Can someone in the comments explain to me the importance of a 8-9 man rotation in a82 game season full of injury prone players. I feel like not playing the other guys on the roster hurts man than it helps
They also have one ramping up that is good on defense, he just can't do anything on offense. They only got him b.c. no one knew if he'd even be cleared to play (ever). Mostly there haven't been any good ones on the market for years that a team would be willing to give to the lakers for what the lakers could offer.
Yeah, definitely! The Lakers have the talent and depth, but they need to bring that consistent energy every game. It's like they show flashes of brilliance, then lose focus at times. Hopefully, they can tighten that up as the season progresses!
Here's the bottom line, all of us who have been following this team understood that the moment the summer went by without Pelinka making any changes, we knew this was going to happen. This is the same disappointing roster from last year. We had an opportunity to get buddy held and we didn't make the move, now look at what buddy Heild is doing in Golden State. They're most likely going to win the championship this year. We're literally playing Gabe Vince 20 minutes a night. He's not even an NBA level player he should be playing overseas. We got to trade dlo, trade Rui, Trade draft pics, And bring in some snipers who can shoot the basketball and some young athletic guys who can play defense and rebound. Period. If not, we'll be right back in the play-in as usual
They miss Taurean Prince big time... Can't believe Pelinka didnt think it fit to address this defensive issues with the team. There is no way w backcourt with Reaves and Dlo will stop anyone.
@@jayforte7601 Hes old but hes the best driver on transition that we have. If JJ put Cam the team solve the perimeter defense and win spacing on ofense.
@ yea transition… only way u can get in transition u have stop somebody … reeves and d-lo u can’t play both of them at the same time… on top of lebron bad defense…
LeBron played like he didn’t even want to be in that building. When he tossed the ball at half court and turned it over and didn’t care. I knew we weren’t gonna comeback and win🤦🏾♂️
I don’t think he should play Injured we always do this and he does score well but they school him on defense because he’s not fully willing to jump and make plays… u see guys clearly getting looks and AD just pretends he’s not responsible
Because it's the pistons. They know they can beat them. They rather save their effort for rivals that matter. Plus the league is promoting young teams. Building hope in the fan base. It's a strategic loss. Watch them beat the grizzlies. Smh
@jaycee3487 but they are standings competition. Pistons are still rebuilding. Not a playoff team. So lakers can afford to throw this game in order to help the league promote Detroit fan base hope. Which generates TV rating and profits. Grizzlies are a playoff team. The Lakers will show up or it's definitely a shit show in LA
Detroit could get to the basketball off dribble penetration whenever. D Lo and Reeves are pretty bad a defense and that’s are biggest issue. At this age Bron is still a better defender than both and he isn’t the best but he is smart and sound positionally more than they are. We need to take one of them out and start Dalton. We also need Vando back desperately. Gabe needs to be traded. Please come back Woods and Koloko so we can add more defensive length and versatility.
Inspite Lakers losses can someone please tell me what happened to Rui, and I need Coach to pull guys out that's not playing offense or defense, you have to give me one
Gotta have more intensity and purpose at start of game --- and whether AD hurt or not LEBRON N TEAM needs to stay positive and believe they can win. Bron is leader but always acts like if AD gone they cooked. Theres times LeBron dont play and they still compete n win. HAVE SAME MINDSET.
It only gets worse...over 5 years now???? Thank God for The Dodgers.....how long is it gonna take to have a decent team....too many poor decisions and those come back to haunt you. Front office🙄....players🙄....lbj😂🙄.....Lakersnation😢
Fire Pelinka. The guy has done nothing to improve the roster. LeBron offered to take a haircut on his salary and no one wants to play with him. They should offer Dwight Howard a contract.
AUSTIN "NO DEFENS" REAVES HAS A DEFENSIVE RATING OF 117.6. HE IS TERRIBLE DLOSER RUSSELL HAS A DEFENSIVE RATING OF 120. THIS IS THE WORST DEFENSIVE STARTING BACKCOURT IN NBA HISTORY
DLo starting was not the issue. DLO and AD, AR, and Cam were the only players tonight on both ends of the floor. From beginning to end. Everyone else didn’t provide anything to contribute but minutes
The real issue was Gabe and Cam playing over 15min and didnt take a single shot. Never seen anything like it. Only on Lebron teams. Its a scripted league. Scapegoats for bron in order to promote upcoming teams on the biggest stage. The lakers... Its a shit show at this point. WAtch them beat the grizzlies since they are standings competition
Why are yall showing the same clips, Reaves got his ass cooked the whole night. They can’t defend, they foul dam near on every possession and gets away with it, none of them are consistent shooters, and their bench sucks.
D-Low Plays with no confidence very passive as a man he defers to others look like he scared and he makes millions of dollars to do that at his size. Do you ever see him try to dunk the basketball😮 That’s sad as a basketball player They need to play the rookie more. He’s more aggressive than Dailo. And if you can’t defend them, play a zone They play so stupid Smdh Play Hayz more
Reeves a nice player. But it’s hard to like / respect a crybaby flopper is what he’s turned hisself into. He’s starting to act like the queen on their team entitled thinking he’s suppose to get foul calls when he’s flipping every chance he gets and running into people. He’s a horrible defender too
Trade vando for Marvin Bagley Trade max christie for kj martin Trade gabe Vincent for issac okoro. This will fix the 3 point shooting problems, defensive problems, and having an extra big on the roster problems. And bring D-Lo off the bench.

