TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers vs. Nuggets

Published by Steve Avery on November 22, 2008 in Avery's Postgame. 25 Comments

The Lakers continue to embarrass playoff teams of 2008 with their elite defense and great ball movement. Tonight, the victims were the Nuggets, who were held to only 90 points (FREE TACOS!) on under 43% shooting. The Lakers had 12 steals and 9 blocks.

When it came down to it, the Lakers just executed better in the half court set. Better passing, shooting, dribbling, and even rebounding.

The Lakers did a number on Melo who was held to 5-19 shooting on the night (cough Ariza cough).

Now, the bests of the night…

TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers vs. Suns

The Lakers put on another show tonight. The show started with defense as the Lakers held the high-scoring Suns to only 92 points on the road.

Tonight was a very balanced attack, as the Lakers sent a little bit of everything tonight — Kobe scoring, Ariza slashing, Sasha pestering, Vlad splashing, Pau being Pau, and everything else. Six Lakers scored double figures.

The real stat tonight is the Lakers 25 assists to only 7 turnovers. That is a winning formula. The Lakers also took care of business from three point land with 10 threes in 21 attempts.

Now, the bests of the night…

TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers @ Hornets

Pretty much the opposite game as last night, but the same result.

Instead of a sluggish start and a strong finish, the Lakers decided to melt down in the fourth and get saved by a miraculous Kobe three pointer.

The Lakers shot the ball poorly tonight, only 41%, but made up for it with their 11 steals. They also took care of the ball with only 9 turnovers.

A good balanced attach with Kobe and Fish scoring 20 each, and 3 others with double figures.

Now, the bests of the night…

TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers @ Mavericks

Another sluggish start. Another entertaining win for the Lake Show! It seems that no matter how terrible this team plays, we can still pull out wins.

I know I say it in every post game report, but I love this teams depth. Every game we have different people finishing. Tonight, Lamar and Ariza stepped in to close the game.

The Lakers won the game with defense in the end as they had 13 steals as a team and held Dallas to under 42%. Offensively, the Lakers did their thing, with tip dunks and fadeaways from Kobe.

Now, the bests of the night…

TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers vs. Rockets

Who would have though the Lakers would finish the game with a 29 point rout after that start?

The Lakers got outplayed in the first quarter, but the rest of the game was all L.A.! The Lakers defense for the remainder of the game was some of the best I had seen in awhile. The Lakers once again showed what separates them from the rest of the elite — depth and defense.

The Lakers shot 53% from the field and 53% from behind the arc. The keys were their 26 assists and 19 turnovers forced. 50 boards, 13 steals, 10 blocks. The Lakers really filled up the box scores.

This was just an entertaining game to watch with tons of highlights if you are a Lakers fan

TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers vs. Clippers

When the game started I told my friends, can we at least have it be close, and then just dominate in the end. I didn’t want to see Luke play the entire fourth in a blowout tonight. It turns out I got my wish as the Lakers trailed in the fourth, only to go on a huge run that couldn’t be answered by the Clippers.

The Lakers remained undefeated at the still winless Clippers expense.

The Lakers had a balanced attack with 8 players scoring 9 or more points tonight. Amazingly, the Lakers still put up 106 points despite shooting under 39% from the field, mostly due to the free throw attempts and offensive boards.

The Clippers really didn’t have an answer to the Lakers size even with Camby and Kaman inside as the Lakers got tons of boards and were fouled 32 times.

Now, the bests of the night…

The Lakers continued to play good basketball as they played their first game out of Los Angeles.

Tonight in Denver, the Lakers played a bit sluggishly, but forced enough turnovers and grabbed enough boards to win the game.

The Lakers still have room to improve but I’m enjoying what I have seen from this team.

Size matters and it was shown tonight as the Lakers had 53 boards, 15 more than the Nuggets. The Lakers also had some different rotations tonight since Bynum got in early foul trouble.

What I love about this team is that we can shoot 37% from the field, and win. The team is deep and balanced.

TLN’s Post-Game Report: Lakers vs. Blazers

Welcome back, Lakers Nation! A great start to a promising Lakers season.

The Lakers took care of the young Blazers pretty easily tonight with a 96-76 win at Home. The two things that impressed me the most tonight were…

1) The Lakers depth — This team is deep… very deep. With Lamar, Ariza, and Farmar off the bench, this team doesn’t lose a beat. In fact, they might even be better than some of the starters on this team.

2) The defense. The Lakers were everywhere tonight, challenging shots, deflecting passes and blocking shots. The Blazers were held under 35% shooting tonight.

The Lakers really made the Blazers look young and inexperienced tonight. Every Laker did their part to lead us to this nice victory to begin the season. The much anticipated Bynum vs. Oden matchup became a dud, but there will be many more to look forward to.

Now, the bests of the night…
