Lakers lost again

There was absolutely no match at all. The players were not playing hard, and to make it worse, they misfire from all over the place. There was no triangle offense, and they followed the opponents’ pace of playing, which is a huge, huge mistake.

Well, give credit to the Suns. They just couldn’t miss a thing. Amare was there, Nash was huge. The matrix cleared the boards, and the reserves played extremely good. Yeah, the Brazilian Blur is not a myth, and it shows in today’s game. What more can the Suns do?

What’s Phil Jackson’s plan? I used to admire his steady defensive strategies during the days where Pippen and Jordan played. They were named the all-NBA Defensive team. However, the Jackson’s Lakers are not even near to where they were. If you ask me who the best defensive player in his team right now, I could say none. Not even Kobe, coz he’s more of a scorer right now, like Tracy Mcgrady.

I thought the Suns main key player is Steve Nash. How about putting Kobe on Nash? I think this will be a great match-up. I’m not worried about the Laker’s triangle-offense (other than the young centre, whom to my opinion, is a great disappointment). As long they play some good defense, offense will come by naturally. I used to remember when John Stockton and Karl Malone played the pick-and-roll, the Bulls always double-team them. Of course, the Nash-and –Amare version is much more quicker, and it’s definitely not easy to break them up.

Do something, Phil ….
