Game Thread: Knicks at Lakers- 12/16/08

by Seth on Dec 16, 2008 9:27 PM EST in Game Threads Comment 58 comments

Not feeling punished enough from last night's loss in Phoenix? Well have I got the thing for you. The road trip ends tonight in Los Angeles, where Kobe and the Lakers will play host to the Knick hotshots. Perhaps some hot shooting tonight can balance out last night's near-drunk performance. Maybe just enough to upset one of the best teams on the planet? You never know! What we do know is that Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol pose a problem just like AmShaq did in Phoenix. Keep an eye on which Knicks attack the rim and try to get those big kids in foul trouble, and how D'Antoni's guards defend the pick-and-roll. Should be xxxciting! Tipoff's at 10:30. Leave them comments, friends. Oh, and would anybody be game for a recap? I've got two finals tomorrow and wouldn't be able to have one up until the late afternoon. Which I guess wouldn't be that unusual, but still...anybody?

By the way, the above jersey falls into the category of "huge jerseys that I owned when I was in third grade that would fit me now but my mom threw them out and I still sometimes have night terrors because of the loss".

Update: Can't believe I forgot. Guess who might be in attendance tonight? I know the game's not at MSG, but can we get a special edition "Gimme a Minute" for tonight?

why is he always soaking wet?

i have a theory that right before each game, lakers assistant brian shaw heads down to the swamplands of california to wake sasha, who is sleeping half-submerged beneath some lilypads.

anybody else saw that 2-3 when duhon banged that triple?

good things happen when duhon drives into the lane

by tak4prez on Dec 16, 2008 11:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

yes!

especially when he’s got a little fire and doesn’t settle for the weak-ass kick-outs.

kobe gone jersey-pulling and lee pays no mind.

by stingy d on Dec 16, 2008 11:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

second half

this hot shooting simply can’t continue. and the lakers will start connecting on them little bunnies. so the defense gotta be twice as furious and they’ve gotta attack the rim and get to the line. the onus is on du and nate to make that happen. the forwards can’t settle either.

nate: “shake and bake”. he would love talladega nights.

good half fellas

i would stress going to the hole with a vengeance! we’re dumping jumpers on these mopes, let’s flush a few.

by stingy d on Dec 16, 2008 11:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

i'm thorougly impressed with the first half

and it’s a good sign that it was q-rich then nate who lit it up (i.e. not harrington). but i’m afraid it’s going to be raining bricks in the staples center in the second half.

by tak4prez on Dec 16, 2008 11:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

and it begins.

chandler bricks. kobe hits.

not if a small guy

aw man great game

such a heartbreaker

but look- despite the trades we made this season, and the absence of the present stephon marbury, we are not ill-equipped. we can beat the best of the best. we need an extra push. but we only played 7 guys. so look, add lebron and wade to the mix and imagine the pummeling these pallokas would have just received.

82-0 in 010! right?
