Kobe took 30 shots? You don't say. He needs to throw everybody under the bus and tell fans to stfu. Leader.
im no coach but when orlando is getting the ball more from hack a dwight, y is he still in the game? where is pau? he's not that bad to play center plus he makes his freethrows. looks like pau is done in l.a.. game on the line n they go to jamison instead of him. wow.
It's too early to laugh at the Lakers. Wait a while after Nash returns before you do that. He will make them better, though not a championship contender IMO. There is also the chance another team will trade for Pau and actually give them something better in return. Stranger things have happened. Look what they got for Bynum. Doesn't matter if the Lakers get a top 4 seed or not. They are capable of losing playoff games at home.
Vaughn who worked under Popvich, used the same hack-a-shaq tactic that he used to apply on Shaq. Magic kept fouling Dwight intentionally in the 4th quarter and he kept bricking. Game over.
Pau is useless at this point, MDA needs to maybe experiment with a Hill/ Howard front court. Meeks imo needs to play more minutes behind Kobe.
Pau will continue logging heavy minutes. If he doesn't improve enough when Nash returns, the Lakers still have to avoid hurting his trade value by sitting him too much. Then again, if he continues to shoot 42% and play like a sissy, nobody will want him anyway. 2yrs/$38 million for a guy that is playing out the string. What team would pull the trigger and give up something worthwhile?
they D'Antoni sucks like fu*k, even a blind fan know they were fouling Dwight on purpose, why the fu*k he did not rest Howard and put Pau to play? always wait for NASH, this sucking coach needs to make some adjustment, if Nash is back, Nash himself can run the pick and roll without D'Antoni, i don't understand why D'Antonio would be playing a big part? as a coach, he can't make some obvious decision when people are fouling Dwight???? and for Dwight, that sucks, this guy is still laughing like a baby, damn, it's time to be serious for Dwight, embrrassing freethrows, damn, more sucking than Shaq..9 of 21, LOL, if he can shot 70% freethrow, they lakers could have won this game too easily. for Pau, damn, i don't wanna talk about him at all. there are some serious problem with this damn team. what a shame ,they can't make it a real super team. serious, everybody out, and KFC come out coach the lakers again ,and Championship this year, is not a big problem at all.
what's good about Hill/Howard? I think Pau may be done in LA, but I think Hill may be too. He's an ok player, but he doesn't make much sense in the system and the frontcourt doesn't look well when he's there.
Come on, Kobe! Only 27 shots with that bunch of losers on your team? You guys would have totally won if you had taken 30, 40, hell, 50 shots! I think that's what you need to do every game from now on. Shoot, Kobe!
They didn't lose the game because of hack-a-Dwight, they lost it because they allowed 30 points in the last 6 minutes. That's on pace for 240 points per game. And by the way, Dwight made 7/14 free throws once they started doing the hack a Dwight. That's ok. 1 point per possession. If you are the coach, you'd be nuts to take a 50% FT shooter out with 6 minutes left, when he's also your best defender.
He needs to take his ripping methods to new level too. Borderline kill Gasol and co. to get them to play better. Only way man.
If the Magics can beat this worthless team of hacks called the Lakers, I see no reason for The Rockets to thump these pieces of crap out of Toyota Center... Puck the Fakers!!!
Maybe it's just me being a pessimist. But it seems that when the Rockets ever play a "struggling" top team, they get beat. Hopefully that changes though. We really can use the exposure against a team casual fans follow.
Im wondering what the chances are that they fire 2 head coaches in the same year...lolllllllll...Lakerland is a total joke...losing to ORL...even Lebron didnt lose to Cleveland...
Saw on Twitter that the Lakers gave up 31 points in 6 minutes to Orlando yesterday!!! If that's right, Hack-a-Dwight isn't the issue.
