No ISO?...There weren't called plays but Henry as well as Meeks were going one on one when they got the ball...But this was more about the Clippers than it was about the Lakers..

after 1 game you got that covered?
My take is Blake Griff is over rated!
But back to the subject, the first 10 games really are "preseason" and the teams getting the timing/chemistry thing down. Pre season is a small sample.
MDA is very good at squeezing his type of players into a good team. Not a great team.
Really, the window they had last year was only if they had a 100% nash heading into the last 20 games of the season. Once they starting getting hurt the window closed. Im not sure PHil Jax could have taken that team far.
And.............if you really think about it, We are not sure Dwight would have stayed, we did not know Kobe was going to blow his heel out and if Phil Jax had this current roster how interested would he have been? While he was offended he was not given the chance to say yes or no, im not sure him rebuilding the current team would have suited his stature.
only he can say.
Anyway if MDA can get this team to .500 plus he will have done a good job.

Yeah, we saw this when D'Antoni was Knicks coach- they'll be plenty of nights when the offense is flowing and scrubs are putting up points (Farmar is this season Duhon) and playing well. But they'll be lucky to get 40 wins.
Blake Griffin hasn't really shown any improvement since he came into the league, I'm not a fan of his. I don't know why he gets a pass on his rebounding and defense when Amar'e used to get blasted for it before the injuries.
Only watched the Bulls/Heat game. Rose looks no worse for wear. I don't know what the +/- is with both Noah and Rose on the floor, but I think its going to take some time for them to get their roles down. Noah was the defacto captain last year and was the heart and soul of that team IMO. Rose should make getting him and Noah on the same page a priority.

On a milk carton now. Cope will get some burn eventually.
Bynum is supposed to play for the Cavs and Oden is warming up prior to the Heat game.

He got minutes in the preseason. Not sure but Solomon Hill and OJ playing ahead of him are not good signs. Maybe Vogel wants to see effort on defense in practice also?

What the F**K?! Didn't think either of those would happen!

Yeah last year Bynum couldn't bowl without hurting himself. This year he is going to play against Bropez on opening night. Hey, must be the money.

Who breaks down first, Bynum or Oden?

I think it has to Oden. Is Bynum's issue arthritis? Something degenerative? I can't remember.

I know, Cope went on a real chuckfest in one that I saw. Not a good way to get minutes.
Brook Lopez put on some muscle boy!
Wade out because of Knee. Wow, that's early. Hope he is o.k. but dang.
Nets are down by 7 at the end of the third. Bennet is looking good in the minute I watched. Hard to handle.
Cleveland with Jarret Jack is giving the nets the business, too many guys FOR BROOKLYN use to have the ball in their sweet spots , but Kidd is not playing they only have 1 ball ROFL
