I may look pretty bad for trashing Morris so much, but I don't look as bad as anyone who defended mike brown :lol:

If Morris is hitting that open 3, his defensive presence might make him a better option at backup PG than Blake.

Darrius Morris with a great cross over. he just needed to hit that jumper.

I've been mulling that over for awhile now. But I think to be fair to Blake, we give him some burn and the starting nod for the week-two that Nash is out. D'Antoni has long been high on Blake too.

The main thing is, Blake/Morris are similarly speedy/agile. But Morris is much stronger and better guarding the PNR. I mentally cringe at the idea of Blake going under on another screen and giving Ty Lawson/Russel Westbrook that open 20' jumper.

I can't tell if our offense is this good because blake is sitting or because mike brown's gone. we'll find out once blake is back, lol

The Lakers have played some great D in spurts tonight!

I'm going to miss Bernie. He deserves props for being the glue in this transition.

picc · Post #416 » by **picc** » Mon Nov 19, 2012 5:09 am

He's sticking around as an assistant coach, right?

Really liked the way he played tonight. When he gets 100% it will get even better.

Laker fans might as well get used to that. We'll lock down at critical junctures. Dwight and Ron have made a career out out of playing defense and Kobe can still lock down when need be. Veterans will step it up when the time calls for it, I'm confident.

DEEP3CL · Post #419 » by **DEEP3CL** » Mon Nov 19, 2012 5:12 am

Yeah Bernie is staying, in fact most of the staff is staying.

Exactly, it's like a quote I read from Shaq today, he said " championship teams will want to play defense". We'll be OK, this break neck pace wont be like this come spring. That's when you run a control break.
