PostPosted: Thu Dec 28, 2006 12:11 am    Post subject: LAKERS -at- MAGIC - 12/27 - Thoughts and :-)) ratings

Riding the Smushcalade... Smush Parker dropped an 18-point third quarter on the Magic to help lift the Lakers to a 106-93 road win against the Magic.

Prior to riding the Smushcalade, the Lakers hopped on the Sashascooter in the second quarter. He helped spark the Lakers with some energy and steals in that quarter. Kwame Brown and Andrew Bynum combined for 23 points, 10 boards and 3 blocks from our center position. They kept Dwight Howard in check as he went for just 12 points and 8 boards on the night. Kobe led all scorers with 27.

But it was Smush's explosive third quarter, playing exceptional ball on both ends of the floor, that keyed the win. "A game like tonight definitely helps, but I'm never satisfied," Smush said of his season high. "Last year, I had the season of my life and then the last three games I played like trash. I just have to play through the end of the season."

The Magic won the points in the paint and the fastbreak battle in the first half. They got 9 offensive boards as we missed LO's length on the defensive glass. At the half, the Laker coaches begged the team to keep the Magic off the glass. We turned the tables on Orlando, holding their inside production down while we managed to get into the paint. After Smush's big third, we saw a key stretch in the middle of the fourth where all five starters were sitting. The bench-unit went +5 while Kobe rested.


Kobe -- -- In our two losses on this roadtrip, if we had gotten any kind of game from Kobe we would have been in the thick of things to the final buzzer. Kobe played better tonight, although I'd still say a bit below average for him. He led the Lakers in points and assists, scoring 27 on 8-22 shooting (11-12 from the line) and dishing 7 assists in only 36 minutes of action. Some of his shot selection was a little weak, and he had a couple defensive miscues that you don't like to see. He hit a wing 18-footer for the Lakers first score of the game. He worked off a pick at the elbow to hit an 11-footer in the lane. With the shotclock low, he created off the dribble and drew two FTs, he made both. He attacked and kicked to Luke for an open jumper. He got tapped on a three and then missed a fallaway. He attacked, drew contact on a bigman and drew FTs, making both. Out of a timeout, he dribble the possession into the ground and heaved up a missed three. He rattled in a wing jumper from 18-feet out. Poor D, reaching in the post and coming up empty to give up a layup to Hill. The mustard came off the hotdog on a sloppy backhand pass on the perimeter that went right out of bounds instead of to Luke. Sensational score, attacking the baseline past Hill, then hanging in the air longer than a couple help defenders as he banked in the And-1, he made the FT. He missed a spinning one-foot fade. He had 15 points on 5-11 shooting at the half. He fed Cook off an attack and it drew FTs. He missed a difficult, long corner fade trying to beat the shotclock (he should have kicked to a popping Cook instead). He doubled the post off the cutter (not wise) and his man scored an easy layup on a return feed. He threw a pass away, but recovered on the breakaway for a sensational block on Nelson as he went up for a layup. He then missed a jumper. Nice post feed recognizing Kwame had Howard sealed down low for a score. He scored his first point of the second half, making one of two FTs 9 minutes into the third quarter. He iso'd against Nelson and somehow drew FTs on a turnaround two-for-one situation, he made both. Poor shot selection trying to hit a turnaround fade from about 18 feet very early in the shot clock. He got his next jumper to drop off a kind, high bounce off the rim. He missed another turn around fade, slightly better look than the previous one. After the miss, he flagged down a loose Magic outlet pass, attacked and scored a layup, shielding the defender with his body. He attacked and missed a tough reverse, but Drew cleaned it up. After resting for 4 minutes in the middle of the fourth, he came back in and unfortunately stalled the offense, then missed a tough baseline jumper. He put Turkoglu to sleep on the perimeter as he faked like he was going to pick up his dribble, he took off, got into the lane, drew contact and banked in an And-1, he made the FT. He missed a three trying to ice it. He attacked and drew FTs, making both. Some rough minutes, but he still seemed to mix his aggression in with setting up others and that made a difference. "We are getting better. It's just a matter of us growing," Kobe said.

