This may be the most embarrassing defensive possession of the season.
Watch Duncan Robinson here, this isnโ€™t a screen, he just taps Hachimura on the back and walks his way to the rim but somehow finds himself so open that he gets confused and doesn’t know what to do with the ball. Anyway, he finds Adebayo whoโ€™s got a great look, but he swings it to Herro whoโ€™s also all alone. Thatโ€™s three players who could have scored here, but finally Herro ends this misery for the Lakers.
And again follow Rozier. He is obviously behind every Laker player at this moment. And as we let it roll, look at him casually jogging the other way getting a practice layup at 30% speed.
This is inexplicable.
The problems for the Lakers are deep and we got a whole story to unpack, which of course starts with the effort, and them not being ready to play. Speaking of that, I always like to keep myself ready and in good shape.
The Lakers problems start and end with Lebron and AD. First of all, how do you expect a guy thatโ€™s gonna be 40 in 2 weeks, to be the leader of a contending team?
This would have been a chasedown block 5 years ago, but now he gives up and watches Butler get the easy 2 points.
Again, the 2 of them are in line when James shoots this, but watch what happens. Lebron decided that heโ€™s not running back on defense, instead telling his teammates to go chase after Jimmy. Another easy bucket.
I was shocked to find out that Lebron has the 13th worst plus minus in the league. Heโ€™s at the bottom along with 9 guys who play for the dead last teams in the 2 conferences, the Wizards and the Pelicans.
Heโ€™s had some horrific lowlights from his lack of effort this season. Not running back in transition, and just watch this circus here. The Lakers donโ€™t get a kick ball here so Lebron starts running all over the court, arguing with the refs and guarding absolutely nobody, look at him way over here, while Bradley Beal is all alone for this three and of course he swishes it.
There are a bunch more unreal examples in Daniel Liโ€™s video so shoutout to him and make sure you check that out as well.
But to me, the biggest issue in this situation is Anthony Davis. Heโ€™s supposed to be the best player of this team and last nightโ€™s performance of 8 points on 3 for 14 is inexcusable.
It wasnโ€™t just on offense, Davis was unrecognizable defensively as well.
Jimmy Butler blew by him multiple times as if he was a traffic cone.
Absolutely no contest whatsoever.
And he just needs some popcorn here, the way he watches Adebayo bully the much smaller Russell inside the paint. Where is the AD from the beginning of the season?
Last 7 games Davis is averaging 18 points on 43% from the field. Thatโ€™s nowhere near what the Lakers need from him to be competitive.
Worst of all for Lakers fans is the fact that their team is now 12-10, which is worse than what they were last season under Darvin Ham who the entire fanbase was happy to get rid of.
This is the same viscous cycle repeating for this team, where now all of a sudden Reddick will start to get blamed for this poor performance just like that was the case with Frank Vogel, when in fact the Lakers lost a bunch of key members of that championship roster and did not replace them. The same way that Darvin Ham got fired when he had an even worse roster to manage, and the same way it is now with JJ when he only inherited the exact same bad roster from last season with the notable addition of Bronny James.
I pretty much predicted this exact scenario happening 5 months ago way before the season began. And you donโ€™t need to be a genius to know that things like this will happen.
Iโ€™m just sorry for Reddick who obviously loves basketball, but last night at the postgame press conference he was completely drained and seemed like he had all the life and love of the game sucked right out of him. Dude was absolutely speechless.
But then, he also took a subtle jab to his players.
And of course youโ€™re not gonna blame the coach for this basic level of miscommunication on defense where Highsmith ends up all alone in the corner and Davis is sleepwalking in the paint.
Or for this missed rotation thatโ€™s like the first lesson on defense that you teach little kids.
The Lakers have the 4th worst defense in the league this season and a lot of it has to do with some laughable lack of effort plays like these.
And theyโ€™re also 4th worst in three point makes per game. So no defense, and no three point shooting. To me their record is actually better than it should be. JJ is actually doing a good job with what heโ€™s getting from the players if you ask me.
And Lebron agrees that Reddick is not the one to blame here.
