Strategically, Lakers' biggest problem is they're letting Jimmy get to the line too often and he's pretty much getting whatever he wants on offense, not sure why Vogel let AD concede off Jimmy switches so often tonight
I think they need to start doubling Jimmy on dribble and force him to make a pass early, I get it's pick ur poison when you double him and Duncan Herro and Crowder are on the floor but those looks are typically going to be 35-37% shots, Jimmy inside is a crisp 45-47% right now. You also should trust your stellar perimeter D that they can make good recoveries and closeouts.
All in all though the Lakers lost tonight because the roleplayers didn't come out to play on both ends of the floor. Only 40 points from players not named AD or Bron on 30% shooting, and the Lakers ran 9 deep. Meanwhile, Crowder, Duncan, Herro, and Nunn all in double figures, Duncan 7-13 from 3. Simply not good enough
