*Official L.A Lakers Discussion Part 4 Thread*

[AmazinJason]

Ya'll need to calm down.

You don't have to be quick and athletic to be an up-tempo team. You just have to get down the court and get to your spots and constantly be on the move.

Lakers just need to play better defense. Obviously that is asking for a lot given that D'Antoni is the coach. But Dwight is still getting healthier and interior defense should improve. Kobe honestly needs to put in more effort on the defensive side of the ball. We can't afford to have 2 useless defenders in the backcourt.

[GPx]

Man we couldn't get any timely stops yesterday. Every time we got up 3 or 5 they'd nail a 3.

Oh and as much as I love Pau, dude is a liability out there. Yesterday Meeks should have closed the game since Philly was running such a small lineup.

[DFINC]

I don't understand why D'Antoni can't play Hill in the starting lineup and move Pau to the bench to put him at center (which is where he'll produce anything at all) along with MWP.

Making proper adjustments...not even once.

[FGCHENG]

Next 5 Games: Clippers, Nuggets, Rockets, Spurs, Thunder

Decides whether we make the playoffs or not..srs

Good test. I really like this, honestly if we don't win a good portion of these games, we don't belong in the playoffs because we won't reach the Finals anyways.

[Lasers1]

Do you guys realize we are paying Pau $19 million to be Luke Walton?

All he's good for is ball movement (because he's scared to shoot) and hitting a cutter with a nice pass 3-4 times a game

“I’ve been working hard these past few summers. Last year, playing with the Lakers, I was told when I could shoot. If I made mistakes, I’d come out of the game,” said Barnes. “This year [Coach] Vinny [Del Negro] has installed a lot of trust in me. He lets me go out there and play my game. If I mess up, he still sticks with me and that goes a long way with any player.”

except luke walton didnt steal major minutes from the actual good players. pau is stealing minutes from hill, mwp, jamison all players who are twice as effective as this pos they call gasol. he cant even hit his mid range J anymore ffs

[Shortofdaybreak]

[Citric]

If there is one game I want the lakers to win, it's definitely this one. Let's go!

[Ephedra]

Haven't been this excited for a Lakers game since the playoffs vs OKC last year. I think this will show if we've got what it takes and if the team can man up on D. Clippers are no joke.

[ItzYerrp]

come on lakers!!!!

[IllPhill]

make a fking shot meeks

[Lakersbake]

honestly Mitch f'up (again) hiring D'Antoni...

Jim gets the blame...

[ItzYerrp]

were gonna get phucking blown out

[IllPhill]

whats the point of having pau when none of his shots are closer than the ft line? might as well start jamison

[SICKK]

[SICKK]

blake is wayyyyyy too athletic for pau. get him out of there. letting blake eat him alive like this will destroy his fragile psyche even more

[yungbreezy]

Pau must suck D'Antoni's dik after every game to keep getting minutes. Dude's a bum.

[IllPhill]

giving up 60 in the first half every night is standard now. not even the old sh*tty no-defense warriors were this bad

[nikonD70s]

i hope we trade pau within this month for some younger atheletic players.

[BrawnySwoleman]

18th best record in the league, but 8th in point differential. You'd think it would balance out eventually, but the schedule just gonna get tougher. Still have to play OKC 3x, and Miami and SA twice.
