Payton posting up isn't the answer to the Lakers problems. It isn't necessarily the offense either.

Totally agree. I'm suggesting that it is another option. Payton really doesn't fit into the triangle. He isn't a great shooter. The triangle needs good outside shooters. The Lakers have four stars, but only use two. Payton is regulated to bringing up the ball and passing off to the wing or the high post. Malone is regulated to 15-17 foot jumpers. I just think that the Lakers should put pressure on the Spurs by changing up what they do at times. Allowing Payton to isolate on Parker is not much different from Bryant isolating on Bowen. Again this will not be their total offense, but will be a variation from what they do normally.Comment

Re: Spurs/Lakers game 2
Parker is a playmaker though. He can control the tempo of the game. The Lakers don't defend the pick and roll well. It's a 50/50 chance they can get a stop on a pick. When the Spurs do it twice, the Lakers D falls apart. Remember game one when Parker called TD to the top left of the arc. He did a double pick, drove, they collapsed on him, he kicked it to TD for the bankshot jumper on the side. The Lakers D has been a concern all year, and I'm not sure Malone and Payton at this stage was really what they needed. They should've let Devean George go and not give him all of that money, and added a few good role players that could help them against the Spurs. Rush, Walton, Cook aren't it.Comment

That can go both ways. If they intentionally hurt Parker and there's no serious suspensions, then it'll be open season on anyone who drives the lane.
<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">
I didn't say anything about hurting someone. I'm talking about giving a hard foul. Just hard enough to make him think about going back into the lane. If it means that Parker short arms a few of his tear drop shots or misses a couple of layups then the foul was sucessful. Hard fouls in the playoffs is common place fellas. (At least it used to be)Comment

Re: Spurs/Lakers game 2
I agree, there should be no dunks or layups allowed. The Lakers have barely been in foul trouble the last two games. They should really send a statement to whoever gets into the paint that they will not be able to finish easy. I don't want anyone to get intentionally hurt, but it's been too easy for those guys to drive and score at the bucket. Bodies need to be hitting the floor.Comment

C'mon man. They let Houston do it in the entire series. The Lakers don't play that kind of ball. Other than Karl Malone. I don't want to see him hit anyone because that dude is dirty. He'll end up elbowing 30 stiches in TD's mouth.Comment
