Lakers seemed to lose every big emotional game.
– lost game after lbj passed kobe in points
– lost game after kobe tragedy.
– lost game when kobe statue revealed.
– lost game when lbj broke kajâs record
– lost game when lbj passed 40k
– havenât won an opening game since 2016
AD gotta step it up against the Nuggets. Dude plays like he’s afraid of Jokic.
Defensively, he’s a beast but he didn’t do anything to stop Jokic or Gordon, two players who he spent the most time guarding.
Gordon outplayed him last game… how are the Lakers supposed to beat a team where AD is not even the 5th best player on the court?
For a series against the Nuggets, AD HAS to be at least the third best player. So far, it’s been Jokic > LeBron > Murray > and sometimes it’s AD but other times it’s Gordon, MPJ, or Reaves.
Nobody can guard Jokic but if AD doesn’t get aggressive and get him in foul trouble, the Lakers aren’t beating the Nuggets. It’s unfortunate the Lakers don’t have a big with mass and the ability to play dirty against Jokic like Dwight because AD is clearly giving up size to Jokic. Even then, it doesn’t explain how Jokic is getting so many easy baskets and how on the opposite end of the court, AD is settling for jumpers and stepbacks. Every shot the Lakers took at the closing minutes of last night’s game were difficult shots. Almost every shot the Nuggets took were easy shots. That explains why we always lose to the Nuggets despite a close game overall.
AD soft as charmin. Dudes got all the talent in the world and zero drive. You either have the kill âem all mentality or you donât. And he clearly doesnât.Â
You could be an all time great, AD. And youâre just âgoodâ.Â
I love AD but he really has to overcome these euro bigs that get him off balance w their size. Weâve seen it w jokic and saw it a week ago w nurkic. AD removes himself from games when this happens
LeBron each game will break the record for points btw
Loser talk
The weight difference is huge, it’s like having Garnet or Tim guarding Shaq, as simple as that.
AD hasnât stepped up vs Jokic yet, how can we build anything around a dude who wonât even demand the ball and relies on a 40 year old. Heâs not a 1, we need a go to player and a superstar who can carry us and not a 40 year old. Not fair to Lebron either but thatâs on the lakers franchise
ESPN: AD is fed up with losing under LeBron.
