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

Published by Katie Spaeder on November 19, 2008 in Katie's Postgame. 32 Comments

This game was much different than the game on Friday when we faced the Pistons. We started the game slow, but Lakers pretty much took control of the game from the second half on.

The Bulls were able to cut the lead to single digits in the fourth quarter, but it was the Lakers defense that never allowed the game to be put in jeopardy of being lost.

I was a little disappointed that we allowed them to score 109 points, seeing that they’re a team that averages below 100 game, but keeping their field goal percentage at 43% made up for it. The 16 steals and 11 blocks the Lakers had, made up for it as well.

Those who thought we were going to go 82-0 or who thought this game would be an easy win are going to be disappointed.

The Lakers started the game poorly and played that way pretty much the rest of the game.

They were able to get some good looks in the first quarter, but they couldn’t knock them down. The only bright spot during that time was the offensive boards our bigs were getting, but even then we had a hard time converting them into second chance points.

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

Wow. I’m not sure what to say about this win except that the Lakers made the Clippers look like a high school team. It’s hard to believe it was us who played last night, not the Clippers.

The Lakers started out strong, leading 12-4 early in the first quarter until Baron Davis and the Clippers forced turnovers and broke down our defense. They went on a 23-14 run, briefly taking a 27-26 lead before Kobe Bryant made a technical free throw and Trevor Ariza hit a 3-point shot at the buzzer to take the lead at the end the first quarter.

The Clippers were able to keep it close up until mid-way through the second quarter, when the Lakers second unit, lead by Jordan Farmar, took over. They continued to blow open the lead and it wasn’t even really close after that. They ended the night handing the Clippers a 38-point loss in their season opener.

Overall, the whole team played excellent basketball tonight. The defense was not top notch as it could have been in the first half and the Clippers seemed to be getting into the paint at free will, but it picked up when our second unit came in.

Hello, Lakers Nation!

I’m Katie and I’ll be backing up Steve Avery when he’s unable to provide you with those post game reports we’ve grown to love. I’m very excited about this upcoming season and my hope is that you all enjoy what I have to say and welcome me with open arms.

Now on to my first post-game…

Well, for the first time we saw what will most likely be our starting lineup. Unfortunately, it failed to impress me. Bynum and Pau seemed to play well together, but as expected, Lamar looked lost. I’m not ready to call it a complete failure ‘cause it will take time for them to gel, but they definitely have some work to do.
