Game Planning vs the Lakers’ Starting Five:
-When guarding Jeremy Lin, the book on him is make him go right. Top of the key two and three’s are a welcome shot from Lin, so go ahead and play under the screens in that situation.
-Kobe Bryant is making it easier on opponents by playing more east west than north south if you catch my drift, so let him go ahead and pound the ball without worrying too much about letting him blow by you, play him smart more than anything.
-Wesley Johnson is not a proficient mid range shooter, run him off the three point line and hustle back to defend the rim.
-Carlos Boozer isn’t a great catch and shoot player from the right elbow extended, overplay a dribble hand off or help protect the paint if he gets one in that spot.
-Jordan Hill is a active rebounder and a pretty good mid range shooter, do not slack off on him.
