Hello all, wow, it's been almost two years since I've posted, but I have been reading!! Great job AK/BK. This is for those that want to watch the game online just click on this url or copy and paste it and there ya go! Unforunately, it's the Grizzlies announcers but hey, atleast we get to watch.

LET'S GO LAKERS!!

"Los lakers deben batir el crap fuera de este equipo."

GO Lakes!!!!!!!!!!

Go Lakers!

Andrew Bynum is not playing well defensively.

Milicic is not this good. Come on Drew!

Tushar 24/7!

Thanks maaaannn!!!!

Mike Miller is always game when Kobe guards him.

Come on Kobe...play smart.

Where's the defense?

The offense is going...where's the freakin defense?

We look ok , need a few stops , should be up by 10 by now
Go Lakers !!!

i like this new full court press the lakers have employed.

LO game today baby!

Gay got 0 points and 2 TOs. good job, Luke!

Andrew Bynum is not playing well defensively.

Milicic is not this good. Come on Drew!

Relax, Milicic scored two of his baskets when Andrew went to help on someone else.

There's no way Grizz gonna stop Bryant FIsh & Co ...

Offense scored 30+.

Defense held them to 20+ but it still isn't the D I want us playing.

not a bad start to the first qtr. hopefully the bench can do a better job tonight. fisher's needs his legs for manana.

Great start Lakers! Here's hoping we're up by 40 at halftime and can rest all our starters the whole second half.

Gotta give Luke some credit against Gay...

On track for another 160 point game... ok, I'd settle for another 120 pointer
and the bench playing the entire 4th.

C'mon Lakers! Beat them down!

Lakers closed the quarter with some nice defense and some nice shooting by Fish, Kobe and LO. Lakers are really tough to defend when their sharing the ball. Twice the Griz try to lob it to Gasol only to have Andrew step in and cause two turnovers.

Tushar 24/7, you are the man! D-Fish is showing some form!

Farmar showing the UPSS!!

I guess Sasha's still not 100%... J-Crit gets another early entry.

Ariza. gotta love those instincts.

Nemaia,

it's not so much the makes...though that's nice thanks, but how easy it is. He's a step slow in everything from rotations to guarding his own man making it easy for them. The only reason we have the lead (though we started to pick it up with TA on the floor) is coz they're worst than us in defense.

Trevor Ariza is playing like a Stud. Again I repeat...well I won't.

Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!

Kobe's the BEST!

Take it easy Critter. run the offense unless it's a clear lay up.

Lakers are playing some tough defense tonight.

We're playing great D and rebounding great. That last call on LO was bogus...foul on Gay!

The Grizzlies are discombobulated offensively. This is what I'd like to see from the Lakers D on a night to night basis.

Thanks Faith. I'll keep watching. Go Lakers!!!

Faith 23 points in a quarter is a good defensive quarter for the Lakers. Over a whole game that's just 92 points.

You're tough woman to please! lol

YOU GOT TO LOVE FISH'S SHOOTING ----- 5 ON 5...

Want to know how bad they are on D?

They left Fish wide open...he hasn't missed like ever!

Los Lakers le están dando una paliza a este equipo!
"The Lakers are beating the crap out of this team!"

Vamos Lakers!
Go Lakers!

Great team defense... I love it

lol Xodus. It's not my fault they suck offensively. I'm picking on tendencies lol.

I don't want us to get behind dribble penetration, because tomorrow it's going to be a different story.

Question for y'all, since there are a lot of Laker fans in the building.

When Kobe got that steal off Miller and passed off to Walton, were people chanting "Loooooke?" Or was that actually "boo?" I honestly couldn't tell.

AK

What's up with Kobe's free throws tonight?

Bynum late on that rotation. Too far away from a jumpshooter. You know he's going to shoot it.

Faith,

We're not that bad on D, part of the reason why we give up so many points is because we play at such a fast pace. Of course we're not as good as Boston, SA or Detroit on the defensive side of the ball but we're pretty good.

I do agree that we're better defensively with Ariza and a little better overall with him, though. I just don't want you to be so upset. :) lol

Since Fish's mom is so cute, and she's a Laker fan. I believe she got them to chant "Lukeeeee" lol.

They need to go a little more inside to the post. Go Lakers!!!

Faith,

I agree. I'm still having nightmares about Chris Paul's Brokeback offense lol. The Grizz aren't bad offensively though, they're averaging 100 points a night.

See that? All the way to the hole. Damnit.

Dribble penetration by Paul plus Peja equals brokeback lol.

Something none of us want to see or hear lol.

We're not doing a good job on dribble penetration tonight either, not at all.

Faith/Xodus,

Aside from the reason you (X) just cited (upped pace), the other reason the Lakers give up more points is the turnovers. I haven't been able to track down the exact stat (if it's even kept), but I'm willing to bet the Lakers are in the top-10 for points allowed in transition. If they cut that habit down, the numbers would be more indicative of the D otherwise being played, which has improved quite a bit.

AK

Nice finish to the half, fellas.
