I think Lakers have the weakest bench rotations in the NBA, starting when Drummond go out up to the time he goes in again.
Seldom I see we beat opponents bench, usually that is the time that the opponent is going to catch them if Lakers are leading or pull away if opponents is leading.
It's frustrating, because on paper, clearly, the Lakers has one of the best bench lineup, too bad Vogel is not using it properly. They are using them out of position. Like Wes as PF, Markieff/Harrell as froncourt tandem and many more.
Small ball is use because team's want to play faster and want to have spacing. But I don't know what is Lakers small ball. Playing a small center who clogged the paint on offense and can't defend it.
Vogels rotations are not that good. To be honest, I don't even feel he's that good of a coach and I wouldn't extend him. That's just how I feel though. As it stands now, without Lebron the Lakers are not that good, lottery team, and doesn't have good IQ on the floor; in the starting or on the bench, unless we play Gasol.

You mean having Montrezell “6th Man of the Year” Harrell does not lead to having a good bench? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Bench has no playmaker, stagnant offense, just watching harrell to do his thing in offense. Meanwhile on defense, it's time to harrell to watch his teammates defend, he's just chilling in defense, layups galore, no paint resistance of whatsover, like an unknown center like Grifford is having a party in there. smh

You take Lebron out of any Lebron team and they usually struggle. Its not really fair. Build the team after Lebron then make that call.
Aside from LBJ, we have no legit playmaker. Dennis is being forced into that role. THT isn't ready. No one is organizing that 2nd unit (i.e. Ben Mac taking 16 shots as a bench player, often not even looking to pass). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
I mean it’s not that weak personnel wise. The players aren’t all pulling in the same direction.
You also have Vogel doing his best Luke impression with questionable rotations. I know he wants to see what works and doesn’t work, but it’s go time with Dallas and Portland right there.

Gasol is a good playmaker, and he did a good job with that bench, I think he is the lone total positive +/- in that crew, but got benched

We're talking about bench player, Lebron aint no bench player, not unless he's gonna play 48 minutes so he can play with those bench combinations. lol
