A real issue is that AR is becoming a liability on defense. Teams just constantly isolate him and take him to the basket. It is an issue that needs to be fixed.
Becoming a liability??? I’ve been saying this for a year and a half. Austin has always been isolated and targeted. NTM he physically can’t affect shots on bigger and quicker guards. Last year watching him try and guard MPJ and Murray was painful. They treated him like a toddler that wasn’t even there. It’s just that 90% of these TH-camrs and fans don’t want to admit they were wrong cause they’ve been defending austin for ages. Same shit as w ham. These last 3 years and are bron and pelinka’s fault. We should’ve traded AR 2 years ago when his stock was high and y’all continue to scapegoat ham instead of critiquing Lebron or pwlinka. And JJ’s bum ass might be worse than Ham I’m not sure yet
@@arioca His defensive assignment Jamal Murray shot 40% from the field, and the year before that his assignments of Steph and Klay shot 44% and 34% respectively, so you're wrong.
Nah the team jus suck if lebron leave the lakers they would be last yall so dumb he literally gotta do so much cs nobody else ain’t doin shit he’s 40 btw
yup same story oh their not use to each other yet, oh its still early theyll figure it out. last week of the season they got a punchers chance they can beat anybody lol
@@UncleFred622 ain't gone get it with Austin sorry to say... He's a good player but not the 3rd option. They need to move him to the 2nd or 3rd unit or package him for Zach Lavine
Fans are overvaluing this team. There’s no changes they can make that makes them title contenders. My opinion blow it up and start the rebuild. They are just delaying the inevitable
The thing is, they can if they okay legit basketball and leave analytics alone. Get these teams in foul trouble since they don’t really have any 3 point shooters. You still have Bron and AD. He should legit have almost 30 a night. And stop leaving shooters open and going to help when you’re small af lol. Let AD protect the rim.

Bron needs to change as well. He needs to improve his defense and focus on getting rebounds. TBH, he is just an avg player right now who’s getting $50M
If Lakers do not get Lavine or Myles Turner to start with AD they may as well tank and blow up the team. A back up center is NOT going to solve the starting five's lack of consistent scorers. Myles Turner is the only center they need...if they go for a back up center then Lavine is player that they have to get. Lebron has been playing off ball a lot trying to get the other guys to get going, but they keep on missing a lot of open shots and going on too many scoring droughts. They need a consistent scorer in the starting unit.
That is not their problem at all and even saying that is dumb. How many times have they been up or tied then LeBron goes to the bench and the other team goes on a 10 nothing run. Just like the Olympic team LeBron is the one keeping them in games and making big stops and plays in clutch time. Only the last two games did curry finally help him in the Olympics and then curry got more credit despite LeBron being mvp. Haters are just delusional

A center that can do the dirty work inside the paint, move Ad at the 4, and get a real point guard to run the offense. Do not rely on or let Lebron run the play all the time.
Since winning the championship the Lakers have flipped the roster twice, Trading for Westbrook then to this current roster. They are also on their second coach. The only common denominators are LBJ, AD, and Pelinka. At some point the Lakers need to let go of this current era and start over.
No, we need to stop salvaging away future assets for a 40-year old who just stands around on defense. Lakers weren't building around Kareem when he got old. At best this season, if things all go right, this team is just a middle playoff team that won't need to play in the Play-In Tournament, but they are FAR from being contenders and will probably be eliminated in the first or second round. If you want any chance to be a championship team, you have to, AT THE VERY LEAST, be a Top 3 team in your conference. Lakers are just feasting off bad teams this season but all their blowout losses have been very telling.
Curry and Luka stand around on defense yet their fans don't treat them like sht. The difference is Bron is a solid one on one defender. He shouldnt have to rotate and cover for you on every possession just because you're a cone. It's no way you didnt mention the main problem, Austin Reaves whos been constantly hunted. You're a casual for sure 😂😂 Lakers need POA defenders who can shoot and everything else will fall in line.
Passive aggressive as always. I can’t wait for LeFraud to get out of LA. The team needs to keep its draft assets. No more trades to appease this primadonna. We have to keep our picks and plan for the future.
If the Lakers ACTUALLY made moves to appease LeBron, I guarantee we’d have a way better roster currently. Pelinka went out of his way to show his power over LeBron and in return we’ve missed out on plenty moves.
