wow a positive comment! But yeah I'd have to agree. Its nice to know that even though the Lakers are playing horrible right now and no where near up to potential they still find ways to win. That to me is a sign of a true champion. Still it'd be better if The Lakers (Especially the bench players) got their heads out of their @ss and played the way they can play. Getting out rebounded by an undersized team is just unacceptable. |

Give me a break. He stunk it up tonight and you just cant let it go that we improved with the accusition of Ron. Funny you didnt mention his 3 he made seconds before.
....and what about the TIMELY turnover without even getting off the last shot? No mention of that either.
Lets not forget Kobe let Ariza shoot that 3 wide wide open. |

If you really think about it, they arent playing horriblely really. They are playing better defense than they were last season. Rockets and OKC are tough match ups for any team. Rockets have those tough compact lakers that hussle and rebound. I've been watching them the past few games... I wouldn't be surprised if they make the playoffs. |

Cobbler, your not too smart are you.. you saw the rest of ariza's stat line.. 9reb.. 5 assists ? Forget the shooting, he was being guard by Kobe and Artest virtually. Ofcourse he is gonna shoot a horrible percentage. The whole argument is not who is the better player.. but who is the better player for the team. Still maintain we shoulda kept the younger, more athletic ariza. His game has developed and he will get better.
Did you see ron ron get blocked last night? he could barely get up off the floor. But ok, he is a tough SOB and he hasn;t done something dumb yet and we did get him for the mid level. So lets pray he doesn't do something retarded..lets pray he doesn't do something dumb |

| well just imagine if we weren't paying retards like walton, sasha, farmar and morrison. we could have signed both and had ariza coming off the bench with odom and brown. now that would be a real bench. regardless i think the artest move will turn out to be the right one for this team. we got 3 more years to legitimately win a title before we start rebuilding. |

Yeah the rockets are tough, I'll give them that but I just have this feeling when watching the Lakers that they are under-acheiving. They just look lethargic & uninterested. Thank goodness this is happening now and not in April. Can't wait until Pau gets back. |

Again with the personal attack? Haven't you learned how bad you are making yourself look?
Artest 6-14 (42%), 3-7 3pt (42%), 6 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 to
Ariza 5-21 (23%), 2-7 3pt (28%), 9 reb, 5 ast, 0 stl, 3 to
Ill take Rons numbers any day so i must be stupid as you imply.
Sooo you have argued for years that we are too soft and dont play D. Now you excuse Trevors horrendous game because we got tougher and played better D yet we are worse off as a team for swapping players. Im sorry...but my stupidity limits my comprehension of these circular arguments.
If Artest would have shot 5-21 tonight you would be all over this board saying you told us so and you know it. But you can't..... so you use comments like "he will get better". Please tell me how you know this... I'm all ears. |

It didnt seem that close at all. Ariza really stunk tonight but I guess that 3 point tying shot made up for his performance. He gave his team another shot at winning the game but unfortunately for the Rockets, and fortunately for us, we won the game |

It wasnt that close. 5-21 vs 6-14? 2-7 vs 3-7 3pt? Ariza led assists 5-1 but dont forget the 3 to's. He also was the go to guy for Houston which leads to more opportunities. Watching the game is was clear who the better player was (in this game). After the year is over we can evaluate the whole thing. I'm of the impression we need the toughness, D, and size Artest brings over the athleticism of Ariza. If it turns out otherwise, I will be the first to admit it. |

