yeah well done by the lakers!! they played great half court set Defense!! transition is another story Ron Ron played durant really well. Westbrook is going to be the problem in the series... not durant
Close...Fisher's lack of D is the real problem!
I haven't posted in this thread for a while...the Lakers regular season was over just after Xmas and was waiting for the real season to begin!
First of all - welcome back Drew! The Lakers are just too big and experienced for the younger Thunder...although not sure if I like the 'get a big lead then coast to the finish' game - Durant can eliminate any lead in the blink of an eye. Would like to see the boys play at least 3/4 and bench it up in the last 12 mins.
The road through the West is a rocky one this year, with a lot of teams that match up well against the Lakers...we will be hard pressed to advance. In the East however, the NBA has taken the unusual step of cancelling the playoffs and advancing the Cavs to the finals.
Solid start to the playoffs tonight...game 1 is always critical for Jackson coached teams. Bring on game 3 on Wed.
Can't blame Fish. I'm sure his heart and effort is there. He's just too old, even young guys can't keep up with Russ. He's one of the fastest guys in the league.
I think fish needs to be replaced in the starting lineup next season, I reckon they go after Shaun livingston hes a FA and could sign him cheap. a nice big PG that we all know Phil likes
I don't think Livingston will work as a starter in Phil's triangle offense as he can't hit the 3
Pivotal game 3 coming up in around 4 hours. Take this one and I'll gaurantee a sweep which is exactly what we want with another destined series against the Nuggets coming up.
But as always, one game at a time. Would like to see Ron shoot a little less tonight, i'll take a page out of Chaddy's book and say Fisher playing some D wouldn't go astray either since Westbrook runs amok everytime we play them and the longer we can keep Bynum and Gasol on the floor at the same time the closer we are to icing this one even though history says the opposite for those two.
Lastly, the less they depend on kobe the better, would be good to see him go to his on again off again 'facilitator' mode and ISO when needed although he had a decent game 2 compared to game 1.
Get it done Lakers!
i'll be in la on tuesday for game 5... going to pick up a ticket via ebay or stubhub... anyone got any ideas on best way to get there or advice on where best to get tickets?
