[Game] Kings @ Lakers - 3/17/13

Dude there's like one guy who is even remotely close to putting all the blame on IT. Stop your whining, there's been fair criticism of Evans, Thompson, Salmons and IT in this thread.

Then that's who I'm referencing aren't I?

Pisses me off even more that his team mates don't know how to come and set a screen for him. Evans is a good iso-player, but if the team clearly isolates him as part of the offense then you can't blame him for going 1 on 1. If by 7 seconds Evans hasn't made a move to the basket a big should automatically step up to set a screen. Tyreke has proven that he will kick it out to the open guy on a consistent basis. But if nobody moves to get open or to get him open then I'm not quite sure what you expect other than a 1 on 1 contested shot from someone.

That was something I noticed with Aldrich in the game tonight; he was setting really solid screens and almost every time the player with the ball was able to penetrate off of it. He didn't do much and didn't have much of a prayer against Dwight, but I did appreciate his effort and his overall willingness to try on the defensive end. I don't see any reason he can't be an effective 10-12 min C behind Cousins in the future
