Ariza

Thoughts on today's game:
I felt like the Lakers could have been more consistent for the first half they played with excellent defense and aggressive offense. Their lead was by far recognized by everyone, but they started to fall apart in between, then Nuggets and Melo started to just keep hitting the shots and the Lakers could rebound. I feel like the plays were ridiculously towards the last half. It comes down to my love/hate relationship with Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic and Andrew Bynum. As players, I don't think they're playing to their full potential and they can certainly be replaced by Jordan Farmar, Josh Powell, and Kwame Brown, who offensively and defensively have been playing fiercely especially Jordan Farmar who as a point guard is on point as far as hitting the threes. Secondly, through my baby Trevor Ariza played excellently in Game 1, he was a very off on tonight's game. He needs to step it up. Kobe needs to watch his mouth, another technical isn't good for his game. Gasol and Odom are doing their "thang" as far as getting the ball in and defense. GG, except Gasol really needs to work on his free throws for the next game. They're going to foul you Mi Amor, be ready for it. Who's missing. Oh Yes D-Fish. No more risky shots, do what you must to get it in the hoop, no fancy dunks or over the top plays, get it in, score, its all that matters. Guard Smith, Martin and of course Melo and Billups. They are the biggest challenges and as long as they are either guarded and or screened while shooting (as you can see from Melo's shooting in the the first half) they can't make it in. Just continuously hustle throughout the game and don't let your guards down.

That is all. :)

Happy Summer

Dear Lakers,
Please be more consistent and don't mess with my emotions with the up and down games. I don't appreciate it at all.
Love,
Ida

P.S. Be aware Nuggets, we're coming to Denver.