@magiciam_ What? Rob had made deals to appease Lebron over and over again. The Fact that JJ is the coach and Bronny is on this team on a GUARANTEED deal is a testament to that. I'm not making NO MORE TRADES to appease Lebron if I'm Rob...Point is, it's pointless....the Lakers aren't winning a title with Bron and AD, that ship had long sailed. We're gonna trade the rest of our remaining assets for this decade for a chance at the 5th seed? Lmao
@@magiciam_ They’re not going to mortgage their future because LeFraud is always begging for more help. They’re already in a bad spot because they gave him AD and Westbrook. Enough is enough.
@ last time I checked they’re in better spot than half the western conference. And also they won a championship with AD. The Westbrook move was horrible but we not about to sit here and act like everything is Brons fault. Pelinka is the GM NOT LeBron.
And we're not gonna act like Bron don't have a say on what moves the Lakers make or don't make and he's left outta the dark either. Name a deal that the Lakers made that wasn't ran thru first by Lebron? Lmao He wanted Westbrook here, then he wanted Westbrook outta here...both of those occurred. He wanted Klay here too, but KLAY DECIDED to go elsewhere, that ain't Pelinkas fault. He wanted Kyrie Here, the Nets didn't like the package that the Lakers had to offer, once again that's not Pelinkas fault.
12 things Lakers need to do: 1. Stop switching and putting AD on the perimeter to guard pick n roll ball handlers. This takes away AD’s greatest skillset as a rim protector and forces guards to guard bigs. 2. Stop letting Austin guard point guards. Austin gets manipulated in pick n rolls and finds himself guarding bigs after switches. Let Austin defend corner/wing players. 3. Let DFS guard point guards in case AD has to switch and it’s too late to recover to the other man that’s rolling to the basket. 4. Feed AD the ball in the post more or let him attack closeouts from the perimeter like KAT on the Knicks . Stop trying to making him play stagnate like Jokic/Embiid and up top of the key. He gets too many turnovers and doesn’t seem comfortable doing that. 5. Replace Gabe with Shake in the rotation. Shake is more comfortable making plays for others and is more of a scoring threat off the ball and on the ball. Gabe is a bad offensive pick n roll player. 6. Trade JHS, Wood, and Gabe. They are unreliable and Wood hasn’t played in two years. 7. Look at trading for Vucevic, Richards, Adams, or Kessler. Vucevic can provide offense and allow AD to focus more on defense. He could easily play alongside AD. Adams, Richards, and Kessler are good bigs who can start or come off bench. Adams is a terrific offensive rebounder. 8. Get more athleticism, speed, and defense. Bruce Brown, Josh Green, Royce Oneale, Collin Sexton, Marcus Smart, etc. 9. Create more movement in the offense and cutting plays for non-shooting players like Reddish and Vincent. 10. Replace Rui with DFS in starting lineup. 11. Limit turnovers. 12. Get to the free throw line more and paint touches.
Bottom line in basketball the team that scores the most points wins Besides being a scapegoat why trade DLo Dfs is going to prevent a couple of baskets each game DiLo will make it so we score 4 more baskets than the other team AR can’t defend But DiLo is a better scorer playmaker and ball handler Jj said it’s AR s breakout year he was wrong They Need Murray or a Kessler Sexton trade or keep the draft choices and Rui
Different personalities. But who was more successful with team mates? Who played more for himself and for fan base? Who elevated the quality of team mates? Different personalities!
The only change is to give other players a chance to play instead of having LeBron and AD dominate the ball. It has been like this since the coach let this two run the team and they are very soft in defense and they all act as special. They don’t have the heart and the physicality to play any defense. Trade Labron and AD and start all over again with a new team and coach.
Lebron throws the pass out of bounds, then blames Max. Lebron dribbles to the basket, his dribble to high, gets poked away, another turnover. Lebron drives, makes a weak pass, the ball is loose, he now looks around as if it's someone else fault. Love Lebron but he has got to do better. Also, he needs to be more encouraging to his teammates and not just when they are playing well.
What happened to running the offense through AD, Bron just scoring when he can and other guys contributing. That’s when we looked good. Now it’s back to stagnant ball movement.
Lakers need to play some defense. Much as I love Reeves, yesterday he was a matador and picked on by the Spurs. James had way too many turnovers. One of their worst problems is they're not hungry enough. They play too relaxed. Other teams play hard, they're young and aggressive. The Lakers tend not to meet the other team with the same energy. Played so well up to the middle of the 3rd and seemed to just pack it in.
