Boston going to crush them in Game 6. I don't know if Orlando will get crushed, but I do think Boston will take it in 6. | ||

So apparently everyone is saying that the zone could be beat by a true pg that's able penetrate to score or dish out or whatever, so my question to most of you following lakers really closely, is jordan farmar not the right person to do this? I know fish is clutch with the 3's but is there something I'm missing out on that phil jacksons not putting him in more for those situations? Farmar sucks donkey shit. They need to utilize Vujacic or some other more reliable shooters so they can better beat the zone. Kobe's not gonna bail them out every game, they need people who can hit outside shots. I think their ideal lineup to beat the zone would be Brown, Kobe, Vujacic, Odom, Gasol... that's a perfect mix of slashers / shooters. Also, their defense as Ace said has been HORRIBLE over the past two games. | ||

I mean, I can concede that Vujacic is somewhat of a more reliable shooter, but Artest is just so much stronger that the matchups would be broken if you substituted Vujacic in the lineup; plus he hasn't played in pretty much forever which further breaks up the effectiveness of the team. Also, the way to beat a zone isn't to stack up as many shooters on a team as you can; that just makes you take more perimeter shots, which is what the opposing team wants when they go into a zone. In every zone there's always a way to pound the ball into the paint and take advantage of floor spacing in order to make your bigs contribute more, and the Lakers haven't found out how to do that yet. | ||

Based on my very rudimentary knowledge of basketball, I think the Lakers need to start making their open shots to spread out the Suns' defense, play some much better defense, and get some better play from everyone on the floor other than Kobe and Gasol to make the Suns pay for swarming those two so hard on defense. Like I said in my other post, I just think the Suns have outworked and just wanted to win more in the last two games. If the Lakers can match their intensity and effort, and go back to playing smarter ball, they can retake control of this series. | ||

They just missed a ton of open shots.PHX just kept swarming Kobe and Gasol as soon as they touched the ball. If the other Laker players can start hitting some shots, the game will open up for Kobe and Gasol. | ||

Kobe got a lot of open shots for his teammates and even if he doesn't want to, he's perfectly capable of playing that role. It's Odom and the guards that need to start hitting their shots for everyone else to get a chance. I'm really just curious why more teams haven't used zone in the playoffs. The Pistons used to run box + 1 when they were tearing shit up before Sheed quit on Flip and fucked up the entire lockerroom against the Cavs. | ||

It was looking ugly at the start of the rounds, but now I'm back to being excited. Though the chances are still slim I'm still pulling hard for a Suns v Magic finals. agreed. | ||
