  5. No one should feel "Good" about the Lakers win against the Suns last night. The Lakers perhaps recruited a bunch of offensive first minded players and the reason, I say this is because, on defense they don't know how to box out, they give offensive players on the other team too much space between them, they don't stay glued to their offensive players, they don't crash the boards whether on offense or defense, they don't handle aggressive offensive players with the correct defensive response and the only aggressive players they have on defense or offense right now is Cam Reddish, Taurean Prince, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and sometimes LeBron James. I now, understand why Christian Wood is on his 8th team in 8 years because, he's not very good on defense for a "Big Man" largely because, he doesn't know how to cut off the pathways when offensive players decide to drive to the hoop, he doesn't box out or crash the boards when the shot goes up on defense or offense. Here's what I witnessed from DLo's game, he's too indecisive when he has the ball in his hands, he also, gives too many pump fakes instead, of just rising up and shooting the ball, I also, noticed how the Lakers took him out of the rotation in the 4th quarter because, he is not clutch when the game is on the line and he is also, intimidated by larger players that play the same position as he does. They either, must insert Rui in the starting lineup or increase his minutes off the bench as he gives them offense when everyone else, is missing open jump shots and he plays defense when everyone else is standing around watching. The coaches need to work on teaching Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes how to play defense especially, down in the paint. I think Darvin Ham's rotation of players continue to be issues at the onset of each game, as he needs to position AD at the 4 and start Christian Wood at the 5 because, AD is a better defensive player when he can roam. He needs to continue putting Austin Reaves on the second unit because, he cannot dribble and he flops entirely too much as he's trying too hard to live up to expectations, while making too many mistakes. They need Vando back "Bad" because, he ignites their defensive approach as this is the reason why they are so, "Bad" and "Slow" on defense.

  6. The Lakers need Jared Vanderbilt!! He was the X-factor and what makes us a top team!!!! What he does night in and night out is definitely OVERLOOKED!
