Ugly, ugly game. I hate watching JC play basketball right now. He's taken over for last season's Kobe. He plays like passing is against the rules of basketball.

What's more concerning is that Jordan is letting his offensive struggles impact his defensive intensity. He's already not a great defender and opponents are punking him right now because his heart isn't in it.
this is exactly who he is. Bad to avg defender. Bad to avg playmaker. Pounds ball, hot and cold offensively never steady
Agreed. He was drafted in the second round for a reason, not just because all the GMs were stupid. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Nailed it.
Not trying to be reactionary about how poorly JC's played, but I really hope it's correctable soon. This has been his worst stretch as a rotation Laker. _________________ Austin Reaves

Loss of court vision and selflessness to make the right play is not a slump.
Correct. But I think he's trying to shoot himself out of his slump and prove his worth, which is creating secondary problems in his tunnel vision and selfishness. Those are results of his slump that he really needs to figure out. But they're still related issues. _________________ Austin Reaves

unless mans bout to be a career 25% shooter from now on I think we can say its a slump this time fam
it's not a slump. this team has less firepower so defenses keyed in on him. he's also been hella scouted which is not hard to do. Scouting report: he takes the shot 99.8% of the time.
Isn't he the 3rd highest paid player on the team now? This isn't the breakout 46th pick making under a million player any,ore. We need him to be less selfish and a team player. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Clarkson trying to dunk from what seemed to be the free throw line with a defender in front of him, instead of dishing it off to a wide open Randle, was probably the lowest IQ Laker play of the season thus far. Instead of an easy basket, we gave the ball away on an offensive foul.

not his game. Hes a ball pounder he'll come through with buckets sometimes but nothing else. He's tradable.
That being said, JC took some absolutely horrid shots tonight. Very poor shot selection. It's really disappointing to see him not display the court vision he once showed his first season. _________________ Austin Reaves

when the 1st 2 are not producing why worry about the 3rd?

Because he's 24 going on 25 and should be entering his prime and playing smarter and harder. The vets are on a decline. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

We have injuries, we have guys out and we are in our first real losing streak of the season. I think that some of these guys are just putting too much pressure on themselves. The lack of effort in the first half had nothing to do with pressure, though. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
