How LeBron & Lakers COOKED The Jazz
The Lakers took down the Jazz in a game that saw the return of LeBron James, who was so much fun on offense and made plays on defense, though there were a few concerns as well. Trevor Lane breaks it all down…

Knowing the Lakers, they're gonna lose the next game
no legs, no lungs and he still did his thing. just wait on it!
don't just just vert and speed off this game lol.. wait till bout Christmas
Playing with this squad on NBA2K will be cheating
This may be the most fun iteration of LeBron James I really can't wait to see where it goes from here as a player like Luca starts to feed off of him
Lol he glossed over every dogshit defensive play from Luka😂😂Tlkn abt sum “not to mention da closeout n da blow by”. No let’s mention it since u spent an hour tlkn abt Bron.
Luka , don’t like Austin Reaves what you Gotta say about that😂😂😂😂
Didn’t you say they didn’t need LeBron?😂
OKC vs LAL (Conference final)🥊🥊🍿🍿
Luka said AR is not his friend😂 at the end of the game what do you gotta say about that? You know he’s weak and you constantly go for AR
LeBron has said multiple times that he love passing. He love the success of his teammates more than anything
Of course he is gonna score, when he needs to. If Luka and AR are struggling, LeBron is there to carry
Lebron isn't the issue on defence, your focus today should be on Luka and Rui who are not only poor defenders but poor at reading the defensive side of the ball.
I'm looking forward to the rematch with OKC. LAL got cooked well-done in the first game, but with LeBron back, OKC's defense would have to react faster because the Lakers will have 2 elite playmakers/shotmakers on the floor. The Lakers were actually 4-3 over OKC since the 2023-24 season and before the most recent matchup, which they lost.
I dont understand all the glazing here. Lebron has made 8 assist a game for 20 years. He looks the absolute same as he always does just taking less shots
All the nay sayers were proven RIGHT the defense of the starting lineup was the worst in league history. (Or at least since the Lakers opener vs the warriors) Great integration by Lebron though otherwise, and this is the most fun regular season team in a long time. Sadly a guaranteed playoff catastrophe without major trades, would hate to mess with the vibes.
LeBron at this capacity is good
Even if LeBron came off the bench with the 2nd unit the team will be rolling
3 guys that can legitimately put up 10 assists any game
I think Brons goal this yr is to lead the league in assist again😂
Ever since Darvin Ham started Rui, I kept saying he needs to come off the bench as a 6 man type. He gets lost on damn near every play unless it's offense. Especially now that we have Luka, Reaves, Ayton, and LeBron, we have enough offense in the starting lineup, we need defense to help Ayton. Maybe Smart or Vando can fill that role. But I think Vando is in the dog house because JJ gives that man no minutes.
Serious 4 thoughts for JJ and staff… Now that he has his full team hopefully for the rest of the season 🤞
1. The possession battle…. The result of this will dictate how far they go…
Meaning defensive rebounding, turnover differential…. Among other things that wins you possessions !!!!
Hou, OKC, Den all are exceptional with this aspect… And lakers have to get there…how?
This is a significant challenge for the lakers and a huge problem solving assignment for the coaching staff and brain trust on this team
2. Identity establishment… With this roster everything needs to flow from IQ pov….
A team that understands it's strength and more importantly its limitations… And able to solve problems on the floor by being connected, communicative and play with high IQ…. Without long stretches of lapses…. Will be key
3. Leveraging depth and role assignment for each player deep into their rotations…. This was an F last season and has to be an A this regular season..
If you're not a top 4 seed, you're simply not winning…
4. 2022 Warriors, 23 nuggets were not world beaters but were in prime position to cash in on the breaks….JJ and staff have to prepare his team to be ready when the fortune or breaks come their way in the playoffs…. They have absolutely the playoff experience on this roster to execute…..
JJ it's on you….
Kerr did it, Spo's done it…. You can too…👍
Auyton is balling out of control
Thanks Trevor for showing one of my favorite players ever the appreciation for his game
Bravo Trev… Such a great coverage … Great pod 👍
Lebron makes the game easier for his teammates.
LET'GO LAKERS WIN 🏆 ❤🎉😮
i hope bronny and lebron retires together hate for lebron to see his kid get mock now that he's not there to protect him
Looking back to showtime. Magic averaged 21, Worthy 19, and Kareem 18… not sure this team can have that same parity. Luka will be above 30, AR at 24, LeBron at 20.
Has this channel ever did a breakdown on Luka and Austin’s defense?
Instead of just surface level narrating the last game, would love to see the analysis of how many variations the lakers used the slip screen against the jazz. It’s way poetry
I wanna see against the nuggets and OKC with everyone healthy and get revenge on ATL and Chicago from last season. Want them to go on big winning streak
Rui Hachimura and a second, plus pick swap for Wigs. Dalton for Jones jr., and I think we got a chip in the bag so to speak at least this year
Luka was nominated for best defender at Euro this summer, so yeah hes trying harder then ever.
It’s always about defense because offense will come and go so I the concern is lakers starting 5 has no defensive stoppers
The Jazz are one of few teams that play this style of offense. Most teams are switch hunting, pick and roll type offenses. Utah has a very unique offense with a ton of off-ball and back screens.
A lot of the switch and switch back defensive mistakes happened in the first half. They made adjustments defensively and it showed in the second half.
Enough of LeBron hype. Glad he's back but enough is enough…
People really don't buy this point lebron as long term , do they ? 😂
