Their record after benching Prince for Rui is what matters. It was one of the best records. Still, on a real title team, Reaves would be coming off of the bench.
Their lack of consistency seemed to be a lack of trust in the coaching. Darvin was a decent coach. He favored players that weren’t consistent and teammates get discouraged after awhile. I don’t think he used the ammunition he had on the team to the fullest. Will JJ be any better? IDK 🤷 but i respect his i don’t take no $hitt resting face lol. Darvin felt like a substitute teacher, JJ feels more like the Principal (No disrespect to Ham). I guess we are soon to see what happens.
Lakers had a Good Roster but their Weak Link is a Coach whose Inexperience cost them too many avoidable losses. Snatching Losses from the Jaws of Victory had been their Trademark
If JJ is such a good coach he would put Bronny at the 1 in summer league which is his position when he plays let him handle tbe balls make plays fir others that will be his best development
Missing their best perimeter defender all season then their 2nd best perimeter defender Cam reddish at the end of the season clearly hurt them, also C Wood who has length, blocks shots, and spaces the floor showed.. They may have the same team to start the season but it will feel like they have more help and JJ will probably give them an actual offense so 🤷♂️ we shall see
@justthisguy1948 they make the playoffs... remember when everyone said they wouldn't even make the play in and post more about okc? Who went to the wcf and who was bounced early? Lmao I don't do the hater stuff man, I call things how I see it. No they are not a championship team, but they are capable of knocking a lot of higher seed teams not named the Nuggets out 🤣
They aren’t going to run a legitimate offense with LeBron. LeBron has only ever played the LeBron James system. Just stop, it’s ridiculous. He’s supposed to have been playing off the ball for the past 6 years
@@justthisguy1948 They literally have an MVP-level talent in SGA and three top players in J-Dub and Chet, elite perimeter defenders in Caruso and Lu Dort, a trigger-happy bench with Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, Cason Wallace, and Kenrich Williams, and one of the best backup centers around in I-Hart. They are doing a lot more with a lot more than the Lakers goofy
This team will crumble under the bright lights sorry laker nation but if no changes are made a play in team at best they barely got in this past season 😅
This team is FINE. yes I would like a trade but if not oh well. Our TEO BEST PERIMETER DEFENDERS WERE INJURED! keep them healthy give all of cams minutes to max Christie and if JJ turns out to be a good coach we're a 55 win team with that alone. Keep gave and vando healthy, give cams minutes to max and pray JJ is good at his job and WERE FINE
We are a PLAYOFFS team. We have always been a top 8 team at worst every since the creation of the play-in (outside of the Westbrook season where we didnt even make the play-in). The narrative that the Lakers are a play-in team needs to stop. Even if the play-in was not created, we would have been in the playoffs almost every single year
