Utah Jazz @ LA Lakers Tues Oct 6th

[MT Steve]

Lots of great stuff tonight. It's obvious Pleiss isn't ready to play in the NBA. We're going to have to keep Withey and Cooley, and eat the losses on Pleiss' deal. He is too weak.

A bit premature, isn't this?

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

Wow we were up 31 to 12 early on!

Also thought Pleiss getting benched for Withey interesting. It was clearly because Pleiss wasnt playing well and seemed to be getting overwhelmed (and the whole still not knowing about basket interference).

Also Pleiss 3pt attempt was awful. That shot is so slow, far from unreal mechanics.

He's at least good enough to be a third string center, even right off the boat.

Also had something to do with the Lakers keeping their starting center in for almost the whole damn game.

Not sure what that has to do with Withey playing over Pleiss, but sure.

Also, you really can't make fun of the Lakers for playing Hibbert a lot when we played our starting SG nearly 40 minutes.

 

[VINYLONE]

Chances that Pleiss is a stiff are pretty good.

Sure we can, our starting SG hasn't played basketball in almost a year.

Sure you can. I didn't see the Lakers resting their best 3 players.

Might make for some trade fodder down the line.

What about his game leads you to say that? Perhaps after a year with an NBA strength and conditioning program he will look different. He's too slow and physically weak to make up for his lack of athleticism.

Nah, I really think he just needs to get a little bit stronger and use to the NBA game.

It took Ingles 4 months to learn how to shoot NBA 3 pointers, it's going to take Pleiss sometime to adjust too.

Do the Lakers even have a player who is as good as our best 3? It's not like they have anyone worth resting other than Kobe, everyone else needs practice. They did however go without Russell for most of the game and Kobe was restricted (though less than the 1st game). If you add all the starters minutes up on each side, the Lakers only played their starters 4 more minutes (if my math is right, Im tired as ish).

Ingles is generally pretty bad. Pleiss is bum status unfortunately.

So what day is this game again?

So you think playing with a different rule for like 10 years doesn't have an impact on your habits? Especially when other than travelling it's not a situation that happens in every possession but only in a couple per game?

Definitely disagree on bum status. He has done some things well each game, he just has a lot to learn.

Uhhh, when did I say that?
