Lakers news 2/27/15

Paul George is doing great he is actually coming back earlier then what everybody expected he participated and went through his first full day of practice since august 1st it is great to see him starting to get back on the court and doing things with the team he is my second favorite player in the NBA and he is eyeing a come back this season it would be awesome to see him play but i think he should just wait it out and come back next season because the injury he is going to come back from usually takes a full year of recovery.


the Pacers are doing good without Paul George but since he may come back this season they are saying that he could really help them out and get them to the playoffs he will be the spurt of energy they will really need to win a championship contend with Lebron James and the Cavs if Paul George does come back this season it think he will be the biggest challenge for the Cavs since they are eyeing to take it all this year Paul George and the Pacers may be the team to stop them from winning my opinion is i think they can do it and be the best team in the east.


Kobe has finally let it out why him and Dwight Howard never got a long he said that Dwight wasn't used to how Kobe ran the locker room he said that he didn't think that Dwight was comfortable in the locker room and he wasn't up for the challenge of trying for a championship howard is comfortable with a laid back approach while Kobe is old school style where he takes the game a seriously as any player there was a lot of talk about why Dwight and Kobe didn't get along everybody was wondering why Kobe never said anything until now.


Byron Scott got on the bus after the game and went on Instagram and saw that there were fans posting saying that they hope the Lakers tank this year because if they do end up with the worst record in the NBA they have a better chance at getting a good draft pick which they are already looking at the top 5 but Byron Scott said the Lakers have no intention on doing that they are going to try to win as many games as they could and what ever happens with the lottery in the draft happens they aren't going to purposely lose just to get a good pick in the draft.


Byron scott said that he plans to put Lin back into the starting line up within the next week he started the first 20 games of the season but Scott put him back on the bench i'm guessing because he didn't like Lin's performance in some of the games and he also said that he feels like Lin does better when he comes off the bench i don't really know how Lin has been doing because i haven't been able to watch the Lakers games lately because they play on a network that i don't have so i just keep up to date on Sportscenter when i go home.

Possibilites

They say the Lakers are stuck in the Stone Age they got a point guard that just recently had a good season with the Knicks and they say that he is a good player when i comes to driving to the rim and getting himself an easy shot around the bucket but he struggled shooting from the left wing and shooting off the dribble the Rockets are also considered one of the most aggressive teams in the NBA not only in the NBA but in all sports the rockets traded Lin to the Lakers last off season.


The Lakers threw a big celebration when they won against the Celtics on Monday it was just their 14th win of the season and they decided to do that Byron scott wasn't happy about it neither was Kobe Bryant who is sidelined with an injury for the rest of the year, they had confetti and Jeremy Lin was doing an interview after the game when Nick Young, Carlos Boozer, and also Jordan Hill they came over and interrupted the interview and yelling saying they were happy about the win Byron Scott got back to the Lakers facility in the morning after watching it when he got home that night and told the guys he was not happy about what they did saying that he was disappointed with them and that isn't how you show respect for the team.


Rondo and the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks got into a huge argument where Rick Carlisle and Rondo argued through the time out and then the coach sat the superstar for the last 20 minutes of the game they just got Rondo not to long ago from the Boston Celtics everybody thinks that this is all it is going to take for Rondo to say i don't like it here time for a change of scenery and one of the teams that Rondo has a chance of going to is the Lakers i guess i think that he would be a good fit for the Lakers i'm not to sure but i think that i saw that Jeremy Lin wont be coming back to the Lakers next season so they will definitely need a new star at the Point Guard position lets just see what Rondo decides to do after the season.

Nick Young update

Nick Young has been having a hard time this season with not getting the minutes he wants because coach Byron Scott feels like he hasn't been playing like himself out there but he should be the missing piece for the Lakers right now since he was the back up for Kobe and he has showed that he can be a great player but it isn't his fault that he cant pick the Lakers up right now he is coming off an injury he twisted his ankle against the trail Blazers and later found out that he had a left peroneal tendon strain he is expected to return on Friday.

Lakers need help

they say that this is the Lakers weakest unit i think it is kinda true because they havent been doing that well this year they need new players to fill in roles that they need improvement they are saying that the only positions that are filled and wont need to change is SG and PF they are being held by Kobe and Julius Randle the other positions need players that will be a good fit and actually do good for the Lakers said the rest of the roster is a Flux Nick Young will still be a back up behind Kobe next year he should be a big part of the team right now with Kobe being out.

