carne how do you feel about this Laker team?
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Friday, November 8, 2013 12:53 PM
i agree with lagoon. the diantoni magic is working well with this group. Nash in still ancient so if you get anything out of him it's a plus. Pau has a little run left in him and he looks healthy. lol nick young.love Jordan Hill's game and the bench has some athletes.
will Kobe come back and not be a total disruption and ball stopper with limited ability or play more the Grant Hill roll in diantoni's system??? haha yeah right!!

basically they will be fun to watch but struggle to make the playoffs and lose in the first round.

unlike last year where they were miserable to watch, struggled to make the playoffs and lost in the first round.

is there any really good reason for leaving Howard in the game when they start fouling. why not just put Asik in? he can hit enough FTs to make the tactic worthless, and you'd be hard pressed to argue that there's any drop off in defense at all.
like what's the rationale for letting the other team pull such a "stop hitting yourself!" move when you have a perfectly viable alternative lineup?

i mean, that's it right?
― ryan, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:13 (ten years ago) link
Using that logic, you would leave howard on the bench most of the time, except to give asik short rests.
― Aimless, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:14 (ten years ago) link
howard shooting ~60% this year is plenty good to make hacka untenable if he can keep it up
― lag∞n, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:16 (ten years ago) link
lmfao that harden gif he looks stoned
― lag∞n, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:17 (ten years ago) link
xpost to Aimless: well it's situational. if they wanna rack up fouls in the first 3 quarters then why not let them? in 4th quarter take him out until 2 mins or whenever the cutoff is.
and yeah he's doing ok with FTs. last night was a clusterfuck on several over levels.
― ryan, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:18 (ten years ago) link
or maybe he looks like a really old man

you know how asik always looks sad? i'm 90% sure this is why. don't make the poor guy shoot free throws late
― lag∞n, Friday, November 8, 2013 2:26 PM (29 minutes ago)
haha yes this is secretly the best part
― twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Friday, 8 November 2013 19:56 (ten years ago) link
ah he's not great but the Thunder tried this tactic on him during the playoffs and he made most of them. irrc it was, weirdly, during the 3rd quarter.
― ryan, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:58 (ten years ago) link
anyway just seems foolhardy to not engineer some sort of response other than "he's gotta make em" especially when you have the personnel to render it moot and hardly sacrifice anything.
― ryan, Friday, 8 November 2013 19:59 (ten years ago) link
well idk i mean that foul was with like 2:12 remaining, any intentional foul inside 2 mins is shots + ball anyway
― twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Friday, 8 November 2013 20:02 (ten years ago) link
they passed him the ball on an inbounds play where the lakers had to foul anyway was the really effed up think that happened
― lag∞n, Friday, 8 November 2013 20:04 (ten years ago) link
i missed the 2h of that game didn't see that, silly move if so rockets

Mark Medina@MarkG_MedinaWhy Mike D'Antoni kept Howard in game when teams tried "Hack a Dwight." "Well, we wanted to re-sign him."

I agree with what u say re Lakers this year. I kinda like watching them despite intense hatred for the organization in general. Dantoni was built for systems like this.

I like Hill too
ok guys i'm watching the celtics for the first time this year.