Another overtime, another victory for Lakers
HOUSTON - After Ron Artest stuck a dagger into the hearts of his former teammates and after Trevor Ariza stuck one between the ribs of his old team, that's when the fun really started Wednesday at the Toyota Center.
Artest and Ariza traded 3-pointers in the closing seconds of regulation play, with Artest giving the Lakers the lead and Ariza countering for the Houston Rockets and forcing overtime.
Others would determine the outcome once the game went to overtime, but for a delicious moment or two late in the fourth quarter it appeared first Artest and then Ariza had made the game's critical shot.
Artest and the Lakers eventually defeated Ariza and the Rockets, 103-102, as a sellout crowd of 18,291 fans tried their best to keep up with the ebbs and flows of a game that threatened to turn at any moment.
Derek Fisher, who didn't score a point, stripped the ball from a driving Ariza on the game's final play to seal the victory for the defending NBA champions.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 41 points on 15-for-30 shooting, one night after he scored 31 points in an overtime victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He also had six rebounds and four assists in a team-leading 48 minutes, 29 seconds.
"Just had to tough it out, just had to tough it out," said Bryant, who had a sore throat.
Andrew Bynum scored 17 points and grabbed 17 rebounds and made a go-ahead free throw with 24.7 seconds remaining in the 5-minute overtime.
He suffered a sprained right elbow when Houston's Chuck Hayes fouled him.
Artest had 15 points, including a 3-pointer that gave the Lakers a brief 92-89 lead with 30 seconds left in regulation.
At that moment, it appeared Artest had delivered the winner in his first game since leaving the Rockets for the Lakers as a free agent last summer. Artest was booed and cursed for most of the game by Rockets fans in his return to Houston.
Ariza matched Artest's 3-pointer after winning a jump ball with Fisher with 19.6 left. Ariza, who left the Lakers to sign with the Rockets during the offseason, suddenly looked like the hero.
"Poetic," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said of the contributions of Artest and Ariza. "I thought it was poetic justice that they both had opportunities to help their teams."
Fisher and Bynum played larger roles in determining the winner in overtime, however. Fisher missed all five shots he attempted and did not have a rebound or an assist. Bynum missed the first of two free throws after Hayes fouled him, but then swished the second.
Houston had a final chance to win after Bynum's free throw, but the Lakers double-teamed the Rockets' Aaron Brooks near midcourt.
Brooks finally passed to Ariza, who fought through Bryant's defense to get it.
Ariza, pushed well away from the basket, drove as the final seconds passed. As he neared the hoop, Fisher swatted the ball away. Artest came up with it and passed ahead to Fisher, just as the final buzzer sounded on the Lakers' fourth win in five games.
"I looked up on the clock and saw that there was four seconds left in the game," Ariza said after scoring 15 points on only 5-for-21 shooting. "I tried to get a good look (at the basket) and the ball got stripped."
Given that they changed teams on the same day of frenetic negotiations last June, Artest and Ariza appeared destined to meet in their first game against each other. In fact, they almost came to blows in the game's opening minutes and drew technical fouls.
Artest said Ariza elbowed him in the chest.
Ariza said Artest put his hands on his neck.
"You know when somebody hits me, I'm going to react," Artest said later while breaking into a faint smile. "It's not fun. I don't want to fight. I'm not fighting anymore. I'm tired.
"Go ahead and hit me like a punching bag, an elbow bag. I'm tired."

New guy out of place in lead role
Trevor Ariza tried to downplay his first game against the Los Angeles Lakers, the team in the city where he grew up.
The team he helped win the NBA championship last summer.
The team that shortly after the victory parade told him they would rather spend the money it would take to re-sign him on former Rocket Ron Artest.
Ariza pointed out that he now recognizes how “cutthroat” business is in the NBA, but he swore he would feel no extra emotion against his hometown team.
Yeah, right. The 103-102 loss to Los Angeles has to hurt more than the season-opening loss at Portland. Especially since he played so poorly.
Not according to Ariza, whose off night (5-of-21 from the floor) concluded with a turnover in the final second, stripped of his chance at a game-winning basket by Derek Fisher.
“All losses hurt; this one doesn't hurt more than any other one,” he said. “I'm not downplaying anything; I'm just telling you how it feels. I can't make up something.”
He must have felt something to almost get into it with Artest early in the game, resulting in a technical for each of them. It almost resulted in a choking, but Artest said he showed remarkable restraint in not putting his hands around Ariza's throat.
“I had to fall back a little bit because I sensed that they were trying to get me ejected,” Artest said. “So I had to refocus and just play basketball.”
Artest's conspiracy theory aside, Ariza showed something in that little dustup by standing up to the stronger Artest, who would pack an extra 50 pounds into the ring against Ariza.
Didn't seem comfortable
Now he has to show the Rockets that he can handle the load they have put on him. He has done that for the most part.
When Artest hit a cold-blooded trey with 30 seconds left in regulation to put L.A. ahead by three points, Ariza was probably wondering how much worse this night could be. But then came what Lakers coach Phil Jackson described as poetic justice.
Ariza drove to the basket and almost threw the ball away trying to find Luis Scola. He managed to get into the fray for a jump ball. He won the tip, floated around the perimeter and drilled his own 3-pointer to tie the game with 14.2 seconds left.
Finally, he stepped up and did something.
Ariza claimed he wouldn't be flustered playing against his former team, but for much of the game, he floundered around Toyota Center as if he had open nerve endings showing. He finished with 15 points and had nine rebounds and five assists, but he never looked comfortable on the court.
Rockets coach Rick Adelman wanted Ariza to try to do too much against his former team. He wanted him to try to show the Lakers what they were missing.
He wanted Ariza to stick jumpers on one end, block shots on the other and run past the Lakers' bench making faces at his former teammates.
Time to grow up
OK, maybe not the face-making, but Adelman wanted some attitude.
Ariza kind of brought it, but kind of didn't. He is just not that guy. Never will be.
Ariza just doesn't have the assassin's mentality that makes stars super. Prior to this season, he had never taken 21 shots in a game as he did Wednesday, and it seemed he didn't want to take some of those.
Kobe Bryant was the only other player on the court firing up shots at that rate. Bryant got off 30 attempts and scored a game-high 41 points. Unlike Ariza, Bryant is quite comfortable firing away.
If Ariza had more Aaron Brooks or Kyle Lowry in him, he might be a perennial All-Star. But he is what he is, and that's OK.
The Rockets knew what they were getting when they signed him with their mid-level exception.
But the Rockets' fortune this season might rest with Ariza's transformation from extra to lead. He won't have all the lines in this production, but through five games he leads the team in field-goal attempts and scoring, and that is not likely to change.
It's not his fault the Rockets lost, but it was a game that they could have won had he played better.

