He's soft on offense not defense. He wasn't getting any calls to be fair. |
He has the quickness and footwork. Someone needs to teach this guy to be Hakeem the Dream. |
Not quite agile enough for that. But he can at least be TD. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketballβ¦but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

He has the quickness and footwork. Someone needs to teach this guy to be Hakeem the Dream. The difference between Hakeem and David Robinson is miniscule in the regular season but makes ALL the difference in the postseason. He better NOT be a Robinson. |
IMO AD also has to hit the weights this summer. |

Seriously. I don't think he's soft overall. His defense and rebounding speaks for itself. Today was a bit of an aberration as far as how many layups he missed, but he does need to learn to go up stronger. |

Well this season, Lebron probably grooming him to take over by next season. Work in progress and still winning games is good. |

Still racked up about 30 points with over 10 rebounds and a couple of clutch 3's
He could have done more but he still turned up |

Those AD numbers against the Celtics really mean nothing. Anyone who watched the game knows he hurt the Lakers AT LEAST as much as he helped them. We could have played without him all game, played Dwight maybe a little more and give AD minutes to Kuzma and we would have done just as well today. |

Clutch FTs, clutch 3's, some good rebounds only he could get
Some really good contests on Tatum as well but that dude was just hitting every contested jumper today |

He got better but taking the game into totality...he really was not a net positive. You play Kuzma all game today and lets say AD sits todays game, I think the spread would have been wider. We really need this guy to be as reliable as Dirk was in 2011 for us to have a chance. I dont think even Pau level 2010 will be enough right now. Dirk-like level in 2011 though could win us a title |

Hey dummy, look at the +/- for the individuals in tonights game. That should tell you the story. |

Yes, brilliant. Without AD we blow out the tics today. We need you as a coach. Hopefully the clippers are looking _________________ ππ π π π #18!!! |

Look at this genius....doesnt watch the game and uses total points and rebounds to justify how well a player played. Lets use your stats dumbass. AD shot 40% from the field and had 6 turnovers of the Lakers total 13, much of it from trying to back down midgets in the post that he failed nearly every time. He also had the 3rd worst +/- of all Lakers in the game. You wanna know who had the highest??? KUZMA jackass. Anyone who watched the game knows Kuzma played well on both ends of the floor today - even on defense to the point he wanted to guard Tatum in high leverage situations. |

Critiquing ADs game is fair. He had a fair amount of miscues.
But saying we win without him is another story. _________________ ππ π π π #18!!! |

Nobody is saying we can win (bleep) without AD. In fact I believe our only chance to win the chip is with him playing at a Dirk-like level in 2011 - something only AD has the talent to pull off. For one game though - today, he was atrocious despite the some good plays he made in the end. |

Now I get it. Kuzma's impact would have been exponentially felt without AD being there. TIL 1+1=2. Any more tidbits of how we would have won without AD? _________________ ππ π π π #18!!! |

If you really think AD enhances Kuzma's game or has to this point, maybe you should look at the best games Kuzma had this year. Yea....they were with AD OUT/INJURED |

It brings up the question, do we have AD if Magic had done the right thing and drafted Tatum instead of Lonzo? Would Lebron, Tatum and Ingram make us a better team? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
