Are the Lakers fixable? Perk says HELL NO 🎙️ | SportsCenter
The Lakers they cling to a 1. 15958 lead at halftime and Brian we were talking earlier there is a stat that when LeBron hasn’t you cannot waste what is that he hits these three-pointers I mean he’s four or five on threes the Lakers should be up 15 points in this game minimum the
Points off turnovers are 17 nothing Second Chance points are eight nothing Lakers have made their threes John Mor in foul trouble you’re at home coming off some losses Lakers got to be looking at themselves in m going why are we not a 15 it’s a it’s a price get tie
Game and that is not acceptable and I mean tats off to the grizzley hats off to Marcus Smart for shooting him back in it but the Lakers they cannot continue to play this way they cannot let this game get out get out of their hands I agree because coming into this matchup
What were they four from 30 from three not too long ago and now they have eight makes which is better they’re 47% shooting from three if you told me that LeBron James has 18 Anthony Davis has 16 they’re shooting nearly 50% from three they should be up by 20 but it’s because
The other end I mean it’s like every time there’s some kind of bottle that opens on defense that they can’t put back in order when you play with fire long enough you go get burnt and the problem that I have is we’re talking about the Lakers three-point shooting
And what they shot from the three why do they keep firing up threes they’re not a three-point shooting team before the game I talked about imposing their will in the paint getting to the free throw line right now they got five free throw attempts as a whole that’s unacceptable
And I understand when BR gets hot from the three we got to say let them cook and all that but you still need to attack downhill you still have to get to the rack you still have to find ways to impose your will to well on this young
Memphis Grizzly team because look John Morant still haven’t taken off yet and you know how he’s capable of taking over games in the second half the Lakers better come out and strap their shoes up in this third quarter qu only 11 points for John Morant so far in this one we’re
Talking about all of the things that should be because of what they are doing how can they create some separation well get some stops and get out and run which is what they already did because they’re heading fast break points too so I don’t know man you figure out a way figure out
A way it’s okay happy New Year time to welcome in 14-year NBA vet and Champion Kendrick Perkins and perk another loss for the Lakers okay four straight two- n in their last 11 games and now they’re in 11th place in the west is this fixable what we’re seeing hell no and
Look the Lakers couldn’t play dead in a in a western movie right now that’s how horrible they are and and look I’ve been saying this since the playin tournament it was Fool’s goal right the Lakers had the easiest pool they had the easiest way to of winning the n Season
Tournament but when you think about the Lakers they play too slow and if you have a Elite guard play and you play with speed you could beat the Lakers and tonight we saw that we saw Marcus SM getting wide open looks we saw John R driving in in in transition getting guys
Easy looks getting whatever they want and until the Lakers make a move and get that third star they’re going to continue to struggle because trying to have LeBron James as the at the point guard position in a playmaker right at the age of 39 years old you’re going to
Wear him down they got the clip next they going to get stoed out yeah is one of the highest teams in the NBA that is for sure uh winners of five in a row they are they get them on Sunday all that being said where do the Clippers
Now rank in terms of Western Conference contenders oh they’re the biggest threat in the west to the Denver Nuggets they’re the biggest threat they’re deep they’re well coach and when they were struggling the one thing that I said is is that if if it was anyone that could
Fix the Clippers it was coach Tyron Lou and he has done that shorten his rotations figured out how to run a system revolving and starring Kawai Leonard kawhai Leonard is back looking like a top 10 player right now if this Clipper team stay healthy I wouldn’t be
Surprised if they make it to the NBA finals and you know that’s saying a lot I know James Harden caught a lot of you know heat you know for the way that he forced himself out of Philly but to be honest with you the way that the Clippers playing right now the biggest
Threat to them is the Denver Nuggets and they got the dep at the big position the ballot with the Big Y is down low yeah perk I’ll tell you the Clippers are winning everyone’s happy Harden looks happy and like you said health is the big key especially with kawhai Leonard
Right he’s got to stay healthy and then look out two La teams going in opposite directions perk thanks for hanging out with us well thank you [Applause] p
The NBA Countdown crew weighed in on what they saw from the Los Angeles Lakers when they held a 1-point lead over the Memphis Grizzlies at halftime. Kendrick Perkins then joined SportsCenter after the Lakers fell to the Grizzlies, 127-113.

stars in sports after they make a big amount of money should take a pay cut so the organization can get better stars around the stars my opinoin
Knicks spank the 76ers and ESPN feels this is the YT video to upload? Get it together, folks. The NBA is more than the Lakers and Wemby.
Trade Lebron
Clippers gonna feast on Lakers this sunday
Lakers “others” are bad. And, they are wearing down their aged, injury-prone stars in the first half of the season. Bad bad formula …
Lechoke is killing the team let the young players play leflop days are over. Go away Willie
LABron….you think you're unhappy right now?