Some of the problems with the Lakers is coaching. The rotation is trash. The wrong players on the court at the wrong time, they switch way to much, and do they watch film? Don't they see all that switching is not working.
Yea idk how they watch the whole mavs game and decide to do the same defensive game plan the next game. WHY IS AR SWITICHING ONTO WEMBY. I get that jj wants to run a switch everything defense because those work but only with the right personnel. We can switched 3-5 but not 1-5. So dumb. If jj doesn’t make an adjustment next game we’re fucked
The ball does move more when LeBron misses a game or when he’s out of the game and we get better shots. When he’s in the game he’s slows the game up, the ball doesn’t move and we don’t get good shots. He does that iso ball and everyone just stands around and watches him which makes it easy for the defense as well. Also the other teammates don’t get a chance to shoot so they fall into that iso ball stuff, coming down court no passes a jacking up shots. Especially the three ball missing constantly instead of moving the ball and going to the rack or taking a mid range jumper. Two points better than no points.
I said that anything less than 4-2 against our next 6 games was a disappointment, I said that before the Mavs game. I jinxed them. Lakers losing is my fault. 😢
maybe if the lakers would go get a secondary ball handler and additional help maybe he wouldn’t have to be so ball dominant. he’s bound to turn the ball over if he’s the only one running the offense
Get the ball out of the GOAT of TO's hands.....Change that 1st........7 TO's last night, who gets the blame ? The refs, teammates, fires, off-days, practice,.......Russ.
4:22 pm as a laker fan since 1981 , last night game was horrible ,i have not been this upset , with my Laker’s performance , after everything that is going on in LA , praying for all affected and the Men & Woman helping the cause. But my laker’s did not show respect to the Legend’s on the floor , i don’t see that old feeling of I’m here to kick some but for my city. I was very disappointed, they need to make a change in Feb. GO LAKER’S !!!
They move the ball better with LeBron off the floor because he is either super passive, going mins without even attempting to score, or a ball stopper. Rear is there a middle ground! Changes need to start with him. Take personal responsibility for once in your career instead of blaming others! 7tov isn’t gonna get it done. 🤷🏾♂️
It doesn’t matter what trade we make, if LeBron plays the way he did against the Spurs and the way he’s played for half the season it won’t be enough. The turnovers, the defense, and more importantly the effort isn’t there.
We don't even know who this team truly is, because they produce Bipolar results. Some days they will look like championship contenders, and the other half they look like a tanking team that just doesn't want to put any effort in. I'm holding on to the idea of them being a solid playoff team, but games like Dallas and SA make it difficult.
LeBron needs to stop talking. Always being passive aggressive. Trevor it ain’t clever it’s disgusting. He needs to stop blaming other ppl and take accountability
I would like to see the Lakers not offer LeBron another contract next year. I don't care if he goes to another team and win. We've got to get rid of him.
They shouldn’t have got rid of Dlo those points they need the only reason he was traded was because of LeBron and they haven’t won a game since if he wants to blame someone they are gone LeBron needs to come off the bench
Lebron is the #1 reason the offense stops. He stands at the 3 point line doing that dumb stutter step to only brick a 3. SMDH. I'm tired of Lakers sell pitches. Words with no actions is like trying to hold water in your hands. It will never happen 😂
Lebron needs to not play power forward.. He can't rebound, bang or or play D like that. His position is the problem as he cannot play the 4.. The defensive side is our biggest struggle
Honestly, I believe the same thing Trevor EVERY OTHER LA TEAM that played Won… The Lakers have no fight in them, no pride in them. JJ is starting to become inconsistent with his line ups.
A real issue is that AR is becoming a liability on defense. Teams just constantly isolate him and take him to the basket. It is an issue that needs to be fixed.

Curry and Luka stand around on defense yet their fans don't treat them like sht. The difference is Bron is a solid one on one defender. He shouldnt have to rotate and cover for you on every possession just because you're a cone. It's no way you didnt mention the main problem, Austin Reaves whos been constantly hunted. You're a casual for sure 😂😂 Lakers need POA defenders who can shoot and everything else will fall in line.
@TayGoatedx
Son, we are talking about Lebron's inadequacies, not Luka and Currys.
You are defending a "has been" that is a liability to his team.
💪🏿👍🏿
Isn't your "identity" what you are and not what you "want" to be?
Do the Lakers have permission to trade Bronny ?
LeBron is the problem
Lebron is great but his untimely turnovers are a huge problem.
