Artest hasn't been much better today
ING LUKE WALTON IS GARBAGE
Get this ing CORPSE OFF THE ING FLOOR YOU MORON
God damnit we ing lost in '08 because we had this immobile piece of guarding Pierce the entire time and now you think it's a good idea to keep doing that? REALLY???
Artest hasn't been much better today
Why doesn't Kobe guard him?..
Artest is as equally as bad on defense. At least Walton has some basketball IQ
lol meltdown
Luke Walton is bad, but he didn't lose them this game. The Triangle seems to be MIA. Rarely did more than 2 or maybe 3 players touch the ball, and it became Kobe in ISO.
that assignment would have gone to Matt Barnes but he's out .....
So put in a rookie Ebanks who probably would have gotten three fouls in 15 seconds.
work with what you have ......
It's only the end of January.
Artest shot 1-10 and got skull ed by Pierce, what do you want KFC to do??
You're seriously ing re ed if you're blaming this on Kobe ISO. Or lack of the triangle, which is equally dumb.
This game was lost on the boards and the defensive end. And Phil was coaching like he didn't give a flying today. Went with worst defensive matchups during the 4th. Intentional? We'll see come June.
Drop zen quotes in the media
You realize that when Kobe goes into iso, he scores a lot, but when he doesn't the defensive rebounders know pretty much JUST where they need to be. He spins and pivots, but the ball is pretty much going up from that spot. You make the defenses job easy, including rebounding, when you don't reverse the ball from side to side.
You're basically ing dumb. Thanks for confirming, ChuckD.
The ball was reversed by Kobe plenty and usually ended up back in his hand because the team was too scared to ing shoot.
Phil Jackson: "looked like nobody else wanted too shoot the ball"
Kobe did good job on Pierce in 4th. But thanks to that foul trouble in 1st half he couldn't guard him,we need Barnes back badly
are lakers still coasting?
Lakers need to:
- Start Barnes..since I highly doubt that Phil will ever bench Fisher, the Lakers obviously need a player with some mobility and athleticism in the starting lineup..I don't know how Artest would handle being benched though, so that might be a problem..Barnes is a good enough defender to handle it, even though he's not on Artest's level..Artest can come in the game early if the Lakers desperately need D..also, it could be a spark for him..
- Play Ebanks over Walton..again, LA needs some athleticism..I highly doubt Ebanks could be any worse than Walton..
- Sit Pau out for a few weeks..the rest of their team is good enough to hold it down while Gasol is gone..he's been playing horribly for over a month now..he's clearly fatigued and/or injured..Lakers need to sit him for a while, give him a break, and he'll be fresh for the playoff run..Bynum is good enough to handle the load up front..
Of course.
Today's game made it abundantly clear that if Perkins didn't get hurt last year, the Celtics win the Finals in 6 games.
The Lakers are done. IF they somehow manage to reach the WCF, they're gonna get assraped by the Spurs.
Spurs and Celtics in the Finals. Book it.
