[Highlights] The Lakers with three straight 3s, but they can’t play the transition defense each time, letting the Warriors score some easy buckets. Redick takes a timeout
Clint Capela would have prevented that
Capela’s rim protection would’ve definitely helped, but our perimeter guys got cooked on those initial drives too.
You got the talent, kid, but you ain’t got the heart
Thanks dad
That Lakers defense just looks completely checked out right now.
Lol
It’s not even transition defense, those were made baskets. They should have been able to set their defense but every time they take their sweet time jogging back into a 2-1-2 zone and no one is tracking the Warriors players. Warriors aren’t even running either, Dray just bringing the ball up.
None of the Lakers show any interest whatsoever in playing defense. Warriors just waltzing into the paint, no one even jumping to contest the layups. Ugh.
This is a veteran team. JJ can’t do much about apathy.
DominAyton = zero rim protection.
I miss the days of Nick Van Exel. Those Laker teams weren’t so talented ( i.e. the Eddie Jones/Travis Knight days), but they went hard. Van Exel went full John Wick on everyone, every night, no matter what.
Before the 3pt era, if you were a short pg, you better be scrappy as hell
Exactly, they’re acting like the play stops after a made basket. Just jogging into a set defense with zero urgency while the Warriors casually walk into open layups.
Prime capella would have held that down
Ayton got GarypAyton’d
Ayton just does not understand what will happen next.
How do you expect them to make it all the way back to the other basket after a made 3-pointer? Do you see how fast Draymond is sprinting down the court!?
Right? Draymond’s already at halfcourt by the time the ball’s through the net. That’s just hustle you can’t teach.
It’s like they were celebrating the three and forgot the game was still going. Draymond’s already at halfcourt by the time they turn around.
Not really 3 possessions of transition imo. Just pathetic defense
Yeah the rotations were just nonexistent, they looked completely lost out there.
Hmmm… that zone ain’t working
Deandre Ayton with that patented I-dunno-wtf-I’m-doin-hoss defense.
Ayton is a fucking idiot
Have fun with Aynton Laker dorks
classic lakers basketball hit three straight 3s and then immediately give up 6 points in like 20 seconds. we really gotta stop celebrating and actually get back on defense for real.
Ayton is like 2 steps behind everyone else on the court. He doesnt see what is about to happen until the pass is mid air and then he is in scramble mode
1st one was Ayton, 2nd one was Reaves, 3rd one was Luka. Whole team confused on defense
How does a team only score 101 when the Laker’s defense is this bad?
I’m seriously asking - I didn’t see the me so I’m wondering if they just had lapses or if the warriors were just crappy?
We are so bad defensively. And it’s all due to not have anyone that hustles on D.
but they can’t play the transition defense
TIL Deandre Ayton uses gender neutral pronouns
They didn’t even have to hunt Luka
Deandre Ayton never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Lakers deep shooting will cool off. Need to keep it close right now.
Of course LeBron has the same shitty body language
Very visibly sighing
Terrible leader
