So Pau-LO-Powell can see time on the floor together. Yet how many times have we seen Drew-Pau-LO? Oh yeah, never. Phil's still experimenting with his lineups and it's Game 4 of the WCF. What a fucking joke. Do we even have a set rotation going? At times Jordan's the 1st guard off the bench, other times it's Sasha, today it's Shannon. Drew's playing well and Phil decides to bench him for LO, then Powell. Seriously this is fucking laughable how the guy still doesn't have a set rotation and we're already in the WCF. He's gonna be experimenting with lineups Game 7 of the NBA Finals?
Yeah, when I saw Powell, I was like "WTF!! why is HE in there?!" I hate seeing him shoot those jumpers. >_<
You can definitely say that's true cause Powell never has his back too the basket. All he does is shoot those midrange J's. >_<
Re: Does Lamar Want to Go? Some of those fouls were bullshit as well. I like JP early on in the year, but I don't know what happened. Regardless why the hell is he able to play SMALL FORWARD, when Phil stubbornly refuses to use LO at the 3 to play a Drew/Pau/Lamar lineup?
Re: Does Lamar Want to Go? More weird stuff, though at least Phil didn't try the Powell thing too long. Powell was just as bad as Farmar in his slump in the latter half of the year. He could not guard anyone and is Kwame Brown on O except he only takes ugly jumpers instead of ugly shots in the paint, and he isn't the player Kwame was on Defense.
Re: Does Lamar Want to Go? Remember when JP used to grab 5 offensive boards in 2 minutes of play. Those were the days. Then when LO went down he stepped up and destroyed Houston. 17 points baby! After that Phil played him along with Farmar/Sasha and it all went down hill. lol
i trust phil, even if he has been a bit weird in these playoffs, we got past houston when he said we had notjhing to worry about, and i think we will get past denver. I think phil wants us to build momentum into the next series, and he knows that if it has to come down to a game 7 then lakers have the best chance of winning the close game. Im not worried at all in terms of phils judgement, i am worried about fisher though, he is going to run out of fuel completely, i think he might have to retire after these playoffs.
I take solace in that Farmar is heating up somewhat, remember when he was Kwame at point guard a few weeks ago? He's past that a little bit at least. :O