Lakers had no killer instinct like Kobe
Mans on track to have 4 rings in 25 years lol. Hella stats tho
As Jerry West said…” It’s a Shit Show”
Passive aggressive as always. I can’t wait for LeFraud to get out of LA. The team needs to keep its draft assets. No more trades to appease this primadonna. We have to keep our picks and plan for the future.
If the Lakers ACTUALLY made moves to appease LeBron, I guarantee we’d have a way better roster currently. Pelinka went out of his way to show his power over LeBron and in return we’ve missed out on plenty moves.
@magiciam_ What? Rob had made deals to appease Lebron over and over again. The Fact that JJ is the coach and Bronny is on this team on a GUARANTEED deal is a testament to that. I'm not making NO MORE TRADES to appease Lebron if I'm Rob...Point is, it's pointless....the Lakers aren't winning a title with Bron and AD, that ship had long sailed. We're gonna trade the rest of our remaining assets for this decade for a chance at the 5th seed? Lmao
@@magiciam_ They’re not going to mortgage their future because LeFraud is always begging for more help. They’re already in a bad spot because they gave him AD and Westbrook. Enough is enough.
@ last time I checked they’re in better spot than half the western conference. And also they won a championship with AD. The Westbrook move was horrible but we not about to sit here and act like everything is Brons fault. Pelinka is the GM NOT LeBron.
And we're not gonna act like Bron don't have a say on what moves the Lakers make or don't make and he's left outta the dark either. Name a deal that the Lakers made that wasn't ran thru first by Lebron? Lmao He wanted Westbrook here, then he wanted Westbrook outta here...both of those occurred. He wanted Klay here too, but KLAY DECIDED to go elsewhere, that ain't Pelinkas fault. He wanted Kyrie Here, the Nets didn't like the package that the Lakers had to offer, once again that's not Pelinkas fault.
Hachimura’s rebounds last 3 games: 1, 1, and 3. He’s 6’8 and plays 30 minutes. How is he in the team?
Rui and ar needs to come off the bench
Lebron plays NO Defense and is a turnover machine ‼️‼️‼️
then blames his mates on his fault & TOs!!Can't accept accountability !!
The look on Coop's face watching the first half kind of said it all.....and they were playing "well" then.
12 things Lakers need to do:
1. Stop switching and putting AD on the perimeter to guard pick n roll ball handlers. This takes away AD’s greatest skillset as a rim protector and forces guards to guard bigs.
2. Stop letting Austin guard point guards. Austin gets manipulated in pick n rolls and finds himself guarding bigs after switches. Let Austin defend corner/wing players.
3. Let DFS guard point guards in case AD has to switch and it’s too late to recover to the other man that’s rolling to the basket.
4. Feed AD the ball in the post more or let him attack closeouts from the perimeter like KAT on the Knicks . Stop trying to making him play stagnate like Jokic/Embiid and up top of the key. He gets too many turnovers and doesn’t seem comfortable doing that.
5. Replace Gabe with Shake in the rotation. Shake is more comfortable making plays for others and is more of a scoring threat off the ball and on the ball. Gabe is a bad offensive pick n roll player.
6. Trade JHS, Wood, and Gabe. They are unreliable and Wood hasn’t played in two years.
7. Look at trading for Vucevic, Richards, Adams, or Kessler. Vucevic can provide offense and allow AD to focus more on defense. He could easily play alongside AD. Adams, Richards, and Kessler are good bigs who can start or come off bench. Adams is a terrific offensive rebounder.
8. Get more athleticism, speed, and defense. Bruce Brown, Josh Green, Royce Oneale, Collin Sexton, Marcus Smart, etc.
9. Create more movement in the offense and cutting plays for non-shooting players like Reddish and Vincent.
10. Replace Rui with DFS in starting lineup.
11. Limit turnovers.
12. Get to the free throw line more and paint touches.
Bottom line in basketball the team that scores the most points wins
Besides being a scapegoat why trade DLo Dfs is going to prevent a couple of baskets each game DiLo will make it so we score 4 more baskets than the other team AR can’t defend But DiLo is a better scorer playmaker and ball handler
Jj said it’s AR s breakout year he was wrong
They Need Murray or a Kessler Sexton trade or keep the draft choices and Rui
Will never have a winning team when guys are always worried about being traded tomorrow. No chemistry, no cohesiveness, no effort…
So hard to listen to bron when i grew up with Kobe Bean Bryant not sugar coating things when the team is bad 😅
Different personalities. But who was more successful with team mates? Who played more for himself and for fan base? Who elevated the quality of team mates? Different personalities!
