COMING HONOREES MONDAY (Piig Miller – His Birthday)
COMING HONOREES TUESDAY (PsychedLakerGirl)

There is nonsense and common sense. There are fools and d@mn fools.
Well you would have to be a d@mn fool not to pay attention when today’s honoree
post his common sense opinions. Some people aren’t impressed with an answer
unless it has a lot of graphs, efficiency analysis & spread sheets, but sometimes
simple common sense is all that is needed to come up with a solution. Do you
realize that some fool had an efficiency chart that showed that Smush Parker was
more efficient than Kobe Bryant! Our honoree today Twoody is an advocate of not
overanalyzing a problem but just using your God given common sense to come up
with a solution. And believe it or not more times than not his common sense answer
to a problem will beat The Big Media guys with their graphs & efficiency projections
and all the other nonsense. Twoody is not on the Blog every day and when he does
post its not a long manifesto but short and to the point. These little pearls of wisdom
as I call them should be treasured when they are posted, because as I said he does
not post that often, but when he does is usually right. Twoody is a man of dignity
& integrity who I would be proud to go to the mat for any time. He is one of as I
call them elders of the Blog. Elders are the those who paved the way for the
fabulous Blog we have today. They did the work so we could blog on cruise control.
To quote an old commercial, they gained their reputation the old fashion way,
THEY EARNED IT! Thank you Twoody, RDlee Weaveman Edwin JJ, LakerTom,
Fatty, CBuck and all the other elders for your efforts At times I know it may appear as
if us young –uns don’t appreciate your efforts but believe me we do. TWoody I
apologize, you should have been among the first honored but as they say you save the
best for last and you sir are certainly among the best. The day you began posting this
blog became a little bit more classy and for that among your myriad of attributes we
honor you this Friday April 11 2008. The Blog and the world are just ever more
classy for your being and we thank you. Enjoy your day sir.

Good morning bloggers,

Today is THE day!! Go Lakers.

Wow, AK/BK, you guys are early today, it's usually not up till past noon. Thanks!!

moko

Well, if I were an MVP candidate, tonight would be my night. I'm at home, on the big ESPN jumbotron.

I'd know that those Luke Walton 3s probably won't be falling tonight so I would tune up my shot which has been flat of late.

I'd play ferocious D. I'd flash my winning smile at the refs. I'd be everywhere the ball is.

I'd know that it's not about me scoring 50, it's about winning the game with a harmonious balance of team play promoted by me, hopefully on camera so the idiots that vote will finally give me the damn trophy.

GO Lakers

AK/BK,

Here is my question, do we have to submit 12 names of players that Lakers have to play during the playoffs or we can pick up anytime from the pool of 15?

I asked that question because Bynum/Ariza are still in the injured list but could join later. Mbenga/Newble can contribute on D for short minutes so a pool of 15 will be a great advantage for the Lakers.

If there is anything that Lakers lost in the deal with Pau was the opportunity of seeing Critt and Marc in the future. At the end of the day, I will still take Pau from the gamble. If Pau did not join the Lakers, maybe we're out of the playoffs. Next season, we have two promising PG's Coby Karl and Sun Yue. I hope PJ will give them a break. Look at Al Thornton of the Clips, if he were with the Lakers, he will just play sparingly. In the last few games of the Clips, he has been the regular go-to-guy.

Next year, watch the Grizzlies and Blazers, they have been growing by leaps and bounds with these best draft picks, a good strategist Coach will make them a real threat like the Hornets who were not even a playoff contender last year. Lakers will also be there but we need a lot of tweaking to improve our D, we are too soft in the perimeter and also in the post.

The way the clips have played over their history -- I can't refer to them as the "red, white and blue" -- I prefer bleu, blanc, rouge -- http://tinyurl.com/5ztvdx

----------------------

Kobe jumping over the AM in that shoe add reminds me of the crazy dude who jumped over the Testarossa on "That's Incredible" -- and that was real!

How does Kobe win MVP regardless of record?

#1 - Lakers beat Hornets tonite
#2 - Kobe has 25, 7, and 7 in victory
#3 - Kobe guards CP3 down the stretch and causes turnovers + tough shots
#4 - Lakers finish at least #2 seed in West

Here's what true hoop says about #3
"It's not practical for a top offensive threat like Bryant to wear himself with injuries and fouls doing that for 82 regular-season NBA games. But it sure would be fun to watch Bryant assign himself to Paul down the stretch tonight. If that happens, and it leads to a Laker win, voters would have a lot to think about."

Hope Gasol's foot problems withstand the back-to-back.

