Week 2 (5. November - 11. November)

Sto si toliko siguran? Zbog trougla?

Zbog trougla, a i zbog toga sto on forsira tu half court kosarku bez trcanja, nema tranzicije. Da se razumemo, ne mogu Lakers-i da trce kao Miami i OKC i jesu matori, ali opet imaju pored Nash-a, Kobe-a, Pau-a i Dwight-a koji bez problema mogu da trce. Lakers-i su za vreme prethodnog Phil-ovog mandata protivnike tipa Bobacats-i, GSW, NOH koje su morali da dobiju sa 20 i vise razlike, dobijali u poslednjem posedu bas zbog nedostatka lakih poena. Onda postoji jos jedna stvar, zasto Lebron sutira konstantno preko 50% iz igre? Zato sto on na svakoj utakmici ima od 6-8 lakih poena koja se zavrsavaju kucanjem. On u proseku ubaci 9 suteva na utakmici, a od toga 3 FG-a su iz istrcanih kontri. Isti slucaj je i sa KD-om. Mislim, nije slucajno sto su Miami i OKC igrali prosle godine u finalu, pogledaj koju oni kosarku forsiraju. Pogledaj onaj Dallas od pre 2 godine kako je osvojio... Jesu se njima sve kockice slozile i jesu sipali sa svih pozicija, ali oni su unistili Lakers-e u tranziciji, pa su posle isamarali Heat zaustavivsi tu istu tranziciju i naterali su ih da igraju half court kosarku, sto ovima nikako nije odgovaralo. Kosarka stalno evoluira, pre 3 godine si mogao da uzmes titulu forsirajuci half court napad sa malo trcanja, a sada je to malo teze, timovi su drugacije konstruisani, tako da moras da se prilagodjavas njima.

As Lakers meet w/ Phil Jackson today, they've declined meetings w/ any other candidates, source says. "They're all in on Phil," source says.

[Monta Ellis #11]

LeBron James (sore knee) expects to play on Sunday.
LeBron banged knees with Josh Smith on Friday and he admitted his knee feels "stiff," but he should remain in all active lineups. "He's not 100 percent," said Erik Spoelstra. "He's fighting through some nagging issues and [the knee] is one of them. But it hasn't stopped him working, it hasn't stopped him from practicing or games yet. We're just trying to manage it."

Mike D'Antoni says he's a 'perfect fit' for Lakers

Phil Jackson likely to accept Lakers' offer
Phil Jackson is expected to accept the Lakers' head coaching job in the coming days "unless something dramatic happens," according to the New York Times.
The Lakers have conducted phone interviews with fallback options Mike D'Antoni and Mike Dunleavy, but that's merely a precaution. There's mutual interest between Jackson and L.A., and the Lakers will give the Zen Master whatever he wants, such as limited travel for road games and a massive annual salary.

Dwyane Wade (illness) practiced fully on Saturday and will play in Sunday's game vs. the Grizzlies.
"I just got a virus going around my house," Wade said. "It started with my kids first and went to all of us." He's been supremely efficient through five games, averaging 20.4 points on 57 percent FGs and 83 percent FTs

-Oklahoma ce pokusati da upise cetvrtu pobedu zaredom nad mladom i izuzetnom talentovanom ekipom Cleveland Cavaliers-a. Obe ekipe nisu igrale sinoc tako da su odmorne za vecerasnji duel.

Sto se tice match-up-a prve petorke, u velikoj vecini aspekata je Oklahoma u prednosti. Na mestu playmaker-a sa jedne strane se nalazi Russell Westbrook koji nije na najbolji nacin ortvorio ovu sezonu. Ima mizernih 36,5 % suta iz igre sto je za cak 6% manje gledajuci dosadasnju njegovu karijeru. Takav procenat jedan all-star igrac sebi ne sme da dozvoli. Najveca mana mu je losa selekcija suta, kao i nedovoljna oprezost prilikom igranjna defanzive i direktan je krivac za poraz od Spurs-a. Sa druge strane nalazi se potencijalni all-star igrac Kyrie Irving koji je trenutno cetvrti strelac lige i glavna je udarna snaga Cavaliers-a. Zahvaljujuci cestoj neopreznoscu Westbrok-a u odbrani, moze predstavljati ogromnu opasnost po kos Oklahome, kako kroz sut tako i preko prodora.

