Gasol should be our center, he's at his best from the post. Howard can play power forward for us. I know Howard can't shoot but Gasol feed him while he cuts to the basket. Howard is at his best when he is rolling to the basket. Gasol and Howard should be taking most of the shots. That's 14 feet of two of the best big men in the NBA, so why not use them the right way. Bryant is at his best when he works closer to the basket, his midrange game needs to come back all this shooting from downtown needs to be reduced to 3 per game. As for Nash he needs to shoot more from downtown, he's a pure shooter and he's not doing it enough. If Nash shot the ball more it would space the floor even better for our post game. MWP, Jamison and Meeks can space the floor. MDA has to play Meeks, I know he's a streaky shooter but if this guy gets hot from the arc he could really be a great x factor for us. Clark has been a bright spot for us and with Hill gone I think he should get those minutes.
We have what we need to win but our coach is trying to make us into something were not. We can't run this team has two seven footers for crying out loud. We should never run, this team was built to be a half cout team so we can punish teams in the paint. The OKC series was a lot closer than everyone thinks, game 2 game 3 and game 4 could've went to LA and we would've returned to OKC with a 3 to 1 game lead.
My point is we have all the players we need, we just need to play inside-out. This is the only way to turn it around. Gasol in the post will open things up and get him back to playing the way he did this past summer. Howard feeds of Gasol, Bryant and Nash with cuts to the basket. Howard gets more touches and he won't have to post up, the number one roll man getting fed by three of the games best passers.
