Lakers need a backup rim protector by the trade deadline as #1 priority. C wood and Hayes trash.
Call the Hornets and see if you can get one of their centers.

its obv LebronLakers give up the 4th most 3 pts per game.
I just don't see how anyone can defend Darvin during these sort of games. He's a polarizing dude, cause he'll have a masterclass vs the Pacers.. or do some really good things against the Griz, and Warriors last year.. but besides that he's been terrible
Its so crazy that he is horrible for basically every second of being a Lakers coach, but is able to show he can be competent in a playoff like scenario
Honestly at this point I think it's LeBron/AD really controlling more in the playoffs
Uhh yes.. do you not watch the games? The scheme calls for overhelping on drives and funnelling dudes to AD while also giving up 3'sARE WE BLAMIN DARVIN HAM NOW?

Now that can work some of the time, but in the modern NBA guys are eventually gonna hit open 3's and so as a coach you gotta be able to pivot.. and Darvin is a horrendous in game adjustment coach.
NVM his in game rotations are terrible, he pulls the plug on rotations that are working, while trying to work rotations that dont make sense given the opponent, while also never calling timeouts at an appropriate time, and being wrong constantly when trying to challenge plays, and such terrible offensive sets that both Lebron and AD just wave him off at certain points

I ONLY DISCUSS BASKETBALL ON A SERIOUS LEVEL WITH PURISTS AND ENTHUSIASTS.. NOT DICCSUCKIN GROUPIES
I watch a lot of former and current NBA player podcast and shows and you wouldn't believe the stories of how a lot wild decisions come from up top and ownership. Certain organizations the coaches are handcuffed. Some organizations benefit more by losing so they do everything possible to make that happen. Players get sat because of personal beefs. Porzingas just said he was half assing it in Dallas sometimes cuz he was pissed about something and stayed in the corner during plays. Dudes be Jealous on the teams. Its so much that goes into winning basketball in the NBA breh much less deep Playoff runsLakers give up the 4th most 3 pts per game.

Well yea of course get money. Winning gets you more money for a longer time tho unless youre a star player. Look at the In Season tournament. You can joke about it but winning it all equals more money. For everyoneWinning is a bonus. The goal is to get your money
