  • JLin Fan from Australia

    Have a very clear streaming here if anyone is interested, Click Watch NBA TV. http://nbaliveonline.tv/nba-tv-live-streaming/

  • Been up for over an hour, I think 😀
    Sorry, I got swamped at work

  • JLin Fan from Australia

    @SerenaWinters: Starting line-up for tonight: Kobe, Jeremy Lin, Carlos Boozer, Jordan Hill Wes Johnson

  • Maknusia

    Oh…just excited to see what JL brings tonite! Go Lakers!

  • Maknusia

    Starting or not…I would be happy if Lin bring in his A game and let this bug infect the rest of Lakers to bring their A game to beat GSW

  • Maknusia

    If Nash is resting….I’m kinda interested, if BScott would try out couple of lineup while Lin remains in and get Price/Clarkson to lead the second unit

    Lin -> Boozer
    Lin-> Davis
    LIn ->Sacre

    all above with starting lineups

  • real-dsb

    I’m not seeing a “triangle in the top right window” to pop out the game chat. Can anyone post a screen shot?

  • Maknusia

    Forget the popup-chat…its all wacky now

  • real-dsb

    Oh, it was because I wasn’t logged in to the blog/wordpress site. After logging in, now I see the triangle. (It gets confusing because I thought I was logged in but it was only to Disqus).

  • JLin Fan from Australia

    It’s working just super slow:o((

  • Most people (50%) voted for 15pts/6asts in Game 2.
    With JLin starting it’s entirely possible

    Preseason 2 Warriors
    What will JLin’s stats be for Preseason Game 2 vs. Warriors?
    15pts/6asts – 50% ( 27 votes )
    10pts/6asts – 22% ( 12 votes )
    Other – 17% ( 9 votes )
    5pts/8asts – 7% ( 4 votes )

    James Worthy saying Jeremy will be the key player tonight.

  • real-dsb

    hah. Curry 0-1 against Lin =p

  • real-dsb

    Lin 1-1. Curry 0-1. =)

  • Maknusia

    Defense defense defense

  • real-dsb

    Lin and Kobe trap Curry in the corner for a turnover!

  • Maknusia

    yeah that was good D…but not enough

    Way too many PF (fouls) as well

  • Maknusia

    i would like to see Lin / Kobe / Wes / Randle/ Davis

  • real-dsb

    After 1 quarter, Lin 2-2 with 7 pts, only 1 TO. Curry 0-1 with 2pts, 3 TOs.

  • Lin is perfect 2-2 FGM/FGA w/ 7pts/1ast/1reb/1TO/2PF in the 1st quarter (9 min)

  • real-dsb

    that Curry jumper in Q2 wasn’t on Lin (not back in yet)

    October 9 8:08 pm

    BluBellBluBell 7 points on 2 fg is good 😉

    October 9 8:08 pm

  • real-dsb

    Lin starting Q3. with a quick assist to Hill, sweet jumper

  • real-dsb

    Q3 9min Lin got back very quick on defense after a Kobe turnover. Stopped Curry.

  • real-dsb

    Q3 9m Lin another great defense on Barnes, got rebound and transition for assist to Boozer

  • wu kong
  • real-dsb

    feedback: I don’t find the Live Scoreboard useful. It takes up too much vertical space. If you’re watching the game, the score’s on the TV.

    I’d rather just have Chat and then Disqus right below. Then I can follow both Chat and Disqus since new chats are at the bottom of Chat, and new Disqus are at top of Disqus.

  • real-dsb

    Bogut was not set on that pick. Good call by refs

  • real-dsb

    Lin running circles around Steph for the layup!

  • after being double-teamed by Curry and Lee!

  • real-dsb

    Curry with two quick 3s over Lin. One of them was a lucky rebound.

  • real-dsb

    Lakers announcers talking about Lin’s versatility, can also play the 3.

  • real-dsb

    Q3 1m Lin patented coast to coast

  • End of Q3 14pts/4asts/4rebs/1TO .. but be careful with 5 fouls, Jeremy!

  • Brent Yen

    Lin is done

  • wu kong

    I have this image of sonic in my head…

    https://twitter.com/ajRAFAEL/status/520429983664066560

  • wu kong

    I predicted his box score will be13 pts| 6 ast| 27 mins playing I got pretty close..

