Offense is not the issue. Defense... Too much unbalance line-ups out there.

Scored 250 points last 2 games and lost.

The real scary thing is the team is built this summer on defense first moves and guys.

Pat Bev
Dennis
Jones (shot blocking)
Brown Jr.
JTA

We added a lot of guys with younger legs known for their defensive effort instead of older slower players like Melo, DAJ, Baze, Bradley etc.

Offense i dont fault coaching. We’re a limited group. Look at that last play, Dennis can’t make a 3. It is what it is regarding our limitations on offense.

The defense? This is effort and coaching. The staff is playing super small lineups and also the Laker players aren’t playing defense the way they began the season. The commitment just isn’t there.


You just can’t turn over an entire team of minimums every year and expect to be competitive. Every now and then a minimum hits, but they’re minimums for a reason: they aren’t very good.

Just feels like this has run its course. A trade isn’t going to fix this. They need a whole team of guys. Not 1 or 2. A whole team. They need more than 2 starting caliber players. They need a wing. They need a big. They need a quality 6th man. They need a bench. And even for that to work it still requires our two top guys stay healthy and they just can’t.

I can’t muster up the anger to direct at Darvin Ham for playing small guard lineups when he has a team primarily comprised of small guards. Pretty sure if he had some wings he’d be playing them.


Straight facts. Some people on this board are so delusional


You can in fact do that whenever your top two star stay healthy and they were showing that before Anthony Davis went down again. The problem is our top two stars don’t stay healthy.
