If im ham, tonight is where I start tapering lbj’s minutes down. Try to get him around 30 for the whole game, too many times I’ve seen him be at 38 by the end of the game lol
You'll hate me but maybe it's time to make LBJ a start on the bench and finish the game guy. That would give a new dynamic to this Lakers team. Maybe...
Clearly show you don't know sht. LeBron is still the most Consistent player in the Lakers Roster. All the dudes that you named has more vulnerability to having an Off-night. Even AD has a tendency to have a less than 15 points game like a baby.
@@hangglider15 he's "supposed" to be the 3rd or 4th option at 40 years old. But unfortunately he has to be the best player on this team if the lakers want a chance to win anything
@@ZCrimsonIX The Lakers play with better pace, better ball movement, and better play movement when Lebron is out. Everybody shares the ball, and you can tell that guys feel confident even when they miss a shot, bc they know eventually they'll get opportunities as long as they're playing the right way. Couple this with their increase defensive intensity, the team becomes very resilient. When Lebron is playing, the ball movement stops, guys get confused about where they're supposed to go, and they also seem confused their roles as in whether they should handle the ball or just spot up, and if Lebron isn't hitting his shots or getting calls, he'll stand around frustrated not getting back on defense, giving minimum effort on the occasion that he does get back, then come right back on offense and hold the ball for for 20 seconds just to give it up to a teammate for a bad contested shot, then get mad when his teammate misses, and the cycle continues. When things aren't going his way he just kinda gives up on the game. If Lebron would just play within the flow of the offense, let the young guys play with pace, then get the occasional isolation post up when appropriate, the Lakers would have the best of both worlds. But as it stands, Lebron's success is coming at the expense of his teammates. Not saying that the Lakers are better without Lebron, but I'm saying that the Lakers need Lebron to play within the offense, and stop all his ball stopping ways. Yes, even if he ends up with an assist, even if he makes great reads and executes great passes, he can be a ball stopper. RE: Rajon Rondo
yea but that doesnt mean the bucks didn't choke, yall had the lead, and if anything u missed 6 free throws of 17 you had, whereas lakers made 30 of 32. we had no lebron too so count that in your "differential". Just admit you guys suck under doc and need major changes if you wanna make a push for the chip
Y’all are just a bunch of casual, the Lakers freethrow differential is due to the fact that 1 - They score most of their points in the paint/at the rim, not only by driving to the rim but also in the post, finishing lobs, offensive rebounds put back or cutting to the rim, and 2- Because they don’t foul, AD and Bron are 2 of the most disciplined and experienced defenders, and even guys like Reaves or D-Lo are high IQ players. So what happens when you get a lot of fouls called but you don’t foul your opponents ? A big freethrow diffrential, if the NBA really wanted the Lakers to be in the Playoffs and win the title believe me they could do it and the Lakers wouldn’t be 9th in the league, ignorant casual im tired to have to educate you everytime 😪
Lebron's calls are the only questionable calls, officials give him the heavy benefit of the doubt. But still, this narrative that the Lakers get every single call just doesn't make any sense, like I've watched them all season, and they have games that they can't seem to get a single call, then they have games where they get a ton of calls, and games in between. This happens for every single team, sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don't, but whenever things go the Lakers' way, everybody acts like its always like that all the time
@@TaylorMade223 But im a Basketball fan before everything else and i would say the same thing if it was the Wolves, OKC, the Bucks or Sixers with Embiid, in fact im sure they also have a big freethrow differential because they have players who score a lot of their points at the rim and get a lot of Freethrows (SGA, ANT, KAT, Giannis, Dame, Embiid and Maxey), and they also have big Frontcourt with elite rim protector and great disciplined defenders(Gobert, KAT and McDaniels, Chet and J.Dub, Brook Lopez, Giannis and Middleton, Embiid and Batum …), so not only teams will not attack the rim as much against them, but when they do they will be meet by giants athletic guys who can block, alter or contest their shots without fouling. I don’t have the stats but i wouldn’t be surprised if these teams have big freethrow differential, and the Spurs will soon be there too with Wemby who literally averaged more blocks than fouls …
Boston's season "ended" 2 days ago when they blew a 30 point lead, but when the bucks choke an arguably more significant lead its "oh never count out the bucks they looked so good before they blew that giant lead!" Fucking comical how stupid that logic is.
@@uwannasee_greatnessBecause one of them was in 30 minutes and the other was in 8. If the bucks kept on their trajectory in the 4th theyd have blown as much as a 60 point lead. Also ESPN's win percentage had the bucks' at 99.8 and the celtics' at only 99.5 so by both metrics 19 was worse in the 4th.
@@slugintub312Nah, thats because the BUCKS already won a chip with Giannis, Middleton and Brook Lopez, that’s why you don’t count them out, same for the Lakers we know when Bron and AD are healthy and play aggressive and they have good shooters around them they can beat any teams, and it’s also the same for the Warriors, even if their core is on the decline they are still a dangerous team because of their experience
@@Anthonydu01630Okay? They also won with Jrue holiday who is on the celtics last I checked and not Dame. These teams are 3+ years removed from a chip and totally different. That excuse goes for denver and only denver. Also regardless of the players, a collapse up 20 with 7 minutes left is horrible for any team so why doesn't their season get declared over like Boston's did? Again remember the celtics have the 1 seed locked and are 57-15 while the bucks could be anywhere from 2-4...
How many Laker games did you watch this year? I'd bet good money that you only see the headlines saying this and that about the Lakers and their freethrow attempts, and watch the occasional highlight video and assume it's true. Casual behavior
I stopped watching those games mostly now, because the blatant mix of not calling charging against the lakers & calling the slightest touches, looks even, against their defenders makes it unwatchable. I really liked the NBA more, before I could afford League Pass.
Adam “peanuthead” Silver is going to help LeBum once again. The free throw differential over the last two years is Lakers +1060 and number two NY +350. Now tell me this is not fixed? Its sickening the reason I stopped watching this crap
Even tho they only 3rd in free throws per game whilst being 2nd in points in the paint? They don't even have a player in the top 10 in free throws per game?
@Titch-de2re you clearly can't read... FT DIFFERENTIAL, which is a team stat. Don't try and move the goalposts. The refs have been favoring the Lakers all season, it is beyond obvious watching their games and the stats back it up, massively.
@@DoodMayne but if the ft differential was that bad every game, they'd be leading the league, which they aren't. My point is that over the course of the season, teams like Orlando and Milwaukee attack the paint less on average, but shoot more free throws than LA, and I've not heard a single person complain about them all season. Its glaringly obvious from watching games that the Lakers like to score in the paint, and the numbers back it, so obviously they are going to shoot a lot of free throws, they are also a solid squad at defending the interior, so obviously their opponents won't shoot a lot of free throws, which leads to a considerable ft differential. It really isn't rocket science! 🤣
@Titch-de2re your first sentence was all I read cause it was very clear you still don't know what you're talking about. The refs could be blowing the whistle in favor for Lakers, lets say slightly above league average, and not blowing the whistle at all or minimally, let's same below league average for their opponents. To casuals and low iq people like yourself, you would say, " but hur dur, Lakers aren't leading league in FTs so the refs aren't favoring them, hur dur", with drool running down your chin. While people with an average iq would be able to look and see the FT DIFFERENTIAL, regardless of how many FTs Lakers are getting, and see the refs are not blowing the whistle for their opponents and are blowing the whistle in favor of the Lakers games after game over the course of a season. I knew you were not bright, but I still underestimated just how low your iq is. I really doubt you'll even understand what I wrote and will continue looking stoopid to anyone who knows even basics of math and statistics.

