You can't blame Al, Harris, Hayward, or Bell for this. This is on MK11. How were they supposed to win a game that was jinxed?

If Al sits and Kanter/Favors get his minutes, we win this game.
It is not about hating jefferson. He can go out tomorrow and score 40, it doesnt change anything about him. Today he isnt the worse player in the league and he wasnt the best player yesterday when scored 30 against cavs. He is always the same guy that we know and he wont have any revelation and become a superstar anymore as some people hoped before the season started.
I always say the same thing even long before seasons started, and some people called me kanter homer just because of that, but this is the naked truth, Big Al isn't one of the guys who really helps the team win. He just helps himself, making shots, playing one on one, makes some tough shots to look good, have 20 10 stats and people think he is one of the precious stones you can never find. Indeed, he is just another Boozer, he would never be a main guy in a contender, never ever.
Agreed. Big Al clearly didnt have it tonight, and still Corbin stuck with him. Sap was on, and Big Al was not.
You put Kanter or Favors in there with Sap to close this out. Gives us the best chance to win a close tired slugfest, and gives
the young bigs valuable experience.

If I have to blame anyone, I'm putting this one on Ty.
15 seconds left and a chance to win the game and he doesn't call timeout. Obviously that philosophy worked with Jerry but in those times we always had a clear plan that every person on the floor knew (get the ball in your PG's hands, push it, and if a transition opportunity isn't there then run high-screenroll). It was apparent from the start we were completely out of sync on that last possession and even after we looked into Millsap (who was pushed way out on the wing by Gasol) we still should've called TO before Hayward was left to go 1-on-1. With the shotclock running down on possessions we don't execute and we don't have a good gameplan on what to do, until we get everyone on the same page Ty needs to take TO's in those situations.
As far as Al giving up the offensive rebound to Bynum, he left Bynum to help on Kobe (who would've had an 8-foot pullup jumper otherwise) and forced Bryant to take an extremely difficult fallaway. Al was putrid on the offensive end, but I don't blame him on that play.

Yep. I guarantee the Lakers don't get all those "lucky" second chance offensive rebounds near the end with Favors or Kanter in.

Isn't this Ty's second Overtime game in his career??
If theres one thing Ive noticed over the course of this season, it's how much Ty has strived to improve the weaknesses of this team. I guarantee you he will analyze this games tape a strong about of times, just so were a lot more prepared in our next overtime again. Sucks to lose like this, especially when were 4 up with a min left.
