    Finally- they land on the correct starting lineup ... Finally !!!
    I've been a proponent of this starting lineup since offseason .. Infact with either Rui or Vando at 3...
    The balance Max brings to the starting lineup esp on the defensive side of the ball and rebounding + activity/ energy is a significant differentiator....
    Also we forget he's 21 and has room to develop further .... He can absolutely easily be the next Danny Green...a quintessential winning player ... whose boxscores will never leap off the page.

      @markcepeda8144 yes both key role players who contribute to winning.... Although Avery Bradley was small 6ft ish.... But Green and Max are 6-6+ and Max is actually taller... That's why I consider Max more like Green... And Max is already a way better shooter than Bradley ever was

    Something that nobody is talking about is how when dalton was hitting almost every shot the Lakers couldnt lose
    If they can get a volume shooter like cam Johnson then the lakers will look similar to their 6th game win streak
    Lebron needs a guy he can dump the ball off to and hit a wide open catch and shoot three the lakers havent had one of those since 2020

    14:10 been saying this if lebron would just allow himself to become a juiced up role player we'd be so much better for it. just limit his minutes and he could be like a mega draymond green averaging 21, 11 and 7. Id much rather have that than high scoring games that come at the cost of him being tired. you can always go to him in the clutch when we need it anyway.

    Good/Great Win:
    • Great Team Defense!!!
    • AD was a Monster on Both Ends - We play better when the Ball 🏀 goes thru AD!!!
    • We need LBJ to continue to play within Our Offensive Schemes (No ISO Ball) and put as much Effort in on Defense as He does on Offense!!!
    • After AD, MaxC & Cam are Our Best 2-Way Players whom can give US Good-Great Defense & 7-10 Points each a Night.

  • @OrangeSunset-CrashingWaves
    @OrangeSunset-CrashingWaves 24 дні тому

    Seems more and more clear they need a third scorer, who can also create, and spread the floor. To allow Lebron to do a little less on offense, to allow AD to do a little less on offense. To alleviate the shooting and scoring inconsistency from other role players. So far Cam Johnson and Lavine seem to fit what they need on some level. The defense has improved all around but the shooting and spacing has not.

    On Dee Max covered AR, Bron and Rui were competent. Cam was allowed to flourish in his role with Gabe and Koloko being good cogs in the wheel. D4 literally is the ROY front runner and can’t find sufficient opportunities in the offense, sad and ironic, but as long as DLo is on a short leach I can’t be too mad at JJ. Who did well on offense is nice and makes for one game praise then criticism when that drys up, AD and Bron will do the heavy lifting they just need help on defense. Kudos to Max this game for carrying his weight just don’t rate him or the next role guy that hits a few shots on anything but competency on defense, individual and team. I’ve sang this song from game one If more join the choir this team has a chance to be decent, get a significant trade and maybe even dark horse contenders.

    The Lakers front office has to be the worst in NBA history. You have two superstar players. That can give you 30+ points a game. You mean to tell the Lakers front office can’t find another third wheel player to pair with Bron & AD. This team can’t win shit with this current backcourt. LeBron can’t pick up the slack from players like he use to do.

N also very noticeable how u reduce Cam to jus an offensively limited player, but wen it comes to Max, u give examples n circumstances wen Max culd b better offensively.

    • @rodeljohnson2144
      @rodeljohnson2144 24 дні тому +1

      If Cam is giving you the same as Max, then why play Cam. The Lakers invested in Max, he is younger player, and other teams might want him in a trade because he is on a cheap contract. Cam is already the player he is going to be. No one is going to trade for him other than getting an expiring contract. Darvin waisted a development year for Max because he favored Reddish. Reddish should be a better player by now. Reddish was picked #8. He is clearly a bust.

    Again, they don't do the switching a lot because they want to. They have to. You have to be athletic and strong to be good on defense in pick and rolls. And Lakers aren't either. They lose their guy on pick and rolls almost every time. That's why the other guy goes ahead and switch. Bottom line is we can make all the excuses and say they should do this or that. But this is the same team from a season and a half ago. What really do we expect out of that 😂😂
