AD NEED AN MD & LESS SCRUBS IN LA’S ANATOMY: THE 2021 LAKERS OFFSEASON THREAD

[Voice of Reason]

The lakers don’t need nun,monk, and THT.


They need to move them for a defender

 

[Lakerman0834]

why did we sign ellington?

 

[ALonelyDad]

I also blame him for not making everyone play. We have a brand new team and everyone sitting out. Only lebron is afforded that luxury the rest need to be on the court

Outside of Greg Popovich, no coach in the league would have that pull with top stars

 

[ShoryukenHaduken]

warriors also gonna shoot a shyt ton of threes so im not surprised were struggling to defend them

Vogel lost his authority when Pelinka/LeBron/AD promised that scrub Drummond a starting spot and minutes.

Dude got a shytty deal that Tyron Lue turned down and got a 1 year extension after winning a ring. That man is just filling the position lmao. People need to stop acting like he has any say

 

[HoldThisL]

Why tf is our offense looking like this? I know it is just preseason but it's looking like we literally gave up defense for nothing

I'm tired of seeing bricks

im sure after his operformance tonigh russ aint sitting no more

 

[ShoryukenHaduken]

How has Russ looked? I haven't been able to watch the game

looked like a guy forcing things as his first game with the lakers

he not the concern to me. The defense and Ad play are gonna be the biggest concerns

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

None of this shyt matters if AD isnt looking like Bubble AD and Bron isnt looking like he did before the ankle injury.

So just let it play out.

As far as Russ. He just needs to pick his spots, bring energy and only do heavy lifting if AD or Bron resting. I do agree Russ should have been playing more preseason games.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Hope so, he has to make the biggest adjustment..I just dont know how he will because he can not shoot and LeBron needs the ball in his hands.


Russ has also been very bad the 1st half of the season the last few years so that is something to look at.

 

[HoldThisL]

What is the startling lineup looking like for the beginning of the season? Who taking Ariza spot?

 

[Lakerman0834]

HBK imporessing with his Shot and defensive IQ

 

[CantStop]

Dwight has been solid.

If we're going to start a C next to AD, start Dwight. We need his activity.
