Yeah, this will tell us a lot about how the Lakers will be able to handle teams with big offensive oriented centers like Philly and Denver.
Will be tough without AD but the key is to stretch the floor and pull Embiid away from the basket on offense. Defensively, I think we have to double Embiid and scramble and use our athleticism to compete. Need to be hitting our threes today.
Lol, every game has told us the same thing: we suck at defense, are prone to taking off entire quarters and we don’t get up for anyone. That’s the team, there’s nothing more to learn until AD and maybe Nunn plays, if they even play.
Guess you haven’t watched any of the last three games? Team has played much better. LeBron and Russ have been great. Young Lakers have made the difference.
Guess you’ve watched them on goofballs or something…oh I forgot, you pay attention to defense as an after-thought. We’re a great team on one half of the floor!!!! Whee! We’re going to go all the way!!!!
Object of the game is score more points than your opponent. Lakers are finally doing that. Defense will continue to be problem until AD returns. In meantime, we should be glad that the team is finally figuring it out on offense instead of just complaining about defense.