  • real-dsb

    Q3: 2-2 fg, 3-4 ft, 7 pts, 3 ast, 3 reb, 0 to, 3 PF
    Q2: bench
    Q1: 2-2 fg, 2-2 ft, 7pts, 1ast, 1reb, 1 to, 2 PF

  • real-dsb

    so in ~40 minutes so far, 15 pts, 14 ast, 2 to, 7 reb. nice!

  • real-dsb

    Lakers announcer said Lin had a solid game, one of the lone bright spots for the Lakers

  • nice! He actually did a lot better considering he only had 4 Field Goals, understandably giving more shots to Kobe.

    I want to see Coach Dave Miller change his mind on Lin averaging 8pts/5asts w/ 2nd team.

  • blubell

    My prediction of 4/6 fg, 1/2 3fg and 4/5 ft is pretty close 😉

    BluBellBluBell chat getting weird today… lol

    October 9 8:45 pm

    realdsbrealdsb I solved the mystery of why my chat was sounding even though I turned sound off. It was because I turned chat off in the popup window, but the original chat was still open in the original window unmuted.

    October 9 8:45 pm

    Brent YenBrent Yen LOL @realdsb just went rouge…

    October 9 8:45 pm

    psalm234psalm234 why would you message yourself? 🙂 like in Private M*ssage

    psalm234psalm234 ok, note to self .. don’t have 6-hr meeting day..

    October 9 8:46 pm

    realdsbrealdsb does using someone’s @handle do anything? like give a special ring? private message? or nothing?

    October 9 8:50 pm

    psalm234psalm234 including some bad words in Chinese with the help of Google Translate

    October 9 8:50 pm

    realdsbrealdsb the downside to posting the chat log on Disqus is that it takes up pages to scroll down

    October 9 8:50 pm

    psalm234psalm234 note to self: brush up on Chinese bad words 2 be a better mod 😀

    October 9 8:50 pm

    realdsbrealdsb i think Lin made Curry look like a fool, so Curry decided to score 12 pts in about 3 mins on Lin

    October 9 9:23 pm

    psalm234psalm234 Kobe should have passed to an open Lin than forced an off-balance jumper

    October 9 9:24 pm

    October 9 9:24 pm

  • Kinprime

    Lin hit the only 3pt for the Lakers tonight.

  • real-dsb

    wow, didn’t realize that. You don’t have to be a “live and die by the 3” team, but you need to be able to hit 3s to win in today’s game.

  • blubell

    14 pts, 4/4 fg, 4R, 4 asts… lots of 4s. lol

  • real-dsb

    4 defensive rebounds LOL

  • Kinprime

    I stopped reading at Clutchfans… Sorry, why would I do voluntarily go there?

  • wu kong

    1 for 11 for team. 9% and no that is nota typo.

  • Brent Yen

    Not really enough for todays game anyway…..unless you can outshoot Curry and Klay

  • IsabeliJane*17

    Anyone who is ripping Jeremy’s defense on Curry seriously needs to see the game.AGAIN.

  • blubell

    Highlights!

  • Brent Yen

    TWCSN is doing that

  • real-dsb

    oops, that was ambiguous, I didn’t mean today’s game against the Warriors. I meant in the style of play in the NBA nowadays.

  • IsabeliJane*17

    Curry scored majority of his points on Clarkson and Price. Unless they’re blind, they might want to see who was guarding Klay.

  • blubell

    I guess we’ll be getting two videos from PFV for this game. Woohoo 🙂

  • Brent Yen

    Kobe thinks Lin can be a great defensive player and he will keep pushing Lin.

  • real-dsb

    well, Lin shut down Curry in the 1st qtr. But after Lin made Curry look silly with his “whirlpool” drive layup, Curry went unconscious and scored a quick 12 pts on Lin. Nobody can stop Curry when he’s hot.

  • Brent Yen

    But one thing is, Curry never get a catch and Shoot when Lin is guarding him. Good thing…just better offense

  • SamC89

    I think he’s completely wrong. Especially because he thinks Lin’s “inconsistency” is because of anything internal.

    Lin’s “inconsistency” is because he plays inconsistent minutes and is subbed out and in at inconsistent times.

    Lin’s handles are decent, not great yet, but definitely not bad. If anything, his biggest weakness is that he over helps on defense. That’s the main thing that infuriates me sometimes.

  • Maknusia

    I dont really care if we loose, obviously win is always sweet 🙂

    BScott needs time to figure out the lineups and matchups. He dont have great shooters for now. NYoung would come in handy in that department. But someone else need to start shooting well as well.

