Good to see Clarkson back, showing aggression, driving and scoring off the reverse, and it looks to me like Randle's been taking some lessons from Kobe on a couple of those mid-range pump fake shots he made. |

His chemistry with players except Ed is bad. He needs help from a slasher or a 3pt shoot at the corner of the weak side. |
I wouldn't say the chemistry is bad. They are still learning to play together. And Randle and Clarkson are still getting used to NBA. |

Lin as a primary playmaker has always been ridiculously turnover prone. Luckily we still have Bryant to run the offense through. |
BFD. Lillard had 5 TOs. Its a preseason game with some players he's only played limited minutes with. On one TO the player could have, should have blocked off his defender better and gone for the ball. Another was a bounced passed that the player couldn't handle. He will learn who can and how they handle passes. Dribbling thru traffic, he is at his best when he attacks.
He is a decent 3 point shooter. I sure wish Scott's schemes set up more open looks from 3. |

I agree though that we need more movement. A slasher and its crazy that none of Scott's schemes seem to set up any open looks from the corner. |

I don't care what brand of basketball he's playing. He needs to protect the ball. Two identical lazy post entry passes for TOs isn't a good look. The kid has lapses. |

Sweet! Let us know if you see any Lakers at Whole Foods after the game. |
Had to rush home to get the kids to sleep, so unfortunately, no whole foods. :p Besides, I don't think they have any WF within 25 miles of where I live (Chino Hills), much less Ontario. Too yuppy for us out here!
We sat behind the basket at FL120 section, which was the Blazer's side. In some ways, these seats at about $75 a piece were better than my $150 seats 4 rows and an aisle behind the bench from October 12th blowout versus GS. We were right on the aisle and able to watch the Blazers players walk in and out at half time and at the end of the game. |

Ed Davis deserves to start if he continues this preseason revelation... |

To those that were concerned with Lin's turnovers: Get used to it. The guy turns the ball over a lot, but he arguably more than makes up for it. When he was with the Knicks he was turning the ball over 10 times a game but they still won. With the Rockets, it seems like they won more when he turned the ball over a lot. Now whether or not the # of turnovers means something about how he's playing (being aggressive etc) or if it's just meaningless correlation I'm not sure. |
