Lakers at Jazz Game Thread

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

jazz is lucky that Lebron is out with an injury

Why? Lebron rarely wins in SLC.

Lakers only had 2 field goals in the last 8:10

My dream

PG - DM
SG - ?
SF - Jingles
PF - Crowder
C - Rudy

Bench
Exum or Rubio, Korver, O'neale, stretch 4

The offense runs through DM at PG. The goal being to get him open to kill it in midrange where he's deadly. Allowing him and the Jazz to attack at all 3 levels on offense more effectively.

Gobert constantly rolling and attacking the rim.

Jingles and Crowder stretching the floor out to 3 primarily as spot up shooters.

I think moving DM to PG may ultimately be the move we need to make to take us to the next level.

I still don't think he's capable of being a full time PG but at the same time I don't think it's a coincidence that Mitchell has looked much, much better in January when he's been forced into more of a playmaking role for his team and he's been actively focusing on that and letting the scoring come to him. Playmaking has been my #1 concern for him all season and now that he's doing a pretty decent job at it he looks much, much better.

edit: I do think that DM at the 1 with a shooter at the 2 would be the Jazz' most dangerous closing lineup tho

1. This is the Lakers
2. The people who are pro "Mitchell should play with a PG" don't think the Jazz would be bad with Mitchell at PG, just that would be better with him at SG.

Sure, but who are we going to get at the PG who takes the Jazz to another level? That's the question.

This slinky thing is making me uncomfortable for some reason

Kinda disturbing..

exum

See, we can play Mitchell at the 1 next to another scorer in the backcourt. It won't hurt us.

You can't underestimate how important Ingles is when it comes to the sharing the load RE: playmaking

 

[SoUjazzfan]

How about a combo guard next to Mitchell and split the responsibility

 

[zyzz]

Jeez Donovan...

Nobody.

PG - DM
SG - A good scoring option (15-20 ish PPG) that doesn't hurt the defense
SF - Jingles
PF - Jae/stretch 4
C - Rudy

That's a much better team than we have now. Defense would still be top notch and the offense would be VASTLY improved.

This is DMX in a nutshell assuming Exum's recent play and Mitchell's current play both hold up. Big assumptions tho

 

[Ellipse]

Jazz, other than Mitchell, seem to be sleep walking this quarter.

 

[yamers]

poor effort there...

 

[JazzyFresh]

Atta boy Quin, get em!

 

[yamers]

lakers were in a similar position vs the mavs 2games ago and came back, play lazy and u let them back in....that be bad.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Resting on the lead isn't smart, good timeout by Quin. He looked mega pissed.

 

[zyzz]

Lonzo hustle got the Lakers 5 point. Make it 7

 

[nateboz]

Is that Joe Dirt or Lonzo Ball
