Don't understand this defense, to allow Poole to walk into open 3s. Ham seriously doesn't play any pick and roll defense other than drop

Vanderbilt for President

Love the energy of this bench group. Vanderbilt + Wenyen go non stop

Vanderbilt a poor man’s Pascal on offence which is great for a guy that’s a Swiss Army knife on D

What an awesome pass by D Lo

Why doesn't Ham stagger D-Lo and Schroder so one of them can run the second unit? :-?

Because DLo can't defend guards and Schroeder probably deserves to start.

DLo off the bench could work with Reaves being tasked with guard.defemse but he's also a bit slow for certain guards.

Poole with all 16 Warriors points in the 4th, make an adjustment HAM. Maybe put Reeves on him

Need the ball in DLo's hands rest of the way, and Vandy back in. One shift per half is not enough

I didn't say he shouldn't start. I said they should be staggered. Take one out earlier and then bring him back with the second unit.

AD is getting HACKED in the paint. Refs are blind

MIn positive out of the deadline trades is that Lakers will likely cut down turnovers a little and rebound way more. Should not lose games based on possession deficits as much. This might be key to an improvement.

It's wild how Draymond isn't even looking at the basket. Gets the ball in the paint and has to run to the arc to try and do a handoff. :lol:

MisterHibachi · Post #3534 » by **MisterHibachi** » Sun Feb 12, 2023 4:00 am

AD needs help on the boards. Get Vanderbilt in there

MisterHibachi · Post #3535 » by **MisterHibachi** » Sun Feb 12, 2023 4:02 am

88% free throw shooter misses both, cmon man. This team is allergic to closing out a game

Vanderbilt and Reeves deserve to start.

Ball should've been in Russell's hands

Don't worry, he's gone. He can't hurt you anymore

AD's defense in the second half of the 4th was special. Reaves had Klay locked down as well. Vandy deserves more minutes - I need more AD/Vandy minutes.

Good win. I like the look of this team. May be too late in the season, but this team would be very good if they had the full season to gel

For the first time in three years, the Lakers have rotational pieces who can either defend or shoot three pointers. It would be nice to have another two-way role player (Reaves is one), but you take what you can get.

With this rotation, LeBron playing the way he has been and AD at least somewhat close to what he was earlier this year makes for a very very dangerous team.
