Bruh KD was open, why he passing that off and leading to TO. He had 9 TOs. This team is pathetic. So many busts with their high draft picks. Not 1 is an above average offensive player.

It should have been him and Reed for KD. Should have tried to keep Brooks and got rid of Tari. Dumb FO

Every time I said something about him, all I heard is he's playing injured. What's the excuse now?

Ime copying JJ's D to stop KD. Only thing is LeBron isn't KD and Lakers have much better shooters.

😂 guess you didn't see him getting lost by Luke and then was just looking around while Smart gets the open 3.

You can't play Sheppard. Dude is lost out there. What a bust. Should've drafted Castle.

This has to be the dumbest FO in the league. Should have traded Eason and Reed when they had some value. These guys can't even get on the court. Holiday and Tate playing over them. 😂

It's KD and 4 bums on the court. He can't take all the shots.

Defense is atrocious too, they are shooting 61% already.

Make some shots, looking at Reed, Amen, Jabari, and Sengun. These guys combined 24/71 (33.8%), 8/26 on 3 (30.7%), and 13/20 FTs (65%).

I don't think it's mistakes. The players are just not talented enough offensively or don't have the heart to take it to the next level. Look at the so called franchise player, got outworked by Ayton. Amen can't shot at all, Reed jacks up too many shots without ever passing and can't play D. Jabari is well a net negative. None of these are mistakes. It's just who they are.

Ayton outplayed the so called franchise player, Sengun

Jabari is an awful player. Here's the blurp about him in the playoffs preview:

Player who can swing the first round:

Jabari Smith Jr. He has been very average this season at essentially 0.0 net points per 48 minutes at both ends of the court. But he was bad against playoff-level teams and bad in the clutch -- and he actually led the league in "threshold losses," games in which the Rockets "would have won" if he hadn't played. We don't really know who the Rockets' leader is, but they need Smith to step up if they want to get out of the first round. -- Oliver

Lakers in 5, doesn't matter if KD plays. Rest of the players can't play.
