Man...do you actually watch the games? Or do you continuously loop stats...Fuck offensive ratings...trust your eyes...

Everyone knows that the Lakers' defense is on the perimeter is poor...

But anyone watching the games also knows that this can be overcome by simply taking advantage of your own strengths offensively...In other words, the Lakers should be slowing the game down...They can cut down the amount of possessions another team can get...And more importantly they can cut down on the missed 3's that lead to fast breaks from the other teams...They can play muddy ball...And they can do that by playing inside out and letting Kobe and Nash run the flow...

But your favorite coach doesn't understand this because he has to stick to his formula...
