@RajChipalu Look at that paint fucking hell. Luka’s just lazing off ball taking one defender with him. All the other 4 are looking to contain the drive lol

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@Tim_NBA Dunno if the players have low IQ or the coaching is this bad
Horrible offense where Luka or AR have to be superhuman to get to amazing results

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@vkillem The schemes and plays are killing Lakers, look at the paint😭
Playing simple 5 out would yield better results lol
Also, expecting Luka to be efficient when the best shot he has available is a difficult midrange😐

[Vinay K. @vinaykillawala]

thats right, the only reason he passed this to "29% from 3 for his career" jarred vanderbilt is cause he wanted the assist 😂

@forumbluegold Bron was half asleep today😭

@degrandsreves @Tim_NBA Denver’s a great reference, that’s why they’re a great defense though Jokic is poor defensively

[SJ @SJBasketball8]

just my opinion that doesn’t matter but i really don’t like his energy as a coach lol

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@Paradox_EP @Tim_NBA The problem is gets those difficult offensive rebounds but gives up half of the defensive ones because of not boxing out

[Cranjis McBasketball @Tim_NBA]

I'll be interested to see what changes we get moving forward from LA, given:

LeBron's rotational and box out failures are a key issue.

Luka's lack of containment is a key issue.

Vando, the guy they bring in to be the defense guy, boxes out the least of anyone.

[Raj C. @RajChipalu]

Lakers gave up a ton of easy switches. Houston did not earn this switch. Jabari Smith doesn't even set a screen. Then the over help on one pass away to a good shooter.

[Cranjis McBasketball @Tim_NBA]

That's how they coach it. I don't like it. Make offenses work to earn switches.

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@SJBasketball8 He’s a shite coach.
No offensive structure or plays. Keeps deferring to Luka and Bron
Defense is even worse - letting your best player go 1v1 against the best offensive player on the other team without trying to hedge, pre-screen or some other pre-emption

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@SJBasketball8 The whole Lakers team is so dysfunctional. He’s more of a passing lane disruptor, someone who can guard 2s and 3s, but is made to be a PoA defender on this team

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@Tim_NBA JJ just seems way over his head at this point

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

If you have this take after watching the Rockets game, maybe you’re just biased lol
Having said that Luka needs to stop taking those damn 3s

[Jason Timpf @_JasonLT]

A good chunk of the Lakers’ issues lately come down to Luka just not playing very well.

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@Tim_NBA What are the adjustments needed?

[X Y @XYZ00991122]

@iztok_franko Got it, thank you so much!!

[nyla @nylaabell]

But on a serious note, that Lakers roster has a bottom of the league supporting cast. It’s easier to blame 77 when the bench is consistently outmatched every night
