I'm a basketball fan for about 20+ years and after these 2 goaltending calls I started to think I don't know basketball rules, because I cannot believe refs don't know it. I want to hear an official explanation.
I don't think Rui needs to be on the bench. He is the kind of player that you can tell how good he will play in the first 10 minutes of the first quarter. If he has is going, play him more. If not, DFS can play more minutes than him.
Yup, his basketball IQ is just not there, he makes some dumb plays. When he’s not hitting 3s he’s really got no reason to be out there other than to give the starters some rest.
Shine? This was portland 😂.. no one is over 22 years old .. they pressured a little more than the other teams we’ve played n AR struggled.. AR at PG in the playoffs is red a flag 😂.. lets not even talk about defense 😂
It doesn’t matter, DFS needs to start to get the best out of him. Rui doesn’t get enough touches with reaves LeBron and ad, let him come off the bench as the 6th man and let him go to work in the post
The guy that averages 2 points in a Lakers Jersey and totals 1 steal in 2 games. That "wing defender" slow PF that brings intangibles that don't show up on the box score, because they don't get counted or more likely actually never happened? That guy?
@MikeLowry-uu3je Plus/minus is a terrible tool for evaluating individual performance. If you or I were on the floor when other players were hitting all kinds of shots, we'd get a good plus/minus too. Trevor calls Gabe "Cardio Gabe" - DFS is that x10.
14:47 without DLo, our bench scoring is too dependent on DK4. Rui is bigger and an actual scoring threat. You can run plays for him, find mismatches, etc. DFS and Max can be a 1-2 punch defensively with AD patrolling the paint.
Starting DFS at the 3 makes the most sense. When Rui isn’t making shots he’s not very effective because his ball handling is atrocious and he’s not quick enough to stay in front of his matchup
Sheesh..What has DFS done so far to deserve a role that Rui’s earned for 2 seasons plus several playoff series? As far as “ball handling is atrocious and he’s not quick enough to stay in front…” sounds like someone else but not going there 😂
@ well If you watched the lakers the last two years especially in the playoffs then you’d know that Rui is the definition of inconsistent. And he’s more of an in between position he gets bullied by centers and he isn’t quick enough to stay infront if guards or even quicker wings. In the short time DFS has played for the lakers you can see how good of an on ball defender he is which Rui never was
@ Rui had one bad series (vs Denver) because Ham tasked him to cover the Joker! It literally took all his energy. Good luck with a smaller DFS trying to defend a switch against good and bigger teams. If AR, Max, DFS, and Bron are on the floor (with AD), opposing teams would be camping out on our paint singing, “Take me home country roads..” 😂🤣
@@DaxPlayer828 DFS is one inch shorter so it’s almost no difference… DFS like I said is a much better defender so having him on the court will make the lakers a much better defensive team
Max has been great! He just needs to keep that confidence up & be aggressive at times. We need another ball handler who can attack other than AR too. Maybe DSJ or Fultz
Does Malcolm Brogdon have the same affect Jrue Holiday had when he was traded to Milwaukee and Boston? If so Lakers need to trade for Brogdon immediately and become title contenders.
BOTH Goal Tending calls (early on Jax, late on Rui) were 2 of THE ABSOLUTE WORST calls I've seen in real time, much less both being upheld upon review....as was the missed review on the DFS call. UNBELIEVABLY EGREGIOUS officiating, IMHO
Didnt all see it coming? Caruso, BI, Kuz, Hart, Lonzo, Clarkson, DLo, Randle, Reeves; they've always drafted well so Max ain't no shock and Dalton is next. In spite of his shortcomings the overall defensive numbers with this team should now rise as more return and the starting lineup fluidly depends on matchups but it's the closing lineup that matters most. Once whole, they'll be lethal. Remember, they usually play better as the season progresses and last season they were one the hottest teams going into the playoffs as they were for the WCF run. If this holds true, who wouldn't love a renewal of Celtics-Lakers for the all time tie.
