Also, Dwight dribbling into a post up himself? Not the best sign for his attitude.

Davis looked like he had one foot in the grave at the end of the first quarter.

The entire team’s conditioning looks substandard imo.

The Lakers aren’t the cavs. They haven’t played together for years so they’re not gonna be able to turn it on at a drop of a hat come playoffs. They can’t play terrible right up to the playoffs and have no issues. They need to turn it around soon and bring in some momentum.

Lebrons fine but as a team it can be a problem.

Davis isn’t a good enough offensive player to be the #1 option in the playoffs. The offense needs to run through lebron if they want to win a ring.

Lakers aren't the worst team of all time when a few shots fall.

Of course he isn't

He has been exposed numerous times

He is even a bit inconsistent with his effort on both ends, which is not acceptable for someone who should be in his prime rn

We need AD to dominate vs a team like the clippers because they have multiple guys to throw at Lebron. But if we make the finals, we don't win without Lebron being a huge offensive scoring threat

On offense, yes

Mcgee has been pretty bad

Here is the thing though, our defense will win it for us

Does Mcgee help us enough there to justify his negative offense? Probably not, but Dwight may

Wish we still had Avery rn

All teams are defending Davis with the Raptors method now.

He looks very bad as a result. Even his body language looks a bit questionable.

AD is so soft sometimes. For a guy in his prime he has too many off games

Lakers need to make those passing reads out of doubles easier for AD. No one moves or cuts and opens up for him in those situations. He's not LeBron, he won't find you, you have to make him find you

Davis keeps going to these long midrange jumpers that he keeps bricking.

On a positive note though, Cook and KCP are hitting their shots.

LeBron looking very likely to end the season under double digit assists per game.

Just getting five assists in a game seems to be a chore on this team.

Shame. That would have been a nice accomplishment to add to the career book.

Bron or Vogel gotta pick up a technical or fine soon. This is getting ridiculous

It is what it is. Whole new game does not include LeBron James (apparently).
