I hope you take this the right way, but everytime I read one of your posts, I get an image of your Laker buddies standing behind you, cheering you on, as you type on your computer.
This is the 3rd preseason game under a new coach and with new offensive & defensive schemes. Too make any definitive evaluation of the team or players is simply foolish.
Hawes played part of 1 game before today because of an injuried ankle & there is no evidence that it's totally healed. Could he have gone strong to the rim on certain plays? Certainly, but one game doesn't prove that he won't later on in the season.
Bynum got a couple of fade away jumpers over Hawes in the 1st half. But, half of Bynum's points came from the FT line and Hawes only had 2 fouls called on him defending Bynum. In the end it wasn't Hawes' play against Bynum that cost the Kings the game.
Martin was under the weather so Evans played some SG. But, just because Beno is in the backcourt with him doen't mean Beno wasn't playing SG. Because a player gets 9 assists, playing both PG & SG doesn't mean he isn't s PG and that he wouldn't have gotten the 9 assists if he had played PG for the entire game.
Hawes, JT, Ty & Noc accounted for 80% of the rebounds and 66% of the scoring. If you didn't have an axe to grind, I imagine you could find a better scapegoat to attack. How about PW, who obviously is more interested in experimenting with lineups then in possibly winnning a preseason game. Why else would he leave Sergio in and Martin out, when they needed a 3 to tie the last Portland game.
No matter how often to profess not to be a hater (& it seems to happen alot), you still come off as one to me. (just my opinion, no offense meant)
