flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

19 | 6 hours ago

People just can’t comprehend the unathletic and slow lockdown defense meta that the Lakers have pulled out of their ass.

I’m joking but also kind of not. I think people look at the roster, box score, and media, and can’t understand how the Lakers are outperforming the level that their precious advanced stats say they should be performing at. I mean, if you only listen to what the media says, you’d think they speedwalk down the floor on every possession and Luka literally doesn’t even make it to the other half of the court on defense. But the stats can’t show everything, and the Lakers have some kind of lock in X factor that allows them to turn into one of the best teams in the league when the lights get bright.

Sircamembert | Lakers

9 | 4 hours ago

I mean, this stretch is also the first time in the season when the Big 3 is fully healthy and fully ramped up. It also helps that Marcus, Rui, and Luke are basically 40% on open 3s and DA recently returned from his mental vacation.

On defense, JJ is throwing junk pitches like blitzes and traps, with the occasional zone defense to keep the defense average. LA don’t have the athleticism to be elite on defense, but with that offense, they don’t have to.

HuskHeel | Cavaliers

1 | 2 hours ago

People also way overvalue defensive efficiency when it comes to playoff basketball. It just becomes effort and game planning around playoff time. Every year people said how LeBron’s Cavs teams were defensive liabilities and then they had multiple games where they shut down the greatest NBA offense of all time 2 years in a row in 2015-2016 until KD came along (which no defense in history could deal with)

All that matters is that you have size, lack of athleticism can be covered up with scheme and effort.

Basic_Loquat_9344

3 | 5 hours ago

Great way to put it 😂

Honestly, of course the talent is insane, but JJ deserves a ton of credit for how well this team is playing around their limitations. It’s like quicksand on both ends of the floor. They use movement to find pockets and traps. Really interesting to watch.

Luka is averaging 38-9-8 in recent games.
The defense in the last 7 games is among the best in the NBA.
Ayton is just playing better on both ends. The coaching staff has trusted him to go 1 on 1 with Jokic and Sengun.
When Bron has been slumping, Reaves has been good, and when Reaves has slumped like tonight, LeBron has been good.

Ayton rolls hard almost every dive and looks to score instead of pouts when he doesnt get it. He’s committed the way Jaxson Hayes is and it shows. No idea how long this will continue but JJ subbing Jaxson Hayes in is because Ayton needs rest whereas previously it was because Ayton was unplayable.

VicktoriousVICK | NBA

2 | 8 hours ago

But it’s all impacted by injuries, even Ayton’s play. With just one of Lebron/Luka/Reaves being out, Ayton has to play a bigger role, so when ²⁄₃ were hurt/out/low minutes, Ayton has to basically be “the guy” for a ton of plays. Being fully healthy gets everyone back in their role

Round 1 pairing is like this:

3 vs 6 - > winner plays most likely Spurs

4 vs 5 - > winner plays most likely OKC

And then if Lakers beat Spurs, they have to play OKC. So you have to play both, or whichever team got them out, which is quite unlikely at the moment.

Relatively_Cool | Lakers

I think they can beat the Spurs because of the inexperience tax and having 2 of the greatest playoff performers of all time. Still think OKC is too good to overcome.

I’ll never forgive the nonstop 2025 Luka slander in a year he was traded out of the blue from his home to a bad roster, wasn’t able to see his kids, and going through a divorce

People really chose to believe the overblown or flat out dumb national narratives over 6 years of evidence showing greatness. Only remembering the last thing they saw. Even his “bad” year was 31-7-7 and playoffs.

Top 4 and always was. Should be higher in the MVP ladder as well. Higher seed than Ant and Jokic (who get away with some of the flaws Luka has) and an efficient 33-8-8 with a worse roster

Complaining is an issue but don’t think it impacts the game so much as some. Defense and weight were issues at time but overblown, especially given his offensive load because of bad rosters. People reacting to a temporary bad shooting %’s to start, calling him a ball hog, or saying he can’t win big is just utterly ridiculous and shouldn’t have been entertained given his offensive greatness and bad rosters in comparison to Shai, etc and his playoff success

Is it normal for the lakers to only play 3 games against those teams and not 4?

It’s weird, I don’t know why that happened. We play the Suns 5x this year too

Because we played them an extra game for the NBA Cup’s semi-final. Same division teams always get scheduled 4 games against each other before cup’s games

Division opponents are 4 games each in the schedule. As for the other opponents in the same conference, I think they play 6 teams 4 times each, and 4 teams three times.

Team defense in last 10 games looked really good. The effort and rotation looks so much better, their zone defense look really tight.

More planned play and less improvisation on offense gives consistency. And then you have Lebron/Luka/AR to fill the offense.

this stretch really reminds me of the “run the table” packers, just win win win

Who cares The Lakers are nothing. Yeah the have a nice pg who plays no Defense as the Lakers. Lebelittle needs too retire. Nobody like you bro. All u care is about stats. Your no goat, not even top 10 all time. Bill Russell the all time Goat. The dude put the Celtucs on the map with I think 10 rings in a row. With the same team

Why would you add all 3 scores up and call it 7-2? That is actually meaningless.

Lebron field goal today. lmao!

The Lakers now hold the head to head tiebreaker against the other three teams competing for the 3 seed. They finish the season 7-2 against Denver, Houston and Minnesota.
