Darvin ham wasnt terrible but i think jj reddick and this staff is alot more keyed in on what can make us great as a team. God forbid any more injuries
@@Suicidalmbecilethat's right..we shouldn't expect a 40piece and superb defense same time..I'm just glad that our defense collectively is growing solid
YESS SIRR!!!! alot of people, even fans of the lakers, forget how impactful vando is for us when we have a fully healthy squad. He saves us on so many possessions with his defense and rebounds. Even growing into an amazing drive and kicker, cutter, and corner 3pt shooter! he will have to shake off alot of rust coming into the season so late but, he very well could save us from having to make a major overhaul trade. 😅
The issue is scoring points, you want to be able to score and make the most of these stops. They are having issues countering help consistently and that is a problem, drop also kills them for some reason.
Lakers GM wants his praise for giving Gabe Vincent a 3-year contract paying him 11 million dollars per season. Not going to trade 2023 NBA Finals point guard Gabe Vincent, only D'Angelo and Hachimura.
@anythinggoesvideospart-2242 😉 he was 1-8 from 3 and they almost lost because he thought it was a great idea to pull a 3 with 11secs on the clock. So it sounds like to me like 3s didn't get him to that big 32 🤫
My takeaway is the same we need to find balance. Last year we had a stretch of being an elite defense, and we also had a stretch of being elite offensively. I need to see both
As a lifelong Lakers fan... I always love watching the Lakers win. Especially, when their biggest stars play at the level that we have grown to expect from our stars over the years. From Magic'Showtime Lakers to Kobe and Shaq's three peat to Kobe's last run with Gasol and now with LeBron's Lakers. I firmly believe that this team reminds me of the Kobe and Shaq teams of the early 2000's.. This team is playing at a high level right now. In fact, if this team plays like this moving forward...they could easily finish the season with the three seed come the playoffs. Plus, they should be getting Vanderbilt back soon from injury which only improves their defense. Not to mention that the Lakers could (hopefully) have V.Wood back in their lineup come the playoffs. At full strength this Lakers team is going to be hard to beat in a best of seven series.
When the whole squad contributes like this it’s crazy how solid and deep the Lakers look. Maybe they’re recapturing some momentum from earlier this season
When Lebron plays with defensive mindset this team instantly goes from mediocre to really good! As others here saying if team gets Vando back at 90-100% then they could make noise in the playoffs imo
Sacramento now misses trading Harris Barns they have no consistent wing scorer. Thank you, Lakers, for stepping up mentally for locking in 2 games in a row. Serves Sacramento, right
Blame this on the Lakers GM putting too much pressure on Rookie 3-point shooter Dalton Knecht by not signing a 6-year veteran 2-Guard the previous season in 2023-24 that moves without the ball for 3-pointers made off catch & shoot.
@@awake369soul5 that would makes som sense if we had the time to do that we are in win now mode more than ever look they can say what they want about AD but the guy averages 27 and 11 and is the best defensive player in the league playin out of his preferred position playing in 100 of our last 105 games something like that which is crazy the fact we can get the same in a trade now than when we traded for him after winning a championship is awesome now bron is aging and don’t play d takes plays off but he is still healthy and a major price to win that has value in a trade so the lakers must decide move on from them and start fresh while they are healthy and worth a lot or go all in and go all in but staying in the middle expecting different results is the definition of insanity and with they’re lack of shooting taking Knect out of the rotation makes no sense how can he go from tying NBA records looking like a top shooter to not playing I know teams are gonna account for him but we need to make a effort for him to get shots up every game he shoots less than 5 times is a bad deal. What do you guys think
@@TimetototallywatchCinema ill take kessler any day but the jazz reportedly said No to 2 FRPs, so no chance. Valanciunas maybe but hes not worth a FR imo. not with 2 decent backup 5s
@ nah trade Gabe away with 2nd rounders for Jonas, and trade Wood or Hayes with a FR for Kessler. It’s a lakers tax jazz know damn they ain’t tryna see him for that much fr. But still he one of the best rim protectors who can average a double double. Lakers get him makes the team younger and better for the future. They aren’t drafting any generational talent anytime soon like in the past and they ain’t a free agency destination never has been fr. They need to make moves on the trade market. Dlo has to do this Vs Nuggets OKC Houston for me to be impressed and not want to move him for someone like Lonzo who overall fits way better.
We know it's impossible for a team to play with maximum intensity during the whole season, but if this team keeps playing like this on most games, we can be a problem in the postseason. Having a coach that holds everyone accountable is crucial. Shout out to Gabe, Cam and Max for stepping up. It's great seeing Gabe getting his mojo back.
poor Rui never mentioned unless it's about being traded because of his defense 😂 even though he's been given the most minutes during this stretch with the Lakers playing their best overall defense. He may not be agile enough to chase around screens but he gives you physicality that can bang with the strongest bigs in the league, he may lose more often that not but it's not a free gimme like it would be if it were Vando, DFS, Cam, etc.
Christ is our New NBA Champ Rick Fox and Reddish is becoming our New AC Green Go Lakers we needel Defensive Anchors to Win Know your role play your role with pride.
Darvin Ham is gone, but this same roster shot 9 for 35 at 3-pointers in this win. Because the Lakers GM didn't give Coach Ham a veteran 2-Guard that plays off the ball for catch & shoot while averaging at least 37% for 3-pointers off at least 5.5 attempts per game.
Vando, christian wood and hayes been injured too. Thats 3 bigs, imagine when they get back. This team is much better than even lakers fans realize it is. Those injuries helped open up mins for cam, koloko and knecht and this team is gonna be fire by the feb deadline. If we get lavine this is easily a wcf team.
These good wins but tryna see wins vs the thunder nuggets Celtics and Knicks Rockets. Wins Vs wolves tryna figure out their offense, a team that is tanking, and regular season team ain’t moving fr. Grizz is good they the 2nd seed.
Yall understate how hard it is to win games in the NBA. With that mindset, only wins against like 3-5 teams in the entire league matter, but then every loss = panic mode. This is narrative pushing talk
They played the same team. You laker fans will be crying after they plays someone good. The refs has to give them 40 foul shots a game just to win by a few and it looks like lebron is back on the juice and even got caught by the camera during the game popping pills.

