WCF - DEN @ LAL game 4, Monday; do or die 

Post#1 » by stan francisco » Mon May 22, 2023 3:41 pm

Will this be the last game of the season?

What we’ve tried against Denver hasn’t worked. A serious change-up is needed. Denver has been feasting on D Lo’s flank for three games straight.

Coach Ham? Did you notice? It’s do something new or die time. Time to take a calculated risk, or be sure to be eliminated.

I know Bamba might be available today. I’d give them a different look today. What we tried so far made it 3-0.

Defense!!!

PG: Reaves
SG: Vanderbilt
SF: James
PF: AD
C: Bamba

Give D Lo’s minutes to Christie! He’s a baller and a has a cool head.

The outcome of the games we've played against Denver really just came down to a few head scratching possessions down the stretch, mostly by LeBron... Not sure what we can do about that to get better, but they were winnable games...
So, no real reason we can't win this one either...

Good start. Too bad benching D'lo and Vando came a game late.

Someone please wake up AD so he knows it’s time to play.

KCP trash as he was called here by some is outplaying most of our rotation guys.

Bench D Lo. Murray on D Lo spells buckets. Two already.

We’re going to win this game. James is balling. Keep playing inside out. Davis needs to post up Jokic more.

I mentioned a few games back that we should give TT a few minutes to see what he could do… good to see Ham’s finally giving it a try.

Bron is playing his heart out. AD is playing like it’s the preseason.

AD probably couldn’t play with a guy like Kobe. Pau was probably more physical than AD and was considered to be soft.

The Nuggets are whining too much.

I expect that to be changed in the second half. Better be ready for an offensive onslaught.

Post up Jokic!!! He has three fouls.

The aggressor always wins. Right now, that’s us. Keep it that way in the second half.

Thank you for that LeBron.

Thank you for making the lineup changes, Darvin.

It’s come too late. But let’s get a W and start with that.

If AD came to play today we'd be up more. Lebron got that secret sauce tonight. We need him to keep it up.

Kyrie is not even being subtle about his desire to come here. I’d welcome him with open arms.

How many lay ups have we missed in the 3rd quarter? 6?

Giving up all these second chance opportunities are inexcusable

Lebron looks tired. I think it’s over for us.

Lakers forgot they were scoring on the inside which lead to outside buckets
