Walton is a horrid shooter, but he's a very fundamental player - he's good at moving the ball and defense. Walton may not make his shots, but he gives 100% when he goes out there. That's what Phil likes about Walton.
Radmanovic is a better shooter, but he doesn't have the fundamental knowledge of Walton, nor does he put out 100% effort in every game. That's why Phil got fed up with him after Sac. He was absolutely unproductive.
Living up in Boston, you clearly don't get to see many Laker games. Least you can do is check ESPN's stat sheet and find the Lakers have the best offensive output. I bet that doesn't take any chemistry. George Karl even said Lakers have the best ball movement of any team he's ever seen. Yep, no chemistry. :nohead:
I'd rather that they "struggle" against shitty teams, than good teams, because it just means that they're not giving 100%. These shitty teams won't be the ones Lakers will be playing in the Finals, and that's all that matters right now. Sacramento isn't a problem. New Orleans isn't the problem. San Antonio, Utah, etc. Lakers can smash all of them. What matters is the final series, and that's gonna be against Boston. Sad as it is, nobody else matters. The whole "Lebron James and Cavaliers" hype is all for nought. At the end of the day, it's gonna be LA and Boston in the Finals.
