SERIOUS SERIOUS WORRY! 😟 – Shannon Sharpe is concerned about Lakers making a run 👀 | First Take

SERIOUS SERIOUS WORRY! 😟 – Shannon Sharpe is concerned about Lakers making a run 👀 | First Take

Is it time to start being a little bit worried about your Lakers making a run yeah because you only have what is it they’re 36 and 20 and 36 and 32 so that means they’re 68 games so what they have what 14 games left 82 games so they

Have 14 games left you’re running out of time and so basically you’re trying to trying to get to the eight seed but Sacramento is is excuse me the six seed Sacramento has swept you this SE I think you won one game maybe but they ow a tie

Great they hold the ti bre they lost four they lost all four the okay so so they they lose the tiebreaker to the Kings they lose the tiebreaker to the warriors uh I think they lose the tiebreaker to the Mavericks and so basically you’re going to be relegated

To the playing tournament that that’s what you are there’s no way around it and you’re going to end up playing Steph you gonna probably end up playing the Suns with KD and book n so that’s where they are I like their chances Saturday night until ad went down LeBron can’t do

Any more than what he did I I don’t know we’ll ever see I mean we’ll see it again but did you know how I mean how special he was shooting the ball from the floor from the three-point line he was attacking the rim uh uh uh the free

Throws he was making but it just didn’t get anybody you look at what Steph got and then you had old siding Klay came in in the first quarter this game was about to get away from him Stephen A you saw it the game was about to get away and

Then uh uh clay came in and get like 17 in the first quarter they regroup rally and and then they didn’t look back once they got the halftime lead had a onepoint halftime lead they didn’t look back after that but yes it’s time for them to worry serious serious

Worrying well Shannon you’re partially right there is reason for them to be concerned but I love how you leave stuff out see that’s the beauty of what I leave out when I’m getting ready to get into that that’s the beauty of what you get because see what happens is you got

To listen to what you say you understand I’m saying because it’s it’s it’s Club Sha Sha one minute it’s night Captain next then you come on here and you think I’m not watching I’m watching you my brother I’m watching you and you left out the most important part they’re

Atrocious defensively they are the allstar break they ranked 28th out of 30 teams defensively that is just awful they got four starters averaging better than 15 points a game shooting better than 44% from three-point range the only starter they ain’t doing that is Anthony Davis and you still can’t win these

Games you five for you even have to leave the state the last nine games and you five and four that’s just disgraceful and then you got D’Angelo Russell who I got on I like D’Angelo Russell I like DLo but there was still an APB I had the cops in La looking for

Him because it was APB out we could find him last year in the playoffs could find last year in the playoffs against def he was nowhere to that’s right and this year he comes on after being inserted in the start lineup averaging nearly 22 on 45% shooting from three but then stinks up

To join in a particular game I think it was against Sacramento and what does he do in the aftermath of that game said he wasn’t even aware of the standards wasn’t even aware of the significance of the game now that’s ridiculous that’s just I mean that see this is what I’m

Talking about Shannon when I said Rob palinka and jeie bus they need to get in the ride and need not Anthony Davis not LeBron James but everybody else need to put him in a ride and ride them around Southern California you know something about that shann and you don’t like the

Taxes but damn it we know we love everything else about LA right you go out there and you drive them around go like this you you you want to go to Utah or someplace you want to where you want to go you want to go someplace other

Than here because the way you playing you ain’t gonna be here for long look at this California Sunshine look at these palm trees we don’t need this nonsense LeBron like you said lights out doing all that he could do Anthony Davis anybody get poked in the eye obviously

That’s going to derail you we get that I’m not blaming him for that but I’m looking at this the the Lakers defensively you can’t stop anybody and it’s mainly because D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reeves who’s improved over the last few weeks but both of them together defensively they’re not wor they have no

One worried no one that’s their problem they they they’ve imp improved offensively but they what they’ve improved offensively they given up defensively now if we get Vanderbilt back and we get uh uh Vince you getting they say you can expect Vanderbilt back they think they think you can expect

Vanderbilt back within the next three weeks three weeks the season going to be over well they expect them back for the playoffs for the playoffs for the playoffs are the Mavs currently the best playing team in the west say oo I’m going to have to say at this particular

Junct yeah I would say yes I would say yeah I would say yeah with Luca playing the way that he’s playing and Kyrie doing what he’s done they’ve got I mean Tim Hardway hasn’t been slouchy you see the Personnel that they have in place and and when you have great guard play

That leads you Molly that leads you that offsets a lot of things with Luca and Kyrie being who they are it’s like man I I I I I I think they are I think they are the best play in and I and I really hope they don’t have to be in the play

In I hope they get that six seed I really do yeah I agree with you because of the Guard play and those two active bigs because they’re getting Second Chance opportunities now you’re giving Luca one two three cracks at you you giving Kyrie two three cracks at you I

Don’t know if you want to give those guys with the way they’re playing and the way they’re shooting the ball currently I don’t know if you want to give those guys multiple cracks at you on a single possession and a single trip down the court and so that’s what those

Bigs are allowing them to do is that you get opportunity after opportunity you mentioned yesterday Stephen over 20 over 20 offensive rebounds 60 to 37 a 23 a plus 23 on the glass do you know how many that many Second Chance points I’m surprised the game was as close as it

Was considering the second chance points that you lost considering the offensive the rebounds that you gave up considering that Luca and Kyrie played as well as they did that just goes to show you just how good the different nuggets are but you can’t give teams consistently that many cracks at you one

Trip down the court because eventually it’s going to bite you in the butt well I just look at Dallas Mavericks right now and I just say to myself excuse me when you go out there and you get gaffing these brothers you got some size you know what you can do offensively all

You’re looking for is some big bodies to send to to provide some kind of defensive presence which is something we’ve lamented about the Dallas Mavericks in the past we don’t necessarily get to do that now so the interesting element is Kyrie with LCA I was at comm’s house yesterday Molly and

And they Luca hits the three too much space he was wide open above the top of the key right and she’s like last play I said oh it goes to Kyrie because they’re not going to let him get the ball again after he just hit that three but they

Forgot it’s KY on that court with you’re Jason you Jason kid going to get Kyrie that damn ball which is exactly what Happened