Na poziciji SG-a imacemo interesantan duel Kevin-a Martin-a (koji ce uci sa klupe ali imati vecu minutazu od Sefolosha-e) i Dion-a Waiters-a, 2 ne bas tako sjajna defanzivca, ali odlicna sutera. Martin je igrac koji je majstor za iznudjivanje slobodnih bacanja, tako da to oruzje moze dobro veceras da iskoristi. Waiters ima strasan prvi korak, izuzetno je brz i odlicno sutira spolja, tako da ce i Martin imati svojih muka. Martin zasad dosledno zamenjuje Harden-a i polako se oslobadja pritiska i ogromne paznje koja se posvecuje njegovoj roli u ekipi.

Sto se tice niskog krila, Kevin Durant je u svim aspektima iznad Gee-a. Impozantna je cinjenica da Durant belezi ove sezone cak 11 skokova u proseku sto ga stavlja na cetvrtu poziciju skakaca, a na prvu poziciju sto se tice SG-a. Ove sezone malo vise razigrava igrace u odnosu na proslu, a malo manje napada kos. Belezi samo 22 poena u proseku, ali treba ocekivati da se ta brojka znatno poveca u nastavku sezone. Kevin u ovom duelu ne bi trebao imati nikakvih problema.

Duel Ibaka-e i Thompson-a ce biti izuzetno zanimljiv. Ibaka je ove sezone pokazao da moze biti ogromna pretnja spolja, ali mora popraviti ulaz. Sut ima sasvim dobar i dovoljno je dobar za njegovu poziciju. Takodje mora popraviti i odbranu 1 na 1, jer odredjene nedostatke, oni jaci i bolji igraci umeju odlicno da iskoriste, pa ga onda cine samo odlicnim defanzivcem iz drugog plana. Pokazao je da moze biti i drugi igrac u timu kada je to neophodno. Thompson sa druge strane je ove sezone napokon dobio minutazu i u dobroj mogucnosti da pokaze ono sto zna ali veceras to nece biti tako lako pored odlicnog Ibaka-e. Velika mana su mu slobodna vacanja koja izvodi sa mizernih 50% sto se moze dodatno iskoristiti.

Na najvisoj poziciji u timu imamo okrsaj 2 sasvim pristojna defanzivca ali je Varejao u prednosti sto se tice napada tako da ce mnogo vise muka imati Perkins sa Varejao-om nego obrnuto. Ako Varejao bude imao dobro vece, eto problema za tim iz Oklahome.

Generalno, Oklahoma je izraziti favorit protiv momaka iz Cleveland-a. Kada se pogledaju klupe, lako se moze videti da je prednosti na strani Oklahome. Sve ukazuje na laku pobedu Thunder-a ali vec jednom tu prednost nisu iskoristili tako da se Cavliers-i imaju cemu nadati. Ocekuje nas veoma zanimljiv mec.(Tekst by: Colke995)

Lakers Hire Mike D'Antoni

Lakers spokesman John Black confirmed on Sunday night that the team has signed Mike D'Antoni to a multi-year contract.

The team is expected to have a press conference to announce the deal most likely on Tuesday or Wednesday of the coming week.

According to Black, Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss, executive vice president Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak were unanimous that D'Antoni was the best coach for the team at this time.

Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash both expressed support for the idea of playing for D'Antoni, who was Nash's coach in Phoenix when the point guard won consecutive MVP awards in 2005 and 2006.
