Damn AD really the anchor for this trash ass team. If he not playing good, the whole team does not play good. Throw the whole team away.
Lakers got too many negative players.
Dennis is functionally usesless (no assists, no scoring, no shooting, no defense)
Lonnie is streaky.
Bryant, Juan, Gabriel are unreliable
Patrick Beverly is a pest defensively, but he's turned into a guy that gives you nothing offensively
This makes LAL overly reliant on LeBron and AD playing well. The refs have taken AD out of the game and LeBron's shot isn't falling, which makes the situation look worse than it is.
They need another guy that is a threat to score, preferably a big wing or forward.
