As long as we get Clutch in foul trouble and have someone other than blake we can win.

Why not Nash, Henry, Williams, Kaman Pau?

I'd go with Farmar, Henry, Johnson, Kaman/Hill, Gasol. not even thinking of putting Nash in there to guard Lin or Beverly. Blake should be the back up PG but he sucks at that.

Nash is skipping this or the hornets anyhow. I personally hope this.

Don't think Shawne is starting:

[tweet]https://twitter.com/mcten/status/398179224927748096[/tweet]

Anyway, it's gonna be hard to out gun this team on their home floor so we're gonna have to put in some of that gritty effort that MDA was harping about the other night. No easy lay ups/dunks for Dwight or Asik, make them earn it at the stripe. Also there needs to NOT be any doubling down in the post. Pau has guarded Dwight personally in practice for the last year so I'm sure...I HOPE he knows how to defend him properly. I'd rather take my chances on Dwight's mediocre post game or his abysmal FT% than leave their shooters open. It'll be tough to stop Harden, I'd love to see Xavier get the challenge. Also have to watch out for Cassipi off the bench, he's been pretty money for them. Difficult game for sure but... LET"S GO LAKERS!

Eye candy is legit! Let's go Lakers!




PS. Man Asik would have been a major steal, if only the management swallowed their pride last offseason and asked Dwight for a s&t.

Imagine a frontcourt of Gasol,Asik,Kaman, Hill :o

Metta would've been kept IMO and Pau amnestied. Metta and Dwight had some of the best defensive numbers in the league at 4 and 5 without Pau. No point in keeping. Pau when you know Asik can't cover for him

Hack Dwight and Asik to slow down their pace. I don't get why teams haven't done this this season? Harden and Lin going to kill us for sure though if Blake and Nash are covering them (most likely are).

seeing the Harden defense video, I'd like to see X at the 2 and Wes at the 3. Henry should abuse Harden mano y mano.

I actually would consider putting X on Harden. If he can get him in foul trouble it would make things interesting.
