I'm guessing the shooting will be on/off all season. But what worries me is the halfcourt execution. Not much cooking there.

Also, noticing just how bad a defender Ellington is. If he's not making shots at a high volume.... It's just the preseason, but during the season, we cannot afford to have Ellington AND Monk on the court at the same time. That's just asking for opposing guards to have field days.


Apparently you’re not watching the game. His defense hasn’t been a problem. Poor defense is when the offensive player can use one move to get by. It’s been taking two or more moves to get by Ellington


Been watching the game, and Ellington is constantly getting burned. Oh wait...instead of one move, the offensive player gets by him on the second/third. That makes things waaaaay better. My bad.


Yea it does because sometimes it forces them to pass because help is now on the way or would you prefer he just gets lost like THT? Do watch basketball or skim through it

I can see why they just convert Reaves to a regular contract. He is pretty good

I think the Lakers have as many turnovers as they have points. And, they stopped getting points, while the turnovers are still going strong. Not going in the direction you would like.

I'm saying this tongue-in-cheek. And, I'm not overly concerned. But, the amount of dysfunction on the offensive end is...eye catching. I don't expect the Lakers to look like champions, but I've been looking at other teams, and they seem to look like they did actual teamwork during the offseason. The Lakers look bad bad...even for preseason. This is looking like Coach Brown preseason levels bad.


I think one of our significant disadvantages is that we never have the same team from one season to the next where other teams have continuity and know how to play with one another. So they have a few new guys on the Warriors but the rest of these folks have been on for at least a couple of seasons now and then of course Dray Steph Klay and even the Return Of Iggy. You know Denver solid Dallas is solid etc. etc. so we obviously have the time to the talent to overcome it but it’s gonna take time because the guys just look like they need to play together.


I agree, which is why I'm not panicking. Especially about the offense. The thing that does give me pause, is the defense. Granted, when you turn the ball over constantly, your defense is automatically compromised. So, when the offense gets smoother, this should help the defense. Team definitely needs chemistry in a big way.

Reaves already a better defender than THT just from his defensive IQ

A good passer too, if he consisntently hit that 3pt shots, he will get more minutes.

Why are we going through Dwight? Frank’s a bad coach on offense.

If he can knock down open 3s like this, he will be part of the rotation. No need to play south bay
