Never play this combination again. Not without a good point. Please?



Upsetting coz this was advertised as a ‘Dress Rehearsal’ and get absolutely out-‘benched’ given LA was supposed to be the ‘deeper’ team.

Getting outscored by 35-15 in the 3rd was some of the ugliest hoops ive seen post westbrook era

Good thing its preseason.

    Rui and Wood together is a nightmare lol. Both guys are enemies of passing the ball

  2. No-Equipment-20

    Some of the ugliest basketball I’ve seen lmao

  3. MacePaladin

    What’s worse? This lineup or the 3 guard PatBev-Schroeder-Westbrook lineups?

  4. nottherealstanlee

    Won’t run this unless the wheels fall off of Dlo, Vincent, Reaves, JHS, and LeBron all at the same time. Better knock on all the Christian Wood in your immediate vicinity.

    Just preseason but max is just making dumb decisions over complicating the game. He maybe feeling the pressure of a contract season.

  6. Psychosomatic_Addict

    Max forcing things. Cam looks like he knows he’s falling short of expectations. Both don’t need to psyche themselves out like this.

    lmao the “no playmaker” lineup

  8. Legitimate_Whole_834

    Looks like Coach Ham is addicted to extreme lineups, lol. It seems like he really wants to have a successful lineup that’s either too small or too big. I’m praying he doesn’t bring these shenanigans over to the regular season 🙏

    Hopefully we got it out of the system

    I thought Max would thrive as the primary ball handler 🙁

    Well now Darvin knows now what not to run now for a bench lineup lmao

    Granted this lineup will not exist at all unless we’re up 20 with less than 2 minutes to go or something. I’m sure between our starters and those who were out with Gabe and Vando, at most 2 of the 7 players here will be in this lineup for more balance in a regular season game

    Its pre-season and this sub is already extremely annoying

  13. rjpool_

    No shit, starters minutes will be staggered

  14. SUPERFASTCARvroom

    It’s time to admit the max leap year was wishful thinking

  15. BigBitcoinBaller

    Just you wait for Wednesday…

    But for realzy. Seems like we subbed 5 starters out for 5 bench guys. So no actual rotations, more like show me what you got (and we got cooked)

    I keep telling people we’re not deep and no one listens. You know what…Time to make a thread.

  17. alexamerling100

    Hopefully this was a one time experiment

  18. DeeJaySkiii

    Gabe Vincent and Vanderbilt will be back so don’t look too deep into this bench unit

  19. Crushbam3

    Cam is a bad player, full stop. People keep talking about him as if he’s an up and coming rookie… This will be his sixth season…

  20. LittleRexRabbit

    Thursday night NFL football? MLB playoffs? Nah, give me preseason NBA.

    Lakers Assistant Coaching Staff – How much height should we throw out there?

    Ham – Yes.
