Warriors without Steph, Draymond, and Iggy were able to beat down Detroit for most of that game on the second of a back-to-back and 3rd game in 4 days of a road trip, but a Lakers squad with Lebron, Russ, and AD are having issues in the first half?

Defensive intensity.

That's mainly what it is.

I said during the preseason that because regular season wins are built on effort, and because the Lakers are one of the oldest teams, ever, and have a number of players with bad defensive habits, it's going to be hard to generate wins. That's why they've been losing to lesser talented teams. They're going to be giving up that element of the game against nearly every single opponent.

Dumbass nxggas overreacted to a handful of games. The first games of his career when he didn't even have a proper preseason.

He has it. You could see it at Oklahoma State; he makes shyt happen, isn't afraid of the moment, and is incredibly skilled. Once he gets his weight up, it'll be a wrap. Folks talking about how Detroit should've drafted Jalen, who granted, might be a better pure scorer, but he ain't a franchise-changing piece like Cade is.

Shortsighted individuals couldn't see big picture beyond highlight dunks. Cade is a floor raiser for a team and franchise. He does too many things week besides just scoring that will impact winning.
