Byron is so stupid...if kbe is sick th
an let Lin take over....
---------------------------------------------------------
so if Kobe was sick, why didn*t Byron let Lin take charge in Q4?
Did Kobe and Boozer try to run the offense?
Statpad is good :>
-----------------------------------------------------
Byron said he found out during the game Kobe wasn*t feeling well. Said he wanted to give him opportunity to push through it.
-----------------------------------------------
Sick or not, minutes are a big issue for Kobe. He’s piling them up and we’re not even to Thanksgiving. Until he scales back, it’s trouble.
---------------------------------------------------------
Kobe: "Your body won’t respond and you’re sick and you used to be able to fight through these things."

this team doesn*t fit lin. he is talented enough to play great but the are really slow, lack athleticism, and can*t shoot threes. he is still playing great but can dominate with this team. why you ask. in order for lin to dominate you have to make your shot. so it open lanes for him to drive. spur defended lin by saying hill go ahead shoot.
--------------------------------------------------------
I think he did well today with the personnel he had. He made some great passes but his teammates blew most of them. Only critique is I would have liked Lin to be more aggressively looking for his shot when his teammates just aren*t hitting them.
Kobe*s 1-14 and Hills 1-13 just proved too insurmountable for the Lakers team. With them shooting so badly it*s miraculous it wasn*t a huge blowout game.
--------------------------------------------------------
I think the personnel is ok....in ftiing sense. It is the rotations, sets, and philosophy that are limiting Lin.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Their pace is too slow (philosophical difference to elite scoring teams). Their Sets were limited in terms of options. and their rotations are abusing Kobe and under using Lin right now. Not just the minutes but the players Lin got when Lin is on the floor
-----------------------------------------------------------
Take your pick on offense, Wes, Boozer..etc. Look at how very often they have no idea where to be.

I am anout to say I do not blame Scott one this, because if you give players like Wes and Hill too many options. They are going to screw up big time.
-------------------------------------------------------------
For example, when they do high post split. Lin set a down screen for Kobe while Hill has the ball at the elbow. The WHOLE WORLD know Kobe will curl and get stopped at FT line. Then the whole offense just died.
-------------------------------------------------------
Jeremy Lin just said he saw Kobe in the training room and he didn*t look good at all. Will talk to Kobe later.
---------------------------------------------------------
That*s super Lin...being supportive through thick & thin. Gotta respect him for that.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lin said that the he felt the team was getting good looks in the first 3 qtrs. But just didnt make shots.
--------------------------------------------------------
Lakers plan to send Jordan Clarkson to D-Fenders for tomorrow’s game, will be back with Lakers for Sunday vs GSW

I have read quote before about how Kobe will play regardless of the situation, because he knows there are fans who spent their hard earned money to watch him play. I think that is true. Of course there are others like Pop who couldn*t care less.
-----------------------------------------------------------
REPLY ABOVE
I*m not buying it. That*s just disrespecting the effort of the other players. He*d rather the team lose than sit out to give others a chance to contribute to a win.
-----------------------------------------------------------
but a good coach would just ask Lin to feed Kobe for easy 3 shots, right?
How can he expect a sick Kobe to create a reliable offense?
I*m baffled by these choices
-----------------------------------------------------------
Scott acknowledged that Jordan Hill may be settling for his jumper a bit too much. Would like to see more balance w/post work.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Scott says the team was better defensive with more energy and effort. "We played hard, but maybe not particularly smart."

Lin on Boozer: "He can hit the jumper, and he can finish. Pick and pop, and pick-and-roll. He just has to read and space accordingly."
---------------------------------------------------------
Lin is like a coach...OMG....I think Scott should play and Lin coach
-------------------------------------------------------------
coach lin to the rescue
--------------------------------------------------------
JLin is definitely a much better coach than over 70% of NBA coaches. It will be fun to see him to do NBA coaching when he retires.
--------------------------------------------------------
Lin on offense: "Honestly we just got to keep shooting. If you ask any great shooter how to get out of a slump. You just keep shooting."
-----------------------------------------------------------
WOW! JLin gets it now:-)
-----------------------------------------------------------
He always know. It is fans saying he does not
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lin: "I remember several times we got good shots and stuff just didn*t go in for whatever reason. Just some nights that*s just how it is."
-------------------------------------------------------------

... hell out of there as a free agent. How are we going to watch a whole season of this? Is this a test for us? To see if we can endure ...

@zukovka Good things come to those who waits. As difficult as it is to watch, Lin*s playing solid when he*s in. Only bright spot for me.
10:08 PM - 14 Nov 2014

Lin free throws: 37/40 = 93%
---------------------------------------------------------
scott lost that game. we was playing good without kobe scoring so what does scott decide. let me guess take lin out let kobe try to score.
-------------------------------------------------------------
noCoach/Bryant has consistently lost winnable games throughout the season...ooooph dah.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hope @cali7 get herself together with these Taiwanese fans to get group picture with JLin .. haha..
These guys from Taiwan root for @JLin7 and @Lakers at the coming game vs Spurs. Go!! 林书豪 #GoLakers
--------------------------------------------------------
I see someone in the pic with Kone*s #8 jersey, booooooooo... lol
Lin is so lucky to being a Taiwanese American, Taiwanese support their players like no others..
-----------------------------------------------------------
no wonder Lin sometimes posted some his video for Chinese fans only. We are just not crazy enough to get Lin*s attention!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I think Taiwan fans give Lin unconditional fan loyalty. The US fans tend to be easily swayed by others.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nop the other way around. JLin knows he has die-hard fans from Taiwan. Believe this is one of the many groups are going to cheer JLin up.
-------------------------------------------------------------
LOL Told you! My boy got 15 points.

