I hope this will be our statement game where our defense does to their offense what it did to the offense of Portland and Houston.

We need a statement game. Up by 30 after three quarters should put fear even in Malone. Yes, they’re capable of it. Full focus, full effort! Eliminate!

Start Howard with strict instructions not to foul. And Rondo should start, too. Or Caruso. KCP as a starter confuses my brain.

There’s also that little talked about fact that LeBron rolled his ankle end of game 2. He ‘idled’ for three quarters then gave it a run.

It ended with a few missed capitulation threes. I think he was playing more hurt than we know.

Judging by the look in his eye at warm-up, I’d guess he’ll be in attack mode. Perhaps for Breonna. He looked like he means business today.

And if he plays sub par, the others need to rebound and hustle so much more, not get passive.

Just popped in to see what the consensus has been on the run. I still haven't watched a minute of it. I'm not in the mood for the Lebron/NBA lectures anymore. The "Vote or die" mixed in with the can't say Taiwan or support protests in Hong Kong stuff has just about ruined the NBA for me. I still find myself looking at the box scores however. Guess it's hard to kill a Laker fan.

Everyone take care and 17 is still 17... even in 2020

PS: Where are the moderators. For someone lurking like me there are no individual game threads? Come on! You're better than that!

Nah we don't need a guy in a bat suit. We need SUPERMAN.

At least Vogel knows when to adjust. Glad Dwight is starting.

Thank you, Frank! I could’ve told you to do that before game 1. Oh wait ... lol

Finally. Dwight should of course start, and like every other starting center he needs to stay clear of fouling out. Make everything difficult for the joker, don’t block every attempt, don’t go for a steal all the time. Use your feet. Please.

Danny Green is so useless...

AD and Murray cooking.

NOW THIS IS THE DWIGHT HOWARD WE WANT!

Im convinced Dwight is gonna bring down one of the bubble rims before it's all over.

Dwight cleaning up the glass.

When is Danny going to make a shot? smh...

Haven't seen Dwight this locked in in years. No antics, no bull, just pure determination and effort. Jokic wants no part of it.

I'm still waiting for him to have a random 6 3 pointer night in a must win game. I'm starting to think that is never happening.

Lol putting AD on the other side of the court instead of rebounding really back fired there.

BEazy · Post #557 » by **BEazy** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 1:33 am

Alright not a bad 1st quarter. Last couple of seconds were pretty bad though...

The Lakers have a Danny Green/Kyle Kuzma problem...neither one of them shoots with the consistency needed to be a championship team.

AC has to take that shoot. You can't by shy out there

Lakers REALLY HAVE A KUZMA PROBLEM!

Who Will Win
