AD NEED AN MD & LESS SCRUBS IN LA’S ANATOMY: THE 2021 LAKERS OFFSEASON THREAD

[Leavingtheecstasy]

No way there isn't a 3 team deal to get buddy.

I like the players but they HAVE to get a shooter

 

[Cladyclad]

It was clogged last year and we have somehow gotten worse on the shooting end, I will wait till the end of roster though and see how we handle our 2 and 5 position

The lane was not a issue Bron & Dennis got to the rim whenever they tried hell even THT. The Lakers issue was missing so many open 3’s

It was 100% an issue, they got to the lane and struggled because defenders were always there. The best offense was when Marc was in. You gotta be able to make 3s in todays NBA and LeBron team. Defenders wont even care to go out to defend Westbrook from the 3 pt line. AD and Bron are gonna see double every time by Westbrooks defender when they drive in.

The Lakers was gon beat the dog shyt out of PHX if AD was healthy. Even with Bron at 70%. There was no real issue. Lakers had so many good shots that series. They couldn’t make em. Yes spacing wasn’t the greatest but wasn’t a detriment to the team. Injuries were

You cant say there was no real issue when the entire team shot 3s like that. They would have lost to Clippers, Nets, Bucks shooting like that.

Yes the shooting not the spacing. The spacing wasn’t a issue. Shooting 27% on catch and shoot threes are what killed them

Why do you think they were open?

 

[Sinnerman]

Get a fukking pick Pelinka

Nobody on the Lakers attack the rim besides Dennis. Bron was too hurt. So clogging the lane was stopping who?

With AD & Bron hurt. Denny was the only one who attacked the rim. PHX knew it and the shooters couldn’t do shyt. No team should shoot 27% on catch and shoot 3’s

They should if the team is filled with guys who can't shoot.

Good shooting creates spacing and transition. AD was settling for jumpers most of the year, so was LeBron after he came back. The only time the offense looked good was when Marc was in. And like @Regular_P said they were open because they couldn't shoot. Your argument isn't really good. Westbrook gonna be wide open too, that isn't a case for spacing. Anytime LeBron, AD and Dennis drove in, defenders were there. Any time they took a midrange shot, defenders were there.

There are stats to show Lakers had horrible spacing.

Dennis was dominating when AD was playing.

 

[Voice of Reason]

I can see the Lakers going after Jeff Green.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Dennis was dominating when AD was playing.

we got different definitions of dominating


With:

Without:

Conclusion: he was better without AD

 

[Osmosis]

If Bron makes this work

teams won’t even guard Westbrook in the playoffs. Every AD and Bron postup is getting doubled.