Smush -- -- Shaw said his tough D against Smush before the game made tonight's game easier for Smush (glad Shaw didn't injure him). "Like I told BShaw before the game, all I need is one." Smush said. "I got one to go early in the third and I just kept rolling." Did he ever. He scored 18 points in the third on 7-8 shooting. That got him to 20 points on the night on 8-12 shooting, with 3 assists, 3 boards and 3 steals in just 28 minutes. Early on, he was a bit of a non factor and didn't return to the game after his first stint. He missed a three and a layup with his left before hitting a pull-up jumper off a nice ball fake. He missed a bank off the pinch post, then on the other end he made a poor effort to track his man and gave up a layup. He then sat. In the third quarter, he set up Kwame for a dunk on a drive and wrap-around pass, but Kwame fumbled it away. He hit a wide open wing three to start his scoring. He swished a wing jumper coming off the screen. He attacked the lane and drew FTs, making both. He then picked Nelson at midcourt, fought for the loose ball and took it the distance for a score. After having a shot blocked by Howard earlier, Smush pumpfaked him on an attack and hit a short jumper on him on his next attempt. After pushing up a rebound, he spotted up at the three line, took a return pass and drilled it. He somehow dropped a ball out of bounds on what looked like a good breakaway pass from Kobe, otherwise he would have had a couple more. He scored a layup attacking in transition when we had numbers. He then drained a heat-check, long wing jumper on the next possession coming off a screen. He made the extra swing pass to Cook who drilled a three at the end of the quarter. Incredible third quarter from Smush, scoring 18 points and missing just once when Howard blocked his shot out of bounds. Phil gave him an extended stint, starting him the fourth. Good hustle staying with Dooling off a screen and he helped force a travel. He came up with another steal and ignited the break, but Kobe missed a three. "We just ran our offense," Smush said. "We executed our offense and I got open looks."

Walton -- -- Apparently, Luke has been playing a little banged up. It looked like he shook his hand at least once tonight after a play, as his wrist is still bothering him. Luke chipped into the effort tonight with 10 points on 4-7 shooting (1-2 from three), and had 4 assists with 1 turnover. He had a few nice help D plays in the second half that stopped some points by the Orlando bigmen. Early on, Luke missed a reverse layup in transition. He missed an open corner three. He hit a baseline jumper on a kickout from Kobe. He missed a runner trying to beat the shotclock. Great job pulling down a Kwame brick, then hitting over Howard to beat the clock. Off the dribble he hit Kwame with a bounce pass in the lane for a dunk. He scored a reverse off a jumpstep in transition. He had a basket erased on a charge, looked like Hill might have been in the restricted circle. Good box out after switching on the other end to draw a loose ball foul on Howard, he made one FT. Looked like he swatted Howard on some help D. Good contest from behind on Darko to knock the ball loose. He drained an open corner three in our last possession.

Kwame -- 8) -- In the past three games, Kwame's minutes have been limited with his effectiveness. Bynum picked up the slack for him a couple of times in wins. Tonight, Kwame helped keep Howard at bay as well as providing some post presence on the other end. He did a good job fighting for position throughout the game and Phil let him go longer than the 21-minute average he has been clocking in the last three games. Kwame scored 10 points on 4-7 shooting, grabbed 6 boards, blocked 2 shots, had 2 steals and turned the ball over 5 times in 34 minutes. He got blindsided by a guard in the post for a turnover. He posted up in traffic and hit a jumphook. He drew a foul under the hoop and made both FTs (getting them up to the rim a little slower versus his usual line drives). He bricked an attack off the backboard, but Luke cleaned it up. He poked a post entry feed out of bounds. He poked his next one loose and we recovered it. He drew a charge on Hill attacking down the lane. He dunked off a great bounce pass from Luke in the lane. He fumbled away a sure dunk when Smush gave him an interior pass. He fumbled a postup away. He sealed Howard early in the offense, took the entry and scored easily at the front of the rim. Nice up and under, but no touch, he hustled to get the miss back for another Laker possession. Great D taking a ball from Arroyo off a screen and then getting fouled. He faced up with the shotclock low and knocked down a 10-foot jumper from the wing.

