Go inside. Pound them down low and slow up the tempo.

i have a bad feeling about this one. especially if the bench gets caught up in the fast break tempo.

Totally agree with you. Nice thread though, dcash.

This is a chance to "bust" D'Antoni in his ass !.........................I feel quite truculent about this one.

the knicks play at phoenix tonight. mike d making his return. hopefully their physically and emotionally drained. may be i'm too worried about them, but i just don't trust the bench against them.

Please don't choke this one to hell. I hate Coach Teeth.

Luke Walton could probably double as Gasol for a day with that haircut.

This is where we turn up the intensity. Boston is coming up in 10 days and the fellas know it. They know they way they are playing right now won't get the job done so they are gonna turn it up a notch this next week. I have faith that the boys will once again play.......*dun dun* DE-FENSE!

Verbal · Post #13 » by **Verbal** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 8:41 pm

Don't we just need to play solid defense and run the offense to win?

Pretty straightforward.

If things get tough.. well.. haha.. you know. hah.

Hopefully we get a big lead, and then when D'Antoni calls a time out, we call a time out immediately after. Oh, how hilarious that would be.

If the Lakers don't guard the three point line in this one, they are gonna lose by 15 points. Dantoni got these guys running and gunning. The Lakers' and especially Kobe can't leave them open for three all game w/ David Lee out hustling the Bigs for long rebounds.....

TylersLakers · Post #16 » by **TylersLakers** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:24 pm

We should trade Yue and a 2nd round pick for Anthony Roberson, IMO. This guy would be a killer off the bench, and he can actually stay in front of people at a better clip than Farmar.

Don't get caught up in their pace and please, please, PLEASE close out on their shooters. The Knicks are more than capable of winning if they get enough uncontested 3s.
On offense, pound the ball to Pau or Drew every time down. Harrington and Lee are severely undersized, and we need to punish them down low. If Kobe, Fish or Farmar start chucking long jumpers early in the shot clock I'm gonna be pissed.

JUST WIN BABY!
