I already know drummonds problem . He just has to focus on getting rebounds all the other stuff will come but he has to be that def rebounder offensive put back, and set OFFBALL SCREENS ROLL HARD when u have it . U don’t need to sit in the paint all the time set a off ball or something make the opposing big get out the paint . These are things great role players do and succeed in it . He still wants to post up sometimes and crowd the paint . I believe Drummond will play better though .

AD missed over half the season and LeBron missed a third of the season. How many teams in the league could lose their two best players for that long and still be in the playoffs?

It is because the Lakers don’t have a good coach. They still have enough talent there to at least fight a little bit but Vogel looks lost. He would not have won the championship last year if not for the weaker competition.

Kuzma needs to get out of LA. To concerned with the lifestyle. It’s been 4 years and dude still can’t dribble with his left

I swear these sports ppl have the greatest job in history they throw paint at the wall and hope it sticks then when it doesn’t months later they have a whole new outlook. They said this was the deepest team in the league to start the season then they got Drummond!!

The only 2 Lakers holding the Lakers back are the injured Mfs .. The best ability is availability

Jefferson always disagreed with Perkins!!! But I always agree with Perkins’ analyses.

This game has the top three players of Lakers out so its not news that they lost. You can’t tell that the other team is good because they beat a lame team. Clippers kept losing to Nuggets. That games are more meaningfully than lakers game.

Yet at the beginning of the year every sports analyst called the Lakers the best team in the league a “team” doesn’t just include LeBron and AD they’re just individuals who carry their team they’re not the best overall
