The Fundamentals

... Kevin Ding of The Orange County Register: “Here’s something that was very wrong during the Lakers’ 11-1 start: Derek Fisher had 123 field-goal attempts (and shot 35 percent on them), whereas Gasol had 142 attempts (and shot 52 percent on them). In the Lakers’ 12th victory, Gasol shot 9 for 12 from the field, scoring 26 points to lead the Lakers over New Jersey on a night when Kobe Bryant was off (5 for 17 from the field, 12 points). And Lakers coach Phil Jackson acknowledged afterward that the Lakers need to be mindful of going to Gasol, who isn’t going to demand the ball ...
Bynum's foot and two Big D's

... . If Bynum is unable to go- or even if he's fine- the Lakers still ought to make sure the ball gets down low, particularly in the hands of Pau Gasol. Offensively, LA would certainly survive a limited Bynum, but on the other end could pay a price, as the young center has been a key part of ...

Lakers Inconsistency Is Bothering
laballtalk.com 1/9/2009 — Last night was just another typical Lakers game. The game gets under way, they instantly fall behind by about 6 points and can’t seemingly run any offense while the Warriors run fastbreaks to perfection.
