Well as I've been saying all year the Lakers do need more physicality sign Dwight Howard. I will say it again sign Dwight Howard and you will have some interior toughness. They too soft inside. Davis needs help. If they have Dwight Howard they have a chance🎯
All i know everybody keep saying the lakers play better without LB. They still look horrible when he’s not on the floor at times and AD still disappears at times and D.Lo is D.Lo Mr inconsistent
These reporters are so lame when they speak with the players. They are afraid of them… What kind of reporter is that? Is this What they teach them , now ?
I know many of the fans see this game and become discouraged. I know many Lakers fans see the LeBron era as one of the darkest times in Lakers history. Many fans think this season is going to be another subpar finish with a team that is nowhere near being a serious contender. However, i see a team that had a really bad night who could not defend the paint and turned the ball over way to many times still have a chance to win. LeBron is the only Laker who showed any kind of heart as he put together another triple -double. The person who deserves the most blame is Coach JJ and i am sure he would agree with me. I liked hiring JJ Reddick as the Lakers head coach. I think he has a lot of basketball IQ from his playing days and from the guys who coached him as a player as well as the knowledge he gained from being an analyst, a fan of the game as well as a podcaster. He has never been affraid to speak what is on his mind without any hesitation. Unlike most of the coaches we have hired since Phil Jackson was no longer our coach…JJ is the type of guy who will yell, curse, throw things and then criticize every little mistake that his guys make regardless if you are a hall of famer, a superstar or just a role player riding the bench. However, i dont see the Lakers having so many turnovers on offense or giving up so many points in the paint on defense again for the rest of the year. The one thing he lacks as a good NBA coach is experience. The hardest part of being a head coach in the NBA is making Lineups, Matchups, Rotations, Substitutions and in game adjustments. JJ should have identified the issue turning over the ball and he should have made LeBron the primary ball handler before the tenth turnover. LeBron is the guy that i would trust the most not to turn the ball over so many times. If the Lakers only commit half as many turnovers and gave up half as many points in the paint…they would have won by at least 20 or 30 points. I would also love to see LeBron being more vocal as the captain when he needs to motivate his teammates on the court. I would also love to see LeBron take over in the final minutes of close games. These are things that can easily be prevented moving forward. Make no mistake this team will be a top 4 seed in the West come the playoffs. They will be healthy by then with Vando as well as Wood back in the lineup and this team will cause problems for any opponent they face in a seven game series.
Where is the coaching? I watch that game and that man never took one timeout to talk to the crew. I did notice lebron kept them in the game late eventhough I didnt see the coach help
