By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) Ariza only averaged more than 20 mpg once in his first four seasons. During that time, he displayed little ability to shoot the ball (3FG% of .278 or lower each year, FT% of .695 or lower each year) or to create a shot for himself or others; he served primarily as an athletic, energetic role player who could finish very well at the rim and play solid defense against perimeter players. Then in 2008-09 he played in all 82 games for the first time in his career, logging a career-high 20 regular season starts--including the final 19 games of the season. Ariza also started all 23 playoff games as the Lakers won the NBA Championship. Although his free throw shooting was still subpar at best (.710 FT% in the regular season, .563 FT% in the playoffs), he improved...   [read the full post]

By J.E. Skeets Funny and/or unsportsmanlike moment from Sunday's Rockets-Lakers game, depending which laundry you cheer for: Trevor Ariza(notes) loses his red ruby sneaker during an early defensive possession. Ron Artest(notes), always looking to capitalize on others' wardrobe malfunctions,...

By J.E. Skeets Jonathan Feigen, Houston Chronicle: "Rockets guard Trevor Ariza(notes) received his Lakers championship ring, along with a duplicate for his 19-month old son Tajh, from Los Angeles stars Kobe Bryant(notes) and Derek Fisher(notes) in a ceremony before Sunday night's tip-off at Sta...

Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle: "This was why Trevor Ariza came to Houston, for nights like these. It was not that he wanted to beat the Lakers, though he seemed to enjoy that as much as a very classy pregame ceremony in which Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher gave him his championship ri...

Ron Artest left the Houston Rockets to sign with a Los Angeles Lakers team he felt gave him the best chance to finally win a ring. Houston, though, is now playing at a high level without Artest and two other superstars - and with former Laker Trevor Ariza. Artest returns to the Toyota Center on W...

By Ramona Shelburne Every player wants to grow. Every player has goals,'' Ariza told the Chronicle. ``Every player wants to be the best player he can be. In L.A., they have so many great, great players. Kobe is the best player in the NBA, arguably ever. Pau Gasol. Lamar Odom. Andrew Bynum is coming into his own.

By alleyoop It’s hard to believe but the Lakers have gotten even better over the summer. That’s because they signed SG/SF Ron Artest away from the Rockets. They lost Trevor Ariza to the Rockets in free agency and both players are being paid the same amount as this essentially looks like a trade that the La...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) 1) Ariza proved that he could accept his limited role, while Artest has often tried to be his team's number one offensive option even when he had teammates who were better suited to do so. Clearly, Bryant should be the Lakers' number one offensive option and Pau Gasol should be the number two offensive option. Lamar Odom has flourished as the third option but the shot distribution dynamic will be interesting to watch in 2009-10; will Odom accept possibly dropping to the fourth option and will Artest be content as either the third or fourth option? This was not an issue with Ariza because he knew that he could not create shots, but Artest likes to have the ball in his hands even though his shot selection can be highly questionable at times. Ideall...   [read the full post]

By dberri It all began when the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol.  At the time Andrew Bynum was still hurt.  But I argued that once Bynum was healthy, the Lakers with Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Bynum (as well as Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom), would be the favorites to win the NBA title.  That was my argument in the midst o...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) People often speak of someone "making his teammates better" but it is not clear what this actually means or how one would go about doing this in the first place. I have declared that instead of that vague phrase I prefer to say, "Great players create openings and opportunities for their lesser talented teammates to do what they do well." However, an excellent article by Kevin Ding discusses how Bryant literally made his teammates better by coaching them and even sharing with them detailed workout programs/practice regimens. Ding's article is not about Bryant drawing double teams and creating shot opportunities, though Bryant obviously does that on a regular basis; Ding reports that Trevor Ariza traces his dramatic improvement as a th...   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Pau Gasol had 23 points on 9-11 field goal shooting but grabbed just three rebounds in 39:47. Trevor Ariza scored 13 points and had a team-high seven rebounds but shot just 5-13 from the field. Lamar Odom had just 11 points and two rebounds in 32:23, while Jordan Farmar chipped in 11 points in 15:56 off of the bench. Derek Fisher had solid numbers (nine points, two assists, no turnovers) but was burned repeatedly by Alston. If the Lakers truly are a deep team, nine-time champion Coach Phil Jackson apparently does not realize it because other than Odom and Farmar only three other reserves saw action and that trio combined to play fewer than 15 minutes--and listing Odom as a bench player is really just a matter of semantics because he plays starter...   [read the full post]

Lakers lose in Atlanta. Phil, Ariza, Pau and Kobe talk to the media in their locker-room.