All worked as expected; a close game against a hard team, and our first-month-of-season-D. We're not able at all about making good D at this point of the season, don´t ask me why. Maybe that's about having the PO's always in mind, thinking about the regular season as a warming time. All we know that, having PJax on the bench, that's the way our team works...so all we'll be fine  .
Well, talking about the game, they had been back-to-back OT's wins. That's bad in terms of extra work, but also are two more wins, don´t forget that. Sure, we'll play easier with Pau on court, hopefully that will happen early.
Right now, we're a 4-men-show: Kobe, Artest, Odom & Drew. Fisher was a walking mess last night...'till he made the steal to seal the win. Only Farmar and Powell made something valuable coming from the bench.
Artest vs Ariza was a dogfight, as expected; both had a lot to show each other. I think that, at the end, Artest did it a bit better.
Big game from Drew...well, maybe not so big if we remember that Houston has no big guy inside. But 17+17+5+3 must be in PJax's dreams for all the season.
Shooting problems for Lamar...but, in our situation, he has to shoot.
So we won another one, 4-1 after two games on the road, time to get some rest back at home, maybe having Pau back...it's a long road guys, and we're just starting it.
Wow, i have just discovered that Drew is injured again...hope he'll be fine for the Memphis (Memphis, again?. Better Mbenga starting ) game, 'cause i don´t think rushing Pau's return was a good idea. |

| Artest and Ariza did score 15 points apiece, BUT! Ariza took a lot more shots then Artest to score those 15 points. So I would have to say that Artest played a lot better then Ariza. Ariza did make a clutch shot, but so did Artest. |

Lakers beat Rockets but Ariza vs. Artest was no contest
Trevor Ariza looked like he was trying too hard to out perform Ron Artest during the Lakers visit to Houston last night.
Ariza was stunned this summer when he claims his agent wasn't told the Lakers' offer to keep him was take-it-or-leave-it.
Within hours he got the message when the Lakers announced an agreement with Ron Artest for the money Ariza turned down.
Rather than shopping himself around to see what the market would bring he agreed to the same deal with Artest's former team on the same day. As the TV broadcasters said last night, it was a case of trading places.
His shooting percentage was less than stellar (5 for 21) ending up with 15 points, down from his early season average of 23. But he sank the tying three-pointer on a patented stop and shoot move to get his team to overtime.
In OT, Derek Fisher pulled an Ariza move by poking the ball away from the Houston forward as the clock ran out for a Lakers victory by the score of 103-102.
Ron Artest didn't have to exact revenge on his former team. He's so happy he landed in the lap of Los Angeles that he got all dolled up for the occasion. He has yet a new hair cut that features more Chinese characters. He scored 15 points just like Ariza on 6 of 14 shooting.
But he couldn't help making his own kind of statement as he rolled out a move that punctuated his clutch three-pointer that came just prior to Ariza's tying shot. As Rockets coach Rick Adelman called a time out to get his team focused, Artest struck a pose at mid-court using the time out signal as he faced the Houston fans.
After the overtime victory he told KCAL 9's John Ireland that since he's a big football fan he decided to bring a touchdown celebration to the NBA. Except it wasn't a touch down and his three pointer was matched by the Ariza shot only seconds later.
And then we got a taste of what will come out of this excitable man's mouth. Artest coined a new phrase, telling Ireland that when he hit a key three-pointer on a pass from Kobe he was "semi-wide open.". We have 77 games to go in the regular season and I'm sure he's got plenty more where that came from. He has set the bar high after game 5.