Wait till after tomorrow night.🤭
Klaw, 360-slammin' PG-13, and 'Magic' Harden gone have you in tears, bruh.😂
4😢REAL
I got Clippers FEVER, baby!!!!!!
🤣🤕🤒😂
Lebron stans – AD needs to step and stay healthy for us to win
Lebron stans – even though AD is healthy and is playing like a monster, we need more help
😂😂😂😂😂 only lebron cultist can make up the excuses and stupidity that comes out their mouths
Just a reminder for everyone watching this is ESPN not the Lakers home channel although i get the confusion!
"Yo, wut up, Maine??"
"Wut up??"
"Yo, where my maine, 'Street Clothes', dawg??
I ain't seen him much this year."
"Street Clothes"??
Aw, shooo, he at work, dawg.
Ain't missed hardly no days this year."
"Straight up, for real??!"😳
"For REAL, dawg."😐
What's crazy is that D'Lo had a pretty good start of the season, but had his struggles and was benched. This has completely messed up the offense.
D'Lo is a better ball handler than Reaves, and he was pressed constantly last night. Schroder is the missing piece they need.
Schroder is the missing piece: A true point guard who can confidently bring the ball up the court, shoot, get steals, and create opportunities for other players on the floor.
Gabe Vincent was his replacement, and he's out with an injury. So, the Lakers' offense is handicapped until that role is fixed.
I don't ever wanna hear someone in the right mind actually saying and believing LeBron is the greatest player ever lol
Do the Lakers play defense? 😅
Wasn’t saying this when they won that BS tourney 😂😂 these nut riders are so back and forth it’s sad
NGL during perks racist jokic remarks I did not like him. BUT over the past few months he has been ALOT better tbh
Stetson bennett Is the best college football player in history but that might change Monday night bruh.
# eating beef jerky with buffalo sauce
He was riding their meat in the beginning of the season, now look at the switch up of death😂
LeBron and Anthony Davis are Top 10 players but the team is “unacceptably bad?” Lol.
Maybe LeBron should try playing some defense and not be a team worst in +/- Nah, it’s everyone else’s fault.
LeBron always makes his teammates better… and his teammates are terrible and everyone needs to be traded. 💀💀💀
LeBron James is the GOAT!! He just needs a third star to get above .500.
🤣🤣🤣
If Perk says it is not fixable, I believe it is! He said the Clippers wouldn’t go anywhere with James and he should be benched! 😂😂
All this analyst are useless!
lol wolves are the best team in the west and somehow 2 other teams in the west are being talked about …lol
"They're deep, and they're well coached." – Perk talking about the Clippers
Well, that's just the exact opposite of the Lakers. Not deep, with the worst head coach in the entire League … by far.
like i saiid LeBron is leaving LA so start the rebuild
LeBron and AD both need to have big games (25+) and DLo and Rui need to both start and also have big games (at least 20 points for one and 15 for the other) if we're going to beat the Clippers and their 4 stars.
LeBron isn't the greatest he's the most overrated basketball player ever. Trade him to Cleveland for Donovan Mitchell. He's 4-6 in finals that's disgraceful and unacceptable.
PERK FINALLY HAS MADE SENSE…FINALLY.
PERK FINALLY HAS MADE SENSE…FINALLY.
Lebron teams always trade for the best players from the worst teams every year, they make a big trade but bottom line lefraud is a stat padder and not a leader, doesn’t play defense, AD is good but trash leader, Reaves is a fraud
No one cares!!!!! Stop talking about the lakers media, move on to the teams that are actually good!!!
New year, same Crap!
I sure would like to know why
P.J. Tucker isn't playing AT ALL.
I think it's obvious:
He must have gotten sideways with somebody in the front office, or coachingstaff, and once Steve Balmer got word of it, he was DONE..FINISHED.
Balmer must have said something like "Let him get his money every game, but he's gonna sit on the bench like the smartaleck dunce he is and look stupid until we can get rid of him."
😶🤭😅🤣😂
I wonder what's going on with the other 29 teams in the association 🤷🏿♂️
Fixable? Lol they were a 4 seed less then 2 weeks ago 😂.
They are like 4 games back from being back in the 4 seed.
Y'all ride the Lakers so harrddd
Lakers fans, need some 'used' 'Boo Bird' costumes?!! 😂
Got just whatcha' need!😂
There's thousands of 'em left over in Cleveland!!😂: from when 'someone' left and took their talents to South Beach!😂
…And the Clippers will likely kill them on Sunday. Three home games were lost in a row.
Clippers got perk moaning at 3:48😂😂😂
Clippers to the Finals??? That was a good one 😂😂😂
No surprising Jack Nicholson didn't show up at the lakers game anymore
Love watching lediva lose
