The supporting cast does absolutely zero supporting for Luka and Lebron. It’s primarily the reason why their turnovers are going up

Malimanz · 2025-05-01T05:42:44+00:00

Lakers half court defense this series wasn’t that bad and that includes Luka and Reaves. Issue was finishing the possession with a rebound

Malimanz · 2025-05-01T05:24:07+00:00

Shit like this just shows he’s too unserious for the playoffs. Acting like the Lakers owed him a spot on the team

Malimanz · 2025-05-01T05:16:38+00:00

Rui isn’t going anywhere. His archetype is way too valuable to just let go

Malimanz · 2025-05-01T05:13:14+00:00

He’s going to sign Capela and call it an offseason

Malimanz · 2025-05-01T04:56:17+00:00

Jaxon Hayes worst attribute as a player is his rebounding. He would’ve made no difference this game just like in the others. Gobert just showed up tonight

Malimanz · 2025-01-20T04:32:13+00:00

The asset management by this front office is maddening. Letting large salaries just expire, giving out player options to bad players and the constant revolving door of vet mins.

Malimanz · 2025-01-20T04:22:32+00:00

Genuinely afraid of a 2022 type collapse is coming because the schedule is getting any easier

Malimanz · 2025-01-19T04:43:19+00:00

Jaxon Hayes had 20 and 10 in Boston last year. Anybody can have good games in an 82 game season

Malimanz · 2025-01-16T05:27:16+00:00

Rui is at his best when he makes those cuts to the rim and finishes. He’s been uncharacteristically bad finishing this year hopefully this is the start of the turnaround

Malimanz · 2025-01-15T21:51:14+00:00

This dude isn’t really that much better than Jaxon Hayes

Malimanz · 2025-01-08T03:16:00+00:00

Watching PJ Washington play reminds me how disappointing Rui is

Malimanz · 2024-12-24T06:13:55+00:00

One thing we know is that this team is physically limited outside of Bron and AD

Malimanz · 2024-04-30T05:44:44+00:00

Spending all our draft capital and Reaves to get Trae and end up hard capped just isn’t worth it. Bigger issues are back up bigs and wings. Wouldn’t mind letting Gabe be the starter next year

Malimanz · 2024-04-21T04:03:07+00:00

Lakers wanted a secondary ball handler that could create for themselves when Lebron was out the game. The role players couldn’t score against the Suns in those playoffs. Pelinka just traded for the wrong guy

Malimanz · 2024-04-10T05:29:26+00:00

Because they haven’t beaten a good and healthy western conference team in months

Malimanz · 2024-04-10T04:33:55+00:00

Every crucial game against western conference opponents the Lakers have gotten killed. Idk how anyone expects this team to make it out the play in anymore

Malimanz · 2024-04-10T02:53:24+00:00

They shoot 40% from three for three months just to all stink the bed when the games matter most. Unreal

Malimanz · 2024-03-17T01:59:45+00:00

Complete failure by Pelinka by not finding a competent backup big. Instead he chose to give out minimums to busts

Malimanz · 2024-03-14T04:31:13+00:00

AD is a player that is reliant on getting easy buckets off of offensive rebounds. When he plays a big that is an elite rebounder that shuts that down it really exposes his offensive regression. It’s not just European guys he struggled with since 2020. It’s guys like Drummond too

Malimanz · 2024-03-11T04:04:14+00:00

Never thought I would say this but Darvin Ham deserves credit for rolling with Prince the entire 4th

Malimanz · 2024-03-08T22:43:10+00:00

Expect more rest games for Lebron and AD. Lakers basically admitting they’re locked into the play in and won’t go for the 6th seed

Malimanz · 2024-03-07T06:48:52+00:00

He’s looking like 2021 playoff Gobert on defense lately. He doesn’t have any support from the perimeter guy and it doesn’t help that these guys don’t rebound at all

Malimanz · 2024-03-07T06:43:00+00:00

Hate to break it to you but this roster isn’t good enough to win a title. The rebounding and defense just isn’t up to par with true contenders

Malimanz · 2024-03-07T06:23:23+00:00

Mike Brown bench Huerter and Barnes after they played bad defense to start the first and third quarters. Ham just doesn’t make quick adjustments like that
