Wow, so we're either getting the first pick or the Celtics are getting a very good pick. The Lakers look like a nightmare.

I've only watched 5 minutes but they are seriously going to have issues scoring. I thought the issues would be on defense but I think the other side of the ball could be the bigger issue, albeit I've only watched a few minutes to form an opinion.

Lonzo really needed to play with Ben Simmons. In the half court he just passes the ball and runs as far as he can away from it.

Love the last play he's like I'm not going bother getting back on defense. I'll pull up Ingram instead. Left Beverly wide open for the 3.

Such a baller move

Did the Lakers somehow get worse?

U see what I mean? The shooters arent getting that good of a look. He’s just throwing fast passes to teammates with natural sag of defenders. He needs to suck the defense like how Ben-Biid does it on the strong side

He needs to play at OKC or GSW. Those passes would work with superstar scorers or super elite shooters

Collegiate ball would work because the three point line is nearer so defense is naturally clogged in. Just like how defense is against GSW’s deep three shooters. So if you throw a fast pass to a deep three shooter, he’s got so much space to knock it down. Defenders are also shorter so they’d have problem to covering that much space.

It must suck to find out Swaggy P was your best player. How many fans still want Ingram over Simmons?

Poor dude makes Manute look like Scott Steiner.