By Jaime Quintanilla David and G come to you on this Friday to discuss the Lakers clinching of the Pacific Division title.

By Massacre There was a run in the 4th quarter (when Phil put the tall trees lineup of Radmanovic, Ariza, Odom, Bynum and Powell in) that the Spurs went completely flat offensively. During that time the Lakers didn’t cash in on it, they too went flat, shooting almost every shot from 8 feet or more out with...

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) Trevor Ariza forced a turnover and received a nice return pass from Odom for a fast break layup that put the Lakers up, 107-103. The Knicks answered with jumpers by Wilson Chandler and David Lee sandwiched around a Lakers turnover. After a timeout, the Lakers ran another Bryant-Bynum screen/roll and Bynum was fouled after Bryant drew the double-team and fed him the ball in the paint. This was a non-shooting foul--though it did put New York into the penalty--and after the inbounds pass the Lakers went back to the Bryant-Bynum screen/roll. Bryant passed to Odom at the foul line but Bynum fumbled Odom's feed and the Knicks stole the ball. Fisher stole the ball from Robinson and drove coast to coast, drawing a foul. Fisher sank both free throws but L...   [read the full post]

By kambrothers Much talk these days among Lakers fans has centered around the slump currently endured by the heavily exalted Bench Mob.

By Massacre Jackson said it comes down to styles of play. The starters need Radmanovic’s outside shooting threat to open space for reigning league MVP Kobe Bryant, who faces a seemingly endless string of double-teams. “It was almost a perfect situation because guys like Kobe, (Derek) Fisher and Pau (...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) One of the biggest stories in the NBA this season has been the Lakers' improved defense but you wouldn't believe that if this was the only Lakers' game you've seen; during Laker Coach Phil Jackson's postgame standup, someone asked him what he did not like about the Lakers' defense versus Indiana and Jackson replied, "Everything." The Lakers led 88-86 when Bryant went to the bench with 2:07 remaining in the quarter. This time, the bench player performed well without him: Jordan Farmar scored on a drive to the hoop, then penetrated to the hoop and delivered a behind the back feed to Bynum for a dunk. Inspector Gadget--I mean Ariza--got a steal and a slam, Sasha Vujacic drilled a three pointer and Bynum scored a reverse dunk on an alley oop feed fr...   [read the full post]

By dberri Looking at these numbers we see four players - Gasol, Bryant, Bynum, and Ariza - who have surpassed the 0.200 threshold in both 2008-09 and 2007-08.  Two more players - Farmar and Vujacic - have above average marks in both seasons.  And two more players - Odom and Radmanovic - were above averag...

By Massacre DALLAS (AP)— Trevor Ariza turned an offensive rebound into an emphatic, go-ahead dunk early in the fourth quarter and Kobe Bryant quickly stretched the lead, sending the Los Angeles Lakers to a 106-99 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

By Nate Jones As well, the second unit for the Lakers is filled with talented cats that fit in with Lamar's skill set. Trevor Ariza, Jordan Farmar, and Sasha Vujacic all like to apply pressure on defense, and get out and push the ball on offense. Lamar will thrive playing next to those three.

By kambrothers The Lakers, as you may have heard, played the Finals at less than full strength. Trevor Ariza was limited coming back from foot problems, and Andrew Bynum was in a suit on the sidelines. Both are back, both are healthy and confident in the state of their once-injured body parts, and the expect...

By Tom Ziller No matter if Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, Luke Walton or Vlad Radmanovic start the small forward, Bynum combines with Pau Gasol to create one of the best rebounding lines in the NBA. All those problems competing on the glass against Boston? Gone, just because of Bynum's presence (and its bump...

By Nissan Once Trevor got into the game there was an immediate change in Pierce’s approach on offense. Ariza has a better ability to space and recover from that space on defense than Radmanovic and that ability to get in and then back off of Pierce had Pierce pushing the ball off to someone else along th...

By David Friedman The big difference that everyone can see with this year's team is that young center Andrew Bynum has turned into a legitimate double-double threat. A difference that is perhaps not as noticed by the casual fan but is also very important is the switch at starting point guard from the unreliable Smush Parker to the steady Derek Fisher, who played on three championship teams with Bryant. The Lakers' bench has played very well so far and was strengthened by the acquisition of Trevor Ariza, who adds length, athletic ability and defense. Will the bench maintain this level of play throughout the season? When--not if--injuries hit, can one or more of the bench players temporarily move into the starting lineup without the team suffering a drop in p...   [read the full post]
