Difference between lakers and rest of teams in nba

I watch alot of other teams in nba play offense and one thing that lakers lack the most is solid pick and roll. I have complained for many years about lakers and wondered why any coach lakers hire can never seem to install hard pick and roll on offense. and yet lakers are never a good pick and roll defender on the other side. last season lakers defense was all about rim protection and switching on defense in playoffs but during this season its all chase around screen defense which to me is a total confusion. Now i am not a fan of team turning switch on for playoff bc our current situation is not good record wise until either or both ad and lebron comes back who knows when. opponents clog the lane bc our 3 pt shooting sucks and if the team cant spread the floor we cant score on the inside as well. Yeah we are missing 2 of the greatest player in the world but opponents dont care about that and neither should we. This year the lakers defense is really bad considering we are leaving players open on almost all possessions. kuzma is so dam inconsistent bc he just seems to not be able to shoot smoothly without rushing everytime. our offense is all ball watching and just hot potato passes with each other. nothing is working and vogel is just standing on the side spectating. kcp and mathews is in a funk from 3 and so unreliable this seasons players is a huge mess that lakers are just chilling hoping for a miracle. we play small ball yet dont play small ball defense. wat irritates me the most is when the ball handler has to call for a pick to come. I scream on TV sayin WTF are you doing run to the player and set the dam pick already. lebron and AD are scorer and with both of them out someone in teh team has to stand up and say its my time. WTF are we doing cherry picking shots instead of being scrappy and energetic. We surely werent energetic vs atlanta or suns. Its easy to notice when team plays uninspiring basketball and thats what we are seeing now. Its all dam we cant win without lebron and davis so lets just try and hope for a miracle. F that
