Kobe 5-6 shooting 10 points..

No panic.. The defensive sets will come along.. That's the main problem so far..

Free throw shooting as well.. But Dwight at 55% which is normal would have been 2.5 more makes...

He normally gets to the line 10 times a game.. The difference between him and what would be amazing is about a free throw and a half a game

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Yall need to to replace Artest with a shooter.

 

[goldmember]

Can't wait when the team start clcking on Defense and Offense ... I can already see the flashes and the possibilities.. my goodness

 

[knightngale]

artest and gasol

 

[zk1mpls]

Free throw shooting is atrocious.

Here comes the hatefest from Shaq and Barkley

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Can we stop passing to MWP please???

I wish he would stop standing at the 3pt line. He'll still get open looks if he was closer to the basket.

That last sequence...nash penetrating and kicking out could really be great if only we had a good catch and shoot player.

This is torture watching Inside the NBA... Such nonsense going on

 

[ag 47]

55% from the field in our first half of basketball in the first game of the season. I ain't even worried.

When we play times with an undersized 3... I wouldn't mind throwing Meeks out there as a starter..

Why did the Lakers even sign Steve Nash?

Dwight still looks hurt, sit this guy.

Princeton Offense

Get out of here.

Devin Ebanks should get more burn.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Devin Ebanks should get more burn.

Looks like hes already in Mike Brown's dog house.

But I do agree, I feel like the offense should be more uptempo than it is right now.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

This is terrible coaching. Having them run that Princeton offense.
Ruining Steve Nash's game

 

[pmatic]

If you missed the halftime show, it was basically "Please fire Mike Brown"

 

[armorrig]

Half time analysis seem spot on.

I don't know how it's gonna work out in the long run, but so far Nash isn't as effective in this offense.

 

[essential1]

Lakers shooting 55/40/42... It's like the game is being watched in an alternate reality..

There has been 4 bad turnovers (out of 7)..
And 4 or 5 FTs that were missed that should have been made.. (Out of 8 misses)

Defense is also still trying to figure it out..

Because Nash doesn't have 6 assists already that's why you're mad..

Kobe's shooting 85% with 10 points.
Dwight 80% 9 points (yes I know terrible FTs)

14 assists on 19 shots.

 

[westcoastsfinest]

We'll be like Miami in 2011. I expect for us to struggle early and pick it up later in the season.

I kinda agree on this, I haven't even felt the steve nash 'effect' yet. But I ain't even worried, there's still 81 games and 24 minutes to go.

A few observations:

The Princeton offense is the wrong offense for this team, it needs to be scrapped immediately.
If Mike Brown doesn't let Steve Nash control the offense, then he has to go. Nash in a Laker Jersey brings a tear to my eye.
Jordan Hill is not a jump shooter.
Metta Artest, you're the 5th option. Why are you forcing shots?
Steve Blake had me screaming for a Chris Duhon appearance.

Other than that, I like what I've seen. Pau to Howard is going to be scary & Kobe is picking his spots & getting easy looks. Just waiting on the chemistry to get there.

 

[armorrig]

Same ol lakers can't get the ball to our center.

This!

Nash made Gortat look like a top center for crying out loud. Are they trying to make our bigs assists leaders instead

 

[2g00d4u]

They need more mixing. Princeton isnt necessarily bad, but Its like pure Princeton O out there. Not taking advantage of Nash and Dwight.

Mike Brown man...:x

Nash should just say F it and call out some PnR. Take initiative .

 

[calypso chanta]

the "princeton offense" sucks balls for the lakers roster.
