Whoops just saw this post on the front page. Didn’t realize Kurt had posted this, I found his new blog through TrueHoop today.

Definitely a potential HOF lineup of bloggers. I’m waiting for the Ziller guest appearance.

@Jenks,

No one would think that. I’d rather trade Kobe. (That was a joke also.)

#29. Jenks21,
Did you read what Kurt wrote at the top of the following paragraph? He was joking. Relax. No one in their right mind is going to say that Kobe should come off the bench. Yet. Ha.

I can only comment on the ridiculous comment to make Kobe the six man. I agree that he is playing too many minutes but he is also out there playing ALL NBA DEFENSE. The greatest players in the history of the game would also be great six man candidates if you had your way (Jordan, Wilt, Bird, Magic, Wade and Lebron). Superman will be back on the court tonight wearing #24 in a starting role, sit back and enjoy history being made. Hey Phil Jackson lower Kobe’s minutes to 33/34 a game and allow the bench to get better!

>the system

you want to see a team playing the triangle well at this particular juncture? the ‘wolves, winners of four(4) straight. consider their win over Memphis on the weekend; Gomes scores 20 in the 1st half, Brewer gets 15 in the 3rd Q and Jefferson 16 in the 4th (plus Sessions got 19 and Love 12 for the game). This is the epitome of getting the ball where things are working.

It’s the wolves, so it may be an aberration, but, OTOH, they could be learning to play the tri, finally.

16,

I have 2 issues with this.

1. Of the 12 players you mention, only 3 are primarily shooters, whose main purpose is to spread the floor and hit open 3s. All the others have a large roll in the offense when they’re on the floor.

2. Our personnel is essentialy what it was last year when we won the championship. In fact, the only real difference is the Artest/Ariza swap, and Ron is shooting the ball pretty well from 3 point land.

If you feel 3 point shooting is the problem, you need only look at Kobe. He shoots almost twice as many 3s as anyone else on the team, besides for Artest. But, he is shooting at a much worse rate then he was last season. I think we can safely blame this on his mangled finger, but he continues to jack up the 3s despite his lower effeciency. If Kobe would be shooting at least his career avg. from 3, I don’t think this is a real issue.

To me the main difference between last year to this year, and many have been on this lately, is the ball movement. The stats show the Lakers averaging nearly 2 fewer assists per game this season. That can be attributed to more missed shots, but the missed shots can come from lack of good looks which usualy is the result of good ball movement.

Bynum out. Kobe out and getting an MRI. Sounds serious for Kobe and precautionary for Bynum.

Now, where did I put that panic button again?
