Lakers vs. Knicks--"Unofficial Game Thread"

[AmareForPresident]

If D'Antoni sends williams out again to guard Bynum I'm just gonna stop watching this game. Williams is a good role player, but D'Antoni's obsession with him guarding centers at 6'8 or 6'9 is just insane. Mozgov has to play close to 40 minutes. I hope Turiaf is back for this one.

STAT/Williams at center and Chandler at PF and we will get raped again...like in LA.

Felton should get a rest, he's been horrible lately. Start Douglas and play Mason/RAutins as backup PGs.

You just wrote exactly what i was going to write lol

Man, this hardwood classics special is getting me even more pumped! Let's get 'em, men.

Sweet uniforms.

[KBlack25]

Nice defense so far, 2 early turnovers.. Moved the ball well on the first play for the open 3. Moz has to pull that pass in...

And then a u-g-l-y no alibi ugly pass from Moz...

[KBlack25]

Landry has to knock down that mid-range j. Forcing some nice turnovers so far...SWEET OOOP to Gallo. We are running very well right now.

Yeah, exciting start to the game.

Raymondo has that polished, I'm gunna rampage look to his game at last.

I'm most worried about Fields' shooting. We can't afford a 3/11 scoring night from him.

Not when Kobe...even Artest...seem to be stroking it.

Black Mamba is a straight assassin.

Great 1st quarter we need to play defense like this in all of our games,and btw William guarding Gasol??

[iSaYughh]

The Black Mamba is being guarded well, too. Smh.

We need Gallo to get a lot of plays and touches. His ability to put up a versatile. efficient, relatively low volume, floor-spacing 30 is a key to beat any upper crust team on their game.

I agree.

But what are we really doing defensively, different from our whack defensive games all season? Aside from Felton and Amare playing defense with their heads out of their asses, Gallo continuing his defensive growth, and Moz getting minutes?

Agreed and we need him to get them in foul trouble.

Wow. What a play by Gallo.

Destroys his man defender on the 3pt baseline with patience, a few fakes, then just rampages with a fluid drive, slash, and effortlessly gets the bucket n 1.

He has the ability to do this a few times every game. I hope this keeps up.

Lakers are not pounding it down low like I expected, if they start I think they run away with the game.
