Most of the time, Wallace or Varejao should be on the floor to guard Kevin Garnett. I noticed how good Joe Smith was back in Chicago and I hope Mike Brown keeps playing him, because he's the 3rd-4th-best player on the team and he can go off for 40 points. Zydrunas Ilgauskas is the 2nd-best player on the team so he still should be getting 35-40 minutes.

Daniel Gibson, Delonte West, and Wally Szczerbiak should split the minutes for point guard and shooting guard, resulting in 30-35 minutes each. Gibson probably shouldn't play much when he's not shooting well as West contributes much more than scoring. Who do you think is the better at running the point (not just scoring), West or Gibson? They both are decent passers.

Why is Devin Brown playing only in trash-time? He used to be a starter. He should get 10 minutes at least.



Of course, that's what the +/- statistic is based on. Still, LeBron James played better than every other Cleveland Cavalier and Paul Pierce played worse than every other Boston Celtic except maybe Sam Cassell.

Last season in the playoffs, LeBron James was shooting 30% for the first 4 games against Detroit Pistons. He was 7-19 for the first 3 quarters of Game 5 too. But James cannot be kept out of the paint for an entire series and he will have a dominant game. He's obviously improved somewhat every game through this series. Defensively, he was very good in Game 3.



He only had 2 turnovers. He took less shots as well. He's had massive numbers in assists and many rebounds as well.



Everybody that I play with has off-shooting occasions. Don't discount the 30-point, 8-assist, 7-rebound beast yet.

Too bad they couldn't get it together and keep their lead. Pau's killin', too.

That shows the talent gap between the two teams.

In the beginning, UTAH was playing mistake free, while Lakers were bumming.

Nearing the end, Lakers were playing mistake free, while the Jazz were bumming it lol.
