lakers vs Bucks

[1987_Lakers]

Literally as funny as Bron without AD

4 MVPs and 3x NBA Champion. You can do better than that.

Not as impressive as AD without LeBron

He actually can’t, he has severe brain damage.

Middleton passsed Ray Allen as best 3 point shooter in Bucks history tonight.
His 33% shooting , tonight , gave the Bucks and old look that helped propel Giannis into a 47 pt
Win for the Bucks.

We just need Lopez and Donte back and we will be all right.

Lakers AD had a average night ,, so I wonder if Lebron hands over the reins to another Laker ...
it could quit frankly be Westbrook.

The Lakers just look discombobulated on defense honestly... I've watched pieces of a few of their recent games including a few early in the season with Lebron and they just can't stop anybody. This isn't a dominant defensive team we saw last season when healthy. And it's kind of baffling why. They have Dwight back which should only help. Yes they lost Caruso and KCP so that hurts somewhat but they should still be really really good with such a dominant defensive big man duo. I think guys like Westbrook and Melo are bleeding too much defensive value.

Yeah, with

Wade
Irving
Bosh
Shaq
Love
Allen
etc.

He is just gold digger of NBA.

We just saw what happened him before Davis trade.

It's not baffling when they not only lose two of their best defenders but also brinig in a bunch of negative defenders that are too old to be playing consistent defense in the regular season.

It sucks how the lakers lost to the warriors in the preseason so many times, not winning just a single damn game even with the presence of their best player on the floor.

They've improved on defense over the last few weeks but the offense has been a complete failure with Russ on the court, even though they're playing at the 2nd highest pace in the league. It's a nightmare in the half court when he's the one with the ball. Bazemore and Rondo have been sub-par as well. Lakers are also the 3rd worst team in turnovers per game and among the worst teams in the league in FT shooting and mediocre on 3s despite Melo's hot start. We knew all these problems going in, this team could be good when it's at full health with Bron and Nunn there as well but that's a lot to ask over the course of the entire season. If THT keeps playing well, they could trade him for a 3&D wing to address the defensive and 3PT shooting woes. Melo is not a 25+ mpg player on a title team.

[ShawkFactory]

I think KCP, Caruso, Kuzma were much much better defenders. Those are things you dont see on stat sheets.

Correct, which is what they need. Once Bron gets back they’ll be fine offensively but they have no defense and no depth now.

The Lakers weren't an offensive giant last season either. They finished 24th in ORtg and were maybe 20th IIRC before Lebron got hurt. However they still finished last season 1st in DRtg and were pretty good even when Lebron or even Davis missed games. This year's team just doesn't seem to be nearly the same defensively. Ariza could help when he comes back. He's a 3&D wing.

Shaq and Allen lmao

No agenda here

Oh yeah, I forgot about Ariza. He's kind of washed too though.