Lakers do not draft well. Most of those guys were drafted high and are busts or no where near as good as they were expected to be. Lakers draft decent later on but since Kobe they have sucked at drafting such is why they were a joke for years until LeBron came and resurrected the franchise
I don't understand how the DFS foul can't be overturned even without assigning a foul to the defense. He was pushed. He didn't foul the shooter due to it. Just make that ruling.
Kessler is the biggest impact guy we could get right now. Really like the idea of stacking Rui, Gabe & draft capital to get Josh Green, Mann & Cody Martin. Our team would be full of young high motor athletes that can play both sides of the ball
Horrific calls after reviewing it! That is embarrassing for the league in General. Something has to be done about this. It was so blatant to call a fouls on DFS for being clearly shoved into the shooter while he came to a standstill! I thought I was gonna break my TV for a second
3 missed reviews in this game wth … after the last one I actually said out loud “what the F are we doing here” and the camera cut to LBJ and he said the exact same thing lol. Only thing I’m glad of is that when JJ was rightly incensed they didn’t T him up. I was waiting for them to add insult to injury by adding the tech
On the lineup, I think Rui should stay starting and hopefully have high trade value. DFS seems to be playing well with Milton, so let them come on the floor together. At least for a few more weeks let it stay as is, and then by the end of January you can evaluate how to move forward.
The only centers Lakers should pursue is Kessler or Richards...Rui has been too inconsistent...can't be the starting 3 having so many single point games...
The officials were absolutely terrible and so was the officials revealing the golden calls.if helps the Lakers will be sending clips of all the bad calls to the league office today
Reaves- Caruso Christie- KCP DFS- Green Bron AD Rui- Morris Gabe- Avery Dalton- Kuzma Vando- Morris JHS- THT Just need a Playoff Rondo and a McGee/ Dwight morph
@vincebodney4694 No way - AR would destroy Caruso 1-on-1. Caruso doesn't have much of an offensive bag - AR is much more skilled and versatile on offense and also a better ball-handler than Caruso. He's a good defender but AR would put the moves on him and drill 3's too.
If you want to go all in why not Jimmy Butler. He’s younger than Lebron. Imagine playoff Jimmy, playoff Lebron, playoff AD and playoff Austin. Risky I know, but isn’t that a legit contender?
Love AR but I think we should get a good backup ball handler, like say Sexton or Brown, not because he's been bad but because he's going to burnout eventually or teams are going to learn how to slow him down (since we don't have many ball handlers) Ideally you get Kessler (idc at this point, send both picks if necessary, I'd overpay rn) and one of either guard (Sexton for O, Brown for D)
Austin is not being picked on he taking the brute and keeping Max on the perimeter. A lot of looking picked on is I think AR is taking a Mamba Mentally and showing opposing team he won make it easy for them to always beat the Lakers when AD isn’t in the game. -Think about it
I don’t think this team needs a PG anymore, Austin has been amazing with his playmaking. Couple turnovers here and there but the court vision has been great.
@ he Is now. Cant play him and a traditional PG together cause they’ll have defensive limitations. He’s good where he’s at now, Lebrons the de facto PG anyway🤷🏽♂️
@@justthisguy1948 the team is struggling because there’s not enough defense, size, and consistent shooting. You get that by running Austin at the 1 and the addition of DFS is doing wonders for them, just not showing up on the box score
@@justthisguy1948 any PG you get that’s not a two way star to pair with Austin will be the same as him and Dlo and we saw how that turned out. Not sure if you’ve been watching the games besides looking at stats but the way Austin is finding guys and running certain sets he’s certainly can run the Point guard spot. Then in crunch time you let Lebron run the ball
Rui,Wood,JHS,& 2 first rounders for Cam Johnson and Day’Ron Sharpe. Lakers must go all in and this is the final trade imo for them to make. Starting 5 would be: Reaves,Christie or DFS if they wanna play big,Johnson,Bron,&AD😮🔥🔥🔥. That’s a great starting 5. Bench would be Vincent,DK,DFS,Vando,&Sharpe😮🔥🔥🔥 great bench as well imo with reddish and Milton getting some minutes too. That’s a championship team that can really compete for a couple of chips imo. Lakers/Pelinka has to be aggressive and out bid okc for Cam Johnson somehow to maximize the last few LeBron years and possibly AD years as well assuming he demands a trade if things aren’t going good and Bron is retired….
