Kobe with the Morris shout out. Atta boy D-Mo!

I absolutely love the win. Today has definitely been the start of something good.

when was the last time our bench outscored the other teams' bench?

[hotpocket]

Would you look at that, we have a basketball team.

It had to have been forever ago (LO era). I don't remember it all last season.

Great win. We did what we know and not surprisingly it works.

Sleeping giant has awoken. Was this the same warriors team that beat the clips?

GSW helped playing like crap.

Good game from Pau for the most part, especially on the effort and intensity side, rebounds too, but 6-18? Really? 33% for a 7 footer as talented & skilled as Pau? Still not good enough have to be honest.

37 points from our bench.

[Renegade]

Morris, Meeks, Jamison, Hill, Gasol/Dwight will work. Heck even Morris, Meeks, Ebanks, Jamison, Hill also pretty good.

how long is ebanks out?

I just realized the entire team just made Mike Brown look like a complete fool. Everyone played very well when they weren't worried about where they were supposed to be or who to pass the ball to in this set it just flowed and it was very nice to watch. Everyone knows I am a D-Mo supporter but I am also not going to say he should be the back up 1 but I will say Blake's ass has been put on notice. I will also say I still think we need to keep and develop him. Meek's, J chill and Jamison played very well when they weren't constricted by a lethargic system everyone was moving tonight and it really helped everyones game. This also gave me a little more faith in our bench yes they need to be consistent but if they can give us at least 35 a night we will be very very hard to beat.

GSW played like trash, but the Lakers did what good teams are supposed to do to lesser competition; whoop that ass. And the bench players finally got enough minutes to find a rhythm and contribute.

[villany]

hey look, mike brown really was the problem. even gasol played with intensity

[Majesty]

Thing is our chemistry still looked off and our shooting percentage left oft to be desired.


The only thing that changed tonight was our effort.

We still got every other problem to work on so let's not overblow the win.

great win, and we finally gave effort. But all the previous problems still exist. Hopefully we iron them out.

jamison and meeks just have to make those open looks then the bench would be beasting

how long is ebanks out?

Who cares, we can't depend on Ebanks to stretch the floor out for us as much as Meeks. Nowhere close to the specialist Meeks has been throughout his career.

1. I like Morris' game

2. Those of you who also like him that are saying 'I told you so' or are saying he should be the backup now need to stop. It's one game, for every good performance he's put up in his young career, he's put up three bad ones. Let's see some consistency first.

I'm sold on Morris for one brutally simple reason. Unlike every other recent guard the Lakers have tried, he doesn't look like he's playing in slow motion. He actually kept his man in front of him, without having to give a 10 foot cushion, which is nearly unheard of for the Lakers.

Who says this team can't run!!!!!!!

For varying definitions of 'this team'. I doubt anyone is surprised that if you replace a still-injured Howard with Hill, Nash with Morris, and Ebanks with Meeks... the team gets quicker. That doesn't say much about what they can or cannot do with a completely different lineup, but it was nice to see a little hustle for once.
