The Lakers Turn Carlos Boozer Into A Decision Maker
Just last week over at NetsAreScorching, I praised Carlos Boozer for his play so far in the playoffs. Rightfully so, Boozer dominated Kenyon Martin and Nene (when he was playing) in the first round. However, in Game 1 (especially in the 4th quarter) Boozer really struggled with the length. Even worse, it seemed like the Lakers were attacking Boozer, forcing him to make decisions, and he seemed to make the wrong choice each time.
With about 1:30 left, the Lakers were up 1 point and the ball was in Kobe’s hands.
Here Kobe gets the ball on the elbow. Paul Millsap is in proper help position, but Lamar Odom is sent through the lane. This forces Millsap to stick with Odom, clearing the lane.
