Dj Mbenga

[cashflo]

Do we start Dj? If Andrew can't go or is very limited is this our best option.
Good defense+
everyone stays at normal position+
Please weigh in on this.

[Kilroy]

Don't know if I'd start him but I might put him in just to mess with Baby...
Somebody needs to body up baby and Perkins... It flusters them.
Bynum and Pau were doing a good job of it but I don't think Pau can do it by himself... And that's just what he has to do with Odom on the floor because Odom's pretty much useless on D.

So yeah... Put Mbenga in to be physical inside when they go to Perkins and Baby or Baby and Wallace.

We need to beat them at the physical game.

So, ultimately, I think we're going to need Bynum to lay it all on the floor for one more game... It may finish him off, but I think we need him to give us one more all-out performance before we come back to LA. I think we can win in LA without him, but I think we need to come back 3-2 us instead of them.

Yeah its time to put DJ into the rotation to mix it up with Baby. Odom straight got punked all night it was sickening to watch.

[doremi]

If he still has that J...

Phil said Mbenga has looked vacant.

Like WTH is that suppose to mean Phil? Play the man already Baby is eating us up!

[kobe808lak]

Who would have thought that with all of our length, baby davis would be having this kind of impact on games. Do we really need to game plan for a bench player?... probably yes at this point.

There's something fitting and natural about the player and the word "eating" being used in the same sentence.

[Jajwanda]

Mbenga may in fact have some nice impact. Phil and his bull vacant crap needs to get the heck out of here. He taxes his starters to the point where they can't play anymore. Give them some rest playing the pick-and-pop with Kobe, they both can do it.

[ShowtimeFan]

Mbenga has the energy and size to deal with the Baby and perhaps even get another T on Perkins...!

[Jajwanda]

Not like Odom has a better jumper.

[imonaboat]

You think the C's would put BBD in to guard Banga?

[Kilroy]

You think the C's would put BBD in to guard Banga?

No... I don't think Rivers would make any moves to guard Mbenga because he wouldn't be perceived as an offensive threat, and that's not what we'd use him for...

He'd be in purely as a Defensive presence to counter the C's bench offense down low.

He can hit the 8'er pretty well at times but any offense would be 'gravy on the cake'...

[Jajwanda]

Actually I think he can hit that J pretty well from the elbow which is great news for Kobe off the pick and roll.

[leeyker]

Put Mbenga in to guard Davis and Perkins since Odom can't play defense

Davis and Perkins are an offensive threat in scoring and offensive rebounding as long as they are being guarded by ..Odom

And I notice Powell can hit outside shots too...

c'mon dude we're not long with bynum or gasol out, odom brings us a more versatile line-up or in other words soft, small, no length which ever you prefer i thought everybody knew this

[stunnar0b]

^ fact^ this mo fo Lo better show up and put more emphasis on D and stop worrying about kobe swinging the ball around on O

[stunnar0b]

alright thats my two cents i'm out

[laduane1]

Any thing can help. Steve Finley might come in for the celts and hit a few shots. That might help them. Got to mix it up a little.
