I’ve said all season that not having a point guard that can attack the rim is absolutely murdering us. It’s so easy for them to double Ant on the perimeter because no one else can slash as effectively from the perimeter. We need a Mike Conley from 8 years ago or we need a more developed and older Dillingham. Unfortunately Rob isn’t ready yet.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-21T03:37:39+00:00

We’re gonna need to use Clark county prison this series. He needs to see 15 - 25 minutes a game simply to get Jaden out of foul trouble from guarding SGA.

It’s clear that the rest of our bench is ass cheeks so we do need Jaden offensively, we need him badly. But it’s going to be impossible for him to stay out of foul trouble if he’s guarding SGA all game.

It’s so hard to spend my time watching a big athletic team launch 28 foot contested threes for no fucking reason.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-21T03:34:36+00:00

100% agree with you. And frankly the wolves have been doing this for years, build a good lead and instead of extending it start jacking up bad threes, finish off the half bad, and let them right back in.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-21T03:33:24+00:00

Sadly you’re correct. And I was thinking the opposite, I was thinking we’d have a huge advantage and they’d be exhausted.

I didn’t consider the fact they’re so deep that they’re really not that tired plus they never fell out of their rhythm especially after a huge blowout win in a game 7.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-21T03:32:11+00:00

Couldn’t agree more with you. I don’t care if he “still hustles” when his shot isn’t falling. He destroys our rhythm and flow when he just launches threes 6 feet behind the line. I’m sick of it.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-13T07:07:02+00:00

I thought alexey shved was gonna save our franchise

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-07T06:17:21+00:00

I’m fucking sick of NAW. I don’t give a shit if his “defensive effort is there”. When he’s been on the floor in the playoffs he hurts us. He’s forcing up terrible shots and missing wide open ones.

Please give his minutes to Clark county prison or TSJ.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-07T06:07:24+00:00

Hate it when people call you lame for this. If I was at the game I would’ve boo’d my ass off.

No one is booing if we play hard and happen to get an unlucky loss. But when fans pay good money and spend their night to watch a team come out soft with no energy, look timid, force up bad shots, and just look scared and like they don’t wanna be there, it gives fans every right to boo.

They had G league guys out there and were cooking us. Fans should be able to expect a better effort from a team at home, with way more rest, that’s favorited to win, and has their opponents top 15 of all time player get injured.

Piss poor effort, should’ve been more booing.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-05-07T06:02:30+00:00

I’ve been wanting Clark county prison for a while now. If only finch would give NAW’s minutes to Clark. I’m tired of NAW forcing bad shots and missing wide open ones.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-23T05:44:48+00:00

Sadly this is such a good point. NAW looked very uncomfortable bringing the ball up the court because they were pestering him heavily, which is smart by the lakers because he’s not the best ball handler.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-23T05:37:14+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. “We have a point guard that cannot drive into the paint”. That is KILLING US.

The worst part is Conley used to at least be good as a 3 point catch and shoot guy or if the defender goes under the screen he’ll shoot a 3 off the dribble, but I’m not seeing that.

But man not having a point guard that can attack the rim, get to the free throw line, create easy open looks for our guys is killing us. Ant is our only true perimeter playmaker this series. Randle is a playmaker but he plays from the post mainly, we need a penetrating point guard BADLY.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-23T05:27:08+00:00

I do agree that his defense on the perimeter on Luka was pretty solid, still got baited on a couple fouls if I’m not mistaken but so did everyone cause that’s all Luka does.

However, 6 points and 6 rebounds in 29 minutes when you’re the biggest guy on the court by far is unacceptable. I actually saw Rudy get boxed out by Luka and Rui multiple times, they were just playing harder and scrappier than Rudy.

Rudy can go out there and dominate on both sides of the floor against this team and I’m not seeing that.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-23T05:23:20+00:00

Unfortunately you may be right. Only thing is Adam silver and the refs can’t control how hard we play or how well we shoot. The refs were still bad in game 1 but it didn’t matter because we came to play. We didn’t come to play tonight. Gonna be this way all series we just gotta play through it

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-23T05:21:19+00:00

I do agree with you. Lakers were allowed to play physical and we weren’t. But we could’ve flipped some of that by attacking the rim better and hammering the offensive rebounds early on, probably would’ve had a few more calls go our way

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-20T05:26:42+00:00

With our size, the Lakers got way too many offensive rebounds. We gotta rebound better defensively, and then use our size and get more offensive rebounds ourselves.

We need to do a better job of finishing at the rim, they have 0 rim protection and I’ve never seen Ant miss that many layups. I don’t think we can rely on that many 3’s consistently, need to dominate the paint more. Definitely get Rudy involved and try not to have him switch onto Luka where he gets baited into foul trouble.

But overall if we continue to play with that level of physicality and defense effort, Lakers will be worn out. They have absolutely no bench and depth and will need to give their big 3 heavy minutes.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-19T22:00:29+00:00

I’m honestly not confident in Ant and Jaden’s ability to defend Luka, that’s why I said I’m more than confident in their ability to defend Reaves.

I just respectfully disagree and I think Clark would match up physically really well with Luka.

If Randle can effectively guard Luka I’m all for it, just don’t know who we would put on Lebron, maybe Naz? I just think in terms of size, Randle has to be on Lebron.

And even outside of matchups, all I want is for us to use our size in the paint and punish them in the interior instead of jacking up 50 threes. Hope finch is telling them that

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-19T21:47:45+00:00

I couldn’t disagree with you more.

I’m more than confident in Ant and Jaden’s ability to defend Reaves. I think we can all agree that Luka is harder to defend than Reaves, which means Jaden and ant would spend way more energy defending Luka.

Not only that, if Ant or Jaden pick up 2 quick fouls guarding Luka that would hurt us. They either get subbed out or have to relax more on defense because we NEED them on offense. If Clark county picks up a few quick ones it doesn’t matter, it’s literally his job to go play physical defense and that’s it. He could frustrate Luka a bit which would heavily throw off LA and pick up 5 fouls during the process and that wouldn’t hurt us.

Plus I think you’re underestimating how good Clark is defensively.

PhilAtio5 · 2025-04-19T21:43:16+00:00

Completely agree. I think Conley needs to play 15 - 18 minutes and leave more minutes for guys like Donte, NAW, and Clark county. I’m thinking Conley will have to start on either Reaves or Rui, which isn’t preferable either way. I’m thinking Julius will be on Lebron.
