Post#1 » by Beethoven » Fri Apr 25, 2025 8:19 pm

LAKERS NEED TO TAKE THIS GAME AS A GAME 7 IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.
TAKE CONTROL OF THIS GAME FOR ALL FOUR QUARTERS.
SHOW THAT YOU ARE A CONTENDER FOR THE TITLE.

Can they just at least try a couple of times? Lebron providing that high Pick, defender switch, Lebron then rolls hard and attack the basket. If defense collapses, James pass to Rui or DFS/Dalton for open corner 3's. :nod:
If defender doesn't switch, Luka penetrates hard and attacks the basket.

Sounds simple, but the Lakers have been saying this sort of thing for ages:

"Kobe and Dwight pick and roll, theyre saving it for the playoffs. Will be a monster to defend"
"Lebron and AD pick and roll, they are saving it for the playoffs, will be tremendous"

never happened

Yes I am well aware, I vividly remember a couple of posters here assured me Vogel would surely unleash that deadly unstoppable Lebron/Davis screenroll in the playoffs but it didn’t happened. It turned out Davis is not a great roller and so did Howard, but I think James is, esp if the screen is from beyond 20 feet. It may not work but I still wish they try a couple of times.
These Luka hunting Gobert for isos is getting to be too redundant and not fully effective lately imo.

I know Luka wasn't feeling well, but maybe we need a whole training camp and a legit center. It seems like a tall task to best this team 3 straight times, or even 3 out of 4. We shall see.

What a worse time to be sick, could have had that stomach ailment before game 1 or 3 when they had 72 hours between games. :banghead:
They stopped playing like Friday night 10:40 pm and now play again 12nn Sunday which is less than 38 hours of rest. :nonono:
He didn't just vomit fluids which lead to dehydration and weakness, I would imagine he is also having headaches and nausea, probably some fever too and it's hard to recover from that in that short span.
What are the chances Lebron and Reaves hit 50% from 3 again? :(
Here's an outrageous idea, if Luka is not ready, pull him out, start Gabe then insert Dalton Knecht in there in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and see what happens. :crazy:

fouls vs physicality seems like the refs are letting the wolves hammer us consistently where lesser contact becomes fouls on us. the reeves 3rd foul call was bs

I hope Ant's ok even though he's been the one pushing the physicality, we want a fair matchup and no one to get hurt