@@G7enngold u clearly didn’t watch he threatened to leave multiple times lol but skip over that
Lol stop it. The Lakers was in 5th spot. Kobe Lakers was 14th and 15th Kobe last few seasons. How you going to sugarcoat that lol!
@@DesignerBass throwing Chicago on the table was not that late
At least kobe be open about leaving because the team wasnt up to par...Bron be buddy buddy wit you and then snake trade you got em coach
Let's be real the upcoming trade deadline is affecting a bunch of players on this team and it shows.
The only change is to give other players a chance to play instead of having LeBron and AD dominate the ball. It has been like this since the coach let this two run the team and they are very soft in defense and they all act as special. They don’t have the heart and the physicality to play any defense. Trade Labron and AD and start all over again with a new team and coach.
Lebron throws the pass out of bounds, then blames Max. Lebron dribbles to the basket, his dribble to high, gets poked away, another turnover. Lebron drives, makes a weak pass, the ball is loose, he now looks around as if it's someone else fault. Love Lebron but he has got to do better. Also, he needs to be more encouraging to his teammates and not just when they are playing well.
Change comes when Lakers hires me, a 76 year old as a shooting coach, for $1m a year.
Ur trying I'll give u that 🤣🤣
LeBron blame others when they lose.
Do these changes include him playing defense? Not making 7 turnovers? Nah...bc its never Raymone's fault. Trash! Retire Already! Fuuuugh!
What happened to running the offense through AD, Bron just scoring when he can and other guys contributing. That’s when we looked good. Now it’s back to stagnant ball movement.
Lakers need to play some defense. Much as I love Reeves, yesterday he was a matador and picked on by the Spurs. James had way too many turnovers. One of their worst problems is they're not hungry enough. They play too relaxed. Other teams play hard, they're young and aggressive. The Lakers tend not to meet the other team with the same energy. Played so well up to the middle of the 3rd and seemed to just pack it in.
We need rebounding and the 50/50 ball killing us. We don’t box out and just stand around.
Some of the problems with the Lakers is coaching. The rotation is trash. The wrong players on the court at the wrong time, they switch way to much, and do they watch film? Don't they see all that switching is not working.
Yea idk how they watch the whole mavs game and decide to do the same defensive game plan the next game. WHY IS AR SWITICHING ONTO WEMBY. I get that jj wants to run a switch everything defense because those work but only with the right personnel. We can switched 3-5 but not 1-5. So dumb. If jj doesn’t make an adjustment next game we’re fucked
So Chuck was right?
No one can play comfortably with Lebron, always blaming teamates.
DeArron Fox is needed please 🥺
Nah thanks
Soon bro
No
@patrickcrotty9162 yes we do
@@reginaldwilliams7348 Sacramento isn't trading him to the Lakers.......maybe somewhere else. And I'm not giving up half the team for him
Bro imagine running those Dalton knecht plays for Zach Lavine
The ball does move more when LeBron misses a game or when he’s out of the game and we get better shots. When he’s in the game he’s slows the game up, the ball doesn’t move and we don’t get good shots. He does that iso ball and everyone just stands around and watches him which makes it easy for the defense as well. Also the other teammates don’t get a chance to shoot so they fall into that iso ball stuff, coming down court no passes a jacking up shots. Especially the three ball missing constantly instead of moving the ball and going to the rack or taking a mid range jumper. Two points better than no points.
🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This team does more trading than it does training!! Good luck with that
I said that anything less than 4-2 against our next 6 games was a disappointment, I said that before the Mavs game. I jinxed them.
Lakers losing is my fault. 😢
How could you 😭😭
@ Sorry 😭
that's exactly how I felt watching these players, didn't seem Laker like at all. are they proud to be a Laker?
LeBonehead had 7 turnovers last night
Lets not SCAPEGOAT Redick Riley and and Good Ole AR!!!
Redick needs to limit LeBron’s minutes.
@@DustyThePlotagonistyes.. and Bron needs to load manage more
maybe if the lakers would go get a secondary ball handler and additional help maybe he wouldn’t have to be so ball dominant. he’s bound to turn the ball over if he’s the only one running the offense
@ Good ole AR had 8 assists and only 4 turnovers
LeBrainFart had 8 assists and SEVEN Turnovers
Make it make sense
@@CannedHam2479
AR - Open season for head hunting all the time
Bron - Head hunted on Bron none
Clear difference there.
