Barnes had 2 points today, and a lot of dumb fouls. He is broke, Ebanks needs 30 mins. |

Lakers are 33-1 in 7-game playoff series after winning Game 1, the lone loss coming in 1993 to Sir Charles & Phoenix.

He is a better defender and does not blow 2 foot lay ups ROUTINELY. Barnes is tough, can shoot 3's etc. but Ebanks is a better defender, younger, and more versatile. The key being his D. He is also more athletic. There is a reason Barnes is basically on a different team every year. |

The entire canvas tells me that Barnes is 9 years older, hobbled with his ankle injury, has never stuck with a team because is not a very good player, and does not deserve 10 more minutes than Ebanks. You can label that a sketch, a drawing, a painting, a doodle, I prefer to just call it a fact. The Lakers won big yes, but not every game will be a blow out, and I do not want Barnes getting more minutes than Ebanks because there is not a single reason why he should. IMO. |

So you'd make changes to a winning combination during the playoffs? Wait till next year. It ain't broke, don't fix it.

It has been ONE GAME. What are you talking about? Game to game there will be changes. That is basketball. Matt Barnes should not have more minutes than Devin Ebanks and that is a fact. If you think he contributed more to the "winning combination" today than Ebanks that's insane. The Lakers are going to lose a game in these playoffs, I hate to break it to you. So in the mean time lets put our best foot forward with our best rotation, which is Ebanks playing more minutes than an injured Matt Barnes. |

That's what makes forums so interesting, different opinions.
I think we should stay with what got us here. IMO to change horses in mid stream is not a good idea. You're dealing with egos and chemistry.
As long as the Lakers are posting W's why change anything? Now is not the time for experimenting.

There is no experiment. Ebanks is our starter. Barnes is the bench player. That is why Ebanks should get the dominant minutes. I already pointed out all the ways he is superior to Barnes, who is INJURED as well. Where was Barnes during our epic comeback vs. OKC? Was he the one that shut Durant down? No, he was hobbled on the bench. That's my point. Barnes is a bench player, and deserves less minutes. Just like he got vs. OKC, and like he should have today. Ebanks led us in the first half, he had more points on two shots than Barnes finished the game with. Period. |

| Man, what a difference from the debut playoff game last year. Beasting games from Drew, Pau, and Kobe, and even the role players did their job as well. Nice to see big games from Hill and Ebanks again, and even Blake hit three 3's, which is exactly what the Lakers need from him. I know it's only 1 game, but hard not to feel good about that start. |

ok the game thread seems to be the only place to discuss crazy ideas without getting flamed too much, so here's a q:
Being a fan, I'm allowed to look ahead and play hypotheticals. If we're up 3-0, do we bench Kobe, Pau and Bynum for a game?
I would seriously consider it. These horses get rest, and we give the entire bench more run. Also , we would then have ron starting Game 2 vs the Thunder instead of Game 3. |

That's been the major discussion lately, if Lakers get up big in the series, wouldn't it be better strategy to prolong the series? IMHO, you can't do that. First, it's the playoffs, you have no idea when a team is going to catch fire, you gotta put them away when you get the chance. Second, don't forget, by artificially elongating the series, you're needlessly increasing the chances for injuries to occur.
Just my two cents and I do think there are positives to the Lakers trying to extend the series.....but they're outweighed by the potential negatives. |
