trade nash for rondo maybe celtics will bite since hes injured

[noknife]

A win against any NBA team is a good win. They are halfway there, they have figured out how to get big leads, where 2 weeks ago it seemed like they played every game from behind. Now they have to figure out how to protect and extend those leads.

No one here has said the lakers are "good".

good point

Playing 48 a night should be the next step.

I still cant believe nash misses 2 FT's. Probably the rarest thing you will ever see

stu lantz should be a coach

Only 1 thing to say Win is a Win!!! As bad as that was in our position we can critique all we want but we got the W. I will take us playing like [expletive] and winning every time over losing.

Judging from what I am seeing, the Lakers squander yet another big lead?

[Majesty]

Clark and Nash both miss two free throws after the Lakers get two key stops and what should be a 5 point lead is a 1 point lead. Luckily we made key stops near the end. Nice defensive, clamp. Its good to see us play defense NOT from behind. But we need to get a flow for 48 minutes of pure effort. We're "starting" to get it but not fully. Hope dwight plays against brooklyn.

we won 5 in a row in DEC when Nash came back remember? No blowing leads nothing, everyone was used in an optimal fashion. We're 4-1 or whatever right now because the competition we face absolutely suck...New Orleans, Detroit, Minnesota lol i mean really. 4 straight blown leads. Enough is enough

Oh yea totaly neglect that we beat OKC also playing this way. oh and also love how you totally ignore that nash came back after we had won 3 in a row. Nash had a great game agiasnt the warriors and the knicks but after those 2 games, we went 3-11 with the nash driven offense. Until we played against the jazz on jan 25 where kobe started playing the facilitator role and racked up 14 assist and a easy win we were p;aying like [expletive].

So lets see here. in total after nash came back we went 5-11 with the nash driven offense and we now are 4-1 with the kobe facilitator offense and have only done bad in those games where kobe wasnt going full into the facilitator mode by taking 17 shots in the suns, and 20 in todays piston game. Every time kobe plays to use his team we win and dominate. When we stopped and kobe started shooting lik crazy we let the pistons get back in the game.

Even a partially kobe facilitator offense is doing better than a nash driven offense. Nash cannot run the half court. He is a fast break quick scoring point guard. He works much much better as a scorer on this team.
