AD had an incredible first quarter and spent all of the second quarter just shooting jumpers wth man

Please someone gif that sequence by Westbrook. I don't think i've seen a 3 second span describe a player better.

I missed the 1st half, but getting really sick and tired of Vogel's lineups and offensive counters

Terry Stotts?

Why would you start Russ, THT, Bron, and AD and then put Avery out there instead of Ellington?

NO **** LOGIC

I wouldn't even start THT, especialyl if we are going to roll out a lineup with none of AD, Bron, Russ or THT at some point like he did

LeBron looks good. AD looks good with him. Healthy concentrated 40 minutes per playoff game will,be difficult to defeat as long as there’s decent support. Westbrook doesn’t help anything.

Avery Bradley really is kind of pointless out there.

EVERY **** THIRD Q

How is Smart owning AD?

Avery is useless

Vogel might not make it

Westbrook is literally not good at anything. Swapping him out for the average 2-way g-league guy would make this team better

THT and Westbrook = tissue paper perimeter defense. Neither should start

Why is Bradley getting so many minutes, he's getting cooked on defense so what's his value

let's put this thing to bed, it's not injuries, the roster isn't a title winning one. This is the first team in 3 years that struggle with Lebron and AD playing this good. I didnt even think it was possible to lose quarters when those two are on.

I prefer AD's skill set, but this is why Giannis is so much more credible as a #1. AD is just too comfortable floating around for long stretches.

WHY THE **** IS AVERY BRADLEY PLAYING SO MUCH?????

Also undersized so even when you force a miss he gets beaten to the rebound.

This Lakers team is not worth watching, even with LeBron playing.
Don't believe the hype...

Kanter is on the floor, yet Russ is shooting pull up 3s early in the clock. This man has no sense of game management.

Fbis team is freaking terrible. It’s a damn shame that LeBron is so good in year 19 and Pelinka built such a bad team around him.

carmelo has now been cooked against every good team the Lakers have played. I have seen a big enough sample to be 100% certain he has no place in a winning playoff rotation. For those not watching it's absolutely brutal when he gets targeted, he can't hold his own for even the smallest stretches.

Everywhere I look, I see players that I would normally actively avoid watching if they weren't Lakers.

THT sucks. What has he done to deserve a starting spot?

Team actually looks ok when Russell is on the bench and not out there point shaving.

He's to blame, no? He and AD wanted Westbrook. Going after Hield was the smart thing to do