Looks like the Lakers are setting themselves up for a Kessler trade. Rui and Vincent and a first for Kessler. Rui has reached his peak and it's not very high. If Smith works out on the D end, you have the makings of a decent team.
I’m sick of hearing about how the things DFS does that don’t show up in the box score already. He was supposed to be a 2 way player. We have guys that do great things off the ball already. They are all one way players though. This guy seems like more of the same thing.
@ True I am going early on this one. However all the talk was he is a two way player when the lakers were targeting him. The moment he arrived the talk changed about how he does all the 1 percent things and won’t affect the box score. We have those guys. We need a guy who can do all those things and score at a decent level too. I don’t think he is that at all. Maybe I’m wrong and he can average 12 points and do all the other things. But if he is another single digit scorer who plays d are the lakers any better. Was it worth our only large expiring contract. The only piece we could use if a serious trade was to happen. I hope so.
@@kerry7051 i get what ur saying, but when u have two top 12 players in the world plus austin who is averages 22 since his injury, bucket getters aren’t really what u need, 3&D is what u need. so i dont expect or need dfs to score 12 every night, matter of fact, i know he won’t, all i need from him on the offensive end is to at least be above 38% from 3 so he’s a threat and can space the floor and hit 3s at a consistent level. the reason someone like vando is a 1 way player and dfs isn’t, in the context of this team atleast, is more so the fact that dfs is actually a threat from outside and creates space which is exactly what lebron and ad needs.
@@kerry7051bro guys like DFS aren’t going to wow you with their box score stats, he’s like a KCP, KCP only averages 9 points but he does things that don’t show up in the box score.
i feel like if we trade gabe away for a defensive guard, we don’t really upgrade much, especially if we give up assets for them too. yes gabe has been underwhelming but if he continue to bring his shot back, he does fit that 3&D guard off the bench role
Max Christie! Being on the court for your defense but dropping 28 has to be recognised. Also loved what I saw from Koloko tonight. 100% agree with Trevor on the Rui/DFS point. I think it’ll make the decision easier for JJ when DFS gets settled here.
Christie seems to only shoot when he is open. The kid doesn’t force shots, so he is probably just as open as Knecht. Knecht needs to start knocking down his 3s because his defense is non existent. He is worst than Dlo on defense. No resistance from this guy.
Who ever said bench lakers good players agaisnt the blazers is a Moron haha these are NBA teams and pro athletes they can all hoop even the bad team like the blazers will beat you if you show up with a Gleague team
Her go yall wishy-washy Lakers wanted to trade yall players. Yall wanted to trade Austin now look at him. Yall wanted to trade Max now look at him. Now Rui just had a godd season so far, just because he had a bad two games yall talking about trading the guy. Just like how yall wanted to trade Lebron because of 4 bad straight games. Now look at Lebron. Yall are the most Wishy-washy fan base I have ever seen/came across. Smh
Nobody said DLo couldn’t score but having DLo and Reaves on the same team is redundant, they are both offensive minded guards that can’t defend, you don’t need two guys like that.
@CarlosGutierrez-qw6pr Go look at his career stats - they're very underwhelming. And I've been watching, reading about and analyzing NBA basketball since 1990 - you're the casual.

Yup, his basketball IQ is just not there, he makes some dumb plays. When he’s not hitting 3s he’s really got no reason to be out there other than to give the starters some rest.
Max has taken over that Vando role. Which is allowing Austin to shine, even if his defense isn't all there.

From a guard level, sure. Vando was clamping all the big guards though, I’ll never forget that Mavs game where he removed Luka from the offense.
So you guys like him now? He was getting roasted a few weeks ago.
