GM1: Utah @ LA Lakers


Recommended Posts

I'm going to miss this game because I'll be in the car driving home from my lakehouse. Lakers will probably win but it should be a good game. I hope Deron Williams is good to go.

I wonder if Phil will go to the Kobe on Deron Williams matchup. If not Williams will probably go for 30-40 pts with ease. Once again our bigs need to show up, we got a nice size advantage.

 

I don't think he'll do it in the first game. He'll want to see how Fisher plays him first, especially with Williams a little banged up right now.

Well what swingman does Ron have to defend?

 

I wanted Ron or Kobe on Williams, we just didn't think Phil would go to that matchup so early in the game. Matthews and Miles are average shooters at best, if I was Sloan I would give Korver some more pt.

Great game by Kobe, very efficient scoring the ball and got the job done in the 4th as usual.

 

The Lakers do have to do a better job of not letting the Utah role players kill them in the rest of this series. You can deal with Williams, Boozer and even Millsap going off, but you can't let Miles and Mathews kill you as well. There is no excuse for this game to be a close as it was with the Lakers shooting 53% from the field.

Odom finally showed up in the final couple minutes of the game. Thank you bench mob for blowing the lead. We actually tried to work the ball through Bynum while he was out there with our bench but that proved ineffective. I want to see Odom assertive himself more when he is out there with Farmar and Shannon, those two take way too many stupid shots.

 

I'm happy that we won, and it was nice to see Kobe finally have an efficient game. This series doesn't nearly bother me as much as the Thunder series did.

I absolutely hate how Phil sat Kobe for five minutes in the fourth. It lost our lead, and it was just stupid.

 

And sadly, he does this all the damn time. I believe it was Mark Jackson saying how it seems like Kobe and Gasol have to win the game twice, once in the first three quarters, then again in the last six minutes.

 

I know he's one of the greatest (if not the greatest) coach of all-time, but damn man...fix your rotations. If you're trying to save Kobe's legs for a fourth-quarter surge, give him 2-3 minutes max on the bench, and don't force him to have to catch up late in the game.
