Oooo wow a collab qith jason timpf feom Hoops Tonight😮 seems like this has been a long timw coming! Good stuff, cant wait to listen.

[@Typhoon1392]

No wayyyyyy I LOVE this collab. Been listening to to all of Jason’s pods for a minute now! As well as LN! This is awesome!! More plz!!

[@lensdurandisse6980]

Damn I had the same reaction as you hahaha

[@peteranders6893]

@@Typhoon1392 finally someone that understands basketball and has great understanding of lineups, systems and fit. Truer words were never spoken. This channel has been missing exactly that for 4 years. I said for one year get OGA and Caruso and F them picks. This roster has no perimeter defense. We'll get destroyed by star players. Then for another half season I said should have gotten OGA and Caruso, but you can still trade Rui now. We don't need a big, we need one of each starting SG and SF instead. There aren't any minutes for all those bigs. And they are also never playing. And Trevor never once replied or even thought about it. And now he was like oh yeah that is the key. Oh right DG and KCP. Oh Caruso. Yeah. Oh. That is the key. Lol Guy had just finished show 50 in a row talking about we need a big. They got 5 centers and 5 power forwards on the payroll and LBJ and AD are taking 80 of the 96 minutes available in the playoffs. What the hell do we got all those guys for? Lol. And yet Trevor was like Cam might have to play PF with how thin we are there. Bro there are literally 8 guys on this roster, who should probably ideally play PF. I just hope Trevor listens to this on repeat until he gets how little he gets.

[@Typhoon1392]

@@peteranders6893 it would be so nice to have him on a regular basis. I also think he’d make a great assistant coach and of course I’m biased in saying for the Lakers one day but likely anywhere he goes if that’s a path he takes. Having intelligence on podcasts is what keeps them around longterm. People who really like basketball like to learn and get better.

[@starmelter-band]

Finally, someone who can keep up with Trevor. More of Timpf, please.

[@peteranders6893]

@@starmelter-band keep up? He is 10 levels above Trevor in terms of lineup science, player types and fit, athletic assessment, strength and weaknesses and how the players fit the available positions and fit different systems etc. Someone actually for once taught this audience what this team actually needs and that is a starting SF with defense like Vando, who is also a threat on offense. He was so spot on about Alex and DG and KCP and finally it made sense to Trevor, who has been talking about nithing but a big bruiser. I don't think Trevor actually understood when it came to Hayes' small role and how insignificant that is in terms of what we need to create winning lineups, but maybe after a few relistens it will start sinking in. Perfectly explained what the problem is with Max and how little that center really matters and how hard it will be to even get Knecht into the rotation. Rui's tremendous defensive issues were finally explained on this show and how much of a senseless duplication he is (I always said he was an 18M LeBron insurance policy) who is essentially stuck behind LeBron. Nobody else has ever explained any of that to Trevor on the show. I could go on and on and on about all the things I've been saying under every video since preseason. This is the first ever show, where I feel like actual basketball knowledge was present and counteracting the popular journalist driven nonsense we normally get here. I feel like the real story got some much needed air time. Now I pray Trevor listens to this on repeat for a week and then has this guy join the show permanently. I hope Trevor finally realizes that he has more holes in his lineup knowledge than Cam Reddish has in his offensive game or Rui has defending on the perimeter.

I hope Trevor finally understood what the problems on this roster are and what this team really needs, because he has always amplified utter nonsense for years now.

Literally the first time someone assessed players and lineups correctly on here.

More collabs with Jason!!! You guys together would be epic

[@pleasedonttemptme5963]

Yup, right out the gate as usual Jason speaking facts. I said the exact same thing on Day 1, literally: Why (Why..) did the Lakers sign Cam Reddish 😂

[@jrl3627]

Lakers fans forget easily, cam reddish 's defense on Paul George, Kawhi, booker in the in- season tournament . they forget how bradley beal, booker used to target max christie, reaves, because both are not good defenders. but because Donovan Mitchell had a bad game, they think Christie is a good defender, we'll see...

[@pleasedonttemptme5963]

@@jrl3627 I do not care even a little bit about the In Season Tournament (But you do, cool). It’s irrelevant and cost us playoff positioning. Cam Reddish is not a good NBA player, and that is not even debatable. I don’t care about Christie either, I’d keep him over Cam Reddish however that’s how bad he is

[@ReignitedAuto]

​@pleasedonttemptme5963 I didn't see him being as bad as you're saying. He did play extremely good wing defense, albeit in stretches. Then he would lose focus and think he was a scorer again even though his shooting percentages are up and down to say the least. If the team could keep him more focused throughout the season then he could at least contribute in spot minutes as a defensive stopper. As long as he doesn't shoot the ball they'll be in good shape 😄

Good to see Jason fully embracing the Laker fan side of him. On his own show he usually masks it for whatever reason and leans heavily into trying the objective analysis. But at times it does make him underestimate the team itself. Which is why he was wrong about Dlo. But it sounds like he has become more positive recently.

Laker fans ain't going to like this but Vando hasn't earned his spot in the rotation... He's been out way too long!

[@PNRM0372]

A 9 man rotation isn't set with a particular 9. He's saying game by game there will be a 9 man rotation based on needs/match ups. He's also using the language to strategically create a competitive environment in these practices and preseason games. Bron AD Rui Reaves DLo plus 4 based on whether you're playing Denver OR Golden St. Huger difference between those 2 teams.

[@LikeTheChile]

[@peteranders6893]

That's awesome. Anything but Sean lol.

[@WJGSix]

@@peteranders6893yeah, I don’t miss Sean at all. Nice enough dude though.

[@peteranders6893]

@@WJGSix this guy is the first person that ever came on to this show, who clearly really read the science on lineups. I loved listening to him explain how the small forward position is the absolute key to playing LBJ and AD together as bigs and how the real problems are LeBron being a way better Rui and D'Lo and Austin not fitting together and how he hammered home the point that Alex, KCP and DG practically won that title. And how you had to decide between your 1st rounder and Hayes to get minutes, like how unimportant that actually was in terms of lineups and minutes. It was a constant stream of solid foundational knowledge and I hope Trevor listens to this a few times and let's it sink in. Guy is the polar opposite of Sean Davis. And then Trevor was like oh yes, that is actually key. He suddenly said absolutely nothing about needing a big bruiser. He also went through more sensible sets and actions than Sean ever did and explain the athletic strengths and weaknesses of the guys spot on, something which neither Trevor nor Sean have ever done well. I hope he comes back often and actually feeds Trevor real basketball knowledge. Because Trevor alone is awesome, just needs some real bball input over the constant nonsense feed he gets from his favorite journalists. This is perhaps the best episode in 1.5 years when it comes to understanding what this roster is like and where the issues actually are.
