No Laker fans blame anything, we let it go. We had a chance, we had the lead in the 4th, we shoulda pulled away, we didn't. That's it, no excuses.
Get game 4.
If it was a "high school" zone, then how come they couldn't simply pick it apart out there?
I'm talking about how the Suns have given up and admitted they can not defeat the LA Lakers playing man to man defense, so they go to the "zone" defense we were all taught in high school.
These NBA guys aren't used to seeing zones, being as this is a man's league, it takes some time to get used to that. They'll space the floor better, make the adjustments, do some of that high-low stuff with Gasol and Odom and go back to shredding the Suns "D" here in a game or two. They aren't winning 4 games with gimmick defense, I'm sorry.
We're stupid for not figuring it out sooner and making the plays, and I give the Suns credit for the win, but something like that won't last. People gotta know that.
