    The offeense gotta be faster, you won't win by slowing the game down, that is what the Lakers want.

    Can't blame the refs here.

    Lakers fighting for their life.
    Can they keep this up 4 quarters?

    Lakers are a lot more physical on D today. They know Foster has their back so they are taking a leaf out of OKC's book and are continually fouling

    Have to start hitting shots. MDA needs to help them make the adjustment against that weird zone trap the Lakers are playing.

    We really have to play with greater urgency. Right now we are in a but of a lull.

    Lakers defense looks really good here with that zone they are playing. I think you gotta speed it up. Our half court offense isn't breaking them down.

    Let’s keep within 10 in the first half.

    get some adjustment during half, and some inspirational speeches from PJ and Russ, and reset in the 2nd half

    They're doubling down on drives. Guards need to dish when the double team comes and make sure the spacing is there.

    welp, the lakers already made their adjustments. As usual, it only took a game for the other team to figure the Rockets out. Moreyball has no counters.

    That's not necessarily an indication of a poorly officiated game. There's calls that don't get called also that should have or called turnovers that take away possessions.

    3 of 15 shooting this far, they must play offense at a higher pace. As soon as they swing, drive and dish they are wide open.

    There needs to be some off ball action. The Lakers are taking away the dribble drive.
