The Regime Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Really think we need to go with Earl Clark with the way Miami is spreading us out with this small lineup. Pau has been a tad slow on his last two contests, we're lucky that Battier is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 18, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Kobe brings us back from the dead with 13 in the fourth...but on the last two possessions, doesn't even touch the ball once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 How many times are we going to get beat off a simple curl play. Im sure has nothing to do with the fact that we have a bad defensive coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Ray Allen [expletive]ed us up on those curls in the 4th. We're asking too much of Nash to chase him around. Mike D needs to make better adjustments on the fly. Edited January 18, 2013 by Simba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Terrible executiion down the stretch by the Lakers. They decide to try and feed the ball to Dwight who's guaranteed to get fouled rather than give the ball to a red hot Kobe? Pathetic. We commited way too many turnovers throughout the game yet it still came down to the last 2 minutes. Cut down on the retarded turnovers and the Lakers would've got a win today. IMO, this game was a must win for LA just to get their confidence up and start a win streak. Bad loss today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 18, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 LeBron has proven that Kobe isn't even closeThe Kobe of today, yes. LeBron missed nearly every single longer mid-range jumper he took tonight, it seemed...even wide open ones...but when you get 500 screens and have no defense waiting for you in the paint (not even sure where Howard was for a lot of it), you're going to drop 40-point games with ease. It didn't help that Earl Clark has no idea how Bron plays (let him drive to the rim by defending his left?) and Ron Artest is pretty much done as a defensive player. James is a freak of nature. Durant is closest just because he has the range Kobe has, but he doesn't have the passing ability yet, nor does he have a post game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 18, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 And while I'm in here, I was frustrated with Kobe's shooting the first three quarters...really pissing me off...but Gasol's defense is so [expletive]ing pathetic. He is literally afraid of contact. He whines AS the player gets to the rim. He won't contest any dunk attempt, and he rarely gets at layups. Our P&R was demolished tonight, also. Nash was holding the ball for nearly the entire shot clock...and I've never, EVER seen Nash do that in my life...not for THAT long. He was passing it over to Kobe with five on the clock, looking for a bail out, or slinging it clear across the court to Ron Artest or Antawn Jamison. If we don't fix our P&R issues, and if we don't start playing through a Kobe/Dwight duo rather than Dwight/Nash and Kobe ISO's, we're not going to make the playoffs...and that's just talk on the offensive end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) The Lakers lost this game because of one moment: Dwight Howard missed 2 free throws. In the final minutes, LA and Miami were trading punches. One team took the lead, another tied it up. That pattern broke once Dwight Howard airmailed his first free throw then clunked another, killing the morale of the Lakers, and allowing the Heat to take a crucial two possession lead. Can't blame this on Pau or Kobe. Dwight played well, but that moment shows why his inability to make free throws can kill the spirit of the team. This game looked like it was going to kick start the Lakers. Kobe caught fire, Pau was playing great off the bench, Jamison had a nice and one, and Clark was hitting shots. This game does prove LA will find a way to make the playoffs, but it won't get very far.

Paris Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 LeBron has proven that Kobe isn't even closeexcellent observation, both players in their prime right now, so its certainly a fair comparison. its not like one is 28 in his 10th season and the other is 34 in his 17th.