Cook -- -- Cook got the start again at the PF. We saw some weaker moments defensively, either on the glass or contesting penetration and certainly missed LO's control of the defensive glass at the PF. He played 21 minutes and scored 9 points on an efficient 3-4 shooting and grabbed 6 boards. We really need to work a few more shots for him within our system when he's out there. Sure, his threat helps spread the floor, but we didn't run enough in his direction within the system. He missed a three on his first attempt. Good contest to force a miss on guard penetration. He faced up at the elbow and drilled a 16-footer. He got called for a pushing foul, then picked up a tech. He didn't box out his man and gave up a putback dunk. Kobe fed him under the hoop and Cook was fouled trying to throwdown, he made both FTs. He watched Nelson score a layup right in front of him with no challenge. He hit a wing jumper about two feet inside the arc, even though Joel said his foot was on the line. Good hustle back down court as two Magic players left a loose ball for him, he then turned it up court to start a break. Good help D contest even though he fouled, he still saved a point when the FT shooter missed on and it's better than letting a free trip after free trip go down the lane. He hit a corner three at the end of the third quarter as the buzzer went off.

Radmanovic -- -- Vlad didn't take a three in this one, but still managed to get some crafty scores for us on the offensive end...especially key for us to get something from the bench when Kobe sits in the fourth. He didn't grab a defensive board in his 22 minutes, although he did have a nice tip to save a putback later in the game. He also continued to show a knack for fouling under the hoop. He got sent to the bench after some soft D late in the game, apparently he was a little ticked. Vlad scored 7 points on 2-4 shooting. Good help D to block Howard, looked clean, but he got called for a foul. He hit a hook shot in the lane. He didn't box out and fouled Darko for FTs. Nice attack off the pinch post, he drew contact under the hoop with no call, then missed (should have been FTs). He finished strong off the pinch post handoff from Bynum, throwing down with both hands. He faked the three, attacked, drew a whistle and made sure to get a shot up, he made both FTs. He posted up drew FTs and made one.

Bynum -- -- I don't know if it was the weak play on the Christmas showcase game or just going up against some other young, promising bigmen, but Bynum brought some nice effort offensively. The Lakers also noticeably went to him. In just 13 minutes, Bynum scored 13 points on 6-8 shooting, grabbed 4 boards, blocked 1 shot and dished 2 assists. Nice to see him get 8 attempts in that limited amount of time. I think Phil was hoping the bench unit would allow him to get more touches. That really hasn't been the case, but it was tonight. In his first stint, he worked the two-man game with Farmar and scored an And-1 over Darko, he made the FT. He fumbled a low bounce pass away, normally he gets those. He drew a foul on Howard coming weak to strong. He posted up Darko, reposted, banged and hit a jumphook over him from a couple feet away. He scored a layup off an interior feed from Mo. He winged a Turkoglu post shot on some nice help D, but the Magic scored after recovering the block. He missed a jumphook off the glass from the left block. He had 7 points on 3-4 shooting at the half. He gave up an And-1 to Darko on one end, but he cleaned up a Kobe miss on the other with a putback before the shotclock expired. He posted up high in the lane, took a couple dribbles then hit a smooth looking jumphook. He crowded Darko on the other end and fouled him. He worked the pinch post with Vlad on the next possession and Vlad threw down. He took the post entry, worked toward the middle, felt the defender on his right, drop-stepped to his left and threwdown (that got the bench to its feet). He forced Darko into a miss on one end, then took an awkward shot on the other and Phil benched him (he and Turiaf looked animated on the bench as they sat). Good bounceback game from Drew. Really, his last 3 of 4 games have been quite good.

Evans -- -- Despite a poor scoring night, Evans still had a +11 in his minutes out there. He made a couple of poor post entry passes that were picked off (lack of Tri experience). He found Bynum under the hoop for a layup on another pass after attacking on the baseline. Nice up and under move in the post to lose a man, but he had the ball promptly swatted off of him out of bounds. He hit a corner three on his next attempt. He airballed a three. He went 1-5 on the night for 3 points, had 4 boards and 1 assist in 23 minutes.

Farmar -- -- Jordan was the only Laker not to score and played a poor second half. He still looked solid on D and had his usual hustle and challenges. He finished the night with 2 assists, 2 turnovers, 2 boards and no points on only one attempt in 13:44 of action. He ran the two-man game with Bynum, drew the D and hit him for an And-1. Poor attack and kickout which resulted in a turnover and score the other way. Poor job protecting the dribble and Arroyo slapped it away and it resulted in another easy score on the other end.

