Passive DLo that plays off ball is the absolute worst DLo. Exact same thing that happened in the WCF and then in December and now. This one has been building since ASB. He’s been off ball but was so lights out from 3 it didn’t matter. He was eventually going to lose rhythm with that too and here we are.


He is still allowed to play defense


What defensive scheme Ham running?


Guard your man?? Pretty simple


Man to Man? The best solution is to allow his man to drive to the center as no real PG is a defensive stalwart. Fake the inside and move off his man to prevent the dish kickoff in the corner. There hasnt been a lockdown PG since the 90s..shout out to GP.

Thennnn put him back on ball so he gets his shot back..this stuff is not rocket science..smh.


DLO has the ball, however he passes the ball back to Bron. DLO doesn’t have a jump shot, or the ability to attack the basket. He has a set shot, which is hard to shoot when he’s on the ball.

Thats one of the problems..if DLO not able to hit the three then LBJ and DLO needs to be staggard its simple. ALSO NO STUPID 3 gaurd lineup of DLO SPENC GAbe and PRince as PF..that sh.. is stupid. Its just a death flag on offense and defense...this stuff is too smple to see and fix.

Also pick and roll with Davis will get him to the middle to shoot mid or assist to davis..its just will Ham sit AD to prevent that?...smh.

Billups was pretty damn good in Detroit - he WAS their best point of attack defender on those Pistons within the starting 5, their real best POA defender was Lindsey Hunter.

Baron Davis was real good as well when he actually tried with his lateral quickness and low center of gravity with excellent quickness.

You shoutout GP. His running mate Nate McMillan was almost as good as him as POA defender and actually much better than GP as a team defender within the Sonics trapping scheme. McMillan was actually like Horry - a genius-level team defender. Dont believe me? Check his DBPM. It actually fits the eye test and its astonishing. Yet, despite all this.....nothing could prevent their single-handed demolition at the hands of Nick Van Exel - who GP never talked (bleep) to again. Whats funny is small guards like Van Exel were the ones that were supposed to struggle against the physicality of GP and McMillan. Hell he did a number on THE Kevin Johnson who used to destroy the Lakers like it was his personal business.

The caollapse of the lock down PG to me was due to the "no hand check" rule. You see when we played Detroit in the playoffs? GP was fouling everytime because of that stupid rule...You couldnt really blame him because he had played in that system all his career..it was sad to implement that rule on his last year of his career. However that to me was the begginiing of the end of Guard defense.

Still in a slump offensively. Was happy with the 10 assists and the block late in the game of course.

Hope he's getting this slump out of the way now and by the time the play-in/playoffs start he's back on track. Hoping the same for Reaves as well whom has been in a slump from three as of late.

I really hope they just get rid of Three in the Key. Then you'll start to see some real defensive schemes and the NBA will get a taste of what true zone defense is.

Ham has tried to help DLO. Remember when the Lakers were in the zone defense. DLO has the easiest defensive assignment every game.


Remember Ron Artest or Metta World last Year here? They lost in the play offs and what West said is that its not that the guys arent trying to defense but they simple cant. What he meant is that their age..old legs. Instead of making a scheme to adjust for that ..we simply didnt....to mean if you know your PG is slow on D. Then tell him to drive his Oponent inside and rush over to the side to prevent the kickout or you play play a helper thats fast enough to help out and move back to his own man (cough) VAndo.. We dont have Vando sooo..its Gabe or force the PG inside to the Center and rush to the outside for deny a kickout 3.

Ron was washed. DLo is in his prime. Artest was defensive player of the year in his prime

They run the pick and roll. DLO doesn’t have the speed to turn the corner or jump shot like Jamaal Murray. DLO will usually just send AD a bounce pass.

What scares me is that stupid 3 lineup of DLO/GABE/SPEN/Prince ..that doesnt help any of those guys...Spenc nor Gabe not no stand in the corner 3pt shooter. Spence and Dlo need the ball...and even on a drive who you kicking the ball out to? Dlo in a 3pt slump and Gabe dont have no 3pt..nevermind Prince..smh. Who creating a pick and you doing a kick out to who?..its just stupid. To help the slump is Stagger LBJ and DLO until Dlo back in his groove. with actual people that can make a 3pt shot ie RUI or MAX or AR even...till then making him a 3D is stupid at best.

No i have seen him go inside plenty of times..He not going all the way to the basket to make a layups like D Fox or Shro ...but he has a herky jerky putting the PG on his Hip to either make a assist to the Center or pull up for a midrange.

They run the pick and roll. DLO doesn’t have the speed to turn the corner or jump shot like Jamaal Murray. DLO will usually just send AD a bounce pass.


No i have seen him go inside plenty of times..He not going all the way to the basket to make a layups like D Fox or Shro ...but he has a herky jerky putting the PG on his Hip to either make a assist to the Center or pull up for a midrange.


He needs to go to the rack hard, make players foul him. I want to see him get to the free throw line.

Wow, if there is one Laker of ours that desperately needs his narrative to change, it's DLo. A number of us have been saying variations of this for awhile now:

There weren't many complaints about DLo's offense last year in the regular season. However, his potent scoring and play making abilities will only matter if he can perform when it matters most (which failed spectacularly against the Nuggets in the 2023 WCF).

tl;dr: Now do it in the playoffs.


As we enter into playoff season where every game matters, classic DLo is making a disappointing comeback.

Our best shooter shooting less than 10 threes a game?

What sense does that make?

Solid playmaking. Poor shooting. Not a good game. But not a horrible one either.

We will need his scoring come playoff time. But he's had alot more good games than bad this season. So I'm not worried.

What scares me is that stupid 3 lineup of DLO/GABE/SPEN/Prince ..that doesnt help any of those guys...Spenc nor Gabe not no stand in the corner 3pt shooter. Spence and Dlo need the ball...and even on a drive who you kicking the ball out to? Dlo in a 3pt slump and Gabe dont have no 3pt..nevermind Prince..smh. Who creating a pick and you doing a kick out to who?..its just stupid. To help the slump is Stagger LBJ and DLO until Dlo back in his groove. with actual people that can make a 3pt shot ie RUI or MAX or AR even...till then making him a 3D is stupid at best.


And the thing is, that lineup isn't even necessary, all Ham has to do is play Christie -_-

DLo has shown enough for me. I’m good with him as our 3rd option. Nothing but a bad shooting week
