    As Jimmy V said, “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.” I loved it when he told us to Laugh, Cry and Think everyday, then you’ve had a good day!

    To our missing bloggers.

    Aloha, Michael. I have to agree with you that we have been outcoached last night just like we were against the Blazers. It’s ironic that Frank now wants to go small when we don’t have anybody with size to support AD other than Melo. If there ever was a time to play Dwight or DeAndre alongside AD, it’s right now with Ariza out. It’s like Frank wants AD at the five to fail.

    This team needs LeBron James to play on this road trip. We’ve gone from small ball on steroids to AD and four guards. It’s a different kind of small ball where we depend on guards and not on LeBron and AD dominating their small ball defenders. We do not have the guards to play super small. We need LeBron back. We need him back tomorrow night.

    I’m sure an elite defensive team like the Bucks have seen what the Blazers and Bulls did doubling and tripling AD. Now it’s time for Frank and hiz staff to show they can make the counters needed so that AD doesn’t spend the entire game surrounded and frustrated with the lack of spacing and the team’s ability to make their threes. We need to shoot the three well to beat teams. If we miss, we will lose like last night.

    Their A team beat our B team. At least our new 3 point shooters are shooting at will, uh, not making them, but…With injuries I think we’ll really struggle to make the PO’s. Too many West teams that are really good.

    Woe

    • Don’t worry, DJ. This is not the team that we will roll out for the playoffs. Big changes coming at the trade deadline.

    • Chillax, Dave. All is well in Lakers universe. Lakers are now 5-3, won 3 in a row and 4 out of 5, and are now 3rd in the West just a 1.5 games out of first place. AD is now playing the 5, LeBron playing the 4, and the team starting to show it’s championship mettle even though it’s early and they have 11 new players and a new offense and defense.

      • As I said, “work in progress.” But we were supposed to look for great 3 shooters and ya know what some say the 3 shooters come to LA to…..

    Good thing we were playing an awful team. I was hoping Russ would make LBJ a better 3 shooter. I never really thought that most of these supposed “3” shooters would really help. We needed a Dame or such. If they were any good they wouldn’t bounce from team to team.

    That's some dang ugly 3 shooting!

    • Melo doesn’t move your needle?

    • Let’s see DJ. Melo is currently shooting .522 from 3, I think you could say that’s helped. Bazemore is shooting.427 from 3. That’s also very good. The other 2 shooters we brought in Ellington and Nunn haven’t played yet. It’s LeBrons 1 for his last 13 that’s been a problem.

    • I feel you on how our 3 point specialists can be limited and LBJ is streaky but really we need to focus on dominating the paint anyhow. Lakers can’t rely on the three, need to do it with D and get easy buckets inside.

      • Thru the first 6 game we are 42% 34% 71%. And in game 7 we were below all of the average of first 6 games against a worthless team. Just stating the facts “mam.” : )

        • But you are blaming the 3 point shooters we brought in and they are preforming well.

          • Just all of our shooting from all over is below what I think they should be against most of the teams they have played. The 34% doesn’t include last nites 9-31 from 3. Not dissing Melo or Baze, just overall not great, yet.

    Another behind kicking thru 3rd. Don’t play any “D” against the 3. I was kinda afraid a bit when many of us thought we were getting a bunch of 3 shooters.

    YIKES

    Didn’t take long for the fingers to begin pointing at my man Russ…lol. But perimeter defense was my concern as soon as this roster was put together. There are just too many elite guards in the game today for us to go out there lacking elite defenders to match up. And that’s the way Frankie has been successful as a defensive coach…with big athletic guards who can shoot a decent 3pt percentage. Yeah..we have good 3pt shooters and we have some competent defenders but who do we have who can do both? That’s how you end up with Melo losing his jock strap on the floor getting blown by in crunch time. Then an air-ball 3 to top it off.

    One of the many problems I see with our team is that we’re asking too many guys to be who they really aren’t. We want AD to be a Center. We want LeBron to be a Power Forward. We want Frankie to change his coaching philosophy/system. We want Russ to be….I’m not even sure what we’re trying to turn Russ into. It’s a long season….until it isn’t.

    • Well there ya go. Westy and AD! Ad should have had more touches.

      • l have been skeptical about our three point shooters as well. However, the more I see the players getting more confident in their new roles the more I feel like it’s just a matter of time before the three point fire works begin. So far my main concern has been their inability to defend the three point line, but I am pretty confident that will be resolved sooner rather than later. I am learning to be patient with a new team even though I get to scratch my head a lot because of poor defense and silly turnovers. But that’s what you get when you have to start all over with a new team.

    • Kuz is going to have a good year. When LeBron came Kuz seemed like he adjusted the best with LeBron and he had a very good season 18.7 ppg. But once AD came on board he never seemed to figure how to play with both of them. In my opinion he became too unselfish. I think he can be a 20 ppg player as the 2nd option.

    Gonna see the Lakers at Pacers game in Nov!!!

    Laker-Pacer Tix! Got em! : )

    Reaves is not the defender Caruso was and maybe not the athlete but he has a more balanced approach to the game that could make him a better overall player. I like his decisiveness with the ball and the lack of hesitation to take the three when available. Much more aggressive and confident offensively. It’s easy to see why the Lakers signed him as the #14th player. He’s the new Caruso.

    • Hi, DJ. That’s awesome! What worries me is that every Lakers game feels like a playoff game. So we are going to need every support for the team on the road. I missed out on the Lakers game last year, but I am planning on going to see them this year. That should be fun. We’ve got to make some noise when they come to town.

    • Awesome DJ! Atta boy! Get busy living again!!
