In the LOSS to the Lakers at the RG in February (when there was no Wallace), we went to Aldridge in the post on every play down the stretch. Each time, he shot a brick while Kobe hit everything and led them back. We went to Aldridge AGAIN to win it and he missed once again. He was scoreless in the 4th and scoreless in OT where I think we started to give up on him.
Actually, if you remember that game, the Lakers put Kobe Bryant on Miller, yet Bryant sagged off of Miller to double the entry pass to LMA. Friday night, Nate changed things up by taking the ball out of Miller's hand, and had Wallace and LMA run the inside-out game.
It's not as simple as Aldridge missed shots in the first game against the Lakers. Nate adjusted his coaching to take the ball out of Miller's hand on the post entry.