Lakers chances

The Lakers have a chance to get a top five pick from the draft if they lose the last 35 games of the season they have a 19.9% chance to get the 1st overall pick in the draft if they get the second worst record in the NBA but it is complicating they need teams to win and if they dont win then they Lakers have less of a chance to get into the top five picks in the draft if they dont then the future of the team will be ruined from what kupchak was saying.

Lakers future

The Lakers can get 4 draft picks in the next NBA draft because they got some from other teams which they would use to get younger talent and also including different players from free agency they could be a good team next year i am hoping so i want to see the Lakers in the playoffs again it would be awesome because i havent seen them in the playoffs in a while ever since they got taken out by the Oklahoma Thunder so hopefully the team will be able to at least give Kobe a fighting chance for another championship.

Carlos Boozer is staying with the Lakers

Carlos Boozer has decided to stay with the Lakers he had the option to buyout of his contract and enter free agency and maybe get picked up by a team that is contending in the playoffs but he decided to stay with the Lakers even though the Lakers are no where near in being in the Playoffs he is a good player even though the coach has decided to keep him as a bench player where he is with the second string he is averaging 12.5 points and 7 rebounds and shooting 51.6% from the field i'm guessing he will not be back with the lakers next season because of how bad they did this year he will probably go to free agency instead of signing an extension.

Kupchak on kobe

Kupchak the GM of the Lakers said that it is time to make a new run and get out of the Kobe era of where they were building off of players that could actually play with him now it is just time to get players that will get them to a contender they said that they dont want to waste 7 years on just trying to build a playoff team that fits Kobe's needs he hasnt talked to Kobe about it he said he doesnt want to because he just went through his surgery on his rotator cuff they just want him to play at the level that he feels most comfortable playing at.

Our first tournament in 20 years

we had three teams come up here to play against us the teams that came up here were the New Stuyahok Eagles, New Halen Malamutes, and the Port Alsworth Lynx all the teams were a great match up we played New Halen and then we played against New Stu and our final game against Port Alsworth we won all three games and got 1st place in our first tournament in 20 years it was great to have all those teams here getting to know new people and also play against new competition all three of those teams put up a great fight the next time we will see the teams is in New Halen for regionals we asked some of the players how they liked it here they all said it was a good experience.

Latest Kobe News

Kobe Bryant said that he could have left Los Angeles but he wanted to stay there so he could win championships he could have left to go to a different team and score 35 points a game but he wanted to stay and contend for championships with Shaq and during that time Phil Jackson was talking about Kobe because he decided to sign an extension with the lakers back in 1999 instead of leaving he said it was infuriating to have his coach talking about him, and back then Kobe was talking about his team mate Shaq saying he was lazy but when they were going through 3 consecutive championships he said that he was a beast and now that Kobe is going through problems with age he understands why Shaq was getting lazy your body starts to feel the wear and tear of going through a long career where you play so many games this was around the time where Shaq was ready to call it and say he was ready to quit ball.


Kobe Bryant has an obsession with reading Harry Potter books he was talking about it in a GQ magazine and he said that he also sets up private visits to the shops in orlando called Harry Potter world his shoe the Nike zoom Kobe VII were named the invisibility cloak he has also named two of his dogs after character or spells from the books, and he also quoted from Harry Potter " Harry Potter had more problems dealing with Voldermort than what we have dealing with the media and the celtics" it also says that Kobe isnt just a fan he is a mega fan.



It is official Kobe is coming back next year for his final year in his contract that will give him 25 million he is going to play his 20th NBA season next year 17 time all star and he is also third in the all time scoring list he is behind Karl Melone and Kareem Abdul Jabbar with one more year it is possible he could pass Karl Melone but it is going to be tough in order to do that he would have to score a little less then 4000 and he is third all time scoring in playoff games trailing behind Michael Jordan and Kareem so he could make history and make it second on both of those.

Ball trip

We played 3 games while we were in Dillingham we played Togiak the first day and we won that game the score was 59-48 it was a good game all of my team mates did a  great job we were all happy with the outcome of the game our second game we played against Dillingham that was an intense game because the home crowd was so loud they said they were barely able to hear our coach from the side line because the crowd was so loud the whole game we kept it close the whole game but we fell a little short at the end the final score was 59-48 Dilligham. Our last game we played of the Sockeye Classics was against Bristol Bay that was a fun game also i was on the bench for the first half and then coach put me in a little into the third quarter we played pretty good that game the final score for that game was 50-47 Bristol Bay.
