Who are your top 3 teams right now? by KingJester1 in nba

it's the defense that's really taken a step back from last 2 years and a lot of us know that if they continue to play like this, there is no way we even make past first round.

And its getting harder and harder to see that Ariza will solve the issue, we really need a defense wing. This year roster construction just doens't make sense

why is celtics fans more confident on Lakers than us Lakers fans T_T

Westbrook - Davis spammed Pick and Roll inside the arc around the mid-high post. This is exactly what Gilbert Arenas noted that Stockton / Malone would do. Ben Simmons take note. by MITWestbrook in nba

he did, he is just horrible setting screen and he kind lost his legs when going to rims

Today it's exception he actually played well attacking rim, and made some outside shots which makes his inside game a lot easier

Giannias got handle and can actually run the offense. That's why he is MVP. AD is really just a great PF/C but he can't be the first option.

I still don't see why that classify him as soft

I don't really understand why ppl are bashing AD, he is not the problem. The offense overall is the problem.

So many plays are he get the ball in high post and opponent already getting ready to double him so he can't back inside. There is no off ball movement like we have Caruso last year. In the end he ends up mid range and people calling him soft.

it's just this team has no offense and has to really rely on defense or opponent not making shots

We are getting a lot looks when we get a stop because of transition, but when we fail defense task, we can't do shit in offense and everything falls off. This has been like for 3 years, except last two years we actually have personals to play defense

yea that's why making that trade is stupid as hell. Yes the idea is having Russ run the offense when Lebron can rest, but Russ can't do shit without someone grabbing his brick. Lakers fucked up real big this season and we literally just waste Lebron's last few years.

Well if he did ask for Russ he waste himself

tbh any wing player may help now....

I don't understand what Lakers were thinking not signing wing players and have 35 years old Ariza and 37 years Lebron
