From an old Bron to a new Don, Luka Brasci calls the shots now: Your GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2024-25 regular season Thread

Since Bron came back it feels like the team are re-energised on defense. Alot more hustle. Gabe actually hitting 3s is making a big difference as well.

Despite getting swept......I think Lebron/AD held their own the last 2 seasons vs Denver...The real issue was Dlo/Rui/bench not showing up......Could Lebron been a little better in the clutch?...Yes...but the lack of support from certain role players was the real issue.

One of those role players needs the ball in his hands more frequently. The one game the Lakers won against the Nuggets, the “role player” had the ball in his hands down the stretch. Trying to turn that “role player” into Matt Dellavedova has not and will not work, friend.

Or maybe the roleplayer finally had a good game.......If Roleplayer has a history of performing like crap in the post season then he will revert back to the norm........It's up to the GM to find roleplayers who fit the system.

Are we talking about DLO? Cause if so, I agree with you.. his game isn’t made for aggressive playoff defense

His production has ALWAYS fallen off

Good luck with that. Most NBA players aren’t mentally bred to be Scapegoat spot up shooters, friend.

Nah....When you're the starting guard for the Lakers, making 20m per year and bricking wide open shots while playing shytty defense you deserve all the smoke....especially when youre a shyt talker.

On a team with other players playing shytty defense (besides AD) and bricking wide open shots.

DLO gets himself and other players in rhythm when he has the ball. The data and win column supports that, friend.

Lebron's playoff defense was very good/great, so was Reeve.....As for bricking shots:

FG%
AD- 63% with great defense
Lebron- 56% with verygood/great defense
Reeve- 47% with good/very good defense

Dlo shot 38% on nearly 15 shots per game and played shytty defense and Rui was MIA...............Dlo has big games versus weak defenders but struggles against aggressive/very good defenders.

Not with the ball in his hands more frequently.

9-2 in the playoffs since he came back.

But 0-8 when he regulated to the role as the Black Matt Dellavedova

Don’t you want to celebrate #18 in June with a bunch of Mexi-Cacs on Fig? Well our best chance, as this team is currently constructed, is with DLO running the offense more, friend.

The court and these jerseys are abominable.
