What kind of offense is this? With 3 of his teammates in the back Russell takes off against the entire Philly defense in a hilarious display of hero mode basketball that ends horribly.
This one is even worse as all the offensive game plan goes out the window and instead he dives head first in the middle of this box created by 4 Sixers and to top things off, D-Lo challenges one of the best rim protectors in the league and of course is unsuccessful.
This 44 point loss, may have been the most disgraceful Laker performance that I’ve seen.
And I gotta show you some of the preposterous things that they were doing.
The Lakers are near the bottom of the league in turnovers and boy we could see that in this game.
Watch this possession. Davis is sealing off Covington under the basket but Reaves is too busy messing around here in the corner, going nowhere, then he dribbles right into AD, gets double teamed still not getting rid of the ball, and ultimately falls out of bounds.
To add insult to injury, Pat Bev then goes and bumps him right here as obviously he’s feeling himself after the good defensive sequence he had.
Again, look- there is no play call here. Reaves just puts his head down and tries to twist and turn his way but instead gets stuck and loses the ball. Absolutely nothing happened on that possession.
And what is Davis even trying to do here, with a wall of 3 Philly defenders in front, he wanted to dribble his way inside I guess, but this move feels like something we could see in the amateur leagues and not from an NBA superstar.
This is also without any concept- Davis is acting like a point guard as he spins at half court here, and then he goes right at Embiid who’s already set and waiting for him at the rim. AD even drifts to the side making it tougher on himself and Joel swats it away for a monster block.
LA ended the game with 17 turnovers and Philadelphia had 5. And you’re definitely not winning the game like that.
The turnovers and the overall bad offense has been on brand for them as they are 25th in offensive rating. Near the bottom of the league in this category as well.
Worst of all, these 3 point looks that they missed are open for a reason.
This team is 28th in the NBA in 3 point percentage. Third worst.
Even with that in mind however, 7 for 28 from downtown is just terrible.
On top of that, they let their opponent grab 15 offensive rebounds, and on some of these, the Lakers were flat out bird watching while the Sixers were rebounding the ball and putting it back in.
This must be the easiest offensive rebound that Covington ever got as not only nobody puts a body on him, but they don’t even touch him as he gets this ball. And then Tobias Harris just walks his way inside for the layup.
And watch Batum here as he again just walks inside and gets this board and the putback.
Speaking of that, it happened again for him right here. No communication, no rotation by the Lakers, nothing. Just a guy jogging inside and dunking it.
And I don’t even know what to say about this as they literally moved out the way for Maxey to score here.
Playing it again, Prince sees that Maxey is in front but I guess he thinks somebody is there on the back line, which Lebron should come out and help but there’s no effort from anyone and Tyrese just lays it in. This is embarrassing honestly.
Speaking of embarrassing, Embiid has a 6 game winning streak on Davis, and in this game he completely dominated him. I know that the Lakers were missing some players, and sure- Philadelphia hit a bunch of threes, but the overall lack of effort and some of the inexplicably bad possessions both on offense and defense were disgusting if you’re a fan of this team.
So, Laker fans I’m sorry that you had to watch this.
But you’re not alone as Spurs fans feel a bit of pressure as well, with the entire basketball world turning against Victor Wembanyama- so you can watch that right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

idk to me it looked like the whole lakers team suddenly got dementia. they all looked so confused the whole time like they didnt even know which one was their basket waddling around forgetting how to do basic plays. it really amused me how lebron even as skilles as he is at his age, still managed to look like the old man that he is in this game. well maybe better games in the future i suppose?
Lebron's teammates are clearly sick of his bullshit
I wish I could turn replies off🤡
Traded the best Russ for the worse Russ🗑🤦🏽♂️. DLO could never fill Russ’ shoes🤣. Yall really thought, and still think, this snitch is better than RUSSELL WESTBROOK🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 YALL CRAZY!!!!!!
Yall really blamed Russ when it was lebrons selfishness but u bronsexuals are blind. Then he tried to degrade him as a human being how could u ever do that to a brother. So fake how y’all respect that?!
YALL THINK BRON IS GOD🤡🌈 he can never do wrong in yall eyes. Kawhi is better than him look how russ was playing with kawhi and pg before harden came.
Lebron did the same in Miami in his weak prime. Dirk is better at basketball than lebron use your eyes.
You girls, I mean guys* really love this bald mf. You dont even wanna watch basketball u guys just wanna watch him drip sweat🌈🌈
Yeah he can jump high, dunk and shoot a whopping 20% from 3. But so can anyone else. His longevity is literally because he load manages in game he doesnt defend or anything just yells at his teammates and stuff and points and shxt to make it look good. I see right through it. This man ruined the nba. Curry owns lebron and he’s actually good at basketball. I hate everyone who babies this man
When he wins, he wants to sacrifice his family to be in the bubble… BUT WHEN HE LOSES ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS RETIRE AND GET BACK HOME TO HIS FAMILY🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Well. LeClown is surrounded with more Clowns, so….
The other 4 was walking 🤣🤣
This was a hard Fkn watch man 🤣💔
A LeBron lead team having trouble at this time in the season and LeBron throwing teammates under the bus? I've seen this movie a couple of times. 😀
Ham is trash.
Laker fans, I'm not sorry you had to watch this. You need every drop of humility you can get.
Maybe the La teams can merge to have a chance…..to make it to playoffs
Trade Reaves for lavine, EAZY
The leader of the team is Lebron, and it unfortunately seems like he's checked out now he's got the scoring record. Its just not what we saw in MJ and Kobe.
LeBron James is the greatest player of all time who lost a lot. Dea*"th to the King!!!😅😅😅
Lmao. Cmon white kyrie. Why are u afraid of taking shots at Lebron? He the actual main reason they're losing.
FIRE HAM FFS
The ref do not call fouls anymore. To make the game faster.
LAKERS NEED OFFENSIVE UPS. Need to concentrate equally on offence now.
Where's Bacon? I mean Ham.
jordan & kobe fans R Rooster Suckers!
It’s ok because d-lo don’t waste time he did it quickly
