Comments on 7/11 SPL game

Posted on LakersGround.net on 7/12/07.

• Critt, Farmar and Karl made 19 out of 33 for 57.6%. The rest of the team made 5 out of 20 for 25%
  
• With 6:45 left in the game and the Lakers trailing 59-62, the Lakers went to a Critt-Farmar-Karl line up for the rest of the game and outscored Portland 22-11. Critt, Farmar and Karl scored all but the last of those 22 points.
  
• The PG's were looking to score instead of passing. Farmar had 2 assists and Critt had 1
  
• Critt and Farmar both had 0 TO's
  
• I watched from mid-first quarter until half time and Shaw was using a three guard rotation of Critt, Farmar and Karl. In the second game, Rambis for the most part played two platoons and Critt was stuck with the pathetic Ere as his backcourt mate. This game, Ere played less than 4 minutes
  
• From what I saw, the Lakers were pressuring the Portland PG's in the backcourt. If the PG got past the initial pressure, it was easy for him to break down the Lakers' defense
  
• Critt shot 54.5% on FT's. The rest of the team shot 82.8%
  
• The Trailblazers shot 55.2% on FT's. Zendon Hamilton went to the line 14 times and made only 6. If he makes them all, it's a tied game
  
• I have seen several posts saying that Gay will get a camp invite. He had a terrible game, shooting 0-4. He had more fouls (4) and TO's (3) than points (1), rebounds (2), assists (0), steals (1) and blocks (0)
