How Lakers CHANGED Against Kings, NEW Path Forward?
The Lakers looked very different in the way they played against the Kings. Yes, it’s just the Kings but the defensive effort and commitment on that end stand out in a big way, plus LeBron looks bouncy and LA just may have something in Nick Smith Jr….

We need a trade for athletic players
I agree
Detroit will test the lakers. We need center and shooting guard and forward
Wow…
They beat the kings
The one team that's more broken than the Lakers
So tomorrow BRON B day Bash stream. I think hes been the best player but I WAS glad to see Luka hitting some shots.
The front office needs to be accountable for the players on the team
Great analysis, Trevor. Not because we got the win…just a great breakdown of the things they did to improve.
A "NEW path forward" until their next game and loss.
What change and what victory against a weak assszz scramento Kings team. Make some trade Lakers, get AR, Rui, Gabe & LeFlop James outta there. 😂😂😂😂
Goodbye Gabe 👋
Man I think we have to much expectations from LeBron like it's not his fault lakers FO gave him 54 million when he was 39 and not his fault that at 41 we expect him to play defense but not the two young superstars Austin and luka like we will see what we get in next free agency if it's another Rob Pelinka no show then we are cooked !!
Shooting you mean dunking and laying the ball in. Anyone can do that
The kings are trash
Be hilarious now that Rui is out of the starting line up, the lakers dominate the first quarter. JJ would be fuming 😂
Nick Smith does have a skill … What is the date we can sign either a buy out or a FA? We have to be coming up on that time with the 1 million-ish dollars we have under the cap?
That fact that you have to call it 'extra' effort is exactly this team problem
We need to be talking about getting Ausar Thompson. I’m good on Keon Ellis he’s definitely not that guy
Unlike all the negative Nancies who are perpetually living in the salt mines crying about everything, I am going to choose to view this as a legitimate step forward as well as a solid blueprint for success (plus a few tweaks to the lineups, a likely coming trade for at least one defensive specialist). They’ll do it again versus Detroit, and will continue to improve as the season goes on. Everything is a work in progress. Have faith. Have patience. You will be rewarded, I promise you.
I realize Sac should be an easy win for almost any team but not necessarily for the Lakers. Yes they won and I'm super happy about that but the Lakers in the past have found ways to lose to many bottom tier teams. I just expect them to play like a well oiled machine but they're not there yet. Game coming up with Detroit will be a good teat
Idk about JJ unfortunately, bringing your starters back with 7 minutes to go with a banged up roster to boost stats, up 20?
He does not develop our young talent and is already a stubborn one sided (offensive) coach.
Interesting to see what new ownership will do with he and Rob.
Trade Lebron
At least SA and DEN lost last night.
I like the clips and how you break it down you think you can bring this to the hoop collective every now and then?
I don't wanna hear no more "trade Vando", I'm over it