Good Morning Laker Nation.
I have a few thoughts regarding last night's TNT broadcast...TNT friggin sucks! They cut to the Dallas Game for a good 10 minutes prior to covering the Lakers/Clips, with Ernie saying, 'The Lakers and Clippers haven't started yet.' which was not true as when they finally tuned in, it was midway through the 1st Quarter. Also, Charles Barkley is a very stuoid man. During the last Laker game on TNT (versus Utah) he was criticizing Derek Fisher for leaving Utah for LA and he couldn't understand why he couldn't have signed with Toronto or Milwaukee. Well, if Sir Charles had even bothered doing any kind of journalistic research he would have found out, quite quickly, that there were two, count 'em on one hand, two cities that could provide the specific care that Tatum needs for her eyes: New York and Los Angeles. Seeing as we brought Fish into the league and he won 3 championships more than Barkely EVER won here is it really any surprise which team Fisher chose? I might add that it was up to the management of the Utah Jazz to release Fisher. It was their decision. Charles, put down the hoagie and pick up a newspaper, it's all been printed and if you know how to log onto the internet maybe you could find it posted here at the fabulous Laker Blog...but maybe your hands are too soft and pudgy to work a mouse.

In regards to the game...that seemed like a return to the type of ball we were playing when we first got Gasol, solid throughout, very few un-forced TO's, nice free throw shooting and not settling for quick 3's. We worked it into the post in a number of different ways and as a result, our free flowing offence was hitting on most cylinders. Pau was solid (although he was the source of a few forced passes in the paint-something a defensive team like the Spurs or Pistons will quickly turn into transistion buckets), Kobe didn't try to do it all, Lamar lived at the stripe (as an aggressive power forward should) and the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens looked more like Vladimir Radmonavich when he helped the Clips make their bi-centennial trip to the playoffs. The best thing about this game, other than the starting 5 getting a big break in the 4th, was to see Fisher playing aggressively, but in control and hitting some distance shots, although he has had some trouble finishing around the hoop lately.
The Bench Mob
Luke Walton - Looks like he could become the second units main post presence. That would be nice because he is a deft passer and has a few different post-up moves that are difficult to counter, although Thorton did swat a little turnaround. But if Luke is willing to be the back to the basket player for the 2nd unit taht'll open it up a lot more for the guards.
Ronny Turiaf - He looks tired or his hips are bothering him. he just doesn't seem as active around the basket as he was up to about a month ago. He's not a back to the basket type of big, more of a spot up shooter, but he still helps anchor our defence, although he has returned to hacking guys when they shoot and not making smart plays on the ball.
DJ Mbenga - I love that he's looking to shoot and is playing with fire, but you don't need to shoot Von Wafer style as in every time the leather hits you in the hands. I don't think he passed the ball while he was in there once. But I like his attitude and he really gives the team a worldly look.
Chris Mihm - I've said it since he went down 2 years ago, if he can comeback close to anywhere like he was playing prior to the mangled ankles segment of his career, he could be a huge X-Factor in the playoffs.
Sasha Vujacic - Playing within himself for the most part, worries more about his hair than any NBA player I've ever seen (aside from AI) and is deadly on Offence and tenacious on Defence. Sometimes his forays into the paint are quite interesting to behold, but that's something to work on over the summer. That and a post game because you 6'6" machine!
Jordan Farmar - Although his early season razzle-dazzle has been replaced with a quiet effeciency, I like this version better right now. He went through a jack-it-up-cause-I'm-open phase after the All Star break, but he's back to anchoring the Bench Mob. But he needs to step it up on defence. That's a summer project for the 2nd year man. Learn to anticipate the charge, force guys to the outside instead of channeling them into our lackadaisical post defence. He goes for the steal and then guys like Jarret jack cut to the hoop and lay it in. He's better than that, but he's got to get better at moving those feet.

Long post, but we're looking at the playoffs and I wanted to get that out of my system. Great game last night, lets close out the season on a big 4 game winning streak.

GO LAKERS!!!!!

great news about trevor.
i've always thought that his offense was overlooked. This guy is not afraid to take the ball to the hole, and doesn't treat the ball like a hot potato just because Kobe is on the floor. Earlier this year I saw him run the "UCLA" pick and roll with Bynum on consecutive plays. That was cool. He's got defense, but his steely demeanor overlaps into his offensive game as well. great addition to a great team.

GAME DAY!!!!

GO LAKERS

One Two Punch. Mamba24, you are always #1!

Jay Jay

Belated Happy Birthday to your kids!

vman - did you hear somewhere that the game is now on ESPN? I think its on Fox Sports.... do tell your source.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOOORNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING LAKER NATION!!!!!!!

Congrats Twoody, a well deserved honor.Thanks for the slices of common sense.

