Kobe's probably out tonight. Hopefully Bynum and Gasol continue to grow. Go Lakers!!!!

We're starting to catch our rhythm. Everyone on the starting five is getting shots up and Gasol really looks for Drew on that extra pass.

I don't know about Kobe/Bynum, but Fisher and Bynum are really connecting. Fisher looks for Drew on the pick and roll.

I think the Bynum/Gasol/Odom rotation is going to work out nicely. It's going to give our bigs a decent amount of rest while hopefully keeping injuries to a minimum. Once Odom gets into his groove, we're going to be hard as hell to beat.

And then there's Kobe, of course. This has the potential to be a great, great year.

We gotta get hungry on D, like a dog sitting at the dinner table waiting for scraps.

Isn't Westbrook the guy Jordan didn't get on well with at UCLA? If it is, it should be a good contest this game between the two.

My high school's basketball jerseys were better than the Thunders'...

Farmar and Westbrook are going at each other pretty aggressively. Especially Farmar, it looks like he's taking this matchup personally. Nice. 8-)

Wow....what a luxury to sub Bynum for Gasol

Post #17 » by **TyCobb** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 3:25 am

My goodness... Farmar is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite player. He's too good. Not enough credit goes to picking him in the draft.

No doubt.

Question to Laker fans. Do you think Pau and Drew will both be on the court down the stretch in close games?

I think everyone on the team wants to get it on the "throw a lob to Drew and let's see what happens" play.

Drew's timing is coming back.

Keep on practicing that jumper, Ariza. It's not far off.

The last 3 possessions Seattle has tried to dive to the hoop and score inside. Each time, their shots bounce all over the backboard. There's one reason: Andrew Bynum.
