Great strategy. Let Ja get his, stop everybody else. |
Yea, not sure I agree there. Dude single handedly drove that lead down to 10 by himself that fourth.
I get the strategy at a 50k foot level, but I'm not a fan of it when a guy starts going nuclear. Perhaps Lakers woulda changed it up had he got them within 6 or 4.

But the coaching never learns..smh. Thats the whole problem...Bease and DLo next game prob going to get 30mins next game..smh. I wouldnt even be shocked he makes AR the center and bease the forward next game...smh. |
Yea...when up by 20 early in 4th and AD sitting I am absolutely perplexed why neither Wenyan nor Mo are getting run at C. I dont get it at all. If they make one bad play, fine, you have enough cushion and enough TOs left to burn 1 to just see versus assuming they suck and having no C is better than having a center. |
Gabriel did get run it center even though it was for a short time |
Not in that 4th when AD was resting. |
It’s more time than he’s got in the previous two games |

What’s the Lakers need to do? Is they need to be sending film to the front office showing all the moving screens that was allowing Jha to get open. There were a ton of them tonight. |

Ok, so does this in your opinion defeat the critique of why not give Mo and/or him more run at C, especially when up by 20 in the 4th and sitting AD?

No, that’s been one of my complaints actually
Anytime the Anthony Davis takes arrest. There should be a shot blocker filling in right behind him.
I don’t understand it

I know Ja went off for 45 but most of those happened in the 4th, where he put up 23pts. When the game is a little out of hand. Lakers also relaxed a bit in the 4th and changed their coverage a bit.
But I like how they came out from the gate with urgency and put the Grizz away early. |

I don’t think so. Ham has done some things well, some adjustments bad too. I think people forget he’s a Bud disciple. He’s not Phil who can make a call on the fly. Bud has many of his faults, hard headed subs, lack on in game changes, and even giving up 3s as no one in the playoffs gave up more threes than the bucks when they won it all. He’s not going to change his approach as quick as some people remember a Phil . He’s not going to work the refs over in the media like Phil would to protect his stars. I think he’s getting judged a lot based off Phil tbh more so than the coaching tree he came from
Hell Phil was criticized and judged by Riley because his style wasn’t showtime enough lol

At least for me I have no serious issues with the coach. I have issues with how the players played to close out. That's on the players. That's attitude. |

Our defense in that first quarter was the best basketball we played all season.
AD MVP mode.
Lebron was his ELITE self tonight. Minus a few careless plays in the end everything else was maxed out.
First time I’ve been to a Lebron playoff game. 🦁👑🏀
Old Staples center atmosphere was electric 💜💛💜💛💜 |

Darvin isn’t doing it perfect dude we really expect him to is a rookie head coach? I didn’t.
But to blame everything on him is just stupid |

Yea, not sure I agree there. Dude single handedly drove that lead down to 10 by himself that fourth.

Maybe the Lakers took their foot off the gas. I didn't see most of the game. I was watching the Davis vs Garcia fight. Tank KOd Garcia. When I turned the game on the Lakers were up 20. I got the impression they got complacent.
