I still liked the Kuzma/THT pairing overall. I thought particularly in the second half (at least with Trae Young on the bench) they pushed the...
Second best +/- on the Lakers through this point in the season: he's amazing
Frustrating the offense bogs down at the end of games with him in there as well. I know Vogel practices patience and experimenting but at the end...
From the Lakers perspective trading him so they don't "lose" him doesn't make sense. -They are a team interested in winning now. I doubt unless...
No spacing is a big issue for him in the finishing lineup. Against the opposing teams best defenses schemes and best effort, this was a problem...
Him and his teammates need to let him cook. He had Theis switched onto I think two times before finally he just took him off the dribble for a...
Marc on the road against two elite teams now and he's looking washed. Love the guy and his game but his feet are just so slow right now. Never...
Yeah I thought he deserved to be in the finishing lineup. He plays well against the C Bags but not against the 76ers just like last year
Would be nice for the Lakers to have another big wing defender so poor Caruso is not going against the Tatums and Harris's of the world. The dude...
He has elite potential: he uses his wingspan to get his hands onto a lot of loose balls. Looks like he should be able to comfortably switch onto...
I'd rank them like this: I think Schroeder has been pretty good: he had a rough stretch but the last couple of games he's playing like he did in...
I agree with this as this rosters biggest weaknesses: Kuzma hasn't been able to progress from last years in terms of defense. Him being able to...
The whole article is great on why Vogel knows that these lineups suck but is willing to play them still:
https://www.ocregister.com/2021/01/29/making-sense-of-the-lakers-lineups-and-minutes-shuffle/ Basically any lineup with Kuzma and Matthews...
I think this only half the story. Yes I'd the bunnies went in it's a different game but one of the big reasons Detroit was able to keep it close....
Really? Rose waltzed into the lane and that allowed Ellington and even Blake to start going off. Rose is still good but can't have him and Plumlee...
Squad needs a rim protector besides AD. It's still a long season and getting home court is going to be tough. Gasol is really struggling on the...
He left the game with 5 minutes to go and Lakers down by 1. They lost the game by 15 lol. Saying he's a key player for the Lakers is an...
Matthews is really struggling. Really going to be hard to keep his minutes away from THT who keeps doing good stuff out there
Lakers need to be willing call his number when the shots aren't falling. Hes the one guy who can always create his shot so when Lebron doesn't...