It's a back to back night, which is no fun if your with a girl, but works for the basketball community. I think we looked pretty good last night. I mean it was the Clippers, but they made it look like they knew what they were doing...sorta. Whats with the Luke haters? I think he is coming along great right now and if he keeps this up, I might stop drawing on all of his pictures that I see. Seriously, my computer screen has little mustaches and beards with crazy eyes all over it. Makes it hard to post some times. Anyway Luke looked great and Mbenga did pretty good too. And everybody got http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1rZBxn3Zx8 so all was good last night. We got to rest the starters in the 4th while our bench increased a lead. All around great night. Keep it up guys and keep your eyes on the prize...wow there was like...cheese dripping off that statement wasn't there? OK I have to make up for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nj6G_KK2Ps&feature=related

LakerMan 420

Hey all: Read the last sentence team - sounds to me like something to post on a locker:

John Reid of The Times-Picayune: "Hornets point guard Chris Paul has one final chance to convince MVP voters he is the better pick than Kobe Bryant, LeBron James or Kevin Garnett. Tonight, New Orleans plays the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center, and although Paul and Bryant are unlikely to be guarding each other, they will get most of the attention because both are considered the MVP front-runners. ... 'It's a big game, and the Lakers helped us out a little bit losing at Portland,' Paul said."

Special Ops Research for the game:

The key to the game is going to be keeping Tyson Chandler off of the boards, and stopping Peja from hitting the three. Two tall orders.

Andrew Bynum was quite effective at the first, holding Chandler to 7 and 9 rebounds in the games he played.

Without Bynum and Gasol downed by injury, Chandler 20 scooped up boards.

The good news is, Gasol has historically had good success on the offensive end against Chandler, having outings of 20+ points and 8-10 rebounds.

Bad news is, Chandler has posted 17 and 19 rebound games against Gasol as a Grizzly.

I hope the coaching staff has pointed out the need to keep Chandler off the boards, and make Peja a driver, not a shooter.

Who cares about MVP? All that matters is winning!!!!

We're going to miss Ariza's defense and we're going to miss Bynum's presence.

**NOT SURE IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THIS YET**

**Kobe jumping over an Aston Martin**.

Yes. it's gotta be fake. But it's FREAKIN FUNNY and Kobe acting like all giddy like Ronny Turiaf is hilarious. Oh, and Ronny is in the video too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIWeEFV59d4

First of All Happy Belated Birthday to FAITH!!!

Now on to the playoff race, wow we are looking at the Suns and That would be great to bounce them with Shaq in the first round. Defense has to be a huge concern in the locker room. If Andrew comes back, his conditioning will be horrible and I am afraid he won't be much of a difference maker. Trevor - well his defense has been missed immensely and so has Bynum’s shot blocking but the team just has to grind and do the best with what they have. The big difference will be Coach Phil teaching his team how to switch from panic mode into selfless 4th quarter screens, pick and rolls, and whatever it takes to allow their leader KOBE to dominate and along with that he can use all the new talent he has given his game this year to create and dish to open teammates. I think Michael did most of this on his own, I am just hoping Phil understands the guys have to realize the best player on the floor needs to be open, get open and also get good looks. I hope to God the bench can produce this year in the playoffs. Especially 1-3 quarters.
New Orleans and San Antonio, Damn, now that is about as tough a finish for anyone ever in this league. We win, we show we belong and can go to the Finals. Go Lakers.

Interesting tidbit from Eric Pincus at Hoopsworld (linked by K Bros above under "more news and notes"):

- I also chatted with Jordan Farmar about his appearance on the television program "Sports Science" in which he fed a pass to Jason Kapono - who was able to hit the shot in just .22 seconds. The NBA rule says a player can't catch and shoot in less than .3 seconds but Kapono was able to get it done. Farmar said they should change the rule, they proved it! He also said it Kapono did it on his second shot. The first was over .3 seconds after which they analyzed his release, worked with a coach and then hit it at .22 on the very next try.

mamba24 - in anticipation of an important game tonight, and acknowledging the great team effort from last night, how about dusting off the Support Our Team 1-15 wagon?

WHEW - back on the "55 win" bandwagon.

Thanks, Mamba24 - my hat's off to you sir!

GO LAKERS!

Always a good day after a clip beatdown lol.

Defense was pretty good done too!

Go Lakers!

P.S. 55 win bandwagoneers gets redemption tonight? lol.

Nobody has noticed some of the barbs Phil is sending out in regards to the Medical Staff?? The comment a couple of weeks ago about Vitti trying to get players ready and then yesterday stating our Crack Medical Staff. There is a hint there that this might be getting under his skin a little bit. My question is how could it not.
I am almost afraid to hear the report today. Is it really to much to ask for a positive medical report for a change?

BD
