    0:19 besides the Raptors what other team can rival that atmosphere. I wonder if Brooklyn is going to build one of those to tick us Bucks fans off!?

      Milwaukee is such a lame little segregated city. Surprised their fans are that passionate about sports.

    Sure, just dont ever play Melo, Westbrick, Monk or LeChina.

      Lebron was top 5 in defensive player of the league voting before he got injured

    Frank Vogel is an underrated defensive coach because the Lakers were top 5 defensively 2 years ago

    • ElChapothedon

      October 6, 2021 at 9:31 pm

      They were the no.1 defensive rated team in the league last season.

    • Monty

      @ElChapothedon Still had defenders that are all gone now

    • ElChapothedon

      @Monty only kcp, schroder and Caruso were the only good defenders that left. They still have have A.D, now they have Howard, Westbrook, Rondo, lebron. Who are all good solid defenders. Ofcourse A.D being the best of them.

    • Monty

      @ElChapothedon None of those players can guard the opposing team’s best players and none of those players have to be guarded behind the 3pt line. You also forgot Danny Green.

    • Monty

      October 6, 2021 at 10:13 pm

      @ElChapothedon If all those players play at once, the spacing will be horrible.

    Keep the same narritive when the lakers are steamrolling everyone and it looks unfair.

    Frank Vogel just has to preach defense

    The Lakers WILL build an OLD defense
    I bet it has a drawbridge and everything! 💥

    • Won't Marry You, I'll BURY YOU

      October 6, 2021 at 11:20 pm

      And it will still be a top 3 defense just like the last two years

  8. Daredevil Lebron

    October 6, 2021 at 8:51 pm

    They will probably have dest defense in the league

  9. Mark Jones

    October 6, 2021 at 8:52 pm

    The way Zach Lowe was talking about KCP and Caruso you would think they were Michael Cooper and Dennis Rodman

    Can the nets build a strong defense is a valid question. Zach Lowe is invalid

    • Won't Marry You, I'll BURY YOU

      October 6, 2021 at 11:22 pm

      As long as the Lakers have Vogel their defense will be elite, The Nets defense will have questions

    Can’t wait to see the nets lose again funny how kyrie out and they still got like 70% to win smh 🤦🏽‍♂️ let’s hope kyrie get vaccinated or something because Even if he does look what he putting them through the last 3 season let’s see how easy they win this year with the attitude he got

  24. Matt Lester Matel

    October 7, 2021 at 12:25 am

    I think so, what they should be more worried about is the lack of shooting
