so Blake wasn't guarding Lucas in that Tor game? we'll see on Tue, when he goes up against Udrih, a PG we have trouble with even when he was starter

You have used this argument before and when I went back and broke down the opposing players every point and showed it wasn't Blake that got lit up you were quiet. I think you mistake what is team and rotational defense for straight up man defense. Sometimes the gaurds are supposed to funnel the player to Dwight and then weakside rotation is suppose to come. If that is the case then Dwights man is supposed to be covered by backside help. If Dwights man scores people scream that it was the PG that caused the problem even though it was by design and the weakside player actually screwed up. Weezy just posted something about no one stopping other pg's which is true the only thing our guys are to do is make shots difficult for them and force them out of their comfort zones. Blakes man never gets a break when he is in the game. Even when he gets beat he is pretty good at recovering. Again, I only see this as simple hating on Blake for unjustified reasons.

4 points and 8 assists vs laker killer Beno Udrih. WTF

He was dropping dimes all night, very nice.

Why do you keep saying "wtf"?

I thought that expression was only used if you'd be surprised? Blake just had another really solid game like he's been doing ever since he came back from injury.

I like his assist numbers lately.

SOLID.

props, this was a good game so people dont think I dont offer any when he does have these types of games...hopefully it conts. tomorrow.

Really did a great job out there heading up the second unit who had a lot of success tonight (for their standards). Is it possible that he's benefiting from playing for D'Antoni than any other Laker?

Has just been playing PHENOMENALLY as of late. Great to see!

I really love watching Blake run the 2nd squad. He plays so well with guys who move. He would have 2-4 more assist if MWP could finish around the paint. lol.

Paging, Max Kellerman

Not to be a jerk, but I thought for sure you'd be on him for missing some shots.

Maybe being teammates with Nash has helped with some of the finer tricks of the PG trade as well.

He was outstanding tonight!!! Big props to Blake for playing so well lately.

Jackson said It takes a season or more to adjust playing in the Tri.

Shot is off in March but his assists are up ... does a good job at developing a chemistry with the 2nd unit players ... happy for Blake , he's a hard worker and always giving his all

he's doing a good job running the offense.

hopefully he can pick up the defensive intensity, harris is going to be a handful again.

Props to Blake he's developing a nice game and finding Jameson for easy baskets.

good on Korver in the 4th. never left him and never have him space to shoot. something Meeks Kobe etc failed to do although Meeks did try but double screens is hard for anyone to get through. our team defense isn't good enough to counter that for any team

He is ... definitely playing the best season as a Laker yet

So I am going to bump this............... All the people I have been arguing with need to be just as eager to praise this guy for today.

GREAT GAME BLAKESTER

beast game

I don't expect him to duplicate this, but these are the types of games we knew he was capable of when we signed him. Man he was good, hit huge shots, hustled on D and really all over the court, fantastic game.

About 2 years late but this is the guy we thought we signed. What a game. Incredible.

Best game as a Laker, loved his fight, passion, passing, shots, defense, everything tonight!
