Home Opener: Los Angeles Lakers (1-0) @ Utah Jazz (0-1): 7 PM MT

I kinda think that until Hayward comes back if we can't get early offense then we need to go into simple old school post up basketball. We have had consistent success in the post thus far(we do have the personnel for it). The NBA has had a lack of good low post players and most teams don't defend it very well. I also think that pressure in the paint will open up the 3 a helluva lot more than back and forth perimeter passes. It will also discourage teams from switching in the pick and roll. Switch and we will immediately post your *** up.

In addition to Favors, we have two excellent post-up players in the vets, JJ and Diaw, and Trey is improving there, as well. We need to play to our strengths. Hopefully our 3-point shooting will get better when Hayward and Burks return.

No, better off just have our perimeter players jack 3s.

IIRC, last season we were heading that direction with our big wings in Hood/Hayward. They have such an advantage down there against the smaller guards and forwards checking them, and they've mastered that fade away jumper from close to mid range.

I notice Hood playing some nice defense in that game. On the down side I thought Dante looked pretty bad.

"Rodney Hood looks like a zebra"

"Hobert is a beast"
