Bet Josh winds up having to bang with Randle a lot as he wreaks havoc with all our thin men and Bron's sure not going to be tasked with that.
Bron is probably bigger than Randle, but there's no way he is going to get into that physical matchup. Last thing we want is him getting hurt by the infamous "Jules Elbow".
Yeah that's my point. Everyone else is thin except Josh and Bron and Julius bounces and hurts BUFF players bigger than him. And he's going to want payback after I am sure in his mind never getting the respect he should have last year after stepping up and over achieving with what Magic wanted out of everyone with their bodies and stamina. His name never mentioned when talking about the valuable young players. He wouldn't be human if he doesn't want to roll in here and put a hurt on all the "golden childs" and skinny new centers, relatively speaking. Can only hope he gets in foul trouble because no one to handle him physically. Tough as Josh is.... man that is asking a lot.
Yeah. Lance has a little meat on him and toughness. Chandler has the toughness but not a lot in his back pocket with those legs. I hope I'm worrying too much about this and Jules has some early charges and gets into foul trouble. But he's a load and this was always my big concern. Giving up that beast factor, and then having to play against it for ever how many years he's in the league as he heads into his prime. Yikes.
Jules was smashing on harrell the last gm against LAC and Harrell a guy I could see giving us trouble as well.
Came in cold 1/2 way through the 4th after sitting a couple quarters, clanked first 3 and drained 2 immediately after. Speaks volumes of this young mans confidence. Wish I could say that for Svi I also like that he didn't adjust after that first foul and kept aggressive not really sure if these were refs or him but they seemed to be pretty damn agro on him.
Hart was PISSED after all those bs calls tonight, rightfully so. I haven’t seen so many phantom fouls called since the 2006 Finals, disgraceful stuff. But he said f the refs and buried two huge threes late, as well as played tough defense on Rudy Gay, who was eating KCP up. Hart is all heart.
Had an awful start with the 3 garbage foul calls, but didn’t let that affect him. Came in the 4th, with Gay and Derozan going off on KCP and Stephenson, and put his stamp on defensively and knocked down two clutch threes. He’s got that Fisher quality about him that gives us a winning edge every time.
He possesses excellent emotional control. Despite his frustration with the BS calls, he kept his composure in the 4th quarter. Played great D on Rudy Gay, and hit clutch 3's. I loved the way he cussed his mouth off after his last 3pt shot.
oh he had an excellent emotional control alright, dude was smart and walked back toward the tunnels and vented his booty off after that last garbage foul called on him
That's the logical substitution so all of those that want it will get to see it. Only thing is BI won't be coming off the bench. Will be interesting to see how it does play out for us at the start of games. WMC holy crap what a bunch of garbage calls on him. 2 were ticky tack and 2 were just ludicrous. Jack*** refs.
Agreed with everyone - sure the first offensive foul call turned out to be right after seeing the review, but the two fouls that followed were complete and utter BS. The fourth foul was completely phantom. He was jobbed. However, those two dagger threes in the clutch were so money and his D helped us spur that epic comeback down the stretch. This dude is my favorite Laker. I'm bummed to see BI go down, but I hope that we at least see Josh return to the starting lineup. He deserves to be there and my opinion is he's a better fit there. By the way let's not forget the two dagger threes he made last game as well in the fourth. He's our best three point shooter at 40%.
he should start but wouldn't surprise me to see KCP start. I complained bout hart being the backup PF then Beasly gets to play and its even worse opts, so I dont mind Hart at backup PF anymore lol
