Having a week off can be a double edge sword for the Lakers. They haven’t always come back from a long rest and played well, they seem to do better with momentum than rest. Also keep in mind. The Lakers are no longer an old team… with of course, the exception of LeBron, who was just starting to get his wind back. And already has had quite a bit of rest.
Bruh they played like 3 games and bron wasn’t in shape in any of them luka was gone bron sat so I don’t care about any net negative numbers right now
Marcus will play tonight
22:00 Was KD, Russ and Harden a net negative in OKC?
The reason the offense is -5 with LeBron luka and Austin in the floor is because of the philosophy behind the offense. With those lineups Luka hogs the ball every single time. There needs to be a synergy between the three of them to keep the defense off balance. Lebron and Reaves are not role players. They’re rhythm players. They need to be involved in the offense more when Luka is in the floor. Luka has to learn to get off the ball more or their offense will not improve when the three of them are out there. It shouldn’t be a top down order of Luka has it first, then LeBron, then Reaves. They need to share it evenly when they’re playing together
Lakers are good because Austin and Luka are good. Lebron is a negative with all of them. I think it’s due to flow and intensity. Lebron plays safe mode which exposes are other players.
Trevor talking lebum gonna be here next year
Always appreciate you Trevor
🚨🚨 I know EXACTLY what RICH PAUL is saying and you Laker fans might not want to hear this but when he says YOU CAN NOT WIN WITH THAT STYLE OF PLAY he is talking about LUKA. I set back and watched his play style and guess who he plays just like guess🤔💭…… The same person Kobe said can't win with that style and that's JAMES HARDEN. LUKA plays just like James Harden. Almost identical. Yeah their going to score but they both can't defend and that style of play is easily able to be guarded. It's just FACTS. Him and james harden plays just alike
Rest ??? That’s dumb. Nah win the cup.
5-0
If LeBron plays spurs will be very very close and win in the end. With LeBron Lakers can’t pull away
With the speed and athleticism that the Spurs possess with players like Harper, Castle, and Fox, I hope Vando is able to play a bit to help the team contain them and bring chaotic energy to the game. I know he has been getting DNP’d and he’s most likely to get another DNP tonight but I hope he gets another opportunity to showcase his talents and strengthen the weaknesses of his game
It is not about playing Luka, Austin and LeBron together. It is playing them alongside Rui. Without Rui they are positive together. Rui is just awful fit defensively with Lebron
If u really concerned about the 3rd wheel effect trade Austin!
@5:41 if i remember correctly the final NBA cup game also doesn't count as a game played for players either.
Can the lakers get C P 3
Ngl that rest sounds pretty good for us right now.. "If" we lose this game it's not the end of the world 👀
UNLEASH VANDO!!!!!!!
Lakers has to build.a Team to compete with OKC IF Gianis be a LLAKER BIG .
beat SPurs, then rest 🙂
Rich paul is a joke, and there's no way lebron didn't know he was gonna do that
Like Bron said it will change its only been his 6th NBA gm C'Mon Trevor
Win both, why not? 🤔
Luca and Austin need to focus on defense and stop "whining" and throwing their hands up. Jake stays focused and plays both in. LeBron, I give a pass due to age, but he is capable. They need to play Adou more; he needs to get used to playing with some of the starters. The contact and the speed of the game he has to get used to.
Without Wemby, should be blowout for the Lakers.
Why you putting this clown mebron on your thumbnails? Unsubbed
Big 3 play no D
Net negative when all 3 together on the court at the same time is no surprise
Plus they’re facing the other teams best 5 together to start and end the game
Quite often give up 30+ in 1st qtr
Much better in 4th I’ve noticed
So basically they expect us to be a 45 win team every year, no improvements, no nothing, even if we improved the team. That’s why I don’t mess with analytics like that
why do you wear a jacket indoors
I think starting Rui is the problem. We put in a strong defender with Bron Ar luka and we are rolling
