I think it was a combination of trying to ease AD back into the lineup and AD actually contributing heavily to this win.
He’s going to figure out AD and Bryant need to start together, and then you rotate Wenyen in for Bryant or AD and literally sub those players for each other all game, with possibly Bron coming in at the 5 for a small ball lineup as needed, and JTA and Hachimura giving us power forward minutes when you want to take out 2 Centers.
The problem is his weirdo love for three guard lineups that literally don’t work.
Dennis > Westbrook
Brown > Christie
Bron > Hachimura
AD > Gabriel/JTA/Hachimura
Bryant > Gabriel
4th quarter lineups should be
Dennis
Bron
Hachimura
AD
Bryant

Vogel did the same thing, at this point I am believing this is a FO demand than two different coaches doing the same thing. Pelinka did say this before the season
I have a hard time believing two different coaches playing this dumb guard trio over FO who on paper said they want this.
I don't think it was a mandate from the FO. Obviously, they did them no favors with the roster (especially Vogel, that roster was egregiously awful) but I think coaches have this sometimes misguided loyalty/trust in vets. It's no surprise that a rookie coach would default to playing vets that have had success in this league like Russ, Bev, and Schroeder over fringe/young players like Brown jr., Gabriel, Christie. Once the full calvary is back, you would hope he sees that Rui, Reaves, Christie, Gabriel are just more impactful next to Bron/AD than most of the vets on this roster. He has to let them play through their mistakes.

You are right, hopefully Rui can take some off the mins if he does well on defense. Rob saying that is still concerning though. He has shown every year he prefers adding guards more than wings outside of year 1 where he did a good job with Markieff Morris in FA.
Yea we want a 38% fg shooter not 3pt but fg in LA
Pat Bev startin to hit some shots
Rui is big at 6’8 played well and AD was a nothing but a tease showin you how dominant he is when he’s healthy
Lakers need one more piece
If they could get Bogdanovich

Lakers looked alright. You just have to wonder if Rob missed the window to make a move that would save the season. Think you guys at least make the play in as long as AD and Bron stay healthy.

Maybe, the saving grace is that no teams have truly separated themselves from the pack. So a decent run should help right the ship.
That’s exactly it
From the Lakers at 12 all the way up to the Kings at 3 everything is gummed up
Nobody has separated themselves

TBF Warriors look different with Steph back, same for the Suns with Paul. Gotta get rolling.

After tonight, the Lakers have shot 167 more free throws this season than their opponents, the largest margin in the NBA.
