Adjustments for game 4


Pau has to grow a pair


Don't take as many 3s


give ebanks most of Blake's minutes

 

[Lizakers]

What could possibly rationalize having Blake in the game instead of Barnes or Ebanks causing Kobe to play SF and Blake to guard Miller
Makes no sense

 

[sohi 23]

2 things: I HATE STEVE BLAKE. and the Lakers just couldn't hit a shot in the 4th to put pressure on the Nuggets.

Terrible from 3 point range.
Good game Denver, yall beat us tonight.

 

[Nawzlew]

Javale will have to improve his interviewing skills.

 

[knightngale]

Lakers are gonna get swept if their crunch time lineup includes Blake. Dude misses everything and then gets abused by anyone on defense 

Bynum and Gasol were dominated by Faried and Mcgee. Not a good look.

This loss is mostly on Brown though. The nuggets are terrible at jump shooting yet they drove a million times in the first half. BRILLIANT defensive game plan by Brown.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

steve blake should never see the court 

 play the bench

I'm POSITIVE this changes in game 4.

 

[wcghost]

LMAO @ Javale addressing his Top 8 Dumb Plays youtube video during the interview.

 

[sohi 23]

We need Barnes to hit those corner 3s too. Like really, really badly

I'm not too worried tho, I kinda knew we would lose this game.

Nuggets front court looked huge out there tonight.

Lawson torchin' Sessions like crazy!

7-23 Kobe?! Sheesh...

Give Bynum the ball!

Bynum got the ball in the post. He got doubled alot which led to pass outs or turnovers. When he was singled covered in the 2nd half, he had some baskets. What Bynum needs a full game's effort on defense and rebounding. He got outplayed/outhustled by McGee. 
Like others posted, I didnt understand why Blake was on the floor in the 4th instead of Barnes. Let Kobe or Barnes guard Miller's post game.

For being in such a big hole (24pts) and coming back to make the game contestable was a good sign. Just dont be overwhelmed by a big Nuggets surge and they should be ok.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Bynum pms yolo

 

[ag 47]

That was a must win for Denver. They wouldn't deserve to be out there if they didn't bring that type of intensity.

We can't say we didn't have our chances. We actually cut the lead to 4 at one point, but just couldn't quite get over the hump.

 

[essential1]

Im tired of reading after every loss give the ball more to Bynum... He's not nor will he ever be a #1 option (unless he figures out he has to actually run down the floor, not briskly walk, and how to work out of double and triple teams)... And even with that he gets the ball to short more than any center with the exception of Al Jefferson, and same as Dwight..

He gets the ball a lot.. He shoots a lot.. You guys just are not watching closely enough

Ya'll got that OKC scouting report just about finished?  We sure coulda used it tonight.......

Drew need to stop flappin his arms like a bird and go +***%#% take the ball if he wants it.  Stop throwing your arms up after every God damn shot young man.  The 2 dudes playin against you that are smaller and less talented than you are got 28 points and 29 rebounds.  I don't see the guards flappin their arms everytime they rebounded and scored on you. 

Get your head right.  More game 1, less first half tonight. 

 

[sea man]

give credit to denver for their D on bynum, but what people dont understand is while some times its effort that holds bynum back, a lot of the time its the 4 other lakers standing still watching bynum which cripples bynums ability to get good looks the most. its known that bynum is not the best passer but at least give him something to pass to, this is why barnes would be way more effective in the 4th than blake. while his shooting was off his off ball movement is something the lakers really miss when he is not playing.

 

[knightngale]

Bynum will always be a glorified role player.

This is the type of defense and hustle that almost every east team + the thunder have every game from their bigs

There is no excuse if the nuggets drive like this the rest of the series. Lakers should just pack it in and let them shoot jumpers. Nuggets looked flustered anytime their initial drive was stopped.

a lot of the time its the 4 other lakers standing still watching bynum which cripples bynums ability to get good looks the most
That is mike brown's offense + steve blake

shout out to TEAM FIRE MIKE BROWN
