Yes but Durant went from Vando to Marcus and scored easily
LeBron is the problem.
Rich Paul had no business talking about the roster on a team where he has clients even though he wasn't lying in what he said.
And LeBron could have easily said something to distance himself from his agent's comments if he wanted to, but this team is just getting exposed facing stiffer competition.
Whatever LeBron is doing or not doing the front office signed up for it when they gave him 50M+ and a player option and a no trade clause in his last deal…
How is Rui gonna take 8 threes when you have 3 ball dominant players taking 20+ shots each? He relies on them to get him shots because they always have the ball but somehow it’s on him for only taking 3-5 shots a game? Luka chunking up all those crazy step back 3’s and complaining about a call on EVERY SINGLE SHOT. I never been a fan of those superstar no defense ball hogs that score 30 and give up 25. MJ and Kobe were ball hogs but they locked you up on defense too.
When are the Lakers gonna stand 10 toes down and correct? The problem LeBron maybe needs to start for five minutes and I will set him on the bench and let AR and Luca do they thing fuck!!!
the fuck is this word salad lol
Lebron is not one of the biggest problem. He is THE Biggest problem.
This team was doing great until Lebron returns.
All advanced stat shows that Lebron is Lakers' worst defensive liability (only Knecht had worse margin)
He became dead weight. Doncic & AR are our future.
Lakers has to move on.
Elephant in the room is LeBron, which everyone refuse to talk about. It’s time for him to retire he lasted his love for the game
On any job when you get too old to do the job you should retire.
I don't understand why we have to play Austin, Luka, and LeBron on the court same time. Also, scapegoating Rui is a serious issue. Having egoistic 3 superstars are the issue we cannot build around for no one
It's not ROCKET science (no pun intended). The middle and back-end of the Lakers roster is trash. Very little athleticism and lack of consistent shooting.
Everybody numbers was up until labron came back that's a fact and they were second in the west labron messing up the chemistry him and his agent bench that boy labron end of story
Queen james been the problem ALWAYS will be the problem 😂 ruined the lakers chemistry like dude always does with those empty stats and losing
Teams figured them out after the Spurs blowout. Just keep attacking the paint basically
Big upz to Sean. Iv been missing his breakdowns.
Ar is out 4-6 weeks 🤦
Luka and AR have a good run before Lebron entered this Season. I think Luka & Lebron would not work the way Luka & Kyrie can play each other.
This guy is either delusional or a Lebron fanboy or maybe both. He keeps saying 82 games of defense from Lebron like he doesn’t know Lebron has only played 82 games 1 time in 23 seasons. He glosses over the criticism of Lebron and talks about the whole team. He’s comparing role players to a guy the Lakers are playing $53 million dollars to pad his offensive longevity stats. Keep it a buck and stop deflecting.
Sanjit makes a good point about Reddick (Not Riddick 😂)
The Luka trade isn't looking like SUCH a steal anymore. LeBrat is pouting & Davis did the dirty work Rebound Block Shots Score hit CLUTCH shots.No AD no bubble ring !
nah, lakers need a veteran coach that KNOWS how to utilized his current players, he'll be great with a young rebuilding team. but coaching talent is another beast. He's just another Luke Walton.
There best shot, ironically, is having better shot selection(Luka). Wild shots create runouts and they don’t have the athleticism to defend in transition.
So you guys aren't real Lakers fans alrighty then so not calling out the biggest problem on the Lakers right away tells me you're scared to say it how it is meaning the biggest problem on the Lakers is the guy that has never been great his whole career LeBron James that's not hate he's an average okay player at best great is not a word he's greatly hyped the rest of the team is good they did good without LeBron yes we need more Defenders that's not a denial but do not call out the biggest problem the reason why we suck is LeBron James if you can't play defense and he should retire already he doesn't even really play offense that great even when he wasn't his prime. Wide open dunks isn't a great player. Thats basically all he had his whole career. And the over hyped machine. Without that he's an okay average player that would have been booted out years ago.
Lebelco is on roids and u dont call that out either amazing. No player has ever played this much this old. ROIDS
Marcus Smart looks like he has a flat tire.😮
If you’re willing to trade Rui, there is a world where you end up with Wiggins and Herb. Rui and maxi with a second for Wiggins and Gabe Dalton and a first for herb
Defense..Defense
LAL Iis struggling since Lebron came back from fake injury.😂😂😂
Lefraud Blames is the problem
LeBron is the wrench in system. Admit it you cowards 😊
Ever since LeBron came back on the court the chemistry has not been smooth anymore. Admit it.
We not winning no chip with Luka brickin 3s and tryna statpad no defense, not getting teammates involved
Luka is the laziest I have ever seen
Saw a clip going around yesterday and it was Trevor lane asking if MIN were to offer Anthony Edwards for Luka, what does/should LA say?
As a Laker fan, I think LA should definitely consider that. With AR blossoming into this STAR that we see today, I think with Ant next to him at the 2 would be a better backcourt than with Luka.
The athleticism, ability to not be hunted on defense, the offense could go back to being more fluid, I’d definitely consider it if I were LA.
Love Luka but his isolation play is getting old. Also him not being physically able to play solid defense, he needs DOGS next to him. I think he would THRIVE in MIN. Their defense, toughness, length, and lob threats, that’s a recipe to win with Luka. They need a PG, while also not losing out on a star player, Luka with McDaniels to guard the best player and with Rudy to protect that rim?
I think it’s a win win for both sides.
If the Vet-Star doesn’t put in the effort, the team follows his example… you simply don’t win if you think “it’s just basketball” …
The Lakers will suck and loose as long the King stays, simple as that.
EXCELLENT analysis Sean 👏🏽
