Highest scoring quarter for the Lakers this season. Not bad on a back to back and the 3rd game in 4 nights…which don’t seem to matter against the Kings.
Welp. Hopefully they cool off. Our defense is as atrocious as it’s been in the first quarter for the past few weeks, only we don’t have Domas to prop up the offense when fox leaves. We need at least two of Murray, Huerter, Monk, or Barnes to get really hot really quick.
Keep running pick and roll and there will be some production out of the bigs at least at some point. The issue is this season it seems like once the Kings get blasted on defense even fully healthy it's a loss regardless of the offense.
Brown again, behind the 8 ball on matchups all game. Are the Lakers his krytonite or something? haha. They put LeBron at PF to specifically attack this frontline. I'd put KZ and Dozier in there just to make a statement. Get a few stops and see what that does.
They are seriously running every action at Metu and I have no idea why the Kings staff isn't seeing this. If he's a C he's a mismatch one on offense, that's it.
Why not try Lyles at C? I mean, this has to be showcasing with him going back to the two PF lineup. It certainly wouldn't be unusual for Monte to pull that out as we well know haha.
Fox casually putting in a floater with Westbrook trying to gather his dignity up in the background is quite the image. We can win this. I can see Fox just going off once he's really feeling it.
