    I have a feeling this gets better once Rondo gets more established. He and AD had some nice connections last night. Once Bradley comes back the rotations become more defined with Rondo as the bench general and Bradley as the backcourt starting and closing defender at the one.

    Those net ratings aren't shocking to those who watch every game start to finish.
    Unless we add a dynamic scorer, our post LBJ era will not be a pretty one.

    Also Dwight should start unless we enjoy giving the other teams a headstart at the beginning of each game.

    I doubt though you will find many here on LB who watch games from beginning to end such as yourself.

    It's a fair retort, but a lot of people watch games in the background, multitasking, half attention on their devices and phones.

    Many can watch the games; usually, I miss a lot of technical aspects, which is why I rely heavily on Lakers Film Room or others who know the game a lot better than I do; or I like to find stats that support what I'm seeing on the basketball floor (or not)...

    None of us here watch any of the games. It's box scores and BSPN highlights only around LB. Why would I watch the games? Don't think I've seen a single one in my 40 plus years as a Laker fan.

    good thing scorers are a lot easier to find than 6’11” two-way generational talents, right? Especially ones that put up 25 a game despite their myriad limitations...

    Then you’ve no doubt missed that AD is nowhere near the player you thought he was? Probably.

    Some DHO to Lebron ( with AD involved in the action too) would be nice several times a game too . We ran it at Chicago.

    This is where we missed more players who can dribble/pass and read the opponent defense ...

    I think Green aka our best 3pts shooter needs to spend more time on the floor with our 2 best players too

    Green also needs more looks I believe in those minutes. He just isn't being used quite as much as I'd like to see given how good he is. Luckily his D has been quite effective. Just seems like he disappears offensively for long stretches and not due to anything on his end.

    He gets in foul trouble very early in the game at times, which may cause some of the early subs we have seen with him.

    Funny enough, there hasn't been a season he has averaged more than 30 mins a game.

    He's key, though.

    With AB out, he needs to play more. More Green, less Rondo.

    33 points in 35 minutes and 11 for 11 from the FT line, wow! I could really get used to this. Plus not one but two four plays tonight, LOL! Making those threes and ones!

    He is now our best scorer. 25.8.

    Now, he also happens to be our best rebounder, shot blocker and the best at stealing the ball.
