If you're a fan of the Uptemo-"Farmaresque"-Bench Mob style game, you'll have to account for few more TO's. That said, so many of the TO's can be avoided and yes DO NEED TO STOP right now (see Cookie's lazy entry pass to Kwame  ) |

I'll never look at Sasha the same again.....
But it is always funny to see him always bump into Stu on live TV during pregame warmups!!!! You can see the steam rising from Stu's ears last night. 
Also on that note, you see how winning is the best balm for what ails the Lakers (see any Kobe LA TIMES/tabloid trade rumors). Vlad Rad was seen playfully interupting a live interview during Luke or Andrew's post game interview  (I can't remember which interviewee it was). I'd love to see the guy's camraderie after taking two for three on this weeks road trip.....  |

AMEN TO THAT!!!! Is it just me or does Norm look like he's smokin' that s#!t from a coke can with JR Rider before the broadcast!?!?! 
Anybody know why FOX dropped Jack Haley???  "Good Riddens" to "Coach" Westphal cause he sucked eggs, but BOY do I Miss Haley's Comment!!!!! |

I'm currently in Spain and have little to no chance of watching Laker games and ESPN replays and box scores only go so far. As a result, I look forward to reading your posts after every game. Thanks a ton and please, keep up the good work!  |
Bienvenidos a LG Vadorojo! |

Ty Thomas reminds me of a spry Shawn Marion...... without the butt ugly shooting form! Did you see how high he got when he almost flushed on the Big Baby Bynum?!?!  |

Keeping the rotations and lineups the same provides the following:
Keeps the 2nd team intact while continuing the chemistry that is starting to be develop while maintaining their role to immediate change the tempo. I don't think that they have the stamina/conditioning to continue their tempo throughout the game.
Keeping the same starting lineup takes the pressure off of Farmar (starting is way different than coming off the bench while keeping him frest throughout the season), keep Bynum motivated while keeping his minutes between 20 -25 (the right amount for him to keep him hungry and fresh), allow Mihm/Brown in roles that they are the most successful (i.e. Kwame is not good coming off the bench, Mihm - because he is still recoving - would be better starting rather than coming off the bench cold and staying with rotations/linups that have been successful. Why change things when we are winning. btw: It is way different to have one's 2nd team going against the opposting team regulars. |
