Does a Win Thursday against the Lakers Change anything for you?

Well bucher is a hack who knows nothing so what he says literally is equivalent to a kendrick perkins.

 

Certainly would be a good sign but I don't see it happening with how they've played defensively lately. We shall see.

 

I just want them to avoid first round clippers and ill be fine with whatever seed

 

It depends. Will be really tough to beat the lakers. Teams have figured it out - attacking us at the rim. We don't have an answer.

I hate to say this, we may not succeed as we wish with the style we are playing right now with Harden. I have seen five games. The free-lancing slow down iso is making it too easy for the opponent. Harden needs to change in order for us to have a chance to succeed.

 

No. This team can't put together 3 solid defensive games in a row. I'll be impressed then, regardless of opponent.

 

Yes, it would confirm what my eyes are seeing...They only play defense against “good teams.”

 

No, my questions were all answered last night by showing that we could beat the T-Wolves (albeit without Karl Anthony Towns). Anyone who watched last night’s massacre of Minnesota and didn’t come away believing in small ball, along with renewed Title hopes, can kiss my arse!!! If we can duplicate the effort from last night, I don’t see any way possible the Lakers can hang with us. Frank Vogel is going to have to make a difficult decision at some point during the game whether or not he can take the risk of leaving Anthony Davis out on the floor against our small ball lineup.

 

Not really.

I know we still have a lot of bad performances and losses in us. Small ball just doesn't work with these set of players. We have 3 good players in our team..... the rest are average or sucks.

 

There is no reason to believe that we would win this game. We had one good half against Minnesota.

Doesn’t help that the Lakers are coming off a tough loss, AD wants to make up for his missed shot, and they are super close to getting the number 1 seed.

We’re going to get smoked tomorrow.

 

Yes. It would be great

Lakers are one of the biggest teams in league and it will show that our small ball is dangerous and unpredictable which is a good thing (better than predictable that we lose all the time)

 

This last week completely crushed my hopes for this team. I'm not one that usually cares for regular season results, wins and losses happen and don't mean anything really.

We played with extremely high effort when this plan was first rolled out, and it worked. In the playoffs everybody will be playing with high effort, and we just saw what happens when this team doesn't have a decisive effort advantage. The Clippers game I can easily overlook, but we just played 4 absolute garbage teams and we we struggled to pull out one win. One good game against the Lakers won't eliminate what I just saw.

I still think it's likely we get out of the first round, maybe even get hot and pull an upset, but beating the Clippers,Lakers and Bucks, not a snowballs chance in hell.

 

yes

 

They been bad against sub.500 teams all year. They have the worst record of all the playoffs teams against team with below 500 records. That’s a focus issue

 

Ultimate jinx thread?

 

Im wrong again.

 

Technically we ALL got smoked. So you were right

We'll beat the Lakers though!! ..whenever we come back.

 

but these haters will be on luka donkeys nuts if he were a rocket. Double standard.

 

leave perk alone! Don’t tell me you don’t listen when he drops the knowledge. What perk says is truth!

 

Rox beat Corona!
