There were plenty of players that are unguardable one on one, Gasol was the player last night. Yi, lopez or whoever could not guard him one on one. There were no double team, not much help D, or whatever from the Nets, not saying that would helped, Lakers can beat you pretty much from anywhere, I guess Frank decided it is best not to double and live with Gasol scoring. That's not what killed the Nets though, Lakers bench just destroyed our bench. Three of LA's bench players got 10+ points, while our bench completely sucked. Dooling 0-5 shooting, 3 turnovers, -25 +/- in just 18 minutes. Ryan Anderson 1-8 from the field. Sean Williams fouled out in 8 minute of playing time. I think Frank let the bench on the floor for too long in the 3rd quarter, which let the game slip away. You can't blame Yi for losing, I thought like I said his rebounding was good and was aggressive which we weren't seeing from him before.
Not much you can do, when a guy whacks your arm and the refs let it go because it's Kobe bro. However I do agree about his outside shooting. He needs to nail those open jumpers at a much higher %.
Game Ball: Frank for resting VC and Harris at the end for today's game. Lame Ball: The Lakers fan who said he can "cover his ass" with my signed VC jersey in the rain and the other Lakers fan who said "Vince goes last" while in line to the urinal.
Yi did get stripped a few times, but lopez got striped like 6 times. They are rookies and will learn eventually.
