Perk acts like he use to avg 25 and 10 with 3 blocks
Great analogy perk “Don’t applaud a fish for swimming”
This Perk will be off the show soon! 😂
We cant sit up here and applaud a fish for swimming 😆😆
They are when ad is there defense is a key .scoring gin the paint and moving the ball in tradition
Perk is probably top 5 worst analyst on tv
can you guys talk about something other then the laker smfh
they were injured during those 500 teams tho. They have played better once dennis and bryant came back. Not a lot but this panel leaning too much on the 500 loses acting like they were the same team now
Lets not forget that game against the bucks was real good
In a 7 game series the Lakers will be a problem
This team was assembled for WHAT?
Keep it all the way a buck Perk!
I think it’s a sign of what this team could be. They clearly weren’t healthy vs the Cavs and Raptors and could’ve easily been 5-1 on that road trip. Not to mention that they’re doing this running a 3 point guard line up (4 or 5 if you could Reaves and Lebron). It gets your excited if what it could be if you move a few pieces here and there but I agree with Perk. If they ain’t above .500, then there’s not point talking about them
I agree perk just do it
Perf finally stopped being biased & start calling it how we all see it
Perk be doing to much sometimes 🙄
Why is Perkins still on tv? He’s got no idea
That's why LBJ is not the GOAT, he can't carry this team even with 3 future HOF
Yo i swear perking be a dry hater sometimes be🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
If the Lakers can find a way to get Bogdanvic they'll be deadly
Big Perk has played with some legend. He is just simply asking for actions not words.
Bold prediction: Lakers turn around the season and win 45+ games and get to the finals
If I'm right then im gonna buy a lottery ticket
They beat the bucks perk? Lol you see that game?
Lakers will finish 8th and lose in the first round.
What do these cats get paid for? Lol they started their season terrible then went on a run and beat the BUCKS… They've beat NO and DEN as well.. they CAN beat a good team any given night just not in a series with this roster…
AD wasn’t playing in two of those games and he just came back from a flu…they are nothing without AD
Three more weeks Perk gone be right back on the Lakers
Lol! What is AD supposed to say?
chimey😩😩😩
Lakers had new coach and system, 9 + new players to start so they struggled at first vs teams with continuity and chemistry plus they had health issues. Now is stage 2, 26 games into the season. Identity starting to show and win more games. As long as health is ok and they continue to improve with each game, this team can make the playoffs. A trade or two will ensure making a push towards playoffs.
Man shut up perk they can definitely beat anybody
The lakers new identity MUST be:
1. Play through AD
2. Play tough defense for 48 min
3. Make teams pay at the FT line
To any lakers fan you guys are beating teams u are supposed to. Y’all are still not doing nothing this year so get out ur head and be ready to send wembam to my pels
Wow, congrats lakers nation, yall currently the 13th seed🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my mistake, 12th seed. Lakers went 3-3 on their road trip.
Alternative player's facts🤣🤣🤣 Spin that narrative to make lebron look good at AGE 38. WOW. 38.
And AD is starting to play like like like AD. What the heck does that even mean… AD is starting to play like AD. You mean, he's finally not in street clothes🤣🤣🤣
And just expect AD getting hurt soon🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷♂️ it's inevitable. THAT'S AD BEING AD.
When we are talking about Lakers I don't think we should talk about first 12 games of the season when it comes to stats. They got new coach, 9 new players, some problems injuries, and now that they fixed a lot of those issues, they are finally playing really good. In last 14 games they are 9-5, and if they had little bit more luck they could have been 11-3. Also two of those loses came when Bron and AD were injured.
Like it's easy to say that they are shooting 32% from 3 for the season, but in last 14 games they are around 35%, which is not the best in NBA but is average, and for team that scores majority of their points in paint, that's pretty good.
My point is that they are getting better with every game, and if we keep talking about stats and not excluding first 12 games, where they were historically bad, we would not see full picture. In NBA it does not matter how good you are for a whole season, it only matter how good you are in the end.
By being 12th seed in the west? I swear in LeBrons playing days losing gets more credit than winning
Half of the team is new with 2 players coming back from year long injuries. The Lakers were obvs going to lose most of their first 20 games. Since going 2-10 they've been trending very well, actually. We just beat the bucks and pushed the sixers into overtime with AD in foul trouble the whole game…and this roster is STILL growing chemistry on top of not having made a trade yet. People really don't know what they're talking about when it comes to the lakers this year….jus watch.
Lakers start winning now they don’t wanna talk about Russ hmm very interesting
Edit: spoke a lil too soon but they still basically skipped over him only mentioned him for like 10 seconds
This dialogue should of been said differently no one wants them In a seven game chess game
Thank you Perk 🤦🏿♂️
This team are old, stupid and they suck! They can't beat any of the elite or even average teams in the league…
Hold this L
HAil the near last place LAKERS!!! LMFAO… Chuck was right about the Lakers… I hope they turn it around before it's too late.
They got off to bad start, and he is saying he is confident that can beat anyone. That’s the correct attitude to have. Duh. Bad take from perk
