Mike Brown: "Its not like Goudelock was giving us 14-15 pts"

[Biohazard]

Goudelocks fg% and 3pts% are both better than Blake and Goudelock's ppg are almost the same in half the minutes played..Well i'm sure you guys know this.

[Jajwanda]

The Lakers are losing points against teams that have large 2 guards (Blake-Sessions switch). That back court has hurt L.A. quite a bit and unless Brown can find a way to split minutes perfectly it's going to be a major problem down the stretch.

If there's no Goudelock, Morris or Ebanks he has to hit on the rotations perfectly.

[MelosSoreWrist]

Can't figure why Blake is getting any minutes at 2 over Goudelock. He gives us nothing at that spot.

It makes more sense if Blake was the 1 and Session the 2 as Session has more of an offensive game. But if both guys are in why would you ever want the ball in Blake's hands. This is quite the puzzle.

[Jajwanda]

Sessions needs the ball in his hands with Goudelock out there as well. It's still a better lineup that Blake-Sessions and it gives you two dribble drive options.

This team is one upgrade in their rotation away from being at that championship level.

[Michael Lucky]

kind of hard to average 14-15ppg in 8 minutes. lol

[semi-sentient]

This is a fairly small sample size, but it shows what Goudelocke has done when given minutes.

10+ Minutes: 17g, 7.7 pts, .456 fg%, .417 3p%
15+ Minutes: 9g, 9.0 pts, .457 fg%, .423 3p%
20+ Minutes: 5g, 12.8 pts, .558 fg%, .563 3p%

His A/TO ratio is about even. He doesn't really create for others, but he doesn't turn the ball over either. He's strictly a scoring punch off the bench and a guy that helps space the floor, which is more than what Blake gives the Lakers. Bottom line is the guy can shoot, and we need shooters.

What are those stats without the 20 + minute and 15+ minute stats averaged into to the lesser time values.

20+ (5 games): 12.2 PPG, 55.8 FG%, 56.25 3P%, 1.25 A/TO
15-20 (3 games): 4.33 PPG, 25 FG%, 12.5 3P%, 5.0 A/TO
10-15 (9 games): 6.22 PPG, 45.1 FG%, 41.7 3P%, 0.8 A/TO



To me it looks like the reason his stats are so high with increased minutes is because he only gets those minutes when he is on. Again small sample size.

His per 36 stats have him shooting 39 FG% and 36 3P% with an A/TO of less than 1 and 15.0 ppg.

[lodom7]

might as well give him a shot

Nope

7 out of 17 games over 10 mins were when Blake was out

The rest of 10 games consisted of games of 1-8 FG,1-5 FG,2-5 FG,etc..not good performances but he still saw over 10 mins

He played more when we had a nice lead and Brown sat Kobe out in the 4th quarter too(now those minutes go to Blake)..there were a bunch of games this year(over 10 I think) in which Brown didn't sit Kobe for a second in the 2nd half so Goudelock only got those 5-6 mins at the beginning of the 2th quarter and nothing more

Basically,it didn't really matter how he played,in games in which we had a big lead he played him more(to rest Kobe) and in games that were close he played him less(not sitting Kobe for an entire half)

I'm talking about when he was part of the rotation,at the beginning of the season he only saw minutes during garbage time when the game was decided

[semi-sentient]

The sample size doesn't even matter. Blake's been sucking for over a full season now, and we know full well that he can't shoot the ball consistently. He doesn't create either. He pretty much does nothing most of the time so it's a small risk. Giving a known shooter a chance to prove himself shouldn't be that big of a deal, especially since he's so far done a good job when getting playing time.

I am starting to think Glock **** MB's mom or something.
