I think they all went out Saturday night. They looked sluggish the whole game.

 

[HoldThisL]

Disgusting

Disgusting

AD betta show out next game on Greg Oden Jr.

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Suns are ass, a Lakers team with a normal Bron and AD win this one in 5, but they don’t look right - especially Bron

 

[Guile]

Why didn't the Lakers sign Dedmon, did he have an under the table deal with the Heat or something?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

AD has tendonosis in his Achilles. That shyt fukks with your mind. You overcompensating so physically so you gonna have issues but the real damage is mentally. Every step he takes or when he plants he thinks he’s gonna tear that shyt...

This is a tough injury

I’ve had this injury it’s a bytch

 

[threattonature]

Foreal. I just can’t get over how bad this nikka Drummond is on defense. nikka been in the league almost a decade the fukk was he doing all this time

Bron and AD been going against this dude for all these years and EATIN comfortably against him. So they had to have known he was a low iq turnstile...yet they went hard for him

Most of it wasn't on Drummond though. With the Lakers pick and roll coverage the Suns are causing a Lakers switch where Drummond is on the ballhandler and leaving a smaller man on Ayton and then eating off of that on the offensive boards. They're also involving two screeners at once to make it harder for the Lakers to preplan rotations and to confuse their assignments.

I think AD is going to have a big game tonight

He's at his best when he's been called out

 

[HoldThisL]

Lakers gonna blow out the suns today by 20.

 

[Flex Luger]

More Gasol tonight.

 

[High quality poster]

Lakers gonna blow out the suns today by 20.

Think the reverse is gonna happen

was just listening to Bo's podcast and he brought up something that had me hit the

last year in the playoffs, AD went on a run of jump shooting unlike anything he had ever done in his career while in the bubble. his long range 2s and 3 point shooting was incredible.

Below is his last 3 years and bubble numbers on midrange js and 3s.

17-18 season, 18-19 season, 19-20 season, (2020 bubble)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
34.1%, 32.2%, 32.1% (bubble 55.2% ) - LONG 2s JUMPSHOT PERCENTAGES
33.1%, 33%, 26.2% (bubble 38.3 ) - 3 POINTERS

complete anomaly with his jumpshot in the bubble.

this worries me.....

bron was playing passive too,..not just AD

 

[Rekkapryde]

bron was playing passive too,..not just AD

I fully expect Bron to beast tonight.

I'm legit concerned with AD. Hope that bubble jump shooting wasn't fool's gold.


Drummond needs to sit. AD gotta play bigger tonight.
