WMC 24-25: What To WMC About Now? PLAYOFF TIME!

went to bed before game even started last night. wake up to headline: "lakers rally to beat short-handed grizzlies". i'm like, oh, i guess morant or JJJ were out?

this line in the recap: The Grizzlies were missing six players, including Zach Edey.

oh, yeah, who were the other five? name them! it wasn't coward or wells, their two-next best players. nor aldama, their next best player after that.

but we were without two starters, one of whom is an allstar and better than basically all grizzlies players.

who's writing this?

 

Barely won. Slackers.

 

Sorry, should have destroyed them. We barely win when we win, but when we lose, it’s by 10+. It’s crazy.

 

well, he's been contributing heavily to the low 3p%, but yeah, you build around luka with athletic defenders. that's not what we have.

 

lol, just saw we have atl in a b2b tomorrow. yikes.

 

Yeah. This was a favorable schedule and we’re getting our butts kicked. Not good.

 

This team has recently been playing some of the ugliest, most inefficient and disinterested BB I have witnessed in my life. Serriously, just tough to watch. I hope they dig out of this collective slump sooner rather than later, but I have very little hope right now.

 

Out rebounded by 15 rebounds........................... yep, that will do it every time.

Won't even mention the defense.

 

most of our defensive problems are personnel, but some of it is coaching. if you don't have the personnel to switch things, stop switching things. if you feel like none of your players can navigate a screen, then you can hedge or trap and recover.

anyway, i don't think the defense is fixable in the short-term, so when AR or luka is out, we're going to lose a lot.

 

gs kills charlotte. lamelo 1-8 from three. 5-17 from the floor.

 

Yes , Lakers should be tied with SAS in the loss column right now .