Vujacic -- -- Sasha gave the Lakers some spark off the bench in the second quarter and helped the Lakers put together a 17-5 run in that quarter. Good job working the passing lanes for steals. Phil gave him an extended run, playing the entire second quarter. Sasha scored 7 points on 2-6 shooting (1-4 from three, a couple of heaves from back court at the buzzers). He had 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals. Ariza scored easily past Sasha in the post. Sasha jumped a passing lane and drew a clear-path foul on the steal, he made both FTs and Kobe hit a jumper to make it a 4-point possession. Another great steal jumping the lane, he took it to the other end, got drilled with no call and Phil picked up a tech. He drained an open three at the top of the key off a Kobe pass. He overplayed another passing lane and the Magic threw the ball out of bounds. In the fourth, he curled off the Bynum screen, attacked the lane and scored a layup.

Phil -- -- Nice bounceback after the sluggish Christmas game. Phil milked the momentum players, giving Sasha and Smush some extended stints when they were giving the team a lift... The Magic had 9 offensive boards in the first half. Orlando had a 34-18 points in the paint advantage and a 10-2 fastbreak advantage in the first half... In the second half, the Lakers turned the tables. They won the points in the paint battle 24-16 and the fastbreak 11-4. They also held the Magic to only 5 offensive boards... Phil let the Kobe and Smush backcourt get some extended run. Instead of pulling Kobe to start the fourth as he usually does, he pulled him (Smush, too) with over 8 minutes left to get some rest. The Lakers led by 5 when Kobe went out, and went on to lead by 10 by the time he returned. During that stint, we had no starters in the game: Bynum, Vlad, Evans, Sasha and Farmar. Props to that group for more than holding down the fort in the middle of the fourth...

DB: Do you think Vlad should be starting? His defense is no worse than Cook's is. Plus he can create his own shot off the dribble and not just settle for the jumper like Cook does. I think Cook is better served as a role player, not a starter(even with Lamar out) I might also like to see Evans start over Luke sometimes depending on the matchup. I thought Mo should have started against the Heat and NJ to guard Wade & RJ.

Mr. EiGhTy-OnE - It depends on the match up. Cook will be a slightly better matchup when we have a bigger PF/C combo. (Frankly, Ronny should be there with those, but I guess we've got to watch his minutes with his hip deal). The other thing about Cook is that he runs the offense better than Vlad. I think there is some value to this in getting everyone clicking from the start. Occasionally, Vlad will have a few sequences where he is just not on the same page and it mucks things up. Once he gets into the flow a lot better than I think you have to consider it.

As far as Evans and Walton. I definitely agree. It reminds me a lot of the Fox/George situation we used to have where Fox couldn't guard the more athletic players and George had trouble with the crafty guys. Sometimes I just wanted to switch those at the start because that's how it would eventually end up late in the game.

The thing about Evans, though, is again Luke makes the offense click. Evans is still finding his spots and he's not going to initiate the offense by any means. So we have to rely on Kobe more. If we had Lamar out there then that would erase a lot of our dependence on that. I think the Evans/Farmar combo works better because Farmar can playmake...which Smush doesn't do a whole lot of.

But, yes, at some point I think we need to give Evans a little more run with that first unit because of the D matchups.

Thanks DB!

Smush earned some respect.

It was good to see Sasha contribute on both ends.

Point-a-minute Drew will do.

DB - thanks for your continuous reports of the Lakers' definitive upward and constantly improving progress of this team.

This team has consistently, though not always, the depth of this year's roster that has been a blessing through injuries to Kobe, LO, Luke, Cook and Vlad.
From the Kwame/Bynum rotation at 5, is
Cook/Vlad at the 4 (who do you think will be playing more once LO comes back!?!?!),
Luke/Evans at "3" and
Smush/Farmar at PG
This improvement is a credit to Phil and his coaching staff.

This in addition to the Lakers' "2nd Team" consisting of Bynum/Vlad/Evans/Sasha/Farmar who have provided energy and the ability to change the tempo of the game. Despite the naysayers to Sasha/Vlad, IMO - they will be invaluable to the Lakers' continued success during this year's playoffs and for years to come.

Thanks DB. The block by Kobe would be worth the price of admission. Filthy. Good to see kwame and bynum neutralize Howard. That duo is going to key how far this team goes.

Thanks as always DB. I always read your recap before anything else.