    Will let BScott run his preseason tryouts.

    Main thing that was lacking was D, and some missed open shots.

  • IsabeliJane*17

    At least Kobe acknowledges Jeremy’s defense

  • blubell

    Nice to hear! They seem to be communication a lot on and off the court so I’m sure they will figure out how to play off of each other better. It is only the second game of the preseason. Lot more games left to figure it all out.

    You know I went to get groceries before the game and ‘1’ bag of items that cost ‘444’, Coincidence?

  • Michael

    Yeah kinda hard to win, when your best scoring option only takes 4 shots XD.

  • wu kong
  • Maknusia

    Thanks…but…now…go to bed! nite nite 🙂

  • real-dsb

    wait, is Howard still covering Rockets?

  • Brent Yen

    No, he did not last yr either, he covers football and baseball now I think.

  • blubell

    Sounds like you just woke up.
    You didn’t actually got to the groceries… you were dreaming.

  • real-dsb

    Here’s some fan stats: In the incomplete chat logs that Psalm posted, I estimated about 250 comments (Psalm may have the full logs and more accurate total). The Disqus game thread currently has 75 comments. So adding some for the missing Chat logs, that’s about 400 comments in today’s game thread on JL Portal. JL.net has about 1100 comments so far in today’s game thread (1st and 2nd half). Very impressive activity for JL Portal.

  • Brent Yen

    non sense rocks!!!!

  • Maknusia

    LoL…we are running stats on site now?! 🙂

  • real-dsb

    Actually, I’m going to call it “Analytics” and start charging thousands of dollars for it.

  • blubell

  • Maknusia

    Nowadays, it been renamed as “Business Intelligence”

  • Maknusia

    NOOOO!… dont wanna hear that name again. I stopped eating M&M

  • blubell

    I prefer skittles.

  • webattorney

    Came back from Staples Center. Lin played pretty solid, nothing special; but he might have been their best player, which is really bad for Lakers. I know it’s pre-season, but let me just say I don’t see Lakers making play-off, let alone win more than 40 games. GSW had very easy time scoring against Lakers. Under this system, I don’t see Lin do better than 14/5 season average. I didn’t think Lin was faster than Curry in getting to the basket; in fact, Curry looked faster than Lin to me in moving around the court. IMO, Klay is a better player than Curry, and I thought Curry out-played Lin slightly. Lin looked a little lost at the beginning of the game but he played pretty decently. Most fans just root for Kobe and are not that excited about anyone else. Some were more excited at GSW’s plays. Lakers is a boring team pretty much. Hopefully, Nick and Kelly will help Lakers because they sorely need some help. Clarkson played more in control but he’s not a good shooter; Randall not ready for NBA. Kobe started well but faded.

  • Michael

    If he looked at other players with the same skeptical glasses as he does Lin, he would be surprised to see that a guy who averages 20pts per game, would fluctuate just as much as Lin does. To come to the conclusion that Lins inconsistency is due to his ‘Handles’ is quite amusing.

    My only thought….Brent, you talk to much.

    you are gonna get killed posting this at JLnet

  • blubell

  • Michael

    Thanks again.

  • real-dsb

    ah yes, then I can charge tens of thousands!

  • blubell

    what about here? lol

  • blubell

    definitely Morey. lol

  • blubell

    I will definitely enjoy. night!

  • Maknusia

    hahaha…as long as its a fair POV….it should be fine…not trying to impose once thought as ultimatum against another poster. Everyone is entitle to post their thoughts, maturely.

  • Michael

    What is this mature word you are talking about?

  • k.smith

    No chance they make the playoffs. At the end of the 1st qtr, I thought the lead got out of hand when Lakers sat their starters and GSW starters went up against our bench. Maybe game could have been closer? I doubt it.

    Lin said that he was a little lost at the beginning of the game but got more comfortable in the 3rd qtr. So you’re observation’s right.

    My hatred for Kerr and Curry is strong. Thompson is going to explode this year. Dude is playing with a massive chip on his shoulder after all the KLove trade rumors.

  • blubell

    Don’t ask Brent. He won’t know either.

  • Brent Yen

    Thanks for the observations!

  • Brent Yen

    Bieber and McHale

  • blubell

    Are you Bieber or McHale?

