This is just not a championship rotation.

Lakers defense rotations on the secondary break have been awful

This doesn't look like the same team before the break at all. Just look lethargic and disconnected on basically every front.

Need to Lebron to play like he did pre-break to have any shot at the title.

Getting back in transition might be helpful.

Just can't spot playoff teams free points by starting JaVale. LeBron needs to be a scorer and that's just so much harder with two bigs.

They need to figure out how they're going to stop Lillard from averaging 40 a game in this series. He's getting anything he wants and I don't think letting this become a high scoring battle is in LA's best interests.

6 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 50% FG and no TOs. He's playing well. Should have at least 2 or 3 more assists for those open shots. Green and KCP are unplayable right now. Let's see if they can turn it arround... I believe the Lakers sucess depends a lot on them.

That Gabriel rookie is not bad. Blazers mightve lucked into him starting with Zach out

What’s going on with Davis

Once the Lakers get a feel for the speed of Stott's motion offense and step up their physicality they'll close the gap. They're getting great back cuts on the Blazers and getting inside. Cut down on the fouls and the fumbles and the paint dominance will start being imposed. At the end of the day none of these guys can guard LeBron. I think the most annoying thing will be the whistle Dame's been getting recently.

You gotta play a LeBron-Davis frontcourt and just post up LeBron all game long.

The new NBA, where pump faking and jumping into defenders 20 feet from the basket gets you more respect from the refs then attacking the rim.

I am really starting to hate the NBA.

This really goes to show how little former players actually know about the nba. I feel like the average PC board poster is more insightful.

Didn't KP get a tech for what Melo just did?

Meanwhile, two bigs making light contact in the post is a double foul. :roll:

Yes, Lebron is the one bricking open 3s

Clown

Once again, Lebron has to carry scrubs

DG gone this summer
McGee hopefully gone

Lakers are getting a good rythm. Stay tuned guys, I believe it's gonna be a good close game till the end. I have a feeling however Carmelo will do well in the end. But I also got a feeling the Lakers will come up with the 4-1 win in the series after losing this one. Let's see how my prediction goes.
