  1. I think malik should get the start n hwve reeves coming out the bench tho .. meaning size unless they wanna go small to start n built size down the stretch tho??

  2. Your video ideas are good but you need to provide more in-depth analysis to add value to the content, e.g. breakdown of defensive plays.
    Also, maybe you could show footage which provides evidence for the point you are making, e.g. like when you said D'Lo can be a good defender when he wants to, you could have shown footage of D'Lo hustling on the defensive end or producing ball denial.
    This is how you can take the next step as a content creator imo.

  3. I was just happy to see Dennis not starting with D’lo. It seems so obvious to me that you don’t want 3 ball handlers especially if one of the 3 is lebron fucking James, at that point you arent utilizing your starting lineup.

  4. russell, vando in the doberman role, lebron, AD playing the passing lanes and being the weakside blocker with his 7'6 wingspan, and mo bamba being the primary back line defender with his 7'10 wingpsan

  5. Tony Brown Jr. is a better defender than D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves. Stop it! If it's a last minute defensive play, I'm putting him in the court as follows:
    AD
    Jared Vanderbilt
    Troy Brown Jr
    Lebron (IFirstly, 'd show him 2020's clip of Kyle Kuzma shoving him to defend the 3pt line) 😅
    Austin Reaves / Dennis Shröder

  6. I like Malik or Walker with DLO. Reeves gets eaten alive on defense. Ingram and McCullum literally started taking turns on him LOL!!!!

  7. The defense looks really, really good. New Orleans scored 131 points before the trade deadline on the 4th and 102 points after the trade deadline on the 15th. However, I'd like to see a clone of 2020 with Bamba playing JaWight McHoward's role, Vanderbilt playing Caruso's role and Reaves playing KCP's role. Remember, we were the #3 defense in 2020, the #1 in 2021 and up on Phoenix in the 2021 playoffs until AD got hurt.

    The offense was good before the deadline and got better. Keep the defense on point with the last three games or better and we are at max potential and can beat anyone in a series, healthy.

    Javelle couldn't cover Jokic though. But, Howard could.

  8. Personally I think Troy brown should be there he is a better 3 and d player than reaves I see reaves more as a point guard

  9. Whatever the lineup be sure that Rui is going to leave if he doesnt play enough minutes.. In LA there is still this believe that everybody wants to stay here.. but it is far to be true..

  10. Nothing has changed but the time, the Lakers will continue to lose regardless, always hype is simply wishful thinking and you know this,

  11. Vandolorian really making me a fan of his, didn't watch him too much but man I like players like him, I just love guys who do everything defensively bcuz defense nowadays is underrated and underappreciated. I always say defense wins games and I'll continue to say that until proven wrong. If lakers can all give at least effort on D then they'll be dangerous

  12. I’d like to see a defensive lineup of Dennis, Lebron, Vando, AD, Bamba. Dennis can chase the point guard and AD and Vando on wings. Then you have Lebron in the passing lanes with Bamba protecting the rim.

  13. I think Beasley will get the closing spot if he's hot. If he's cold from 3, then you go defense heavy with either Reaves or Schroeder depending on the matchup.

  14. I hope that after all-star break they will cooperate with each other and the team reaches it up to 16-7 or 17-6. That's Tough. Go Lakers to playoffs zone.

  15. I know that this is irrelevant to the topic but the one thing that bothered me a bit during the Pelicans game was how little minutes Walker got.
