Sun. 4/15 - Lakers vs Mavs - Predictions & Comments

Talk about late whistles... 2 guy wrestling Bynum hanging off his arms?...

why would you giv the ball to drew with a double literally already on him. and whyd it take that long for a whistle...he was fouled like 10 seconds before the whistle

Good try by Matty.

WTF blake SHOOOT!!!!!

Blake should have taken that 3.

Blake needs to take the 3 shots that he had wide open. C'mon stop being passive.

That's why we shouldn't play Blake at the 2 guard. Sessions was TRIPLE teamed, and Blake was afraid to shoot. Glock would have been automatic.

Man Bynum really needs to start recognizing and passing out of double teams ...

isnt it awesome when blake is playing with sesh and thinks hes the pg...and when he has a wide open 3 he passes it up. amazing! glock would have drilled that or a floater on the drive before

Forget about the playoffs if he's gonna play pick and roll defense like that. Westbrook, Parker, CP3, Dragic, Lawson, any penetrating/mid range shooting PG will kill us. He can't be that soft around screens, he's letting West get wide open looks.

What do you want him to do? He got double screened on that play. How would you get around two screens?

it's not just one play, it's EVERY play. Don't tell me you haven't noticed his very poor pick & roll D.

Bynum was pushed there.

Nice Bynum.

To be fair, Stevealosha is playing solid D on Terry today.

Nice move by Bynum. He was held before that play, too.

Srsly. I'm one of his biggest defenders, but the dude has no balls.

Close game, hopefully we can get the lead before the half.

without a double team, Bynum cannot be stopped...

I agree, Blake has to shoot. He's not that bad, I don't know what he's afraid of. Take the #%# shot.

Blake for the love of God please stop passing up shots.

FREE GLOCK! and why not play ebanks again...he gave us 4pts and hasnt missed. d couldnt get any worse...plus long arms would help

And somehow the Lakers can never exploit the double team, why is that?

Low IQ.

I like his defense today, but damn if you're going to be getting wide open shots, especially playing SG you have to shoot those. You just have to.

If we can sure up that pick and roll defense, we would be fine. Delonte is killing us right now. He's getting anything he wants. He averages 9 pts on the season and has 16 already in the FIRST HALF on 8 of 11 shooting.

I just think the guy's getting over maligned here. He goes under the screens because the coach tells him to and we rip on him. He goes over the screens on the play you refer to and you rip on him. It seems like some people here don't play basketball. Sessions teammates need to tell him there is a screen coming when it happens and they need to cover for him when their guy picks.

Pick and roll defense is TEAM defense. It's not one guy only.

Yeah, definitely low IQ when you stand around and don't cut, need to take advantage of Drew's high IQ.
