Off to Cow Town with a to-do list
Every morning, it's important to accentuate the positive. The Lakers are 17-2, and have opened up a four-game lead over the Blazers and Chauncified Nuggets in the Western Conference. That's a pretty decent margin before hitting the quarter pole on the season. They're winning at a historically good rate measured against the standards of a franchise that wins at a historically good rate. This Trevor Ariza fellow is working out well.
So when the Lakers tip off tonight at Arco, where the Kings no longer win with regularity, against a still-limping Sacramento squad (Kevin Martin? Still out, says the Sacramento Bee.) there will be plenty of reasons to smile. On the other hand, the goal this season for LA is a championship, and with standards set high there's no choice but to mention the other stuff as well. The bench is struggling, the team periodically loses focus, many still question their toughness (an older link, but a good one). When these teams met at Staples on Nov. 23, Beno and the Bobby's (Udrih, Jackson, and Brown) spent so much time in the paint that their postgame shower required turpentine.
And, with Steve Nash and Shaq heading to town for a nationally televised game on Wednesday, there's always the danger of looking ahead. Such are the worries on a very good team operating with the understanding that very good isn't good enough.
In other news:
- From this moment on, Kobe Bryant has all his apples cut for him. You just can't be too careful, as Derrick Rose demonstrates.
- A very strange story about Stephon Marbury, some Europeans, Real Madrid, and a big ol' hoax.
- Amare Stoudemire isn't going anywhere.
- Dwight Howard's agent says Dwight Howard will be in this year's slam dunk contest. Incidentally, Howard, in his fifth season with the Magic, is still the youngest guy on the team.
- The Pistons are still trying to find themselves in a post-Chauncey world.
- They love LeBron's D in Cleveland.
- The Celtics aren't coasting, and neither should you.
- A vote of confidence for Mike Dunleavy!
Moo!

Lets see if the Lakers can keep Beno Udrih from looking like Pistol Pete tonight.
Let's see if Odom looks like he should even suit up tonight.
Let's see if Farmar can have a good game on the road for once.
Will we see Defense tonight or was that just a mirage we saw earlier in the year.
Will we see J. Powell get some minutes tonight if BrainDead doesn't show up.
And will Bynum finally get some burn and close out the end of the 4th quarter or will PJ stick with LO to close?
And if he does go with LO I think this is proof he is senile.

In this context, there's no disrespect, The time has come to put folks in check.
We got 4 quarters for us to correct, The idea the Lakers are soft & get our respect
Zones are inefficient, Boston stop your Bitchin,
crooked refs can’t save you Cause the Lakers on a mission
Coz when we D out, There can be no doubt.
You wouldn't believe how we shut teams out.
Keep shooting till it's a blow out
Don’t let there be no doubt.
Hitting J’s from north, west, east, south.

Oh oh oh un huh oo

We won’t lose control, Dynasty 4 is our goal
We can play fast, people and sho nuff can play slow
When we get ahead, there’s really nothing to it
Please please Celts don’t bring that stupid sH*+.
Step by step, we’re wearing you down.
Inch by inch you’re giving up ground
Mamba hits 81 , that’s not a delusion.
Game Over and done Lake Show is movin'.
Let's get the dynasty started (oh yeah), let's get the Dynasty started this year
Let's get the dynasty started (oh yeah), let's get the Dynasty started in here..
Let's get the dynasty started (oh yeah), let's get the Dynasty started in here

See that skill, Mamba made a steal.
In another quarter we can close the deal
Won’t get behind, no not this time
Sorry Celts looks like the end of the line
The beast hops thru the roof, Dunks over KG & the Truth
This Game is over, no need for further proof
Come then now time to correct it.
We won the title you got to respect it
Chorus:] by Morning Crue
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.

I'd like to see Pau and Drew dominate Brad Miller and Spencer Hawes tonight. We need to establish our frontcourt superiority early in games, esp on the road.
Our frontcourt has the potential to become better than the Vlade, C-Webb, Peja trio of the old Kings. It has to be better in order for us to win the championship.

Maloof Bros are currently in quandary. Las Vegas bubble is about to burst similar to auto manufacturing, their Sacramento Kings do not attract much crowd since the C-Webb & Co. left the cow town. California is also on the red. Watch out Lakers, these guys have nothing to lose, they are there to destroy dreams and make noise. Therefore, it is not a done deal in cow town place where the moos and boos will be noisy as it can be. Our babies get cranky and may go again into wild adventures like the Indiana game. If you lead one pt., take care of that lead all the way to 48th minute.
The game tonight is just equivalent of one game out of the 82, similar to Christmas day's game but our focus has been predestined to C- Day. We need an outlet to pour our frustration of the meltdown on one team but got to handle the rest of the business to get home court advantage.
Mamba24, on the Celtics bandwagon, I love the color green which means life and also A. C. Green, so please bring back the phrase that refers to Ainge's DNA nauseatic feeling.

more randon meanderings.....
let me preface this post with a couple of facts so as not to confuse or incur undeserved wrath etc...
1) I really like our current team and players---I know their individual strengths and weaknesses--it's cool to see a player accentuate his positives and overcome (however temporarily) his weaknesses---these guys (as have all Lakers past always have) seem like my extended family, and in fact I spend more time watching them than anyone outside of my immediate family etc.
2) I don't advocate trading anyone right now--with the exception of Luke and more specifically, his ridiculous and stiffeling contract. (I know I can't spell for sour owl crap)---is stiffeling spelled wrong ?
that being stated, there are a number of players around the league that I wouldn't mind becoming Lakers someday-
this list is not about who we may need, what the team balence would be, team chemistry etc---nor is a list of players that might be attainable anytime soon --it's simply a list of players that I think would look good in Purple and Gold ,as it were, and that I like watching play the greatest game ever invented... in alpha order, not preference...
Lamarcus Aldridge, Brandon Bass, Chris Bosh, Elton Brand, Caron Butler, Javaris Crittenton, Rudy Gay, Devin Harris, Dwight Howard, Andre Iguodala, Joe Johnson, Mike Miller, Paul Milsap, Emeka Okafor, Derrick Rose, Brandon Roy, Michael Redd, John Salmons, Al Thorton, Chris Wilcox
just did the first 20 that came to mind--probably am missing some names no doubt...
anyway if any of these players ever became Lakers I would welcome them as returning prodigal sons to say the least...

"Macheen not happy

Here's some unsoliticited advice: you're not required by law to shoot everytime you catch the ball. Passing the ball to your teammates (but not the other team) will help boost your popularity on the team.

Sac match up will be interesting. Kevin Martin is injured yet again. Their go to guy will be without a doubt Salmons. Hopefully experience against him will make the Lakers better and have momentum in their game against the Suns.
Well Macheen if Farmar only passed to Machine much more Macheen will probably start becoming Macheen again.

>>>And will Bynum finally get some burn and close out the

>>>And if he does go with LO I think this is proof he is senile.
So if the Lakers have a big lead you want PJ to leave Bynum
on the floor for 5 more minutes and add more chances for him to
re-injure his knee. I guess it would help them run up the score,
but I'd prefer 5 point wins and 5 healthy starters all year.