Good to put Sacramento back in their place. Just like the old days. Go Lakers!
Thank God Darvin Ham is gone
Darvin ham wasnt terrible but i think jj reddick and this staff is alot more keyed in on what can make us great as a team. God forbid any more injuries
Ham has the lowest basketball IQ of any coach I have ever seen
@ that cap
@@elvide0are u drunk? Darvin ham was horrible
I think this Lakeshow season now listens to the fans
am just happy watching this team holding points to lower points, even lebron is hustling, but to top it off to win wen AD had a bad night is special
hes always great defensively, but dont think he can score 30 every night with that effort on defense
@@Suicidalmbecilethat's right..we shouldn't expect a 40piece and superb defense same time..I'm just glad that our defense collectively is growing solid
Man… if Vando ever comes back healthy this team could really be something defensively with AD, Christie, Reddish, and when they’re all locked in
Facts man
YESS SIRR!!!! alot of people, even fans of the lakers, forget how impactful vando is for us when we have a fully healthy squad. He saves us on so many possessions with his defense and rebounds.

@@thumpthumptv1651nah they need defense. We got plenty that can score
IF
I know what it is, no one wants to get traded lol 😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣
Dlo and vabe fighting 😂😂😂

I been rooting for this roster all season and last season. To see everyone become IMPACT PLAYERS around AD and Bron is the best feeling
They needa trade vando wood and Hayes for a center
@@yoboychris3501TF HELL NO🤣
Stop giving AD the ball for clutch free-throws, tell LeBron stop shooting 3s with 3mins left while up
should we also tell LeBron to stop scoring 32 points as well ??
@anythinggoesvideospart-2242 😉 he was 1-8 from 3 and they almost lost because he thought it was a great idea to pull a 3 with 11secs on the clock. So it sounds like to me like 3s didn't get him to that big 32 🤫
My takeaway is the same we need to find balance. Last year we had a stretch of being an elite defense, and we also had a stretch of being elite offensively. I need to see both
They just need a real center
JJ is prime time on the mic when you ask a good question
Defense wins championships
Gabe has contributed in a big way as well. A healthy Vando and a Big Bruising Big will seal the deal.
Man LEBRON JAMES Is Absolutely The Greatest Basketball Player Ever and It Ain't Even Close No MORE 🤷🏿♂️
Yeah it's history King James 👑🐐🦾💯

INTENSITY < CONSISTENCY
And could JJ save the snacks for after the press conference lol
I was thinking the same thing. His ahh after drinking that ice cold water was super refreshing for him 😂
I’ve seen this before. No one wants to get traded that’s why everyone is playing well
When Lebron plays with defensive mindset this team instantly goes from mediocre to really good! As others here saying if team gets Vando back at 90-100% then they could make noise in the playoffs imo
Sacramento now misses trading Harris Barns they have no consistent wing scorer. Thank you, Lakers, for stepping up mentally for locking in 2 games in a row. Serves Sacramento, right
I love the wins but 5 minutes for knect is not the smartest thing he is still our best 3 point shooter he hasn’t got more than 5 attempts in so long
Blame this on the Lakers GM putting too much pressure on Rookie 3-point shooter Dalton Knecht by not signing a 6-year veteran 2-Guard the previous season in 2023-24 that moves without the ball for 3-pointers made off catch & shoot.
Feel like they are hiding him from the league .. before trade deadline .trying to build value for Russel hacimuria..and Vincent

