    I am shocked at how stoic the Lakers have been throughout this series.  Bynum cast off the Nuggets after they built a 3-1 lead, another sign of his immaturity.  Gasol and Bynum got embarrassed during game 6 in Denver and Kobe publicly called them out, stating he couldn’t wait for Metta World Peace to return since he’s the only guy on the Lakers he can count on to compete night in and night out.  The Nuggets are red hot and playing with a passion, intensity and fire in their bellies.  Lawson is making Sessions and Blake look silly, Javale and Faried and dominating in the post and the Nuggets have all the momentum.  If the Lakers don’t come out with any sort of intensity or passion in Game 7, they will be in SERIOUS trouble.

    lakers fans are also very dissapointed in the lakers bigs, but javele and faried are dominating?

    bynum: 17ppg…11rpg…3.7blcks

    pau: 11ppg…8rpg…2.2blcks

    mcgee: 9ppg…9rpg…2.8blcks

    faried: 11ppg…10rpg…1.3blcks

    plus javele hasnt been left alone one on one to gaurd bynum at all. The fact they are so close is very dissapointing though.

     … lack of real quality coaching (and adjustments) by mike brown in my mind…

    he’s not able to get his players focused on the game… bynum is clearly out of his mind (despite having a good year) and gasol seems to be less and less involved.

    Too bad cause they have maybe the only roster to really compete with the heat (thanks to their bigs).

    Yep, George Karl made a defensive adjustment to start bringing double and triple teams from all over the place. The Lakers finally made them pay for it last night… Lakers 11-24 3PT.
