But I guess that's the result of a cookie or something where it specifies my location. But since there is an actual SF Examiner, I became confused. Last night I thought it was amusing when PJ had the lineup of Pau-Bynum-Odom-Ariza-Fisher in there. On defense, Pau, Bynum and Odom were virtually running into each other in the lane. Yet the Bobcats tried to drive still. I didn't see them take an outside shot then despite the fact that they'd probably have been open. Im guessing we dont see much of that once the season starts. 21- Oh, okay.

Plus I like Karl's size as a shooter and a ball handler. He's not a PG, but much like Sasha, I think he can be a ball handler and provides the shooting that we would want to space the floor if he ever sees the court for meaningful minutes. The play that I liked from him yesterday was when he ran that curl into the lane off of a down screen, head and shoulder faked off his dribble, and then up and undered a little leaner for a savvy bucket. As for Sun, I at least like the fact that he's shooting when he's supposed to and not shying away from the open shot. For a guy that isn't known as a shooter, he is more confident than I thought at letting it fly within the flow of the offense. Although, I'd like to see a few more of those go in. He is definitely nowhere close to contributing, but, it's a modest investment and it could pay off down the road. I also understand that there was not much more for him to learn in the environment that he was in, so even a stint in the D-league would be an upgrade in level of play. I'm still cautiously optimistic that he can be some sort of contributor sometime down the line. I didn’t get to see much of Crawford, but Karl has looked okay in the limited minutes that I’ve seen.

Marketing defintley was a factor, but I would also say Phil just likes that Karl knows the offense. I would’ve kept Crawford over Karl and Sun.

Did the Lakers go out and party the night before? Not much hustle, passing into double teams, and just bad decisions with the ball. Their defense was good, but I think Charlotte tended to settle for jump shots. I do not envy the work that Brown has ahead of him. Most of the members have already hit last night’s game on the nose:

The game was really sloppy (I guess thats expected in the preseason though), but The lakers are showing signs that they are going to be very good, possibly very very good. Farmar looks great, very confident, he might be challenging Fisher for most of the minutes at PG by the middle of the season. Odom played well in the second half, but didn't look like he was even there in the first half.