  • Maknusia

    Speed – agreed, Curry seems to be faster. But Jeremy looks way better in terms of speed compared to first game. And he is running with new team mates….its gonna take time for any player to get used to new teammates

    game wins – Lakers still lacks some skillsets and depth so getting into playoffs is really difficult but not impossible if the team truly buys into total defense that BScott been preaching

    As for the Lin’s number, JL has the freedom to rack which ever way he wants, either on defense, offense or playmaking. Without good teammates he cant shine in all the departments. Something gotta give.

    Just my POV

  • Maknusia

    Ask Michael!

  • Maknusia

    no!… Khuang and etane

  • Maknusia

    haha, still too much sugar for me. I prefer dark chocolate

  • real-dsb

    Chat vs Disqus for in-game threads:

    Chat
    – linear (non-threaded)
    – don’t have to click anything to see latest
    – a little laggy
    – can be logged, but will slow down performance even more

    Disqus

    – can be threaded. Better for discussions, not good for fast chats
    – need to click to see new comments
    – not really faster than Chat? It may seem faster because it shows up on your screen right away, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it shows up on others’ screens.
    – easy to archive

  • blubell

    True. I do love dark chocolate but no more than 75% and preferably with hazelnut or almond.

  • Michael

    I eat smarties, to feel smart.

  • IsabeliJane*17

    Good observations and I just have to say I’m jealous of you.

    No offense though on the “I don’t see Lakers making play-off, let alone win more than 40 games” part, unless you did a “Back to the Future” kind of thing haha

  • blubell

    I eat tootsie roll so I can dance.

  • Michael

    I used to dislike chocolate, because my mom would only buy this weird stuff that was very pure in cocoa and barely any sugar, and I thought all chocolate was bitter. Then I went trick-or-treating…and my world changed.

  • blubell

    Pure cocoa is better for you. Go thank your mother.

  • Maknusia

    LOL…i picked up craving for dark chocolate from trick-or-treat as well! Prior to that it was way too bitter for me. Now i’m hooked

  • real-dsb

    To me, the biggest factor is that in Chat, you don’t have to click anything to see new comments. In Disqus, you have to click every time. To me, that’s a deal breaker.

    I’m not sure that Disqus is faster than Chat. It just seems faster because your comment shows up on your computer immediately. But it’s probably not showing up on others that fast. The Chat plugin should really display the user’s comment immediately on their own computer. That would give the perception of no lag.

    Are there other Chat plugins to test out? Have you tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/chat-room/

    What about IRC channel? Although that would probably not have integrated login, which is kind of a nice feature.

  • real-dsb

    Yeah, I also think that with the Lakers injuries that they won’t make the playoffs. Oh well, at least Lin will make it entertaining to watch.

    I know I’ll enjoy much more watching Lin help a low talent team overachieve than watching Lin being vastly underutilized and having a high talent team underachieve and choke out in the first round.

  • Brent Yen

    epic!

  • blubell
  • Brent Yen

    Sounds great!

  • webattorney

    I agree with what he saw and says. It corresponds with what I saw. Lakers don’t have what it takes to make the playoff this season; I saw it with my own eyes. And I tend to look at things pretty objectively.

  • webattorney

    When Lakers get down by 15, they cannot catch up because they cannot score 10 fast points in a row.

  • real-dsb

    Exactly. As long as the posts are made respectfully, the poster should not be attacked personally just because they pointed out Lin’s mistakes or think Lin’s should to be an all-star.

  • webattorney

    It is what I saw; I tend to view things pretty objectively. Like I said, I even though Lin was their best player tonight, and if that is the case, Lakers is in big trouble, because GSW had at least two players who played better BB tonight. Maybe even 3.

  • Brent Yen

    Factually yes, but that was mostly the result of cohesiveness….

  • webattorney

    Really, Klay is their best player; he’s taller and takes good shots. Also, Curry looked taller than Lin to me. Is that true?

  • Brent Yen

    Nope…

  • blubell

    I think they’re about the same.

  • webattorney

    All I know is if anyone wants to bet that Lakers will make playoff this season, you can kiss your money good-bye.

  • Brent Yen

    I think they will, but not going to bet money. 😛

  • Michael

    Could not have described it better.

  • k.smith

    The author’s not wrong. Getting tired of hearing about Lin needing to be more aggressive or play his game. Maybe that’s not his game…he’s not an alpha, doesn’t take over games.

  • webattorney

    They are both 191 cm. Curry must have gotten taller; he looked slightly taller to me.

  • Michael

    Curry eats at Subway, that’s about all I know about him.

  • k.smith

    It’s called confidence.

