    I agree. Lakers there is no hope for that team. Sixers have more talent for sure but they just don't know how to play together yet or even play team defense..

    My hope is that Westbrook is the last of the 100% athleticism 0% skill era players. He's basically an undersized Josh Smith at this point.

    They are mic'd up. Some wear 3 mic's clipped to their shirt. Of course... speaking to the control center... wherever it's at... New Jersey? But, we'll never get to listen to the audio.

    You're posting a snippet of my post without context and giving a pedantic reply? Mic'd up for the viewing audience. If they're going to waste people's time with all this video review then have it transparent at least.

    Darvin Ham says we don't have time for people to be in their feelings so Westbrick sitting out with a hamstring injury.

    His hamstring was working well enough for him to brick a midranger in the final half minute of the loss to the Blazers but it must have flared up on the off-day

    I wonder if Ham told him you aren't playing in crunch time any longer

    Like Ben Simmons faking mental illness.....

    Lakers' problems go beyond Westbrook- mainly they just do not have any shooters

    Let's see how they fare tonight. I still say Nuggets smash them

    I don't think their shooting is too bad without Westbrick -Nunn can shoot. Need Schroder back though... someone to support James on the perimeter.

    He could shoot but that was over a year ago. He's been dreadful to start and dreadful this game. Beverley's shooting fell off considerably last year too from consistent 37-40% to 34%. Davis might be even worse from 3 than Westbrook. Rest are a bunch of unproven guys or hurt

    You're going by a 3 game sample? He shot well in the exhibitions... Needs to be in the starting lineup with James & Davis generating better looks for him. Then a good 6th man off the bench (not Westbrick).

    I've never paid too much attention to percentages when it comes to 3pt shooting. I'm sure I've seen guys like Rondo & Jeff Teague shoot high percentages.... have to consider what shots they're passing up and what shots they're taking.

    Not much else to go by when he's sat out for over a year. His shot looks awful to me and he's coming to a team with zero spacing

    I mean they're giving minutes to a 27 year old career G Leaguer specifically because he can shoot a little

    That should tell you everything right there

    Not giving him enough mins. I like Berverly & Reaves but you can't start them together. Lakers don't quite have enough either way but they don't make things easy on themselves with their GM/ coaching decisions. Westbrick should have been on the bench from game 1 of the exhibitions, not wait until you're 4 games down.

    Westbrook must be so happy with this loss. This can only reinforce his delusions like the loss to GLeague Portland did last year

    LAL (Laughing at Lakers) were 40 for 90 tonight from the field.
    Yeah, that's about right.

    Lakers as a team are second to dead last in the NBA in pretty much every offensive category.
    I'm pretty sure this isn't what Lebron envisioned this team would look like.

    Its early. The lakers played the Warriors, Clippers, Blazers, and Nuggets. That's 3 of the top 4 teams in the west and another team that's undefeated.

    The Lakers don't need to be the best to make the playoffs. They only have to be better than the 4 tanking teams (Utah, Houston, OKC, San Antonio) and the Kings.

    The Blazers are not undefeated. Don't you have to be able to beat these teams though? Isn't that the point of making the playoffs ?

    The roster as it's currently constructed has zero chances of winning a title

    Fading the Lakers for the last 4 games so far has gotten me paid. I love fading the Lakers this year.

    The lines are gonna adjust soon though, this gift ride so far will not last for much longer as the line adjustments will catch up. I project it to be for 5-7 more games tops.

    As long as Brick stays healthy, seems to be a good angle.

    Line opened at plus 8.5 for their game in Minny tonight. Now plus 6.5. Might say the lines have already adjusted... so will they be getting blown out on the road is the question.....

    Davis is questionable tonight. I think he doesn't want to go against Gobert & Towns. He hates playing centre

    Always injuries with these Lakers.

    Lines are adjusting rapidly. Still I'm sure they lose by 10 or more tonight.
