4-9 on FTA as well. Usually he gets either his 3 pointer or FT to fall. Both were dogshit today. What happened?

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

39 | 4 hours ago

His eye was fucked up because it got poked early in the game. I didn’t think it was that bad, but you could still see the redness and puffiness in the 4th quarter in the closeup of him, so I think it did actually mess up his shot

Less-Tax5637 | Knicks

Alright that makes more sense. I know he’s changed over time due to athleticism going down from injuries and sweet tea, but this seemed almost like a personality change or some shit. Eye injury explains a night like this

It didn’t even look like there was a play other than pass to Luka, so I’m wondering what the hell JJ even did during the timeout

loyola-atherton | Lakers

5 | 4 hours ago

I am just mad that JJ and team opted for Hail Mary 3 shot when all we needed was two points. Guess who has been doing pretty well this game on the inside? Ayton. And after that hot half, they stopped feeding him. Refs were whistle friendly in the final quarter too.

It frustrates me when teams go for the 3 when you could opt for a 2. Even more frustrating when it comes from my team.

theuncleiroh | Raptors

3 | 5 hours ago

Gotta also mention LeBron going to the line up 1, splitting, and then losing by 1.

He makes that FT and they’re playing with house money on that last possession, worst case they go to OT. Instead he misses, they’re playing from behind, and end up with that disaster of a final play where absolutely nothing happened as it needed to

bigtice | Rockets

6 | 4 hours ago

Sure, but he also made the right cut and scored on the inbound from Luka to put them up on a previous possession – LeBron missed that one free throw while Luka missed 5 of his 9.

There’s blame to go around as they simply didn’t execute on either end on the final possessions to get a stop or to score.

dL_EVO | Warriors

3 | 4 hours ago

I think Luka taking the 3 was not the play. I need to rewatch it, but maybe someone on the Lakers messed up or Magic blew up the play which caused Luka to hesitate and allow the defense to catch up.

But, I do agree with you, he shoulda just launched it.

BelonyInMyLeftPocket | Nets

--Alix-- | Mavericks

I still think Ayton was supposed to roll and it would be a straight dime into the paint instead of a 3 point shot.

But Ayton didn’t move which is why Luka picked up the dribble and got stuck.

GotAQ4UMyGuy

46 | 5 hours ago

Honestly have no idea how this happens week after week.

Every single game of the Laker’s I’ve seen has Ayton refusing to roll. Refusing to box out.

Even if the coaches don’t call it out for some reason, every single person has to be seeing it during film review. It makes no sense.

Roll. Luka will find you. It’s not that complicated.

Riles4prez | Suns

GotAQ4UMyGuy

He doesn’t pop well either. But you know that I’m sure. His feel for the rhythm of the team is simply awful.

It’s a testament to Book that he made games with Ayton watchable.

SevereBet6785

I think the play was for Ayton to roll which would’ve given Luka some space from Banchero to get a shot off, or pass it to the roller. But for some reason the big didn’t do it, the perimeter got congested, Luka hesitated and threw Bron a grenade.

Tbh this typa fucking up is expected from a high school team, not an NBA franchise, especially a team coached by super tactical high iq “better than Jerry West” JJ Redick.

sktyrhrtout

2 | 5 hours ago

That makes sense, would have been an easy dump then if AR’s guy steps up you have a drop off and easy layup.

I just don’t get the jogging in from half court. I guess it doesn’t really matter but what is the benefit of that over a stack set up? Maybe just to show the defense something different.

Have you somehow missed Bane carrying this team for large parts of this season? Besides, Paolo is a max contract player, of course he has a lot of responsibility.

And the evidence shows he needs a lot of the ball to be an impactful player. As we saw in the months after he returned from injury, he doesn’t do much without it.

What Paolo and our team does need is a better center and more rebounding.

That shit is not on Lebron. He was doing everything down the stretch and his team sold. I’m not even a Bron stan, but I felt bad for him there trying to salvage whatever the fuck that last play was supposed to be.

He split a pair of FTs in the final minutes and they lost by one. He absolutely deserves blame for that

JJ might have drawn up the worst play I’ve seen and then Luka proceeds to hesitate on a three pointer for the first time in his life and then forces LeBron to take a last second 360 shot.

I get that the lakers bench sucks, but JJ is shit at getting his role players involved.

I made a prediction about how theses games play out. JJ will see one of his big three struggling and his game plan and rotation just shifts away with whatever else might have been working.

You saw it coming that AR was going get his numbers. And it comes at a cost to the rest of the teams attempts. (He does this for Bron and Luka)

I predicted that Ayton would get two more buckets and Lo and behold.

This was a LeBron/ayton having a good game and they sorta got frozen out the rest of the way.

You see it that JJ will make the adjustment for his big three on rotations and what not, but not for hot role players.

Lakers are in the worst possible position rn. Not bad enough for decent draft picks. And not good enough to be competitive.

Reaves has a player option he’s certainly not going to exercise as he’s gonna be getting a huge pay raise.

I dunno what the max he’s eligible for is, but I imagine he’s gonna be looking at a nice pay raise.

It seems like LeBron might be at the point he drops off a cliff next season as well.

They are missing first round picks in 2027 and 2029. So they have no real draft or player capital.

Terrible FA class this year. And I don’t see a lot of the 2027 big names going to LA. Maybe Giannis I guess is their plan? But I imagine he’s going to be a sign and trade next season and if so the Lakers will lose whatever little player and draft capital they have to get him.

I don’t see a path forward for the lakers for the next few years into the elite class.

Especially not with the Spurs rapid ascension and the Thunder and Pistons looking to fill out the top-3 and Denver could be right there with those guys.

I really don’t know how the Lakers capitalize on Luka’s prime and put together a team that can compete with how much of a defensive liability he and the rest of their team is.