I completely agree
if the strat is to get AD to drop 35-40 every night then we're cooked :(
My exact thoughts. He’s gonna get injured tryna carry this team
Why they allergic to signing a center 😂
Just can't understand it
No Roster spots and just thousands under second apron
@@floridatorsbro know about aprons 😮

@@jamesmcluvlee bro is obsessed with diddy 😆
No rebounds, no wins.

Aside consistency if JJ only has Pan B strategy to use other players to step up maybe it chances are going well.
What depth what team are you watching
Boy dis team is ass 😂😂😂😂
Depth?

Here we go again in my dmx voice !! Lol my boy AD sound defeated smh cmon lakers !!
The Los Angeles LAZIES!
AD needs some help man. Dude looks fed up that he's the only laker going for rebounds getting beat tf up. Vando couldn't come back sooner.
They miss Taurean Prince big time... Can't believe Pelinka didnt think it fit to address this defensive issues with the team. There is no way w backcourt with Reaves and Dlo will stop anyone.
If they missed him they would if resigned him
@@jaycee3487cap lol
A.D HURT HERE WE GO !!!!!!!!!
Not surprised the way he carrying the team on both sides of the court. I’d be hurting too! You go out there and try it. Can tell you’re a house boy
@@jamesmcluvleefacts
Coach JJ REDICK what's been happening to you???😮
AD is tired mane! Get this man some help other then AR and LeBron
One would think its 1 week before the playoffs start and the lakers are the 10th seed watchin this
Just let Lebron play the point guard and Dlo put him on the bench and start Reddish for more defense and spacing
Lebron can’t push pace to run point for 4 qtrs
Too old need to take a backseat …become a 3rd option til fourth qtr…
@@jayforte7601 Hes old but hes the best driver on transition that we have. If JJ put Cam the team solve the perimeter defense and win spacing on ofense.
@ yea transition… only way u can get in transition u have stop somebody … reeves and d-lo u can’t play both of them at the same time… on top of lebron bad defense…
Can reddish can’t shoot where the space
Feels like 2004 all over again. Pistons OWN the lakers. Beat them everytime in the finals
Give Bron a break. He had heartburn two days ago.
My team is really trash right now we need to do better on defense
Games like this are the reason no star players have come to the Lakers since Anthony Davis. No heart, no effort, no pride...
you mean like Kawhi and paul george lol
LeBron straight trash on defense. Davis needs to stop throwing himself in the ground and exaggerating the contact
Yea man I heard he was bad
I didn’t get a chance to watch bcuz I had work
Lebron scared of Stewart in Detroit watch in LA he bust his ass
Ok so dlo and AR have been locked down defenders huh
He said LeBron genius😂😂😂😂@@dwaynebeamon5105
LeBron played like he didn’t even want to be in that building. When he tossed the ball at half court and turned it over and didn’t care. I knew we weren’t gonna comeback and win🤦🏾♂️
I don’t think he should play Injured we always do this and he does score well but they school him on defense because he’s not fully willing to jump and make plays… u see guys clearly getting looks and AD just pretends he’s not responsible
Lebron is playing like he been at Diddys Party all night
Still remember where the scoring low points Go cavs no rubber shot Glass 🍷 please
They literally had zero interest in playing they were lacy disinterested no urgency never seen anything like it
Because it's the pistons. They know they can beat them. They rather save their effort for rivals that matter. Plus the league is promoting young teams. Building hope in the fan base. It's a strategic loss. Watch them beat the grizzlies. Smh

@@FulanoJM100%
@@FulanoJM you’re in big denial bub
Trade Vando, Hayes, reddish, Vincent or waive them 😂 we need a rebounder. Sign Dwight Howard.

