Pic 1 - Vando in the corner, MPJ not guarding him at allPathetic, putrid, and LAZY offense in the 4th quarter of the WCF.
Three key possessions with dam near everyone standing above the three point line with ZERO players to rebound a missed shot, zero cutters whatsoever to keep Denver's defense honest. A 24 hout fitness team could guard the Lakers
Easy time on D for the Nuggets. No wonder they won LOL
Pic 2 - That was getting Vando involved in the screen roll but Joker with the drop, if you’re a confident shooter you take that one all day
Pic 3 - Dennis in the corner, his man is clogging up the 2 man game with Lebron and AD
Malone said something about specialists don’t play in the playoffs and he’s right. Vando and Dennis will give you defense, but they aren’t necessarily helping the offense. D Lo should give you offense, but not much on the defensive end…. Maybe play more Lonnie and Rui, two guys that should give you more two way ability I suppose.
Anyhow, expecting a much better performance at Crypto…now we wait for game 3.

I'm old enough to remember when we were down 0-2 vs the Spurs in the WCF and won four in a row.
One game at a time.

Entire process was bad from that lineup starting the 4th with Joker and Murray still in lolPic 1 - Vando in the corner, MPJ not guarding him at all

Pretty sure Malone banked on Ham playing. ****** non AD lineup lol
They got zone busters in rui and AD idk why they don’t take advantage

Parker was abusing GP. Then we decided to be extra physical with him. Can we do that to Murray in this soft NBA?

Rui took 1 shot in 4th. D’lo 0 shots in 4th.

The crazy part is if you told me that 2 games straight we would limit Joker to no points in the 4th, I'd tell you we would win both games.
Clearly we are affecting Joker.
But thier others have been better then ours.

He gets tired. Our gameplan has been focused on Joker. We have to figure out how to contain Murray.

That I agree with. I definitely want the ball in his hands and I like him initiating the offense FOR THE MOST PART.
All I was saying last night was simply that settling for long jumpers is a sign of fatigue. Don’t really who cares who takes shots as long as they’re good ones…. So I probably should have said that I want LBJ on the ball running the offense in the 4th quarter.
I just don't ever want him to ever shoot another 3 ever again. Ever.
Unless he's as wide open as teams used to leave Rondo on the Celtics. And even then, is Rui on the court?

Exactly.
He is so great at getting the ball moving.
Rui or AR could be spotting up.
But now we just gotta concentrate on game 3. Win game 3 and play on.

Why didnt Ham insert Vando on Jamal when he was hot in the 4th? I know hes an offensively liability but if he did, we would have won this game. Do what he did to luka

BUT if that was with Kobe and Shaq...
Bron and AD ain't nowhere close to Kobe and Shaq, who both loved attacking the paint AT WILL. Plus Kobe was DEADLY FROM MID-RANGE which unfortunately neither Bron and AD are.
a great mid range game DEFEATS DENVER. Guaranteed.
Big difference

Lakers gotta stop crashing for offensive boards. As soon as shot goes up, run back. Prevent transition

Nope. D-Fish, Kobe, and GP ain't walking through that door.
DLo, Reaves, Schroder don't have near the defensive savvy and toughness as Fisher, Kobe, and Glove.

Uhhm....No.
Joker putting up triple doubles left n right on us clearly doesn't mean we affecting him, I don't care what quarter it is.
Let's keep it a buck man

Laugh at this all you want but this series isn't going to shift in our favor until TRISTAN THOMPSON and/or Wenyen Gabriel see the floor