Hes not only the player, he also observes his teammates in the game. He knows how 2 dig out the potential fm them, thats one of his advantages fm other players in the league.
---------------------------------------------------------
Exactly, that*s what a good coach would say to a slumping player. There*s a lot of pressure in pro sports, teammates like Kobe can be a huge psychological pressure to make shots because if you miss too many, you get cut off. Coaches will pressure you by playtime. GMs will pressure you with contracts. Fans will pressure you with expectations.
It*s very easy to buckle under if shots arent falling. Confidence goes and it goes from bad to worst. A good coach would do everything in his power to rebuild that inner trust. Make the player know that you believe in them and trust them to break out soon.
For all the talk of kobe mentoring HIS team, his lack of empathy and trust on court speaks much louder than any words he has to say.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yup.
Scott was a REALLY good player, though I though Lin the player is better than Scott was!
--------------------------------------------------------
Last 5 games Lin is averaging 33.2mins /16.2pts / 4.2asts / 2.8rebs / 1stl / 2to
--------------------------------------------------------
Please sit Kobe. Please.
-----------------------------------------------------------
super nice to Kobe, really. I know kobe is sick, just saying Lin is a great team mate.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jeremy Lin was 7 of 12 on catch-and-shoot 3*s before missing one from Kobe just now. Developed that last year playing w/Harden in HOU.
-----------------------------------------------------------
LOL
Announcer: "Jeremy should have gotten 1pt for that great pass!"

Since I went to the game, I am now writing my 3 page report per Brent. ;)
This game was a very difference experience from the Clippers game. The Lakers seemed to have regressed, yet again, offensively. Honestly, at least with MDA there was offense. Sometimes the defense and offense were just ugly.
Things I remember from the game:
After the first play of the game, Lin went up to Hill to point something out. It seemed it had something to do with the defensive rotation. Again, no rim protection, especially the first half of the game. BScott*s insistence on this line up makes no sense defensively for someone who is preaching defense. Then to say that he can*t instill the defense he wants because of his personnel is a cop out, IMO. He could obviously use Davis or try it but I guess he is waiting until they are 1-14 or 2-13 before making any kind of change for defense.

Kobe*s and Johnson*s defense were suspect tonight, leaving their man with open threes at times. Poor defense on the three point line again overall tonight.
Lin*s defense on Parker was overall very good, I thought. Kobe again played the entire first quarter, practically each of the other quarters, it seemed, except for the fourth. I don*t understand why BScott plays Kobe the entire first quarter and has Lin sit when the group on the court is keeping within range of the game.
Once Clarkson checked in, I think it was in the second quarter, Parker scored back to back baskets for 4 quick points. It went from 7 pt difference to 11 pt difference in a blink of an eye.
I saw BScott call some plays with some visuals, and Lin confirmed with visuals back, as well as orally.
BScott talked to Kobe one-on-one at times when Kobe was sitting.
At one point when Lin was checking in for Clarkson, Lin pointed something out to Clarkson.

joyce ward:
this is what i was doing on a Friday night:
Hi Guys☺☺, for your information, I just got back from the game. I have to say, Laker fans are the best fans in the world. They will show up at games even if they are loosing. Lin played well. His focus tonight was on defense. He kept Tony Parker out of the paint. It was interesting that Tony tried a couple of times to post on lin, but lin shut him down, so as soon as Parker got the ball he passed it. Also Lakers defense was much better through the the first half of the game. They had Spurs taking last minute shots. Also kobe passing the ball more. Kobe was terrible tonight and the fans that i was sitting with wanted him taken out of the game. Lin really looked serious tonight.

He really only talked to Sacre/Kelly/Clarkson. I think there is a clique of Boozer/Hill/Davis/Johnson/probably Nick. Xavier Henry was joking with lin in the hallway while they were waiting to be introduced, they showed it on the monitor. Kobe wasn*t talking to anyone. Lin/Kobe got the most applause when they were introduced and scored points. Lin missed two 3 point shots. The thing with Lin and his shot, his takes the most efficient shots. He just doesn*t shoot to be shooting. Also they were setting screens for Parker like crazy, but lin was fighting through them. I thought it was interesting that Pops put Leonard on Lin and that is when he had those two steals in a row on lin. I think Lin was mad at himself for that. I thought that was respect from Pops about lin.

Kobe not feeling well, I believe it a little, but it looked to me that kobe was tired. He had the ball stripped from him at least 4 times. There was a play in the game when lin was on the bench and Davis got the ball, but nobody was rotating and he was just holding the ball looking for somebody. Also a lot of fans were very hopeful going into halftime because Lakers were down by 8 points, and then Scott with bad coaching decide to put the ball in kobe*s hands and it went down hill. A lot of fans wanted Linsanity to show up tonight. I think Boozer/Hill/Johnson just don*t get it and the fans were ragging on them big time. Lin and 1st unit need to mesh, because when they do they will play well. It is a process and as Jabar said today, that Lakers are trying to grow their own and it is a process.Also the fans are already calling for Scott to be fired. I think the Lakers are getting better,but they are a young team and they need a good coach like Popvich to bring out the best in them. All I want lin to do is get his stats.
