if the lakers just tighten up their defense and rotations with communication they would be alright. it just seems like they don't be knowing when they gonna switch, trap or double in pick and rolls. offense will always be hit or miss but they was way sharper the last 2 years defensively and all them cats wasn't great defenders back then so no excuse for now. vogel supposed to be a defensive coach but they be looking lost out there so i wonder what he be telling them.
and that bridges blocking call was shameful, homie madden truck sticked him, that definitely shoulda been reversed. make a few ft's and could have been a confidence building team win without AD and bron. team is talented but so up and down this feel like 2012-2013 lakers, they just having to work too hard to get wins or blowing leads when they have them.
