Simmons doing a lot of hustling... great game even though he hasn't scored.

Boban impressive on the defensive end. Kings were intimidated.

Spurtacular suicide watch begins.

McCallum's got a very quick release. Looks like he's more like a Mills type than someone who can run the offense.

Rasual butler posting up, wtf is goin on

[Ditty]

I really like McCallum, so impressed with Anderson he looks so much faster and I think his defense is underrated imo.

[Mikeanaro]

do it

[HarlemHeat37]

I wouldn't say that. LMA was top 3 or 5 in terms of post-up possessions last year, and was in the top 20% or so in terms of efficiency...posting up is definitely a big part of his game.

The thing is, "good" post-up plays still aren't as efficient as other types of plays, so I'd rather not rely on them so much. If he has a mismatch then he should definitely get the ball in the post, but I'd like to see more pick-n-pops and spot-up jumpers. Like you said though, it's a little easier to iso in games like this where there isn't much chemistry.

I know he posts up and he does it well, but he's not Z-Bo, he's not going to pound you on every play..the jump shot gets him in rhythm for the post, as opposed to the other way around IMO..

[ElNono]

Smoke break for Boban

[Spurtacular]

McCallum playing better; missed the point blank lay-up though.

[SpurPadre]

We got this unless Marco decides to show off his balls.
