i am expecting a boatload of points for both teams. Knicks havent played well and Lakers are coming together.

In our earlier meeting i felt confident in a Knicks win, this one i think favors the lakers. More about recent play of teams than it being a home game

You guys will probably put Pau on Brewer and MWP on Melo. Brewer has been absolutely useless recently and we're playing 5 on 4 for the first 6 minutes of the game until JR comes in - Ronnie couldn't hit water from a boat.

If MDA is planning on changing the starting lineup based on matchups, I see no reason why Pau should get special treatment over Metta, who has been a better player than him this year. Melo on Pau will lead to both Pau and Dwight in risk of foul trouble.

Put Pau on Brewer and take advantage of the size advantage on the other end...You don't play to your opponents strength by going small...

And put Kobe on Melo? We need Metta to start. I guess we don't have to go small, but we can't have Melo going off on Pau/Kobe

come on guys, the solution is pretty simple for this matchup. Go back to your original starting lineup, so you have Artest on Melo and on th eoffensive end they are giving up 4 inches on Pau. Heck D'Antoni himself said he'd still use this lineup based on certain matchups

Amare is expected to be back today

That will surely get Melo back into chuck mode.

Isn't Carmelo playing PF?

Dwight's trying to orchestrate a team cheer during intros where the Lakers pat their thighs and hiss like a snake when Kobe's name is called

Exactly why I don't understand why we have a pg guarding him :oops:

I want to see good ball movement and moving without the ball on offense and good rotations i.e. helping the helper on defense

I get that Darius is our best defending guard, but isn't Melo way too strong for the kid? lmao

Lakers have been trying to convert him into a SG this summer though since he has the size for it. Still. lol

I'm wondering who'll Gasol guard in that scenario

If Brewer starts at SF(have no idea) I guess Kobe will take him since he's not a treat offensively(resting a bit on D)...Nash on Felton
Howard on Chandler

So Gasol...on Kidd :lol:

Or maybe Kobe on Kidd and Gasol on Brewer?

Michael Lucky · Post #57 » by **Michael Lucky** » Tue Dec 25, 2012 7:52 pm

It will be Gasol on Brewer. Seriously though if this is true, Kobe has to man up and take on that defensive assignment, this is just embarassing. Melo is mroe a question of strength as a defensive assignment and there's no way Kobe isn't stronger than Darius. lol

Ikr, wtf is going on. There are going to be mismatches all over the place