  • webattorney

    Curry definitely plays with more confidence — that much is true.

  • Brent Yen

    LOL swaggy

  • Michael

    Could it be because Lin is bending his knees more on defense, while Curry is standing straight up?

  • IsabeliJane*17

    Well if you ask me, Klay is indeed better than Curry, shooting-wise. Klay can shoot even without a screen. Curry,questionable. See last FIBA games when Curry was questionable at shooting 3s.

  • webattorney

    It might be because Lin bends slightly even when he stands up.

  • Brent Yen

    Curry is also a streaky shooter, that’s for sure.

  • webattorney

    Klay seems to take only decent to good shots.

  • Maknusia

    Let me relook at the game later. if I remember correctly prior to the game start, Lin/Curry was having a chat, and they was standing facing each other

  • Brent Yen

    They were chatting in games too, like it was only 4 on 4….:P

  • IsabeliJane*17

    At least his shot selections are better than Curry, imo.

  • webattorney

    To prove I was at the Lakers game. one photo attached. The first attachment.

  • webattorney

    It’s just my take on things. What are you jealous about? 🙂 I get free tickets time to time to Lakers, but this is the first time I decided to go and see for myself because of Lin.

  • webattorney

    I personally think this year will be a learning year, but Lakers will be in a rebuild mode for one or two more years.

  • IsabeliJane*17

    The free tickets and you living in LA, obviously! LOL

  • webattorney

    Yes, he actually takes 2 point shots, whereas Curry only takes 3 point shots.

  • blubell

    You should just hand over those tickets to me if you’re not gonna attend 😉

  • blubell
  • Brent Yen

    Maybe Lin will eat In&Out tomorrow?

  • I haven’t evaluated this one. I see it requires PHP filesystem access so I’ll look into it. Thanks, it looks quite good.

    Another part that I observed about Disqus is about the votes to mark good comments. I notice it gave people more excitement to ‘spur’ one another. That’s the best part about Disqus. The commenters got instant feedback and in turn get more excited to respond to other comments. Not sure if you observe the same dynamics.

    We can definitely try to evaluate it in the next 2 preseason games.

    WOW This is really a good one. Glad that Kobe is teaching and JLin is a very good and fast learner. JLin will improve even much quicker now than before.

  • Michael

    I think Kobe is also enjoying mentoring someone who actually understands what he is saying.

  • blubell

    It is probably you ignoring him…

  • blubell

    Also they both love a challenge.

    Byron Scott post-game interview: Kobe and Jeremy

  • real-dsb

    blubell had the scoop

  • real-dsb

    while I am not a fan of Kobe, I know that he does not have the patience to mentor someone that he doesn’t think highly of, and the fact that Kobe wants to mentor and challenge Lin means a lot.

  • oh wow .. I guess I’m so tired I didn’t realize it :]
    this is beginning to seem familiar LOL

  • JLin Fan from Australia

    I begin to like him a lot after seeing how he handles camps, talks, interviews…. since Media Day. Had my reserved when JLin first traded to Lakers because of what I heard about him. Glad that he is taking the mentor role on JLin and challenge him to get better. I can see how much improvement JLin will be in the days to come.

    For this, I believe JLin is “home” now.

  • blubell

    Haha. No post-game thread?

  • blubell

    15 PER is not bad for 21 minutes… just need to cut down on those pfs.

  • It’s too early still to make a judgment call but I can see how badly the rest of the roster are.

    What I saw happened was Lin was doing 50-50 with playmaking & off-the-ball (when Kobe does his thing)
    But the biggest problem is indeed the defensive rotation and no interior presence. All night long, GSW just walked in the lane.

    I believe Ed Davis can be a starter better than Hill who looked lost on defense. If Lin holds the ball 75% and Ed Davis replaces Hill, they have a pretty good starting team. Add Nick Young as SG in the 2nd team, they’ll have good spacing and good defense to start fastbreak & outscore people.

    Randle can be really good but still a rookie.It would take a lot of things going right to get 8th seed indeed.