Itโ€™s December and weโ€™re already getting the talk about team meetings, which could get ugly, but itโ€™s crucial for them to figure things out because 6 out of their next 10 games are against western conference rivals for the play off race

[Music] this may be the most embarrassing defensive possession of the Season watch Duncan Robinson here this isn’t a screen he just Taps haimura on the back and walks his way to the rim but somehow he’s so open that he gets confused and doesn’t know what to do with the ball anyway he finds adabo who’s got a great look but he swings it to Hero who’s also all alone that’s three players who could have scored here but finally Tyler ends this misery for the Lakers and again follow roier he’s obviously behind every Laker player at this moment and as we let it roll look at him casually jogging the other way getting a practice layup at 30% speed nobody around him this is inexplicable just six points on two for seven shoo oh Butler wide open this Laker defense needs a a reality check right now they are just La aicle very pedestrian out there the problems for the Lakers are deep and we got a whole story to unpack which of course starts with the effort and them not being ready to play speaking of that unlike the Lakers I always like to keep myself ready and in good shape I got a treadmill at home to train for my half marathons and I also love body weight exercises but even more important than that is refueling your body which is why I’m thankful to have discovered groom Grooms are a convenient comprehensive formula packed into eight gummies a day this isn’t a multivitamin a greens gummy or a probiotic it’s all of those things and then some at a fraction of the price and it tastes great too while you’re checking out my impeccable pullup form let me tell you that Grom splits the dose into eight gummies per day because you cannot fit the amount of nutrients they do into just one gummy generic multivitamins only contain around 7 to9 vitamins while grons have 20 plus vitamins and minerals and 60 plus whole food ingredients grons is more bioavailable meaning that your body can absorb it and use it much better than tablets which will help you get the nutrients you need and you don’t need to drink water as you would with tablets or powders water decreases the effect iess and you also pee out a lot of the nutrients which would be one expensive pee plus Grom is vegan nutree gluten-free dairy free so it’s pretty much good for everyone and you can get up to 45% off click the link in the description and check it out thanks Grooms for sponsoring this video the Lakers problems start and end with LeBron and AD first of all how do you expect a guy that’s going to be 40 in 2 weeks to be the leader of a contending team butter with the getaway the steel and the slam this would have been a chase down block 5 years ago but now he gives up and watches Butler get the easy two points again the two of them are in line when James shoots this but Watch What Happens LeBron decided that he’s not running back on defense instead telling his teammates to go chase after Jimmy another easy bucket I was shocked to find out that LeBron has the 13th worst plus minus in the league he’s at the bottom along with nine guys who play for the dead last teams in the two conferences the Wizards and the Pelicans he’s had some horrific low lights from his lack of effort this season not running back in transition and just watch this circus here the Lakers don’t get a kick ball so LeBron starts running all over the court arguing with the refs and guarding absolutely nobody look at him way over here while Bradley Bill is all alone for this three and of course he swishes it there are a bunch more unreal examples in Daniel Lee’s video so shout out to him and make sure you check that out as well but to me the biggest issue in this situation is Anthony Davis he’s supposed to be the best player of this team and last night’s performance of eight points on 3414 is inexcusable it wasn’t just on offense Davis was unrecognizable defensively as well Jimmy Butler blew by him multiple times as if he was a traffic cone absolutely no contest whatsoever and he just needs some popcorn here the way he’s watching arabo bullied the much smaller russle inside the paint where is the ad from the beginning of the season last seven games Davis is averaging 18 points on 43% from the field that’s nowhere near what the Lakers need from him to be competitive Davis against love oh the air ball back Davis will t one up and brick it worst of all for Lakers fans is the fact that their team is now 12- 10 which is worse than what they were last season under Daren ham who the entire fan base was happy to get rid of this is the same vicious cycle repeating for this team where now all of a sudden reic will start to get blame for this poor performance just like that was the case with Frank vogle when in fact the Lakers lost a bunch of key members of that championship roster and did not replace them the same way that Darin ham got fired when he got an even worse roster to manage and the same way it is now with JJ when he only inherited the same exact bad roster from last season with the notable addition of bronny James I pretty much predicted this exact scenario happening 5 months ago way before the season began and you definitely don’t need to be a genius to know that things like this will happen I’m just sorry for reic who obviously loves basketball but last night at the postgame press conference he was completely drained and seemed like he had all the life and love of the game sucked right out of him dude was absolutely speechless what’s your postgame message after a a tough loss like that kind of on top of some other recent tough losses um the there has to be some some ownership but then he also took a subtle jab at his players I can’t I can’t physically get us organized I can’t physically be into the basketball I can’t physically talk and call out reds and physically call out coverages and going to need some ownership on the court as well and of course you’re not going to blame the coach for this basic level of miscommunication on defense where heisi ends up all alone in the corner while Davis is sleepwalking in the paint or for this mis rotation that’s like the first lesson on defense that you teach little kids the Lakers have the fourth worst defense in the League this season and a lot of it has to do with some laughable lack of effort plays like these and they’re also fourth worst in three-point makes per game so no defense and no three-point shooting to me the record is actually better than it should be JJ is basically doing a good job with what he’s getting from the players if you ask me and LeBron agrees that reic is not the one to blame here it’s not on coaches definitely on us for sure JJ questions it together I agree with everything JJ said he already talked to y’all yes he did whatever he said I agree 100% th% you did say you agree with everything JJ said everything everything so don’t ask me well spe specific everything he said is correct it’s December and we’re already getting to talk about team meetings which could get ugly but it’s crucial for them to figure things out because six of their next 10 games are against Western Conference Rivals for the playoff race these are all going to be tough games and they also have the Cleveland Cavaliers to start the new year man this is going to be a grueling stretch for them and my guess is that by the end of it we start getting some trade rumors as it’s pretty much always ends up being the case with LeBron James teams around this time only thing is that this time he’s not going to be able to flip the switch like he used to and carry his team to the playoffs I mean just last night with this three-pointer he snapped his miserable streak of 20 misses in a row from downtown 20 straight Miss threes I featured that in my video along with some other unbelievable stats like Victor wanyama averaging the same amount of blocks per game as the entire Miami Heat roster yeah as shocking as this sounds it’s true so you got to check out this video for more interesting numbers from this season talk to you in the next one peace out
