Hey, what happened with the Lakers last night?

[Airupthere]

Why is Montrezl Harrell playing much worse this year? His numbers are way down.

It's always just the teammates at fault. Same pattern is selfevident. Teammates just get worse over time.

The Lakers aren't running an offense system, they are running ISO ball with no movement cutting passing no type of system everyone attacks then kicks it out to the three point line, this stops flow; scoring then shots are missed, or someone takes bad shots, they also don't have no inside rim protection whatsoever, unlike last year they are to small on the inside can't rebound, last years team had inside defense with rim protection; rebounding this killed other teams then in the playoffs they ran an offensive system getting easy baskets; played incredible defense on the outside because their inside defense was incredible having two shot blockers nobodies scoring on the inside, but this years team everyone is scoring on the inside 30 points or more, until they get a center or to that can defend; rebound they will struggle against everyone, even getting blown out, hopefully teams wave certain players centers that play defense otherwise the Lakers are like last years Clippers; can be upset by other teams with slashing point guards; inside scoring tough centers, they should've kept their centers.

actually no - its a fact that they need AD and schroder.


AD is a top 3 player in the league and schroder is crucial because even if he's missing shots he'll still make kyrie and the nets work.

yeah they took a big L letting both mcgee and dwight walk. should've kept one of the two. gasol should've retired last year.

Jeez, we lost ONE game being shorthanded missing two big contributors in AD and Schroeder to a team that had a particularly hot shooting night and now everyone is going into existential crisis mode : What is it with sports fans and inability to control their emotions. This loss means nothing.

they were missing their best player

Lakers will be fine. But some narratives will be damaged badly.

All of the teams this year are feasting on the Lakers scoring on the inside something last years Lakers shut down, these teams had to beat the Lakers by outside shooting; the Lakers size would stop their outside attack with James; Davis helping with outside defense, while Howard; Magee protected the rim, hopefully teams wave Magee; Howard this year, or somebody else, if their contracts allow it, otherwise the Lakers are at a disadvantage being without rim protection; rebounding.

It was just a normal lebron night...

Without top tier help, he padded stats, pounded the rock, made his team mates worse and got blown out