Lebron is always like to ISO in the 4th quarter just killed there rythm
Get the ball out of the GOAT of TO's hands.....Change that 1st........7 TO's last night, who gets the blame ? The refs, teammates, fires, off-days, practice,.......Russ.
4:22 pm as a laker fan since 1981 , last night game was horrible ,i have not been this upset , with my Laker’s performance , after everything that is going on in LA , praying for all affected and the Men & Woman helping the cause. But my laker’s did not show respect to the Legend’s on the floor , i don’t see that old feeling of I’m here to kick some but for my city. I was very disappointed, they need to make a change in Feb.
GO LAKER’S !!!
22 years in I don’t get why we act like it’s absurd that a star player wants his team to improve the roster with trades
thank god Bron said it, they better make huge changes.
Can’t wait for Vando’s return, also would love for us to get a POA defender that can shoot and defend multiple positions
@@trterry2442 Bruce brown??
Basically everybody would love that on every team lol
They move the ball better with LeBron off the floor because he is either super passive, going mins without even attempting to score, or a ball stopper. Rear is there a middle ground!
Changes need to start with him. Take personal responsibility for once in your career instead of blaming others! 7tov isn’t gonna get it done. 🤷🏾♂️
It doesn’t matter what trade we make, if LeBron plays the way he did against the Spurs and the way he’s played for half the season it won’t be enough. The turnovers, the defense, and more importantly the effort isn’t there.
I know lakers need changes to the team but give then a chance la went thru a lot these past weeks which some of use don’t understand
Same video after every game
We don't even know who this team truly is, because they produce Bipolar results. Some days they will look like championship contenders, and the other half they look like a tanking team that just doesn't want to put any effort in. I'm holding on to the idea of them being a solid playoff team, but games like Dallas and SA make it difficult.
LeBron needs to stop talking. Always being passive aggressive. Trevor it ain’t clever it’s disgusting. He needs to stop blaming other ppl and take accountability
They need to trade AR for a solid athletic point guard
Pelinka makes changes every year. Maybe the problem is just Lebron.
He hasn’t made a serious impactful move since Anthony Davis let’s be real
No Trade Can Help This Team, If They keep playing like this
I thought is was Dlo and Ham's fault.
I would like to see the Lakers not offer LeBron another contract next year. I don't care if he goes to another team and win. We've got to get rid of him.
I like Lebron but agree 100 percent
They need to trade Labron old ass, he controls the game, if he wants to win he plays hard. If not he turns the ball over, refuses to help on defense 😢
Austin getting target more on defense is because DLo is out now. More noticeable.
Been telling the casuals for a while now. They still only focus on Bron though
TRADE LEBRON ASAP HIS THE PROBLEM!!!!
He's not his. All capslock and still got it wrong lol
The worst trade for the Lakers over the years , was trading Brandon Ingram to pelicans it would have helped a lot
We wouldn’t have AD
Him coming off the bench OR him retire 😂😂😂
They got rid of one of their best scorers in D-lo for a defense that still sucks.
As Charles Barkley said just a bunch of guys. Back court sucks.
They shouldn’t have got rid of Dlo those points they need the only reason he was traded was because of LeBron and they haven’t won a game since if he wants to blame someone they are gone LeBron needs to come off the bench
Lebron needs to come off the bench and show more leadership that way and really work around AD n reeves
Stop the cap bro Reaves ain't shit
The Lakers never win when they have a ceremony
Lebron is the #1 reason the offense stops. He stands at the 3 point line doing that dumb stutter step to only brick a 3. SMDH. I'm tired of Lakers sell pitches. Words with no actions is like trying to hold water in your hands. It will never happen 😂
Lebron needs to not play power forward.. He can't rebound, bang or or play D like that. His position is the problem as he cannot play the 4.. The defensive side is our biggest struggle
Trade LeBron and Davis.....
Lakers needs to trade LBJ and then everything will be alright no pressure to the front office 😒 n the players 😒
this lebron and AD era is something i can’t wait for it to be over
Me too. Can’t wait for those 17 to 24 win seasons to come back
Ok, we can go back to the original pos trash team we were BEFORE those 2 got there!
@@rayshonrichardson8823lol and what are the lakers now 😂
Honestly, I believe the same thing Trevor EVERY OTHER LA TEAM that played Won… The Lakers have no fight in them, no pride in them. JJ is starting to become inconsistent with his line ups.
