Hardwood Paroxym (sp?) Has two great tweets tonight.

To the effect, "I've given Kobe a ton of grief for all the shooting, but then I realize THE MAN TRIED TO PULL UP HIS TORN ACHILLES TENDON."

Really cool compliment when you think about it.
 
Kobe, 20/5/5?

Randle + Kobe: severely underrated, about to beast?

Bench about to be top 5 in the league?

Those of you making these predictions, what are you going off of to say these things?

I want to see what you see. I do. I've seen nothing from Kobe that suggests 20/5/5. I'm not saying I've seen him hoop lately and he's been horrible, because I haven't seen that. But I haven't seen greatness, either. And considering the age, coming off 2 surgeries, what is in your field of vision that causes you guys to see 20/5/5 from Kobe, beastmode from Kobe + Randle, and a top 5 bench?

And I'm not here to argue; just genuinely curious.

And if your response is simply "I just FEEL it," I can dig it.

i can feel it in my nuggets

 
Three major components of Lakers' first practice w/ Byron Scott, according to Steve Nash: defense, conditioning and more court time than b4

Kobe: "That's probably the most running I've done in an NBA practice...Actually it is."

Hopefully for the old guys' sake, he manages these practices better than you-know-who

manup where you been?

I think the difference between Brown & Scott...

Is that Brown was a micro-manager... So they'd be 3 hours doing minute things that had no consequence on the game, you could either do it or you can't.


From Byron's perspective seems like the long practices are more wide ranging, having to do with keeping conditioning 4 quarters. Trying to improve the weak point of the team.

while the intentions and expected results of the two different coaching styles are different, its still constant stress on the joints of our older players which could lead to injury during the season. 

overall i expect us to get around 35 wins, assuming kobe plays more than 50 games. unless we pull a cavs, we're not going to get a top 5 pick so what im looking forward to seeing this season is finally having a coach who is on the same page as the front office and players, our two rookies getting lots of playing time, seeing if some of the new guys can step up and possibly be serviceable in the future, and of course savoring the last few years we have left of kobe

with all that being said, what are the current issues that i need to take a side on?

None.

Everyone is on the same page, via different means.

Some want the team to make a go of it this year, and will enjoy rooting for LA to do just that.

Others will hope that the team plays hard, but ultimately succumbs to it's shortcomings and we save our 2015 Top 5 protected pick, as well as our 2017 first round pick.


Both sides know who is who, and will carry on harmoniously thru the year. No need for anyone to get at anyone this year, as last year was a learning experience for everyone.

So just enjoy another season of NBA/Laker ball, and relax. :smokin
