LOL Anthony just takes up space on defense. Dude just stood there. He is supposed to rotate to Mbenga and force the pass to Odom while Camby recovers and gets in front of Odom. God...the Knicks play more fundamental defense.

Melo deserves an awful lot of criticism for the way he's played in this series, but the way people talk about Camby is just a joke.

Camby threw the ball away and Reggie Miller actually said "I like the the way he's playing." Then he leaves his man open for a dunk to try to pad his stats with another dunk. No comment.

Nice tip Kobe! That's some fundamental basketball.

If Team USA lose this year it will probably come from his ball hogging

Don't worry JR Smith is taking care of it.

lmao, If the Lakers play this type of defense in the 2nd round, they won't survive at all.

At least they're getting going now

Thats the problem with these lakers and why as a Kobe OR Laker fan, you can NEVER EVER trust them wiht aNY lead in any game OR series.

They just dont play consistent enough defense to scare the beejesus out of you.

Like right there, Kobe goes out and its a 12 point lead.

What happens? D goes to CRAP and they are getting layup after layup.

Lakers are playing lackadaisically like the game is already there's.

WAIT to be up by 20 before you assume the game is yours.

They had a chance to be up by close to that, but decided NOT to play hard enough to put the nail in the coffin.

The Nuggests probably think they can win the way they are playing right now with their pickup style , pretty sad .

I mean this doesn't look like an nba playoff game right now . Dunk , Dunk , Lauyp .

The only difference is Phil Jackson probably will adjust , George Karl ? Hmm not so sure.
