None of the Lakers role players are capable of being out of their role to produce more.
The Lakers don’t have a Rose 🌹 or a Lemon 🍋 Pepper Lou or a Norm Powell…
A guy who can stop a12-2 run or a guy who goes on a 12-4 run by himself.
The Lakers require AD and LeBron to be at 100% and then most not all role players play their role.
That ain’t happening this playoff so in the offseason the #1 priority is finding either a really good individual scorer or a 3rd Star.
What we have in the pot ain’t gonna sustain this club. It ain’t in the cards.
I know Lakers fans wanna believe we have “that guy” we do not have that guy.
Our role players are role players stop asking them to do things they’re not comfortable doing…
Popeye said it best “I yam what I yam and that’s all I yam Olive”…
Which is fine but don’t reset expectations on these role players
Shooters have been known to pull a hot 3pt game outta their azz in a crucial game. I don’t know if KCP is available but Wes, Gasol, Mclemore, or Kuz (smh) gotta pull one out tonight for us to have a chance..I think.
Lakers players probably don’t realize it but this game should become a big part of the evidence when deciding who stays and who goes next season.
Lakers and LeBron’s legacies are on the line tonight. It’s pretty simple: Guys who don’t show up don’t deserve to be here next season.
Big game for Dennis to show his worth. KCP is due for a bust out game with 5-6 3’s. Or maybe THT has a big game. Somebody…Anybody…please step up.