@@upfulsoul826 there’s a lot of casuals in this fanbase.

Max Christie! Being on the court for your defense but dropping 28 has to be recognised. Also loved what I saw from Koloko tonight.
100% agree with Trevor on the Rui/DFS point. I think it’ll make the decision easier for JJ when DFS gets settled here.
Darvin Ham is a criminal
He's definitely an idiot
I wanna come on the show
Masterlock the dirty refs
Dalton is being ignored by Christie, and Reaves when hes wide open. That shit need to stop.
It really be Austin like he don’t want him to score
Cause dalton trash
@@justthisguy1948
You don't know basketball, kid.
Christie seems to only shoot when he is open. The kid doesn’t force shots, so he is probably just as open as Knecht. Knecht needs to start knocking down his 3s because his defense is non existent. He is worst than Dlo on defense. No resistance from this guy.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Who ever said bench lakers good players agaisnt the blazers is a Moron haha these are NBA teams and pro athletes they can all hoop even the bad team like the blazers will beat you if you show up with a Gleague team
I would trade reeves and dalton before Rui I think that’s the only way we get a quality player in a trade 🎉
Reaves should be almost untouchable
@@karanvirgill9013reaves at PG in the playoffs is a red flag waiting to happen lol .. i can only imagine how he’s going to look tomorrow..
@@karanvirgill9013 What if it's Fox or Lamelo? I'd do it then without thinking twice.
Reeves has a high trade value, right now. For Fox it would be worth it.
@Trevor_Lane
Sexton is a better defender than Reeves...
Her go yall wishy-washy Lakers wanted to trade yall players. Yall wanted to trade Austin now look at him. Yall wanted to trade Max now look at him. Now Rui just had a godd season so far, just because he had a bad two games yall talking about trading the guy. Just like how yall wanted to trade Lebron because of 4 bad straight games. Now look at Lebron. Yall are the most Wishy-washy fan base I have ever seen/came across. Smh
Dfs lookin like a waste
Casual
After 2 games. Really guys?
The hat w the shirt. What r we doing. Dressed by MAGA 😅
Were DLo's cramps menstrual???
2/9 AR games need to stop or bench him forever
Learn basketball, casual.
@@dmitryowens go check how many games you lost because AR cant shoot open 3s vs the games l;akers won because he balled, casual.
Casual
DK+Rui + 2 1sts for Butler
DLo outscored the new guys against a better team than the Blazers. There's no excuses if JJ's hires don't work out.
Nobody said DLo couldn’t score but having DLo and Reaves on the same team is redundant, they are both offensive minded guards that can’t defend, you don’t need two guys like that.
DLO could walk and the Lakers would get nothing for him. The team had no choice but trade him.
Dlo humiliated Darwin
DFS trash 😂😂😂😂
Shake is Lonnie walker 2.0
Nah. Lonnie is better.
DFS is garbage. He only shot well on a terrible tanking team.
Casual
@CarlosGutierrez-qw6pr
Go look at his career stats - they're very underwhelming. And I've been watching, reading about and analyzing NBA basketball since 1990 - you're the casual.
It’s obvious LeBron took a peds vacation during that 8 day breaks he’s a totally different player right now way more energetic and spry.
so just natural rest won't give you more energy? stupid MJ lover
you think so fr ? 😂
@ remember how washed LeBron was looking weeks ago? Takes that legendary break comes back super charged 😂😂😂
Bro you don’t have to take 8 days off to take peds 😂.
None of you know how peds works
they were both goaltends. stop bitching
They were goal tends. Stop bitching.
@@kuyab9122
"Goaltend" is one word, not two.
@@dmitryowens They were still GOALTENDS. GOALTENDS. GOALTENDS. I hope that makes you a happy human now.
They weren’t
@kuyab9122
No they weren't - especially Rui's block. You're just a casual and a Laker hater.
Rui needs to go
Knecht needs to shoot more. I don’t think he is getting in any rhythm. I think he is being ignored a bit when he is open.
