accordingly. The strong survive. Go ask the Suns or Mavs. Phoenix is still crying about getting 2 players suspended, and the Mavs are still shell shocked from 2005. Or look at a player like Steph. Winners are tough, thick skinned, singularly focused individuals. Bynum has responded to Kobe's "ship his ass out" remarks by making the Laker brass look smart, not by Kobe holding his hand. He is proving his mettle, not being handed it.
Posted by: wondahbap (Wizard of OZ) | December 29, 2007 at 01:17 PM
>>>so how come the Lakers dont get the 3rd spot?
Each division winner has to be in the top 4. That's why the Nuggets, Suns,
and Spurs are in the top 4. Of the remaining teams, the Lakers and Hornets
are tied with the next best record, so it goes to a tie-breaker to decide.
First tie-breaker is head to head. New Orleans beat the Lakers the only time
we played them. Thus New Orleans 3rd and the Lakers 5th.
Posted by: Long Time Laker Fan | December 29, 2007 at 01:35 PM
Holy cr@p!
Sasha has gone down to injury.
Now I'll need to spend the next month stating how much the Lakers NEED
Sasha in addition to that other shooting guard on the roster. Sasha and his
strong wrists for shooting threes.
And I bet Zakee and Mike T will be saying we should trade Sasha. :-)
Actually, Sasha will be missed if he isn't able to play, about as much as
Kwame was missed. The good news is, if Sasha misses a few games,
maybe we'll get to see some big minutes from Javaris Crittendon!
Posted by: Long Time Laker Fan | December 29, 2007 at 01:41 PM
J. Walter Weatherman- That was Fisher of the past when the lakers 3 peated I mean todays Fisher. Do you believe the Lakers as is with Fisher at the starting PG can win a championship?
And its both- Kwame is Phils pet and he has limited his own pets development by ripping him in the media. Obviously you disagree so help me understand what Phil has done to help develop Kwame the last 3 seasons? Has he improved in any area, not the least of which is being able to stay un-injured?
Kwame will play over 20 minutes when 9 rings is the coach of the lakers because he values something about him only Phil can see.
As I said lets see how it plays out- I expect Kwame to play 20 plus minutes and Luke too. If that happens it means less minutes for Ariza and Bynum. Can you see it playing out another way?
Posted by: Laker Lover | December 29, 2007 at 01:53 PM
LakerLover,
First of all, what options did Phil have?
Secondly, ask yourself "Self, if the Heat are paying Parker 2.3 M, and the Lakers only paid him 800K, which team made the bigger mistake?"
Thirdly, think next time before you click on "Post."
Posted by: exhelodrvr | December 29, 2007 at 01:57 PM
Laker Lover,
"As you can see this year the pg doesnt need to be a ball handler,"
Fisher and Farmar aren't ball handlers?
Posted by: exhelodrvr | December 29, 2007 at 01:58 PM
Laker Lover,
PJax took two teams with Smush Parker as a starting PG and Brian Cook logging significant minutes to the playoffs. THAT'S why he is getting $12M. You're looking at it the wrong way.
If you want to look at Phil's last 2 years and ignore the previous 14, then you're just hating and selectively choosing a sample size to fuel your hateration.
The Lakers young bucks getting another year of growth, Bynum getting stronger and the Front Office ignoring Kobe's demands for a trade are just as responsible for this record as Phil's coaching...but if you think Phil is doing a poor job, you're out of your mind.
Posted by: Willie Fatpockets | December 29, 2007 at 02:06 PM
Willie - good points- but dont forget Phil had the best player on the planet and odom too on those teams and Mike Brown and Lebron got a team with much less talent to the NBA finals. Bottom line is can PJ get the most out of young players- he has to prove to me he can do that with this team. I havent seen anything this year that tells me Bynum or Farmars development has anything to do with pj's coaching except for getting away from the antiquated triangle offense and letting the players play.
I still say pj isnt the right coach for this team. Obviously thats not a popular opinion but I stand by it. Id rather have a skiles coaching the lakers.
Posted by: Laker Lover | December 29, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Laker Lover,
Look at Smush's stats this year compared to his previous two seasons. All of his numbers including his PER are down across the board. I'm not saying all of that has to do with Phil, but Phil and his triangle offense had something to do with it.
You're speaking as if Phil had Chris Paul buried on the bench and wasn't playing him.
Posted by: Xodus | December 29, 2007 at 03:11 PM
Laker Lover,
You are such an snartea.. to judge Phil, better keep your mouth shot than spill all your hatred!!! Phil is like a general, he lets team figure out on their own rather then babysit adults playing for $$$. He prefer to lose a battle and instill confidence and responcibility to make sure when time comes they would be able to handle pressure and win the war. Yes he is not jumping every 5 pts lost and calling timeouts, this is why he has 9 rings and trust of his team.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Fortunately The Busses, Kobe, and Mitch all seem to agree that Phil's the right guy to coach this team, and I happen to trust their collective opinion more than yours.

