Bryant  - Not a great night. He had a few good minutes at the end of the first half to stop a decent run by the TWolves and then, as revgen said, some circus shots in the second half, but overall, a poor showing.
Gasol  - He looked tired and listless... constantly out of position, fouling players and getting nearly every shot blocked. Terrible first half. The worst he's played in a while. Made Darko look like an All-Star. Picked it up a bit in the second half. I was surprised to see his stat sheet. Even though he was stinking it, he still managed to put together some decent numbers with 16 points (on a 6 of 13 series), 14 rebounds and 6 assists.
Odom  - A bit of blah game for Odom on offense. Hardly noticed him out there, but he did a good job to stop Love on defense. He's clearly not playing like he was during the first few games, when he looked like our MVP, but he's doing his thing. Contributing nicely.
Artest  - Reasonably good job on defense. Not much to report on the other end. Played within himself, which is something I really like about the way Artest has been playing lately.
Barnes   - Best ever night for Matt. He was BEASTING! Couldn't miss a darn thing. He's quickly becoming a favorite. Tough defense and offense off the bench. I love our bench this year! |

I hate his tattoos but I like the player! His shot didn't have that ugly hitch last night, I wonder if Hodges or Person have been working with him. |

| revgen wrote: | Artest -  Quiet game offensively. Did a decent job at times on Beasley. Also had some time banging bodies with Kevin Love. But overall, he wasn't killing it like Barnes was doing so he lost some playing time.
Kobe -  Like Pau, awful shooting early in the first half. Picked it later in the 2nd half with some nifty circus layups and a slam dunk set up by Fish.
Pau -  Pau was horrible in the 1st half. Darko was blocking his shots on defense. Scoring at will on offense and to make matters worse, 6'8 rookie Derrick Caracter comes in and actually pushes Darko around like a bully at the schoolyard. Something the supposedly bigger Gasol couldn't seem to bring himself to do. Hopefully we can bring in a big body soon to give Pau a break until Drew comes back.
Lamar - Old school Lamar appeared tonight. Filling in the boxscores with 11 points, 8 boards, 7 assists, and 4 blocks. Also made sure Love didn't pwn him on the glass like he did the last time.
Fish -  Played scrappy defense tonight. Playing the passing lanes, aggressive on the doubles, even poking the ball out of Love's hand a couple times. Also set up Kobe on some nice circus shots and a slam in the 3rd quarter.
Barnes - Wow. Perfect night. Best player on the floor. Couldn't miss a shot on the offensive end. Also brought his usual scrappy play on the other end along with 6 assists go along with the 24 points in only 23 minutes of play. With the way Kobe and Pau were stinking it up, it was nice to see our bench guys step up tonight, especially Barnes.
Shannon -  He and Barnes came off the bench tonight and brought the energy the starters were lacking. Barnes moreso than Shannon, but Shannon had his moments, especially that steal and slam in the 1st quarter that started to shift momentum back our way.
Blake -  - Blake had quiet night, but did a good job behind the scenes of managing the 2nd unit with Barnes and Brown.
Caracter - http://www.clublakers.com/images/smilies/boxing1.gif I like his fiesty attitude out there. Especially when he came in for Pau. Even though he picked up fouls, I thought he helped to send the message to the Wolves that we aren't going to get pushed around. We are the pushers. He used his body to shove Darko out of the way to grab rebounds, put a strong seal on Love to post him up for a hook, and generally just using that body to "inflict some pain" as Phil implied that Pau should be doing in a recent press conference. Pau could learn a thing or two from the way Caracter approaches the game.
Ebanks -  Lone member of the 3 minute garbage man crew to score a bucket. Swished a nice midrange J and then managed to get a block and a deflection on a later possesion.
Sasha -  - Only played garbage time minutes. Ran around awhile
Luke -  - Sasha's garbage man partner. |
Thanks Revgen. |