What do you guys think
@@deandrepage1048 are you talking about Caruso
Still need Centers. AD is not a center bro. He cannot play center 24/7 bruh especially Vs dudes like sabonis and joker.
with wood and jax as backups we good. A Stretch 5 and a rimrunning 5. cam johnson to round out the roster. trade Rui keep dlo
@ bro wood is barely a stretch bruh. And Hayes is alright but we need a big line Kessler/Jonas.
@@TimetototallywatchCinema ill take kessler any day but the jazz reportedly said No to 2 FRPs, so no chance. Valanciunas maybe but hes not worth a FR imo. not with 2 decent backup 5s

That penchant for missing clutch FTs is going to hurt AD's MVP campaign.
Bro AD has no case for MVP whatsoever. He’s having a good season though
Great coverage, thank you!
We need to trade our players who never play wood, Vanderbilt, Jalen hood I think we can get a good player with those 3 players
100% agree all those players are useless accept for like vando but cam does the same exact thing and is able to be more healthy
U can't trade them when they keep getting injured lol
No why tf would u tease Vando when he’s coming back in January
@@zkupnext_9294I don’t think he’s coming back
They no what they got in Dalton ..
We know it's impossible for a team to play with maximum intensity during the whole season, but if this team keeps playing like this on most games, we can be a problem in the postseason. Having a coach that holds everyone accountable is crucial.
Shout out to Gabe, Cam and Max for stepping up. It's great seeing Gabe getting his mojo back.
JJ has an amazing coaching staff frfr
Darvin ham couldn't dream of beating the kings twice on a back to back lol
Trade deadline D’lo is back!
Haha
Feel like there not playing Dalton... Cause they are trying to gain trade value on the other players like Vincent ..Russel .and hacimuria
Are you still on board to trade Vincent?
poor Rui never mentioned unless it's about being traded because of his defense 😂
even though he's been given the most minutes during this stretch with the Lakers playing their best overall defense.
He may not be agile enough to chase around screens but he gives you physicality that can bang with the strongest bigs in the league, he may lose more often that not but it's not a free gimme like it would be if it were Vando, DFS, Cam, etc.
i wish the jazz would just give us walker
Nobody is smacking into the mic more than JJ
I wish JJ would stop smacking his teeth & eating during interviews. Just wait 10 more min bro lol. Messing up the audio
Christ is our New NBA Champ Rick Fox and Reddish is becoming our New AC Green Go Lakers we needel Defensive Anchors to Win Know your role play your role with pride.
I love winning ❤
Hope vanderbilt and wood will comeback ,hayes also
Good for us... We still need to make a few trades regardless though...
Nah they don’t only a center if they keep playing like this we good watch
Darvin Ham is gone, but this same roster shot 9 for 35 at 3-pointers in this win. Because the Lakers GM didn't give Coach Ham a veteran 2-Guard that plays off the ball for catch & shoot while averaging at least 37% for 3-pointers off at least 5.5 attempts per game.
They got it wrong though..it's 9fir 25 but yeah that 3pt has gone back down. But I know DK is will go off after tradedeadline, we good
JJ always has something in mouth Reddick
Water isn’t that good JJ 😂
TRADE DEADLINE DLO!
They are actually increasing their trade values🤷🤷🤷😂😂
DLo is so good at trade deadline, all of a sudden he plays like an all-star !!
Vando, christian wood and hayes been injured too. Thats 3 bigs, imagine when they get back. This team is much better than even lakers fans realize it is. Those injuries helped open up mins for cam, koloko and knecht and this team is gonna be fire by the feb deadline. If we get lavine this is easily a wcf team.
So we turned Cam into Vando, so can we get rid of vando. Haven't played in 2years
They just need DWIGHT HOWARD,,,
How is his scoring ability ?
oh, you must think Dwight is still in his prime huh ?? lol
Bro Dwight is on dancing with the stars get real
Don’t look but the lakers the 5th seed 🫣
Everytime we play the Kings Fox always scores 30 on us
5 games 😂
AD choking again 😂
These good wins but tryna see wins vs the thunder nuggets Celtics and Knicks Rockets. Wins Vs wolves tryna figure out their offense, a team that is tanking, and regular season team ain’t moving fr. Grizz is good they the 2nd seed.
We just beat them
@ Ik that’s what I’m saying wins like that Vs teams that have a real shot of making noise in the playoffs
Yall understate how hard it is to win games in the NBA. With that mindset, only wins against like 3-5 teams in the entire league matter, but then every loss = panic mode. This is narrative pushing talk
@ losing to contenders is panic mode, losing to tanking teams is just like wtf cause every win the the west counts fr it ain’t the east.
They played the same team. You laker fans will be crying after they plays someone good. The refs has to give them 40 foul shots a game just to win by a few and it looks like lebron is back on the juice and even got caught by the camera during the game popping pills.
Did you not watch the games at all? Just talking to talk
@@toxicmelody6228he’s yapping and capping
Kings is trying to find an identity right now that’s why the team is bottom of the barrel. You can’t use them to know if a plan is working.