34 free throws

Ngl this would be a good move but what would happen when the playoffs start
As a lakers fan don’t you dare jinx us it was a great game but then title is too much calm down
You meant Doc Rivers saved their season. Epic collapse from a 16 pt lead at half time again.
Talk about the mavs
Austin, dlo, & Rui need to make this THEIR team. AD is defense. Lbj is supposed to be 3/4 option at this age.
Casual 😭
Lebron is averaging 25ppg what kind of 4th option is doing that

Lmfao the refs let them get away with so many fouls but no one will talk about that
No sustainable. When LeOldGuy comes back they won’t play the same.
You’re joking right? Look at the free throw differential!
I didn't even check that being a bucks fan we get a pretty friendly whistle for giannis but I'm gonna go check it out now 😂😅
@@jayjolley9258 exactly, they’re all box score watchers, they don’t watch the game.
Milwaukee literally shoot more free throws per game than LA this season! 🤣😭

more the refs saved their season - 40 ft`s again - no lakers win without the double amount of free throws for them
The real question is can he do this vs the nuggets? Cuz vs them AD tends to vanish 😂
dont forget the kings lol. lakers would hate to play either of them in the playoffs, let alone first round or play in
AD gets manhandled by Sabonis.
7 games changes alot and ad can turn up for a game or 2 but come on he's designed for injury when needed most lol but well see I guess
