Lakers Preseason Update
A few thoughts that I take away from watching bits and pieces of Thursday night's Lakers/Warriors preseason game:- It is GREAT to see D-Fish in the purple and gold again. So many memories... bring back the good times D, bring back the good times.
- Andrew Bynum is severely outplayed by Austin Croshere on about 6 successive trips up and down the court. Yikes.
- Troy Hudson and Sheryl Swoopes look identical from 100 some-odd feet away.
- George Karl's son, Coby, has great court vision, a decent handle on the ball, and looks just like the guy that delivered pizza to me a few hours ago.
- Phil Jackson looks 5 years older than he did a few months ago.
- Kobe is quite a bit leaner than last year, seems very agile and ready to rumble. No matter what team he plays for.
- It's weird to see Chris Mihm in something other than a suit, doing something other than watch from the sidelines.
- Jackie Johnson, KCAL 9's weather girl, is pretty freakin' hot. Channel 9 knew exactly what they were doing when they paid for a promo spot for JUST their weather segment.
- The Warriors' Marco Belinelli looks a bit like Adrian Brody with serious game.
- Lakers assistant coach Frank Hamblen is wearing hot pink reading glasses. I'm really hoping this is his way of saying "Aloha from Hawaii" to the peeps watching back home. I'll pay for Lasic eye surgery Frank, please just leave them on the sandy shores of Waikiki. Seriously.
- New hairstyles for the new season: Sasha Vujacic now sports a full-bodied, FIFA Europe-esque mop begging for a promotional offer from Pert Plus, and Jordan Farmar shaved his dome down to a very gangster "barely there" fuzz.

Fun thing about being on the East coast: Lakers training camp in Hawaii means Laker games start at 10:00 pm PST, or 1:00 am EST. That sucks.
How has Vlad Radmanovic led the Lakers in scoring both games?

I got home from class at 10:00 last night, turned on the TV, and saw the game. I was pleasantly surprised, but I'm pretty sure that I was one of maybe 50 viewers tuning into the game.
As far as Big Vladdy Raddy's utter dominance in the first two games, allow me to explain. From the game I saw, he plays a bulk of his minutes alongside rookies and other players that are depending on this pre-season to claim a share of the minutes come regular season, and in some cases to just grab a roster spot. Most of these guys are guards (Coby Karl, Javaris Crittenton, Sasha Vujacic, Jordan Farmar) whose job is to facilitate the offense. And which Lakers player is cutting to the basket or spotting up for a jumper on nearly every play down the court with these guys? Your main man Vlad-Rad. He's basically just on the receiveing end of prospective PG's efforts to show that they're unselfish. Can you tell I'm not a Radmanovic fan?