| I like what Artest thinks and appreciates playing for the Lakers. We have some players that just don't give a hoot wheather they play good or not. The Lakers should get rid of them and fast. I don't care if the Lakers lose some games, as long as they give it their best. But when you know that you are in a talented team and you don't try your best, then it is time to move on. |

Cobbler, your not too smart are you.. you saw the rest of ariza's stat line.. 9reb.. 5 assists ? Forget the shooting, he was being guard by Kobe and Artest virtually. Ofcourse he is gonna shoot a horrible percentage. The whole argument is not who is the better player.. but who is the better player for the team. Still maintain we shoulda kept the younger, more athletic ariza. His game has developed and he will get better.
Did you see ron ron get blocked last night? he could barely get up off the floor. But ok, he is a tough SOB and he hasn;t done something dumb yet and we did get him for the mid level. So lets pray he doesn't do something retarded..lets pray he doesn't do something dumb
Again with the personal attack? Haven't you learned how bad you are making yourself look?
Artest 6-14 (42%), 3-7 3pt (42%), 6 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 to
Ariza 5-21 (23%), 2-7 3pt (28%), 9 reb, 5 ast, 0 stl, 3 to
Ill take Rons numbers any day so i must be stupid as you imply.
Sooo you have argued for years that we are too soft and dont play D. Now you excuse Trevors horrendous game because we got tougher and played better D yet we are worse off as a team for swapping players. Im sorry...but my stupidity limits my comprehension of these circular arguments.
If Artest would have shot 5-21 tonight you would be all over this board saying you told us so and you know it. But you can't..... so you use comments like "he will get better". Please tell me how you know this... I'm all ears.
I'm gonna say this again, everytime you attack me.. im gonna attack you, deal with it....
So... I make a post about basketball refering to your post. Nothing said to you in a personal manner at all. You tell me how this is an attack on you?

5-21
Give me a break. He stunk it up tonight and you just cant let it go that we improved with the accusition of Ron. Funny you didnt mention his 3 he made seconds before.
....and what about the TIMELY turnover without even getting off the last shot? No mention of that either.
You then turn it personl (AGAIN) and call me stupid and justify that by saying I attacked you?
Wow! Just WOW! |

you just on me, aren't you..
It's a compliment. I was being sincere. I give you enough grief for your 95% negative posts... I though I would point out one of your few positive ones. Geeeeeeeeez.
Are you ever happy?
And yes... I am going to be on you when you post stupid stuff. Just like i said I would when you PM'ed me and told me to bring it on followed by the personal slurs and cussing. Get used to it. |

| Urkle9 and Cobbler have been banned from the site- I think we're all tired of these guys bickering at each other like that. Now they can go and duke it out via some other medium. I definitely had a lot of patience with this. |

| I thought we would have a season where we would develop some quality depth on this team. Since it's starting out like we have NO depth whatsoever, I guess I was wrong. If Kobe has to continue to be on the floor over 90% of the time for us to win, then we could be in for some real trouble down the road. Yes.. he's a warrior.. but he can break down too. Somebody please step up and act like you're worthy of being in the NBA. |

wow....i was here to just read some good insight and i got fighting lol anyways, phil lost so much trust in the bench mob because they dont have odom! Remember odom was the key and heart and drive of the bench mob guys.....N REMEMBER WHEN BYNUM WENT DONW, odom took the starrting job at pf and the bench suffer GREATLY.......! like i said this b4, bynum and gasol and odom hold the key for us to have success in games..if they get injured we are kinda s crew, sorry but yea, we can miss kobe but we got gasol,bynum,artest,odom, but if we lost our big 3 frontcourt guys, then we lose our depth...
i am not worry at all, because when everybody is healthy, we are good to go guys, have positive attitudes and remember if u a re a laker reported in LA or just a sports reported
REMIND PHIL TO GIVE MORE BREAKS TO KOBE, BYNUM AND ODOM....i dont mine losing games anymore, no joke guys but i rather lose 2 or 3 games than to have more injures...bynum got hurt because of minutes and that would not happend if he rested more |

I definitely agree Omar,
Phil should give the starters a few more breathers when the lead isn't too big, like 5-8 points, and then if it gets close, throw a starter back into the lineup to give us immediate offense.
it'll hopefully keep injuries at bay |
