Did you watch the 4th quarter? Andrew Bynum was not even trying at the low post because he was exhausted. In almost every play he was letting Perkins OR Collison (yeah, Collison) front him and he wasn't even fighting for a post position. Pau Gasol was being his usual soft and unagressive self, but this time he was missing open jumpers too. You can't blame Kobe when his 2nd and 3rd best teammates are playing so passively and not being agressive towards the ball. It seems like Kobe and World Peace were the only ones who still cared about winning at the end. I have a strong feeling that the Lakers are gonna trade Gasol at the end of this season (which will be Monday when OKC beats them). They might even make a coaching change, though I think they should give Brown a shot at coaching a proper season. This type of play by the Lakers is just... uncharacteristic for the franchise. Big changes will be occurring in the next couple years. |
Hmm i didnt notice Bynum being tired (too annoyed with kobe i guess at the time lol). Yeah i do agree with you about Gasol though. He had an open shot near the end of the game where he could've either shot it off the glass or drove it in and drawn a foul but what did he do instead? He tried to kick it back out and the pass got intercepted by Durant. He hasn't been good this postseason and the samething happened to him last year as a matter of fact when they got swept by the Mavs. I would keep Mike Brown too.
