summarize please |
- didn’t develop a rhythm during the seeding games
- lack of intensity to start the game
- don’t rely on a “switch”
- stop taking threes and attack
- get it together on FTs

That's because we insisted on waiting for Kawhi. Sigh. |

Lakers were flat out outplayed. The Blazers want it more.

| The 4 missed free throws was game right there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen AD miss two in a row... |

Ok, relax. He played decent.
It’s the roster that is flawed, not AD.

So where are all the posters that said Lakers will win b/c Portland plays zero defense? LOL Lillard+McCollum vs KCP+Green? Not even close! I agree, Davis needs to be at the 5, since our two centers do not appear to be able to handle Nurkic.
Unless some Lakers play over their heads, bye bye Lakers. |

I hope thats not what we have to rely on because if it is we're going to be eliminated even if we advance past Portland.

Vogel,Kidd and Handy gotta figure this out during the film session that you can’t do these hockey subs especially in the playoffs.
Up 6 Kuz on fire and you bench him is where it went down the drain.
Gotta ride Your hot hand until the deal is done. |

Lakers in 5..
Right now teams hitting 3s will win the game. You can't rely on Portland going cold
Make adjustments
But playing AD at the 5 might be dangerous if Portland plays the Whiteside Nurkic duo.
Nurkic might push AD around. I say start Dwight for defense. Play Morris more |

One game does not a series make. I think we still win it all. |

I have Lakers in 6 still |

Guys to blame:
1. KCP - Eddie Jones p**** mofo this guy. He better redeem himself. Given time he might bust out of this. He has no more leash. If he stinks it up the 2nd game and looks as lost and out of rhythm he did in this one, take him out and put in eternal confidence Dion Waiters. Even though Waiters better get his mental (bleep) together and not be as lost on team defense as he has shown. Saying that JR might be a better option though JR tends to get lost on team defense as well, plus he is really out of rhythm. You know what scratch that and play with a 7 man rotation if KCP continues to suck and give all his minutes to Kuzma and Caruso. Wont happen with Vogel but I would do it
2. Green
3. McGee (useless)
Guys I dont blame:
1. Lebron - good game
2. AD - perimeter shot doesnt fall, hey it happens - guy is a 33% 3 shooter.
3. Kuzma - good game
4. Dwight - good game

I'm have to rip the coach on this game....
Starting kcp and Danny green especially against this team is a huge mistake.
I'd start caruso and play more waiters and cook
He runs zero plays for javale
Ad shouldnt regularly be out the paint
Facilitator lebron Will not win a ring on this Lakers team...we need scoring LeBron.. |