  • real-dsb

  • LG post-game summary on Lin
    http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=170325

    Lin (1 smiley)
    “He’s definitely taking on a mentorship role for me on the court,” Lin said of Kobe. “That’s something that I don’t think I’ve had in my previous four years in the league. And it’s just nice to have someone who’s pushing me and helping me and teaching me the tricks. It’s also nice that he’s one of the best ever to do it even on the defensive end.” With Scott opting to rest Nash, Lin got the start. He said this was the first time he has done anything with the starters, including practice. He and Kobe played fine together in the two guard front. Lin could throttle it up a little more with both Nash and Swaggy out. We need another high powered scorer, so he should have that green light. He deferred to Kobe early on, but got more aggressive. Had he regular starters minutes, this was a 20+ game most likely for him and for Kobe. “I thought Jeremy picked up in the second half,” Scott said, mentioning that the team needed to have a little more initiative from the start to set the tempo. Very efficient offensive game from Lin, scoring the 14 on 4-4 shooting. It will be interesting to also see the influence Nash may have on Lin throughout the season. One of Jeremy’s scores where he kept his dribble alive and circled back through the lane for the scoop was very Nash-like in execution. The more time in these sets, the more comfortable and confident he will get and hopefully, Nash is there pointing out the nuances of the offensive game and Kobe helping on the defensive end. Kobe thought the chemistry was fine offensively between the two and focused on the D afterward. “Jeremy’s biggest challenge, which he loves, is that I’m really going to challenge him to be a great defensive player because he can,” Kobe said. “He has the speed, he has the length, he has the size. He’s never had to take on that challenge, but I think he can be a great defensive player.” Lin worked on it all offseason and Kobe and Scott will likely be focusing on it all regular season to see him take it up a level. Lin on the beating their D took: “It’s good if we learn from it,” Lin said. “If we don’t learn from it then it’s the worse thing ever and you’ll watch it happen over and over again.” See last season.

    The Stats:

    He scored 14 points on 4-4 shooting (1-1 from three, 5-6 from the line) to go with 4 boards, 4 assists, 1 turnover and 5 fouls in 21 minutes. He was a -12.

    The Action: He picked up a dribble and tried to force a pass into Boozer who was coming out to set a screen, turnover on the miscommunication. He drained a wing three on a kickout from Boozer. He probed, saw a seam and attacked it from the wing to draw FTs, he made both. He hit Boozer off the dribble for the elbow jumper. He saw the Lakers scoop up a turnover, quickly busted down court ahead of the pack and took the outlet from Kobe for the layup. He had 7 points on 2-2 shooting in the first quarter before sitting.

    Second Half: He probed baseline and drew an illegal D call. He pushed out the break, gave it up, got it back, gave it up again to Boozer for the score. He worked behind a Hill screen and was fouled on a jumper as a defender stepped under him, he made both FTs. He took down Bogut getting around a screen on D, foul Bogut. He probed baseline, kept his dribble alive, circled back around the lane and scored the layup (Nash like on that one). He came off a down screen, attacked the lane and drew FTs, he made one. He fouled Curry on the three line for an And-1. He scooped up a loose ball, pushed it up floor, put on a burst of speed and scored the layup.

    I want to know how Jeremy can get the rating of smiley with sunglasses (Kobe) or that banana waving a ribbon (Byron). These LakersGround posters surely knows how to write an in-game report.

    10.09.14 (LONG VIDEO) Jeremy Lin & LA Lakers CRUSHED By Golden State Warriors 120-105 – Analysis

    Again, I got one prediction right. This time I got the score right.

  • I am concerned for the Lakers lack of front line athleticism. Can any one of the starting big men finish above the rim?

    Jeremy showed good effort chasing Curry over screens. The Warriors do well in setting picks for the PG. The Lakers bigs e.g. Boozer seemed slow in getting back after hedging. The defensive problems may continue this year for the Lakers unless some of the more athletic bigs develope quickly this year e.g. Randell, Davis.

    No one can do anything about Curry darting and weaving through screens set for him. Curry is super quick in getting open. Hard to fault Lin for this, especially when Curry needs only 1 sec or less to launch decent 3s.

    Too busy drinking beer; that and observing fans’ reactions were almost more enjoyable than the game itself. One kid next to me got mad at me when I involuntarily clapped GSW’s good plays.

    You can see his close-up on the huge TV screen. He always looks tired, even though he’s not. Also, too many foul calls to interrupt the game flow. You can bank on Lakers not making the playoff. Kobe hanging around for another year with Lakers is going to kill Lin’s development as a team. Unless they bring in better players, the players Lakers have right now are not good enough to make it to playoff even if they gel. No offensive power and no threat of 3 point takers to open up the driving lane. My friend was telling me that many season ticket holders are stuck watching lousy Lakers just so they keep their season tickets.
