Sac Kings fans seem pretty hyped. That franchise never truly recovered from getting Tim Donaghy’d.

Now I believe those guys, especially DLO, are valuable to this team... But that game was about the "core" Lakers + Rui.

AD was getting absolutely demolished by KAT that game.. he needs to play much better in the Memphis series and needs to average 30/15 because he should.

I never take single +/- scores as a super heavy weighted stat, but over the course of a 10-20 game sample size it could be good. LeBron plays A LOT with the 2nd unit and they experiment a ton, mostly thinking about those horrific Wenyen min going against Towns.... God Darvin Ham is such a terrible coach sometimes... Regardless he had some costly turnovers which aren't normal, I think mostly due to fatigue since he played 45 min

I give every one of them a pass for their lackadaisical performance since this was their 8th game in 14 days. That's a ton. Thankfully over the next 14 days they only play 3, so they should all be well rested
I agree Beasley has disappeared, and Dlo has been nonexistent for a few games.. although yes, the players are good and they have really good chemistry. These upcoming games we're finally gonna see how they play together, i'm excited to see AD and Lebron ball tf out.

AD still had a very good game, i'd say he balled out in important times , but I agree that he needs to play better, these are the playoffs and we need the monster AD all of us has seen before. Memphis is going to be such a hard team and Lakers need their top two players hitting on all cylinders. I expect Lebron to be a bit better than he has been, he's been playing good but he does have those turnovers towards the end of the game. Lakers have so many players that Lebron should be able to rest more and not play more than 40.. but don't ask me what I should do that's for Ham


Originally Posted By BigDeeps01

I agree AD is just as important almost as Lebron but you need to cool it with the anti Lebron vitriol. He’s still the man on this team
it's not so much anti if it looks like that i'm sorry m8 but it's just what I see lol. It all started when I said Lebron needs to have less fuk ups and you got mad.. let me ask, don't you think he puts his team in a better position if he doesn't have all those turnovers? Am I lying when I say he does this chit? Some of these turnovers he commits are very careless.

You also said hes been carrying his team when Lakers did a fine job getting us some Ws without Lebron to get us to the playoffs. Cmon brah, criticism is fair tbh. I'm not saying lebron is pure doodoo, but actually stated something factual.. less turnovers, be smarter with the fking ball.



Good ass games today, Sacramento beating GS was dope. Knicks beating Cavs was cool to see.. new era of a more balanced NBA

Not gonna be shocked at all if Lakers come out with a L this game. This is a must win games for Memphis today, and LeBron has consistently lost Game 1's over the last few playoffs and they were able to counter whatever their opponent did

The Lakers can hang with any team in the league, their main concern will always be Day to Davis. Not just from a health standpoint, but also him reverting back to his old mental midget self at the wrong time.

This should have been an easy 30+ point performance from AD, against a Memphis team missing Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke.

Anyway, this team looks even better than the 2020 championship team imo. Their only flaw is length really. Everything else is there, shooting, playmaking, defense, bench.

Srs question, what is the Laker's weakness(es)?

We have good/elite defense at every position. We have good/elite offense at every position. We have an elite bench. Lebron alone has more playoff experience than just about every team. Darvin Ham takes so much crap from fans but he has done the best he can given the circumstance. We have size. We have multiple guys that can get hot from 3pt range on any night. This is a championship contending team.

We don't have much natural shooting talent but we do have the ability to get guys open looks thru Lebron/AD double teams. I believe in Rui/AR/DLO/Dennis/etc. Tonight it was Rui with the hot hand.

The Suns bench is non-existent. 6 points through 3 quarters of game 1 is just awful.

I like the matchup for the Lakers if they meet in the WCF. Lakers starting 5 is capable of matching the Suns' starting 5 production. Bench is where the scales tip heavily in favor of the Lakers.

Giannis, Morant and Herro all out in the first game of the first round. And even AD gave the entire Lakers nation a scare when he grabbed his shoulder.

Going to be another year where injuries destroy teams. Seems to happen every year lately. Was it last year that basically every team had at least one major starter out after the first round?

Yeah, these play-in and first round games have been a lot of fun, but the injuries are gonna wreck things. There's been a lot of talk on twitter about changing up the block/charge rules. I get it, and I don't want to see guys injured either. At the same time, people on twitter are saying "play defense, don't act like a traffic cone" and I'm thinking, if a guy beats you to a spot, and is acting like a traffic cone, you go around him. You can't get around a traffic cone that's on you. I really don't love charges, but a lot of these guys are driving in and just running guys over.
