More motion maybe earlier on in the game would have put us over the hump. We only had our comeback in the 4th, when they started to mix it up and help Timmy out.
You saw the game - was there another viable option? Manu can't play his game, he's hurt. They've got Tony Parker under house arrest. Tim's the only person we've got right now capable of creating anything.Timmy wasn't going to do it all by himself. Pop kept calling a ty offense as well. Forced it through Timmy, etc.

Again, if Manu is hurt, then don't play. If he plays, don't make being hurt an excuse for incompetence.
That's not on Pop - it's on the players.More motion maybe earlier on in the game would have put us over the hump. We only had our comeback in the 4th, when they started to mix it up and help Timmy out.
For years, Tim would pass it out of the post and 2 or 3 passes later we'd get an open shooter out of it. Lately, the ball comes out of the post and it stops. No more passes. The execution just hasn't been as sharp.
Single-cell analysis.Again, if Manu is hurt, then don't play. If he plays, don't make being hurt an excuse for incompetence.
Timmie won't shoot as well from the line as well as he did in Game 5. Book it.
Kobe is playing with a broken pinkie that has his medical staff suggesting/demanding surgery. Nobody blamed it on that when the Lakers lost Game 3. At least not from this Laker fan.
True, but it's kind of predictable, Phil knows how to counter Timmy passing out of a double team.
Phil Jackson knows how to make due with his crap. I'm sure our squad has a certain level that they've yet to play up to, in terms of shooters.
Anyway, there were a lot of controllable mistakes from all our players that made Timmy work even harder to carry us...
Is everyone from LA this dumb? Jay Leno has a never ending supply of really, really ignorant people to ask questions when he goes out on the streets of LaLaLand. I am still waiting to see if anyone from California even has an IQ. Sheeeeeesh, start watching the game and have yo' momma read you Basketball For Dummies!!! Put a healthy Sasha up against a healthy Manu and Sasha would be eating dirt and dust. Your silly statement would be like a Spurs fan saying Bowen has Kobe's number. Get a life, kid!!!
Pop was forced to play him almost the entire game, otherwise we would've lost by 20...
That's not Pop's fault... that's on the guys who were on the court when Tim was taking a breather.
Tim showed up huge, and so did Brent, and Tony for moments... mad props for them.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Your analysis comes with emotionally loaded terms like "blame" and "excuses". I look for "reasons".Kobe is playing with a broken pinkie that has his medical staff suggesting/demanding surgery. Nobody blamed it on that when the Lakers lost Game 3. At least not from this Laker fan.
For example, it's not an "excuse" to say that Karl Malone's knee injury was a blow to the Lakers' pursuit of the 2004 championship. Instead, I think losing him may have been the most significant "reason" they didn't win.
But you and others like you adopt the language of the athlete as though you are involved somehow. Well, apart from yelling things at opposing FTs at Staples, you have nothing at all to do with the final score. Therefore, it's better to look for "factors" and "reasons" behind the outcomes of games. Otherwise, when you "blame" a particular player for this or that, it sounds like you're putting yourself on the roster and making it clear that you had nothing to do with the loss. (In a sense, you're right)
God damn man, go get a ing tissue already and wipe your nose.Is everyone from LA this dumb?

Stop crying on your keyboard already pussbag.
I rest my case! What idiot's you people are! Must be the smog you inhale!
G'nite kid...
Ironic that a guy calling someone else an idiot, can't even use proper punctuation. Dip , maybe you should inhale some smog, because you're pretty ing stupid without it.
Go back to your tinker toys and get some real game.

LMAO!!! I'm posting to some kid in pre-school. Does your mommy make you take your blanket to school?
What a waste of my time. I'm going to bed...!
Do you know what "literally" means?
Are you saying he physically laid down on the floor? Otherwise, he didn't literally lay it all out on the floor. It's a figurative saying.
We already used up the mommy jokes. Go for something new there Einstein.
Absolutely agree!
