If we're being honest, the Portland Trail Blazers ' 100-93 Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night is whatever you wa
THANK GOD FOR THE RETURN OF SPORTS!!!!
Now luckily this is only game 1 of the NBA playoffs for the lakers. Hereās a few things I took from this loss that the Lakers gotta do to be ready for game 2:
1. Gotta figure out what to do about the KCP issue. They played him 29 minutes in game 1 and he only had 1 point, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 3 steals. Not gonna get it done. Heās not known for defense, heās known for his shooting. But with shooting like that, I think Coach Vogel is wasting his time hoping heās gonna show up. They need to bench him and give some run to other players like J.R. Smith or Dion Waiters. Dion only played 1 minute in this game after playing meaningful minutes in the regular 8 seeding games before the playoffs. Based on how KCP played, Swish and Cheese wouldāve only made a positive impact to the game and may have been able to help the Lakers get the win. Not good player rotations; bad for Coach Vogel.
2. Anthony Davis had a decent game, or should I say āHALFā? Correct me if Iām wrong (not likely) but A.D. the majority of his points in the first half. WHat happened after that? Too much jump shooting and not enough posting. I get that the 3-pt shot is important in todayās NBA but we also have to remember what makes you difficult to cover: your height, strength and capability to get high percentage shots without much difficulty. Itās gotta be your bread & butter when all else fails. THen you can go back to the outside jumpshooting.
3. Bron has the ball waaaaaay too much. We have to find a different player that can create a shot for himself and be a playmaker for others. Too many times we saw players like Danny Green and Caruso do what they can to compensate. I get the āby committeeā standpoint, because itās always about the next man up when your key players arenāt getting things done but stick to what you can do, donāt do too much out of your realm. You have to know the guys youāre playing with, what their strengths and weaknesses are and try to make pivotal contributions based on that.
4. Dwight Howard has to stay out of foul trouble. Heās been a cornerstone for that second unit but he has to be out there to make a difference. THe team has to help when heās left out there on an island with a smaller player. Switching and calling out coverages on defense can help solve this problem. The Lakers are a very good defensive team, a lot based on Howardās contributions. We already know how much JaVale McGee can or cannot do based on his asthma, so itās important that Dwight stays out of foul trouble so he doesnāt mess up the player rotations.
5. AND LASTLY...WHen itās closing time, weāre counting on AD and Bron to make a difference. In game one, with 3 minutes left to play in the 4th Quarter, the Lakers were up 8 and lost the lead quick based on bad decisions and not capitalizing on bonus plays. Both AD and Bron missed 2 key free throws with the game in limbo in the last few minutes. Thatās 4 points they would have had if they made them. They both missed 2 free throws. You canāt do that. Thatās not championship basketball.
Honestly, If the Lakers cross off at least 2 of these 5 points I have made, Iām pretty sure theyāll win the next game, but I think itās important for the long hall to get all these things under control. Theyāre all ready 3 games from elimination. The time to fix it is now.
You know, I canāt help but think the obvious now. So August Alsina came out with his first album interestingly titled āTESTIMONYā, and given what we all have now heard confirmed by both August and Jada this album from beginning to end is based a lot on their proclaimed āEntanglementā. Just give a quick listen to this one track titled āPorn Starā, and begin to piece everything together. Really interesting revelation. Just a thought.
Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered several sectors to once again shut down Monday amid an increasingly concerning coronavirus surge.
So welcome everybody to the rollback! I bet youāre wondering, āWhatās REALLY going on around here??ā Personally, itās not really hard to see that due to spikes in the numbers of people infected by the COVID-19, mixed with the high numbers of people that choose not to wear masks or promote social distancing weāre back at āsquare-oneā. I get it...weāre all tired of the restrictions and just want to get back to some sort of normalcy in our daily routines however itās hard to do that when there isnāt a vaccine out there as of yet. Which means that until we get a vaccine, we must buckle down and make some sacrifices to help decrease the numbers of people being infected or dying from this pandemic. Gotta stop looking at it as a impediment of your rights; weāre trying to live and get a control of this. For many of us that have children, we canāt be selfish and just think of ourselves and what we want. Unfortunately, we donāt know when this will get any better and itās frustrating. Daily my kids and wife are growing more and more frustrated that they canāt do normal things they used to do. I also know that there will continue to be those who choose not to listen to the health experts or the local government officials and will continue to do their own thing. What will really suck is for this pandemic to hit close to home for those people to finally get the message, but thatās what itāll probably take. What can we do? For now all we can do is continue to wear masks (regardless of how uncomfortable it may become), continue to social distance, and continue to practice good hygiene practices through consistently washing hands and using hand sanitizers. If we do the little things now, itāll save us trouble in the long run and can make for a better tomorrow. Iāll see yaāll on the other side.
My first tumble. I shouldāve done this a long time ago since I always have so much to say but sometimes itās difficult pulling my thoughts out the head and making a post. Well, here we go...
