That might be the worst defensive starting group that we could field. Lebron and Rui have more success guarding PFs, not SGs. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Here's the lineups they should run, till Reaves finds himself, but also to force Darvin to play Dinwiddie as the backup 1 and not the 3 with the starters...
Starters:
DLO
Max Christie
Rui Hachimura
LeBron James
Anthony Davis
Bench:
Spencer Dinwiddie
Austin Reaves
Taurean Prince
Jaxson Hayes
That's what we should running. When Reddish gets back put him with the bench unit, when Vando comes back put him with that unit too or move him to the starters. But either way, this is what we should be running with the current state of things.
Starting lineup works on length and size, as well as Max Christie putting up elite numbers as a spot up three point shooter, which is WHY we should be utilizing him in that role more instead of people that brick in that position.
You got DLO, Rui, LeBron, AD as 4 capable of getting their own shots and scoring, you have DLO, Max, Rui, LeBron as 40% three point shooters, so there's your spacing. You have Max, Rui and AD for length on defense, and LeBron when he wishes to be, and DLO already much better at that this season.
Then you got the bench for scoring as well as hustle. Allows Spencer to attack going downhill and lets Reaves find his own shot against benches. Taurean as the spot up shooter and Hayes as the roll man/hype/hustle man.

If ham adjusted with this lineup in the 2nd half we wouldve won today. he shouldve started Hayes with AD and Rui in front court with bron and dlo running the guard spots. we got crushed on the defensive end today and seemed like we gave them every offensive board they wanted. But ham never adjusted
Suns with 51 boards to our 34..... 14 offensive rebounds to our 3.

Ham is going to die on the "3 guard line up" hill
exactly. It makes no sense
They choose to get back on D instead of going for the offensive rebound. AD getting in foul trouble in the 1st was the difference this game. That being said, AR had an awful game on the defensive end, was lost half the time. Once Vando comes back lineup has to be
Im not sure what ARs role on this team is. Playmaker? Spot up shooter? Dlo and Bron are better playmakers, and Prince and RUI are better spot up shooters.
His 3pt shot is inconsistent, and he has trouble beating his man off the dribble and finishing. And then he is a huge liability on defense.
Dlo is a liability on defense too, but he makes up for it with his reliable 3pt shooting and playmaking
AR needs the ball in his hand... but how does that help this team? You could bench him, but honestly Id rather have Spencer leading the second unit than AR.

AR is a better off the bench ballhandler scorer. He was playing at a 6moy pace early this season. Problem is we needed an athletic defensive SG next to DLO. We tried to fill it with TP and Cam but both were not sustainable. Reason they had to put AR back as a starter.

Funny enough if Max develops the way we all hope he should, he fills in that defensive SG with offensively ability hole for the lakers so perfectly.
I'm high on Max as well, so hopefully he can make a leap next season.

Max cant develop playing 5 minutes per game. AR needs to be benched STAT. Give Max his spot.

AR hate is real, lol 😂. You must have hated him last year also.Yes he is slow and not very athletic, but u know he is clutch in the end. We should have lost the last 2 games without AR. Great stop on Harden that lead to a steal and last game great block on Poole and game tying basket to put us in OT.
Last year stat 13.0 pts 3.0 reb 3.4 ast .529 fg% .398 3p%
This year stat 15.6 pts 4.0 reb 5.4 ast .490 fg% .360 3p%
Stat wise he is not that far off from last year. Problem is we have a coach that don’t seem to know how make it a little easier for AR. Coach like to switch, don’t hedge on pick and roll to help slow and make it easier to recover. Vando’s and Dennis ‘s absence has really made AR look bad on D. When we apply pressure on the ball handler like Vando and Dennis did last year it helps hide AR deficiency because he is a smart position player. As far as Max, Prince minutes needs to drop, so Max can develop and that is all about the coach. LMAO we have 2 timeout and he let LBJ sit at the scorers table. Timeout never got used and transferred over to OT.

Christi has not done (bleep). How about you hate on Dinwiddie…

Russell, who a lot of people say is shooting the best in his career has a true shooting percentage of .591. Reaves, who a lot of people say has been struggling on offense has a true shooting percentage of .621.
This is not to put them against each other, but to show how expectations are different depending on the player.
this is an awesome video...I wish our guys were even remotely as close to be as good dribblers (or shooters as pistol Pete/ _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!

With the way he has been able to pull himself out of a big slump this season, I would say its pretty clear last season was not a fluke. He is rounding out right back into shape. He's looking a lot more like he did on both ends last season. If only we could get Vando back to help jump start our defense.
