I guess positives are they slowed the game again in the second half, like in Cleveland by posting the ball. Other positive to me is Ebanks and Meeks gave good minutes. We do need a rotation

Negatives, Kobe's minutes yet again, the loss, and the fact we seem to screw up first halfs by playing speedy and get in a whole

And last year he said we need to speed it up and not play with two bigs anymore. Charles is a dumb ****.

i hope the team especially the coaching staff learned something new tonight.
forget about jamison and hill at power forward.
lakers need to go small and play quicker on the defensive end.

Would be worse if he touches the ball

Yeah they would have started fouling. What's crazy is when we had a dominant post scorer down there we use to act like 1 4th quarter touch wasn't a bad thing. Howard is average at best as a low post scorer.

I honestly believe if we stuck with Mike Brown, we would have a better record right now, only because we would be utilizing our bigs and without Nash MB's system was a better fit. But we all know that team was goign to be a second round exit. Nash said he might play in a week....the team just needs to hang on a little more chemistry wise, and have some positive energy. We will start winning once we are healthy....there's no doubt in my mind. I'm more concerned about chemistry than anything.

True Wafe, we'll get right. Everybody is frustrated because we didn't expect this, even with Steve out I thought we could hover around over .500 for a minute.

Actually now our coach draw his offense on the strategy board. Cool.

Is this our 2nd or 3rd "moral victory" in the past week?

:roll:

Lakers need to treat Dwight like a 2nd option,it amazes me how Metta manages to get more shots over D12.He had a good start in the post and it seemed like we ignored him all 4th qrt.SMH

To be fair he was correct then. Pau and Andrew didn't work, they were both slow as hell at their spots, probably the slowest starters period in the league at them. Dwight's extra mobility ideally should allow him and Pau to play together in transition on D and not be exploited as much, as well as not clog the paint with Bynums plodding body.

And he did say they should run selectively this year during the game, as they shouldn't try to push it all the time like the first half.

What's up with the MWP hate? He bricks some shots, but he also tries harder than half the team and played a good game. Helped us in the 4th to make it a game.

Might as well have kept Bynum... I told y'all they were , at the end of the day, lateral. Except we weren't renting drew...

Yay , conventional wisdom.

Not that I'm clamoring for bynums return, he's gone now, I don't miss him

Dwight is not being used properly. He doesn't excel in the post up game but he's a good passer posting up, its just there are never players cutting or any kind of movement at all on the weakside, it's just him going 1 on 1 in a iso situation. Obviously, his biggest strength is the high PnR but our point guards are just pure crap running it (indecisiveness, poor passing, not able to break down opponent's defense).

Not blaming on Kobe's shooting at all but I wish there was more two-man game b/w the both of them and when Nash comes back, he's going to do wonders with Dwight.

Wait, it gets better. Wait till we lose tomorrow.

What a nightmare of a start this years been. :-?

Rose2Bogans · Post #520 » by **Rose2Bogans** » Fri Dec 14, 2012 4:02 am

Real talk, what is going on? IMO Dwight's back still isn't healed and it's pretty obvious based on his play. How long until Kobe just loses it and goes off on everyone?
