Not sure if this game was the team not playing well or them sleep walking.
They honestly haven't looked that good in most their games this bubble.
Which could be a cause for a concern.. or not because the team is built is for the playoffs they have loads of experience and there strictly a veteran team.
This level of play will get us upset in round 1 against Portland.
Definitely 2019, but I don’t think there gonna play like this, if they do it wouldn’t only be the Blazers that would upset them but the Pelicans as well.

No urgency.....I don't like the team doing interviews without N95 masks or it's equivalent. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Starting to look like this team will need a 40+ pt game from either AD or Lebron every game. Can't remember the last time Lebron looked this sloppy offensively.
Because it hasn't happened. He looks old and tired. This is a 35 year old Lebron. This is the new normal.
It's starting to look like LeBron just isn't that effective in a halfcourt game.
When the pace speeds up, he's still arguably the best. But when we're forced to play halfcourt ball, LeBron just pounds the ball and jacks up 3s. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

His quickness against set defenses has really declined...doesn’t help that our shooters don’t punish teams for helping on Lebron drives

I feel like he was slower than his peak even during the first Miami finals series against Dallas. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
It's preseason guys and gals Once they clinched their seeding they are going to try things and see how they work. Most of the shooters are short, meaning legs. They got a little more time to get their legs under them but not a lot. Not worried about LBJ and AD, but shooting is. Hopefully they figure it out before the playoffs start.
I have some concerns, but the media reaction is funny.
Imo it’s pretty clear the Lakers aren’t too interested in these seeding games. They only took the clippers one seriously. The win over the Jazz was all AD.
The Lakers we see for these 8 games isn’t what we will see in the playoffs. The only concern is guys just finding their rhythm and shots, but they clearly are going through the motions of extended preseason.
One of my main concerns is the sustainability of Waiters and JR.
One thing we could count on was AB’s sustainability and even Rondo with all his shortcomings.
Waiters and JR just don’t seem like consistent, sustain type players. Just tough to be down AB, he is another reliable guard with few mistakes in his game.
Waiters will be a roller coaster and JR not sure he can really provide much at this stage of his career.
That’s 2 roster spots...makes it more challenging. I’m sure Waiters will help, but he will also hurt.
