To be fair to Lin, what offense is their to run besides pass the ball to Kobe? There's no shooters to pass to off screens, there's no spacing because there isn't any halfcourt sets that stretch past the 3-pt line, Wesley Johnson ain't shyt, Jordan Hill can't create his own shot and Boozer.... well let's not get into that.

The Lakers offense is an abyss of nothingness (No Kobe).

The offense is shyt but the defense is the most worrying, especially since Byron Scott kept preaching defense all summer. They give up way too many open shots.

byron scott can preach defense all he wants, but as long as you're marching out a starting lineup with bean, lin and boozer, then there is no way any competant defense can be played.

yeah...but players can be coached. When you leave guys open so many times a game it means your guys aren't rotating properly off screens. That's an issue with communication and coaching. The Suns game was closer than the final scoreline looked, the Lakers just lost it in the 3rd quarter giving up too many open looks. You don't have to be an elite defender to stay in front of your man and rotate properly, all you need is conditioning and basketball IQ. Lakers lack the IQ.
