What does this mean?

[FireDavidKahn]

That they can't win games.

[AirTupac]

That they can't win games.

Sure when 3 starters are out. Teams lose games. Lakers win 2 of the games they lost the last 2 weeks EASILY with Kuzma or Rondo back :oldlol:


You think 21 year old BI and 3 guys who cant make a shot will win games in the 4th?

LOL 0 basketball logic

[SpaceJam]

They were 10th with him...so a drop off of 8

However, they were 15th in offensive rating...they are now 26th with Bron

Ironically .1 ahead of the Cavaliers

Lakers 104.5 ORTG
Cavs 104.4 ORTG

Yeah.... when Rondo and Kuzma go out as well :facepalm

[tpols]

They lost kuzma for a couple of the losses, don't be dishonest.

When your third option can drop 40.... you're stacked.

[Manny98]

3-5

[AirTupac]

3-5

With Kuzma they would be 6-2 :roll:

3 close call games....

[SpaceJam]

Yeah.... when Rondo and Kuzma go out as well :facepalm

That's fair, forgot about Rondo

But the Lakers are back to being a good defensive team at the same time Bron is out? Why?

WHY?


Hart is a much better defender than LeBron and the whole team is playing with more energy and chemistry.

[atljonesbro]

You’re telling me LeBron is on ANOTHER stacked team? That defense is insane. He has no excuses if he doesn’t win a championship

[AirTupac]

Hart is a much better defender than LeBron and the whole team is playing with more energy and chemistry.


That is pretty telling considering Hart is a poor man to man defender on the perimeter but still a + compared to Bron's on ball defense :eek:

Rondo/Kuzma/other injuries and Lakers lost to 2 of the greatest game winners ever seen in history.

They should literally be 6-2 or 7-1 if not for injuries and flukes.

Kuzma already better than Pippen ever been and they have a top 2 defense in the entire league.

This is easily a 60 win team without Bran.

It'd be a playoff team thats the bare minimum

[superduper]

DAMN crazy how LeGOAT is making this team play at an extremely high defensive level. On or off the court our LeGOAT manages to always will his team to the top of the league.

How does he do it?! :eek:

LeGOAT!!

But when Kobe and Bynum missed games the Lakers kept winning.. EXPLAIN PLEASE :roll:


THE LAKERS HAVE PLAYED 2 games vs Playoff teams and they are 3-5 without Bron... If you want to talk about Kuzma they are 3-3 with him in and Lebron out..

Lebron isnt that good on defense anymore.. But he isnt all that bad when you look at his defensive rating.. :lol

Dude has 56 k minutes on those legs.. No player has ever played that many minutes and still a top player in the league..

YEA AND KOBE HAD LITTLE IMPACT, I figured I would let you know that the Lakers thrived when BOTH KOBE AND BYNUM were out.. :roll:

What about when he BLOCKED 6'9 Tiago Splitter? :eek:

Lebron before he got injured had a DBPM of +1.9 pts, Kobe at age 34 had a -0.5. and the Lakers ranked 20th on defense.

even in espn real plus minus, Lebron has a + 1.35

What does this mean?

You really don't want to know the offensive rankings of the teams they just recently faced?
Detroit ranked 29th in FG%,
Knicks ranked 30th,
Dallas ranked 21st,
Lakers with Kobe also ranked 20th on defense at age 34 when he played 78 games, had a -0.5 on dbpm.
Even when the Lakers won in 2008, Kobe ranked 8th at a minus -0.2 in defensive plus/minus in the team. That is not a knock on the Mamba.
That is just the way it is. It doesn't make him a bad defender, the focus is just much different.

The Lakers were the #4 seed and 10th defensively with LeBron. They're struggling to hold onto the 8th seed without him and they've been playing trash teams. Lets not forget that their offense is trash without LeBron as well.

by dec. 10, lakers had the 25th toughest schedule played in the nba.

by christmas eve, they were 17th.

between dec. 10 through christmas eve, the lakers went 2-4 w/ bron (and rondo and kuzma).

the stretch that bron has been out has been their toughest of the season thus far. and they've been without kuz and rondo for most of it.

What the **** kind of crack are you smoking? They played against Detroit, Dallas, Kings x 2, Wolves, Clips, and Okc. The only "good" teams being the Thunder and the Clips.

Lets also not act like LeBron wasn't playing without Rondo, Ingram, McGee, and Chandler for a ton of games.

Not many teams can win 55 games without their #1 option.

Thunder 26 - 16


All those teams are in running for the Playoffs, there's not a single "bad" team on that list. They had two bad losses, obviously the one to the Knicks at home & the blowout loss @MIN. They lost to a game-winner @SAC and have lost to some really good teams, it's a tough as **** schedule.

They face two lottery teams next @ Staples that they should win without Lebron & then they got @Thunder, @Rockets, Warriors & Wolves in their next four. This is toughest part of their season.

The Pistons, Jazz, Kings, Wolves, Dallas, and the Knicks are out of the PO's right now. They are shit teams and so is this Laker team without LeBron. If you honestly think that those teams aren't bad, then you shouldn't ever bitch and moan about LeBron playing in the East or making the Finals from the EC.

The Lakers played 2 teams which are in the PO run right now and they are the Thunder and the Clippers. Guess what. They lost both those games. They're also 3-4 against those other teams and are 3-6 overall. On pace to win 27 games. They were on pace to win 48 with LeBron and were a top 4 seed.
