TheRealMcCoy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 This is true, but still would like to try and win games that are winnable. I was getting annoyed that Kieff had been sitting on the bench and Gasol never came back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Credit to Gary Trent for being on fire. Could've used Caruso on him. Blazers bigs also ate on the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would've been signed if he waited it out. But, yeah not having his rebounding and verticality hurts in some match-ups for sure. A defensive/rebounding big shouldn't be too hard to get at the trade deadline or on the buy out market though. No need to panic over a guy that will get a handful of minutes.

Leader Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Portland's Centers dominated the boards - Gasol is on the bench in crunch time - and Kuzma reverts to his "brick chucking" self. Not a good night for the LAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good night for the LAL. Blazers just put out more effort all night. Besides Schroder most guys didn't bring it in that regard. Dame got a BS bank three and also a BS 3 PT shooting foul.... you can point to the score difference right there, but overall Dennis held him in check most of the game. AD was especially lazy tonight. Wasn't putting up much effort on either end. He has these games occasionally and it really hurts us offensively especially. Trez was out there for 16 straight minutes in the 2nd half and they didn't even try and feed him at times when we were struggling offensively and he's good at getting a bucket down low. I didn't get it. Like you said we didn't see Gasol again after Trez went in. Vogel was trying things out, but they weren't working. We lost by a small margin in a game we were sloppy, our best player looked pathetic, and our rotations were questionable. It's definitely a game we deserve to lose.

Troy Brown Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 idk if you can say anyone kept dame in check tonight. 31 points on 10/16 is pretty great. schroeder looked good, yeah, but wouldn't say he or any laker played well defensively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trez is bound to play center more than we would like in the regular season cause AD doesn't really wanna do the dirty work all year. Obviously if we had Dwight or another center to throw in there for small stretches that would mitigate the amount we need to put Trez in at the 5 right now, but we don't have that at the moment, so it is what it is. When the playoffs come around it will be mainly AD at the 5 as the rotation gets condensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schroder was running around screens with him all night and taking it to him on both ends. Schroder got the better of him this match-up.