Normally when Sasha comes in I grit my teeth and look for the fork to stick in my eye so I won't have to watch! (guess it'd be easier to turn the channel but I'm too much of a fan.) I couldn't believe the energy he played with, the enthusiasm - he actually drove to the basket and put one in! It was great to watch. Now - if he could do that consistantly....

Smush was great too.

Now, if Lamar could come back and Kobe could shake whatever it is that's hindering him from being the smartest and most talented guy on the court we'd be in good shape! I'm proud of these guys.

After watching the Orlando game, I am thinking more and more the Miami game was a giant intentional lump of coal from Phil and the fellas in Mr. Stern's Christmas stocking.

Like in, schedule us again on Xmas and you will be lucky to get THIS much effort!

Once again, Phil is way ahead of everyone....the Xmas thing is tired and played out and he knows it and is reacting accordingly.

Thanks for the recap DB, wasn't able to watch the game. Hopefully this give Smush a jump start and play to the level he can.
Interesting comparison between Walton/Evans to George/Fox. Somewhat eery being that George/Fox was big as complimentary players. Just need for Bynum and Brown to play good minutes when they are in the game.

kwame was a beast defensively on howard, giving up nothing easy, and he hit a turn and face up jumper from about 15. niiiice

sasha took it to the hoop and finished at the basket. niiiice

smush was a stud on both ends of the floor. great effort.

i had so many things to complain about in the 1st half, but they buckled down, and did what they had to do to get a convincing win.

great effort on the road, now lets just hope they haven't already packed for home, and bring it on friday against a team we should absolutely beat. a 4-2 trip would be niiice

Usually, if you were to say that Smush and Sasha were the players-of-the-game, it meant that the team was blown to smithereens. But I'm glad to say that those two really stepped up. Add that 2-headed PG monster to our 2-headed C spot and the Lakers should rack up some wins.

Kobe still looks off on his game. Could be any combination of the flu, long roadie, knee soreness, too many minutes too soon, or trying to pick up the Lamar slack.

Hopefully, they close out the road trip in grand style. I predicted 3-3, but hey if the guys want to go 4-2, that is fine by me.

Don't think he can do it for extended/consistent runs. You would end up with the other guard running the show, probably Kobe. I'm not opposed to a Kobe/Evans backcourt for some stints. We've seen it on rare occasion...but I wouldn't expect him to give you the same things Harp and Shaw did. You'd depend on Kobe for organizing the offense.

I don't know what's happening... I was expecting to see the usual Smush, "The Clown", routine... With Farmar coming in, to bring a sense of organization...

I was very disappointed, in Farmar... In the first place, Jordan did not get enough PT... I suppose, Smush's new-found success, contributed greatly, to the decision to let Farmar ride the lonesome pine, for most of the game. Then, Farmar has to embarrass me further, with two turnovers!!
Maybe, these guards are taking turns, being, alternately, the goat, then, the hero?? :roll:

Anyway, it looked like another game, from a Pink Panther Movie... Very awkward, but they were even more awkward.

DB - what are your thoughts of Mo playing as a Ron Harper/BShaw-type PG?


Don't think he can do it for extended/consistent runs. You would end up with the other guard running the show, probably Kobe. I'm not opposed to a Kobe/Evans backcourt for some stints. We've seen it on rare occasion...but I wouldn't expect him to give you the same things Harp and Shaw did. You'd depend on Kobe for organizing the offense.


Actually, with Lamar back, I would go with Kobe/Evans, but only against certain teams (a-la Pisstons)

DB - the ideal match (IMO) would be Farmar, but in situations where Smush (a non-PG/SG type of player where defense is highly desired) - Evans would be a great choice in the future. Paul Westphal had suggested this option during one of his commentary, what do you think?

Well, I'm always hyping us getting a guy like Pietrus because I think he can do those things that you want Evans to do. I'm all for playing Evans/Kobe at times, but I don't think we can throttle it up the way you might want. He's not that Harp/Shaw type. Defensively, yes...I'd love to see him out there a bit more with Kobe. I think they've done it a couple of times against teams that run some two PG lineups, and he's seemed to hold his own against those PGs. Right now, I think we could use it advantageously in stints only.

This was the first game, I've missed all season. (damn power outages )

Thanks a bundle, DB. Big, big help.