" havent seen anything this year that tells me Bynum or Farmars development has anything to do with pj's coaching "
Of course not. One of them hardly played any ball in high school, and nothing in college. The other only played two years of college. Now one is being mentioned as possibly having an All-Star caliber season, the other is one of the better backup PGs in the league. But it has nothing to do with PJs coaching, the staff he has put together, the offense he runs, the environment he has created.
Of course, in Chicago, PJ had nothing to do with the development of Pippen, Grant, or MJ, did he? Just a coincidence!!

I'm reasonably certain that of the last 3 championships that the Lakers
won, Fisher was the starting pg. The slow defensive player also got
a nice charging foul called on all-star boozer. The inconsistent shooter
also went toe-to-toe with Mr. 2-time MVP/best pg in the NBA Steve
Nash and did remarkably well. 22 pts for Nash vs. 17 for Fish.
D-Fish is the best pg the Lakers could have gotten with the exception
of J-Kidd last year. [ Please note I did not say he was the best in the
league. ] He's good defensively, offensively, a dead-eye free throw
shooter, a tremendous competitor AND has great chemistry with Kobe
and Phil.
D-Fish rocks! With him at the point, we are competetive with any team
in the NBA.
Posted by: hobbitmage | December 29, 2007 at 03:40 PM
Laker 'Lover',
Can you please explain to the rest of us how your name is 'Laker Lover' if you keep bashing PJ and his '9 rings'?
If KOBE, as in OUR ONLY FRANCHISE PLAYER AS OF TODAY, is in his corner what makes you think he's 'not the right coach for this team'? A few months ago who was the one who backed Kobe and tried to mediate the situation between the star and management? Yea... Let's take Rick Carlisle, Scott Skiles, or any other former coach/ESPN Analyst and see him try to work through the situation as Jackson has done so admirably. Skiles couldn't handle a bunch of young players, lead them through the trade talks, and have them perform at a high level.
YOUNG PLAYERS
TRADE TALKS
HIGH LEVEL
What team is that? Sounds like the Lakers as much as it sounds like the Bulls team that could have been.
Second as far as your statement that 'Fisher isn't the PG to lead us to the championship' - Goodness gracious. His leadership and his experience is worth more to Los Angeles than any of your ridiculous posts will ever be. Even if he isn't the PG to lead us to the championship, which I see where you are coming from, he's a hell of a lot better than the Smusher. Championship teams do not necessarily need stars PGs to lead their teams. Their leadership will come from all around, and hopefully from their best player ala Garnett and Kobe (he's done a great job of being a TEAMMATE this year). The Cs come into town tomorrow and they've got a second year player starting at PG and they're doing quite well in case you haven't heard. Leadership does not have to come from the PG slot. The Lakers won the last of their Three-peat titles with Fish starting... Yes you read that right Laker Basher... THEY WON THE TITLE. HE STARTED.
Lastly, as far as Smush starting, for those two years - sure he started and as someone else asked before me, WHO WERE THE OTHER OPTIONS? An injured Aaron Mckie? An imported, undersized Shammond Williams? You make it sound as if Jason Kidd, even the Jordan Farmar OF THIS YEAR, was sitting on the BENCH last year. The Smusher won by default if only because he was younger and than any other PG option and had size.
You notice how basically everyone has called out your name and responded to your posts?
Yea it's not for a great reason either... You've said some ridiculous things.
Like someone said before me - 'THINK before you click POST'.
I'm out like Laker Lover's pride.

Statistics don't always tell the complete story of a player's performance. OK, DFish may have only been 2-9 from the floor, but can anyone say he didn't have a good game? He had 8 assists and strong defense against one of the best point guards in the game. 10 points, 27 mins. zero turnovers. Plus the inspiration for the beatdown came from his shabby treatment in Utah. His teammates had his back. Got to disagree with you on this one buddy.
