Game #47: Los Angeles Lakers (20-26) @ Minnesota Timberwolves (17-25)

[LakerSemper]

We're playing with 4 , tah's why reeky is dominating

[duane v]

this team played better with Blake playing PG

[kblo247]

Still don't understand why we don't use a zone as well when Nash and Pau are weak man defenders at this stage?

Lakers could've easily been up 30 smh so much settling for 3's there at the end

Nash is terrible...... He's the #1 reason why our bigs are out of position

Like kobe said, this team is old. They can't defend, they can't sustain, and they can't finish.

I hate when Nash is running the offense..... He has no idea how to run a half court set.....

Though Blake is a goone..... He sure adds more grit to the Lakers offense, and doesnt get raped on D like Nash does

We have developed a bit more chemistry since then. Also if you'll notice, the ball is moving a lot better with the smaller lineup and we are getting more open shots. Also virtually no transition baskets.


I'm not saying it will fix everything, but D'Antoni has always been a small ball coach so why not give him a fair shot.

Mikam Wilt Kareem Shaq - lakers are a big ball franchise from the jump when you look at the ceiling, and even when you look at our smalls, they could work you inside from West to Worthy to Kobe

[LakersMaster24]

Rubio is probably the only non Lakers player that I like.

[LakerShow]

**** was good early one with the big lead, should be up by more, but i will take it.

hope we dont have melt down late like last game. finish strong!

[LakerShow]

Rubio is probably the only non Lakers player that I like.

me too. I like G Vazquez from the lol pelicans. he currently stands 3rd in the nba in ast a game. only behind rondo and paul.

[KobeOwnSU]

I want to let this sink in. If Dwight doesn't resign next year, this is who we have under contract:

Kobe
Pau
Nash
Metta (PO)
Blake
Hill
Duhon
Meeks (TO)

78 Million in salaries. No draft picks.

We chucked 20 3s that half. That's flirting with danger, **** Nash and Dantoni ssol or fling and fire O. Minimize possessions, set a tone, and you limit the other team chances to get hot and make comeback runs like the wolves are doing, the suns did, and Nola almost did. You live by the 3, and you will die by it, historically aside from Dallas years ago who had much better interior and pg defense. Don't care if they go in, that's bad habits being born, play like vs OKc and Utah controlled.
