It's not Chucky's fault that Rudy wouldn't sub in Tierre, if Chucky was on the Spurs you could bet anything Pop would have yanked him our the first time he messed up on defense. We needed Tierre to slow down the Wiz guards, and we needed more interior defense. Mihm was just as bad as Chucky on defense tonight... I think this team needs to shake up their roster a bit and get more defensive minded players, both in the middle and on the perimeter.

Chucky had a great game. He is our most reliable PG, not great, but definitely the one with the most experience. Anyway, this was a really tough loss, but we did come close. Remember guys, we are still a rebuilding team. Washington's backcourt was also unbelievable today, doesn't happen every day.

he was in foul trouble, turned it over a lot, and thought we were on the road...it just wasn't his game.

I'm sorry, he played well on the offensive end and knocked down open shots (what he's supposed to do). But I haven't seen ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, on D this entire year from him! Right now we don't need offense at ALL, we need someone who can stop penetration; Atkins is not the solution.

Nope, he was in foul trouble and he was poor on defense as well as offense. Unfortunately it seems Rudy only pulls you out of the game when you don't play offense, so that's why Mihm went out but Chucky stayed in.

I could care less how many points Chucky scores as long as the opposing PG score more than him. We needed defense bad in this game.. .too bad Mihm didn't show up and Tierre was benched.

I agree BDG. Brown can handle quick guards like Arenas defensively.

Wizards are doing very well. One thing they exposed us of during pre-season was the back court cuts and penetration from their point guards. And judging from what I seen last night against Sacramento, the problems are still there. Expect alot of quick points from both sides.. might turn out into a shooting contest considering both teams are capable of hitting alot from the perimeter and both love to run. Gonna be intresting. Hopefully Odom can get off his feet again..i dont expect the Lakers to shoot as well as they did last night.

called it. :bang:

Could you tell which game you saw? Offense doesn't=a great game. If that was the case, then the Mavs would average about 80 great games a year. He is the worst defender in the NBA. Vlade could have done a better job of slowing down Arenas. Chucky cost us so many baskets, he cost us the game. You can't let your opponent score 37 points on you, shoot 25 shots, and attempt 15 free throws.

That's why we need to make a trade. We have very few defensive players on this team, and not in the area we need them the most. We need someone to stop the quick PGs that Kobe can't guard, and we need an interior defender to swat away shots and prevent easy shots, a role Mihm is not providing.

At this point we need to make a decision, do we try to win sooner by trading some redundent assets for the pieces we need or do we fully embrace the rebuilding phase and wait for our draft picks to develop and build through free-agency? Mitch and Buss have to make a decision, we can't try to do both at the same time, it's not going to work well.

WHY is Brian Cook playing all of the overtime??? Where the heck is Mihm??? We needed a shot blocker in there badly.

Cook ---> 37 minutes?!?!
Mihm ---> 18 minutes

Why start Mihm, if he's only gonna play a little while. Cook is a shooter, and we already have shooters on our lineup. Cook never trys to block, just trys to tske the charge. And in a game with that many layups, we need a inside shotblocker like Mihm.

And even though it was a dissapointing loss, all realistic Laker fans expected us to go 1-1 on these back-to-back games.

I was pretty close...too bad Rudy was filming a movie during this game, so he couldn't coach the game properly and put Tierre in. He's playing a 9 time champion coach, that doesn't make subs, and foRgot how to coach. It's entitled PHIL.

we need players like bowen, good 3pt shooter and one helluva defender....

No Bowen, he's not what we need. Read my post again, we need a quick PG stopper and a good interior defender.

where was kobe's defense? he let Hughes walk all over him.

dynasty4kobe · by **dynasty4kobe** on Sat Dec 18, 2004 12:42 am

Mihm is not cut out to be a starting center yet. Yes he has talent, but he cannot play "starter minutes" yet. He picks up too many fouls. As a back-up center (which is what he should be playing if Vlade was healthy) he would flourish. Most teams play Power forwards as back up centers anyway (the Lakers do) so Mihm could really take advantage.

And who the hell told the Lakers that Lamar was still in Sac-Town??? The man is good at basketball, get him that damn thing.

you make it seem like tierre brown is a good defender when the fact is that he wouldnt have done any better of a job on arenas...and atkins scored 23 for us on better than 50% shooting...could tierre have done that?

omg

One of the worse defensive "performence" I have ever seen. We looked like the Dallas Mavs out there, but WORSE!!

lakerfool · by **lakerfool** on Sat Dec 18, 2004 12:50 am

Well, to tell yall the truth, i kinda expected a loss...we seem to never do well in back to backers...

Please give some credit to Washington...they have a very good team in hand

Yeah, he didn't have too good of a defensive game either. But then again, a lot of Hughes' opportunities came off of Kobe helping guard Arenas once Atkins let him penetrate.

Yes, Kobe should have D-ed up more, but I won't put 100% of the blame on him tonight. It was team D that killed us-- look at the layups.

Thsnk god I had to go somewhere tonight and didnt watch the game.
