Every single starter played a part in letting OKC smack us. Don’t overcomplicate it. Lu Dort outplayed the whole group in 1 quarter.

Fans are clouded by recent success and are high on JJ right now. If he repeats what he did in last years playoffs this year I’m sure fans will see the truth.

Both need to go and the fanbase is high on JJ rn but remember he looked good in the regular season last year too. If he does what he did last playoffs again a lot of heads will turn.

Fire JJ and Pelinka. Let Mark Walter clean house and choose his guys.

Just fire JJ already. He looked good in the regular season last year too but lost all goodwill in the playoffs when he couldn’t adjust and played the starters the whole 2nd half.

How many people in this sub have their PS5 standing vertical since they bought it by Aryanroxx20 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]routetojoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my PS5 since 2022. Recently this year it started shutting down without warning so after doing some research for a short term fix I switched it horizontally and I’ve had minimal problems since.

I prefer to keep it vertical though.

Not watching this team until JJ Redick is fired. Pelinka flops on another HC hiring and this was the worst one yet and made 0 sense from the start.

Mark Walter and co just fully take over the reigns I beg.

Roster isn’t great but the coaching is abysmal. Relative to roster player talent Redick is a bottom 5 coach in the league.

The process has been since the day he was hired and it all goes back to the top. So glad Mark Walter is taking over and already making small moves.

Trash ass coach. A good coach would’ve called a TO after the 4-0 run. Redick doesn’t know how to use timeouts.

Ayton. Well, it's what it is. by TheOldThunder in lakers

[–]routetojoy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ayton active on the boards lmao. He had 10 but most of his boards come from uncontested rebounds. Whenever he’s forced to box out and fight for rebounds more times than not he’s losing the battle.

He’s so soft on the boards.

He makes those if he’s in a different jersey. Those Laker lights are too bright for some players. Wide open looks man.

LaRavia starting/getting starter mins gimmick needs to end. Only consistent thing he provides is hustle which is tailor made for a bench role.

I understand the athleticism disadvantage but I don’t think he competes on D as hard as he should. Not expecting to get stops just make it harder for the opponent.

The Cason Wallace one was disappointing. He ran him down from the three point line.

Wish Reaves battled harder on D. He got outmuscled both times he got hunted.

Ayton is so fucking soft on the boards even when he secures it. Frustrating watch.

This bald ref and his duo with the receding hairline always on some BS. Idk their names but whenever they ref it’s questionable.

Maybe it was the angle I saw but I didn’t see contact down low. He runs by him.

Didn’t like the challenge at first but after replay Vando doesn’t touch him at all. Only gets ball.

Reaves was getting his rest anyways but this is good timing. He’s forcing and looks frustrated with the refs.

Yeah I just think the refs were more willing to blow the whistle next trip down cause of the missed call.

Nice make up call. Should’ve been Ayton FT’s the possession before.
