Ron puts more pressure on teams than Meeks. Your crazy.

Bullshit. He's been dribbling past 4s but teams will adjust to that soon enough. Opponents leave Ron wide open and that's the real reason he's shooting so well from 3. They will not leave Meeks to double down in the paint..

Yes they have and they will continue to do so. Meanwhile, the perimeter D will be worse. TBH, I'm not too upset about Meeks starting with MWP off the bench if Ron still gets 30 min playing the SF. I don't like him being the backup 4 and them essentially ignoring Hill and/or Jamison forever, now.

Lakers will be fucked when they play good wings moreso than usual, too.



Anyway, with Hill not doing shit anymore, they might as well package him with Blake to get a real backup PG. Maybe shed some salary in the process by doing it.

Kevin Ding:

OK, so apparently we need a more thorough explanation on D'Antoni's starting lineup and planned rotation. Kobe ...

and Metta will still get pretty much all the run they can handle, even if Kobe starts at small forward and Metta begins games on the bench. The only reason Metta wouldn't start is because D'Antoni doesn't want to overwork him by starting him at small forward and then shifting him to backup power forward soon after. Metta didn't start tonight and still played 36 minutes.

Jodie Meeks started the second half at shooting guard, with Kobe bumped up to small forward. Devin Ebanks was a bust as the starting small forward as Charlotte just left him unguarded and he shot 1 for 4 (taking four of the Lakers' first 9 shots); Ebanks didn't play again after five minutes to open the game. And when I asked D'Antoni if he would consider starting Meeks, he couldn't answer yes fast enough. I asked if he minded Kobe playing SF, and D'Antoni didn't.

Remains to be seen if the starting lineup shifts based on matchups, but D'Antoni loves Meeks and can't get enough of him

If Marion can play PF, I don't see why Metta can't. Whoever gave him a green light needs to check him though. He is out of control offensively IMO. Some of the shots he took tonight were just...ugh

Marion was partially miscast as a PF but they also had Joe J or Raja Bell (for D) on the team.

And Marion in his prime was a super athletic freak unlike MWP right now.

Ron is strong enough to check many PFs in the league, but his best asset is still perimeter defense. Why take that away?

And being big is still an advantage. Hill should be the backup big man most of the time.

Kobe's my favorite player, I just thought he took some really bad shots in the 4th quarter, I really hope Nash comes back soon so the team and Kobe can get some better looks.

Hibbert is missing all the little hook shots and slow big man stuff that he was making last year. He couldn't score on Cousins when they played the Kings and Cuz isn't exactly a stopper.

Warriors got mad talent. If Andrew comes back strong they will be pretty stacked

Is Jerry West the most underrated FO guy in the league? His decisions are pretty amazing. And he's assisted in some really good draft decisions for the Warriors in an advisory capacity.

Meanwhile the Wiz have Tomas Satoransky and Jan Vesely.

Everyone thinks he's the best ever so no, he isn't underrated.
