The question is, do they understand their vulnerability but are simply unable to improve; or is it that defensive drills are off the table altogether? This squad needs to talk about defense openly and analyze how they got here. The lack of progress is bewildering.
The oldest team in NBA history all season have been out-hustled by younger, quicker teams. Against the Pelicans the Lakers were so slow . . .outrebounded 51 to 38, steals 16 to 8, fast break points 26 to 12. LeBron and Westbrook had 7 turnovers totaling 14 turnovers. Lakers once again shot poorly from 3-pointers (20% as a team). LeBron has shot poorly from 3-pointers all of February: Feb 5 Knicks 2 for 7, Feb 12 Warriors 3 for 10, Feb 25 Clippers 2 for 8, Feb 28 Pelicans 1 for 4
Honestly, Lebron has reached amazing statistic achievements in this league, and that run to the title with Cleveland is definitly for the ages, but looking at the way he plays or played in the past, everybody should clearly stop with thos G.O.A.T. conversations. Even if the worst years of the Lakers, Kobe was showing more team and fighting spirits than him, and we are not even starting to talk about Michael Jordan (even in his 40 years-old Wizard years). He is a clear HOFer, a precocity & longevity (!!!) phenomenom, a stat monster (same way Russ is) and clearly unique, but nonetheless never ever the GOAT in this game.
Kobe showed spirit in the years before pau got there? Or when he decided not to shoot for whatever reason? The greats never do well or show spirit when they are on loosing teams. Hell I'm proud bron not in the media calling guys out like Jordan would be doing and Kobe as well. We have flawed perception for ppl we do like n don't like. We forget what we want about certain ppl and remember what we want.
@@kendogder5287 preach. I love Kobe and all, but the Lakers were a tough watch with Kobe keeping them hostage for a couple of seasons. The second ppl retire you tend to forget the negative things and hang on to all the good stuff.
Stop with your shit goat discusion MJ bulls got no chance against a top team right now MJ the goat who can t fucking shoot a 3s . This is bull shit the goat does not exist all area are différent
Who tf are you to judge about lebron james and his leadership ??? Thats your opinion but i fell like everybodys talking like they know about everything
@@stevenkoja5 Dude, Lebron is THE worst defender in the league right now... he doesn't even move towards defenders and leaves all his teammates vulnerable cause he never switches on defense... also, when Bron was off the court the Lakers were shrinking the difference and were playing something closer to the sport of basketball... Lebron is a stat padding diva and a disgrace to the top 10 all time list... no other player in that list was stroking his cock while the opposing team was embarrassing him scoring 3 million points... pathetic loser...
Lakers should shut it down for the rest of the season. play the rookies and the bench guys, everybody else sit out the rest of the season. at least with the bench guys on the court we would have a good excuse
It's time the Lakers start tanking for a next season draft pick. We all know this team ain't winning shit this year. In fact, I don't see them even making the play-in games.
I don't care if LBJ is the king of basketball, the dude needs to start moving his legs on the help D as well as communicating the man switch on D. You just can't stand around looking like you are absent-minded on the court. As much as he is explosive on the offence, we need to see you be ten times aggressive on the D.
He doesn't help the offense either... he literally takes the ball off his teammates hands and pads his stats... Lebron's teams never had good ball movement... Lebron has been making his legacy by stepping on the bodies of his teammates for years and years... all he does is iso and pass for assists while also walking around on defense... Lakers should sue him for not honoring his contract... he was supposed to PLAY BASKETBALL... not just make money...
think about what we could have today without LBJ. Both Ball brothers, kyle kozma... and lots of future prospects. And what do we have - the absolute discontinued models, seniors with weak characters! please restart immediately.
This Laker team, worst team. Cannot narrow down shooter, cannot hang in when the other team are switching, no intensity, no good marking, no team spirit, no direct directions... How bad must the coach/players be?
This team is pure ass cheeks, Lord knows what they'll do in the off season. Hardly any assets to trade, no draft picks, they better pray they can attract some names in the free market.
WTF Lakers? Do you have sth else than resignation to show....?! Come on boys, not with this legendary rooster, get your sh** together, it's unacceptable!!!
Lebron James is the most overrated « leader » of all time Always bitching at his teammates almost at Every play, even when he is the one not doing the rotation, the box out, in other words the effort on defense. Quit his teams every time it gets difficult to join a superteam, trade his teammates without a second thought Everybody is shouting « wow look at his stats at 37 years old » Yeah ! He only play on offense ! Literally, he gets blown by everybody ! He doesn’t box out, and he whines all the time like it’s not his fault
Have you checked the scoreboard? Of course James will be pissed at his teammates if they cannot convert a single shot! James had 32 pts, 12 reb and 3 ast what do you expect him to do? The Lakers made 8/34 three pointers and they simply just cannot convert. Westbrook's shooting was 5/15, totally awful but still scored 16, Anthony made 13 somehow but all the other players barely even scored at least 5 points! This is terrible to witness and get along with. This man is 37 years old. I think you as an team leader expect the young core to play efficiently and at least give everything they got. It is not normal that a 37 year old man has to score 1/3 of the complete team score in order to even compete with the opposing team.
@@Alboshiro it would be better if ge give more effort on the defense take more care of the ball and don't blame his teammates when he missed rotation or be just a stature. HE should be the leader but plays like a 3yr old kid that want all attention and get whiney when he don't get what he wants. Without Lebron the Lakers looked better as a team.
@@kimtaphorn9175 I honestly do not understand why people constantly look for Lebron to take the blame on the Lakers losses and misfortunate games when it's obviously the whole team not working properly. Why would people blame Lebron only? Just for an example: Westbrook had 8 turnovers that game. If people start blaming him only when he is the one who is putting up the effort (at least offensively), it should at least be justified. Yes his defense is a liability at some point, but this is a result of the team not working together. FYI: The Lakers won the title 2 years ago and I am pretty sure that they wouldn't have won it without Lebron.
@@Alboshiro 2020 without a doubt, but I hate the Westbrook slander when it is obvious that lebron created the whole situation and don't really play better than Westbrook. And don't be blind sided by his stats
@@kimtaphorn9175 You are right for sure. It's not only Westbrook slander, actually it's team slander or at least should be. Everybody is missing their tasks and roles within the team. That's the problem. Really unfortunate, it hurts watching the Lakers games or highlights. I used to watch the whole games but lost the excitement due to this bs.
Well, more of the same: some Lakers who are sad! Let's hope it's not even enough for the "play-in" because it will perpetuate his painful season! Missing too many defensive elements!!! .... And LBJ is still very good on offense but very poor on defense; it's too boring playing in position 5 of the 'Centre'; Too bad, defensively LBJ NO longer has anything xPPP
