Diaw is our only bench player showin up

What happened to Hill? Either he regressed or he's much better suited for uptempo basketball then halfcourt ball.

Has Vlad Radmanovic ever hit a 3 against another team other than the Suns?

Even as a Sonic or Clipper he always kills us

And the fouls not being called are a joke already

Amare is playing like a prick today. He's calling for the ball without getting any good position. He isn't moving, isn't really making decisive decisions with the ball (held the ball too long!) and is playing one on 5 basketball. If I were Porter, I'd put in Boris. Boris is playing great today and I'd be upset if he doesn't get more minutes that he deserves.

If Boris goes in the frontcourt it should be over Shaq IMO, not Amare.
Shaq is turning the ball over way too much and his passing game is off...

And it starts with Amare. We can't have Amare guarding anyone of Gasol or Bynum, it's a layup or dunk waiting to happen. Seriously, dude isn't playing on the other end of the floor. Heck, he doesn't even play good on O. He better picks up his game quick.

Chuck's right.

The problem with that is Amare can't guard a chair when his life is depends on it.

I don't usually take Sir Charles real seriously, but he's right, we gotta play quicker. Nash and Amare is crap in half court and we shouldn't slow down our game so much for one guy.

Uhhh, what?

Gasol has done nothing tonight...

Amare has 6 boards so far

Shaq gotta take care of the ball when he gets touches.

I wouldn't say that Shaq's been doing a better defensive job then Amare, he's still been gettin burned on the pick n roll.
Taking out Shaq also gives us the option to run, which is better for most of the team.

mkot has alwaysed bagged on Amare. Nothing new. I would say its a TEAM thing right now. the better team are the lakers, and you can see it. Until they come up with a better team defense, no when to double, then this will happen to our team.

how about dragic?

It doesn't matter how many points Gasol or Bynum didn't score, Amare isn't putting in any effort tonight, on both ends. This is the kind of game that I wouldn't be against sitting him tonight. He's just a black hole and killing any rhythm this team tries to get into. He is doing that "holding the ball over his heads for 6 seconds until throwing it back out to the 3pt line" thing.

Post Boris. He's playing great tonight and we should keep going to him until the Lakers prove then can stop him. Shaq is ineffective tonight as well. Post Boris!!
