The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

Yep, UK Caboy, alot of folks today are expressing the same sentiment. Redick appeared he was somewhere else. No Defense was the MO and his substitutions and rotations looked like Ham's bullshit of a couple of years ago.

His rotations made little sense. He didn't even play Western Knecht until 2:30 left in the Game. He destroyed the team chemistry and play that was developing over the last 6-8 games especially since James went out. Just bizarre!!

It was mostly the effect of trying to re-introduce too many players at the same time. Some only sat out the last game, some have been out for weeks. Only AR and Luka remained on their recent production levels for the most part (I guess Hayes as well). DFS couldn't stay out of foul trouble (I guess someone was trying to defend lol).

I think too much blame and too much credit go the coach at times in the NBA. If your key players have off nights, there's not a lot a coach can do.

Well isn't that the job of the HC to get the rotations right getting everyone back into the flow after sitting-out a game?

We need to bounce back tonight with a convincing win.

It was just 1 game. Shit happens, sometimes you just flush it and move on.

We should all know that with all the food talk in here....

Man, Doncic started this game ofer six. Now he is coming back.

 

[Retroram52]

End of the First Quarter and the Lakers are up by 4 points.

 

[Retroram52]

Doncic has 11, Reaves 8 and Vanderbilt and Vincent need to get on board. Western Knecht, nowhere to be found.

 

[Retroram52]

DFS has a three. The lead is the same.

 

[Retroram52]

There's Western Knecht finally in.

 

[Retroram52]

We have got to play better Defense. Orlando goes up by a deuce because the Lakers are not playing Defense again.

 

[Retroram52]

James adds three FTs without falling down and the game is tied.

 

[Retroram52]

Wagner hits a three and there it is again. No Defense.

 

[Retroram52]

Doncic back in for Western Knecht.

 

[Retroram52]

Doncic ties the game.

 

[Retroram52]

Seriously? We are playing like we did against the Bulls. Orlando goes ahead by 2.

 

[Retroram52]

Orlando makes another three and the Orlando lead is now 5 points. What are you going to do Redick to turn this around?

 

[Retroram52]

The only one scoring is Doncic. Everyone else is just standing around and def not playing Defense. Lakers call another TO.

They need to wake up! These are the most important games of the regular season.

They do well enough over the next 8 or so games and they can rest the last few!

 

[Retroram52]

Vincent and Goodwin are in and neither has scored.

 

[Retroram52]

And what is up with these Lakers missing FTs. Hachimura gets 1 of 2.
