That works for me. I don't care who get's credit just LET THEM GO! |
Personally, I think benching black and constantly changing his lineups and rotations is Scott's way of ensuring we get that top pick. I can't imagine someone who has been around basketball as long as he has is that clueless. |
Stealth tank commander? .... you are probably correct |
I don't think there is any other logical answer. Every casual laker fan can see that black, Russell, and even nick young should be playing more. They should actually be playing together because their skillsets mesh very well.
Anyone who watched Russell in college can tell you that the kid will win you games and hes a very streaky shooter. The kid is clutch and when he gets going he's tough to stop. Byron seems to make sure he doesn't start to heat up. He's also at his best in the PnR with a big that can roll (Tariq) and a sniper on the wing (young). You put him in the game with finishers not ball stoppers (Lou) or lumbering big-men that can't defend the PnR (Hibert). |
Exactly!
Maybe we need to have Captain Obvious pay Coach Scott a visit.  |
Hey, if we end up with a top 2 pick all is forgiven in my book lol |
DITTO!  |

Scott cannot ensure we get that top pick, only luck can ensure that.

Why? Is Byron sick for the next game?

| Tarik's been in a suit even when he's on the main roster anyway. |

| BScottism: Tarik will never be as good as Dennis Rodman therefore he can't help the team. |

Tarik has played solid two games in a row. I hope this trend continues.  |

Nice offensively again this night. Had that weird possession where he thought he was a point guard but somehow flipped it in so it's okay! 
Defensively, just awful... He has shown in the minnesota game that he can provide some help defense, but his man defense is still bad. Davis torched him

| We don't even need Whiteside. Let's just roll with Black. Just aim for Durant, Derozan, and one other solid big man. |

We can roll with Black, but he needs to learn Draymond's big butt defense.

Who doesn't Davis torch?
He's arguably the most complete player in basketball.
His only flaw is his health.

Randle did a great job defensively against Davis. Contrast how he did and how Black did and it's night an day

Great. Is a stretch. When he started out yes, but as the game went on Davis got whatever he wanted against either player. That's what great players do. Expecting a backup center to not get torched by the best big man in the game is unrealistic.

Tru dat! ... Davis is one of the best of the best. |

| Random thought: No way Tarik is 6'9. He is barely taller than DLo. I know his Clippers' workout listed him at 6'9 in shoes, just don't see it on the court. |

It's true, Tarik is 6'9, in heels...

| So, did Black finally "Man Up", or was Scott handed his own manhood by management? |

All while Sacre plays 15 wasted minutes & produces a goose-egg stat-line if not for 4 fouls and a turnover.
Black should have gotten some, if not all, of those minutes. |

His help defense is definitely improving. Nice to see

my main man Tarik, astonishing byron played sacre in front of him what a clown coach. I like Tarik very much so, great backup big for us
Edit: Just saw he's a restricted free agent this offseason hmm i bet there are a couple of teams who would welcome him pretty easily. He's a legit nba player |
