LAKERS ARE THE 1ST SEED!

Durant has to find a way to get free, run a screen for him or something

Good win for the Lakers, they've won 2 tight ones. 7 game winning streak is impressive

Nice inbound D threw the Sonics off on that play.

Two escapes, two nights in a row.

Only in lakerland...

Kobe ftw again.

dingclancy · Post #173 » by **dingclancy** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 5:49 am

Well Kobe did get 48 but the Lakers still had 5 players in double figures. The balance in offense is there they just need to figure out these things before they face the Suns!

I can care less about their offense.

Their defense (or lack of) should be their 1st, 2nd 3rd, 4th, 5th-22th priority right now.

They can worry about offense later, especially against teh Suns.

huh what balance? Lakers were playing 2 vs 5 on offense

Lamar 3-15
Walton 1-6
Kwame....he just sucks

Thank god for Kobe, Fisher and the bench because the rest of the starters were doing everything they can to lose this game with their pathetic defense and horrible shooting.

What was really telling was his shot at the end of regulation, the Sonics had the ball with 21 seconds to go but Durant ended up shooting way too early leaving around 5-6 seconds on the clock...

Part of the problem with that play though is that the Sonics went to Durant in the first place. Too much pressure is being put on him too early, they should have put the ball in the hands of a more proven player and have him pass the ball off to Durant as time was winding down and then let Durant go to work from there.

I don't think Durant will be as good as he's hyped to be and I've maintained that from day one but either way I'll admit that he's in a horrible situation right now.