LeBron is worse and it's not close ...He don't even attempt to play D
@@jakeequality8065this cap dlo n reeves are horrible and they actually try lol
@@MrDuckman0852 if you watch the games you'd see Lebron doesn't even try on defense, it's basically a 4 v 5 if he's on the court lmaooo
Bronny can do more than this bench
Bron old now 😞 before you go off, I’m talking the consistency with his stamina to go off all game is done and it’s sad 😩 still top 4 lol
Inspite Lakers losses can someone please tell me what happened to Rui, and I need Coach to pull guys out that's not playing offense or defense, you have to give me one
Put bronny at point
JJ is not a good coach... He is just another LeBron lap dog.....The Lakers will be bad as long as an old guy plays 35 minutes of zero defense
@jakeequality8065 it's been 7 games. Not his fault the bench is awful and their performance last night. He's made ad the focus not lebron
The defense is bad collectively
They need Bronny in the starting lineup...cmon man!!!! 😆
Glass Davis injured again?
It’s like them the lakers don’t get 40+ fts they lose😂😂
Reporters ask some the lamest questions
Same problem Lakers have every year the bench is pathetic they combined for 10 points
The Lakers are cooked.

That loss should count as 2 losses. How do you let the Pistons beat you. Shameful to say the least.
Fire Pelinka. The guy has done nothing to improve the roster. LeBron offered to take a haircut on his salary and no one wants to play with him. They should offer Dwight Howard a contract.
Useless bench
AD come to warriors well get you a chip
Embarrassing zero effort
Mfs got beat by the 2-5 pistons lmao the hype train has ran right off the rails 😂
If ad had a aggressive side on on some Shaq shit man dude a be a problem he really Dat I just think AD play soft
The Lakers are either cooked or they're just not good at all.
AUSTIN
"NO DEFENS" REAVES HAS A DEFENSIVE RATING OF 117.6. HE IS TERRIBLE
DLOSER RUSSELL HAS A DEFENSIVE RATING OF 120.
THIS IS THE WORST DEFENSIVE STARTING BACKCOURT IN NBA HISTORY
I feel like they need to switch Dlo to the bench and have dalton start in his position
DLo starting was not the issue.
DLO and AD, AR, and Cam were the only players tonight on both ends of the floor. From beginning to end. Everyone else didn’t provide anything to contribute but minutes
FML…..AD is embarrassingly soft AF. Get him & LeBischhh off this team so I can start supporting them again 😤😤😤
Without them the team dies

Bro what ? The grizzlies are gonna demolish the lakers , heck the nets are better than this current lakers team
@@jaycee3487 Watch.
@jaycee3487 how did the lakers beat playoff caliber teams to start and nets havent?
@floridators exactly. Yet watch the nets beat the Lakers in their match up. Just to promote Brooklyn fan base ego.
@@FulanoJM don't know what crazy conspiracy theories you're into but keep going sir
Bloody hell. AR get in the gym and start lifting dude. You are a flat out embarrasment on defense along with DLo
Hamm would never lose to pistons
Jon?
Except he would lose to every other team
The Lakers stink and have no talent and bench is worst in league what are you talking about
Who? Hello Ej
I gotta agree, they might is well should just sign & play you that’s how they looking anyway
Boy, booooo, stop yelling!
Why are yall showing the same clips, Reaves got his ass cooked the whole night. They can’t defend, they foul dam near on every possession and gets away with it, none of them are consistent shooters, and their bench sucks.
Winning to much was to good to be true they are so trash 🤦🏻♂️now Glass man back to he’s habits 😂😂😂
mediocre team with no bench.
D-Low Plays with no confidence very passive as a man he defers to others look like he scared and he makes millions of dollars to do that at his size. Do you ever see him try to dunk the basketball😮
That’s sad as a basketball player
They need to play the rookie more. He’s more aggressive than Dailo.
And if you can’t defend them, play a zone
They play so stupid
Smdh
Play Hayz more
JJ Reddick is a disaster
Reeves a nice player. But it’s hard to like / respect a crybaby flopper is what he’s turned hisself into. He’s starting to act like the queen on their team entitled thinking he’s suppose to get foul calls when he’s flipping every chance he gets and running into people. He’s a horrible defender too
Trade vando for Marvin Bagley
Trade max christie for kj martin
Trade gabe Vincent for issac okoro. This will fix the 3 point shooting problems, defensive problems, and having an extra big on the roster problems. And bring D-Lo off the bench.
WORST BENCH
Why is he eating .. like he couldn't wait?
