@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

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.

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

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
psalm234
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.

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.

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.

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.

No chance in h*ell are they making 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Haha. No post-game thread?
blubell
15 PER is not bad for 21 minutes… just need to cut down on those pfs.
psalm234
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.

10.09.14 (LONG VIDEO) Jeremy Lin & LA Lakers CRUSHED By Golden State Warriors 120-105 – Analysis
7iger
Again, I got one prediction right. This time I got the score right.
wilsc
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.
webattorney
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.
webattorney
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.
webattorney
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.
