Yea it was the flow of the game and that lineup was playing decent. It would have been bad coaching just to put DLo out there just to do it. The squad needed this win for pure morale purposes. Byron made the correct move for once this season. Ugh I almost threw up while typing that. :x
Do you know what Nick Young did in the Final 5:43 seconds?
O FGA, 0 REB, 0 AST, 0 FTs, 0 STLS, 1 PF
Also Kobe is complaining of his back hurting again... Why? Because Byron played him all 12 minutes of the 4th.
Randle entered the game at 5:43 for Nance who was playing far better than Randle did today.
So again where you may see flow of the game, when you look closer at the actual facts of what happened, Byron is throwing **** against a wall
Anyway on a positive note..
Kobe looked better.. Got into the paint much easier.. Knew when to exploit his matchup (specifically there was a play RJax was on him, Kobe backed him down like 15 feet for an easy 2). He's been starting to piece things together, whether it's passing, screening, playing off-ball. The final thing is just tighten up his shot selection a bit from 3 (tonight was fine) and from the post, and he'll look like a serviceable starter, with the occasional sad Old Man performance.
Hibbert did a solid job of protecting the paint.. There's a large correlation of points in paint when he's on & off. Also leading the league in FT% for a Center.
Clarkson is hitting his 3 with very good consistency.
Nance is a great energy guy. Does a lot of things well.
Nick Young is actually fitting in well with this guys.
