[@emptyal5341]

Agree. Great to see the fellow kiwi getting some form back. Moving WAY better now, and really a presence again under the bucket. More, please, Steve-o! Would also like to see him on the court with Sengun, could be VERY interesting….

he loves doing that with every team. Dude plays zero defense.

(-13)! The only Laker starter who is in the (-), but I guess you can't blame him because he's 40 after all. But you do have to praise him for being 40 when he has a good game. It's a win-win for Lebron story tellers.

I honestly think, the refs being bad, is an intentional decision coming from the very top of the league. It is too consistently inconsistent to be incidental.

[@azamaeltv]

That offensive foul on AD was weak af that some bs

[@stromilegerald5983]

Rockets seemed too fast for Lakers

[@3rdCoastAlliance]

This is the overall strategy for the Rockets. They have a ton of young talent (no one in the core group is over 23) that's super-athletic. The issue is that they're not great shooters. The Laker's planned to neutralize Sengun and live with Jalen Green attempting to beat them by shooting (hence why they ran drop coverage), but Jalen's touch was there, so they got torched. Amen Thompson grabbing all them rebounds didn't help either. Even still, the Rockets are known to let teams back into the game, so the Lakers focused on hunting mismatches in the 3rd. Namely targeting Sengun because he's reluctant to guard the perimeter because his lateral quickness isn't fast enough to cover a drive to the basket over that distance. It worked really well, but then the Rockets went on a 10-point streak at the beginning of the 4th, and the Lakers didn't have enough juice for another quality push.

[@Ilestun]

how can you have 4 starters having positive +/- and still lose the freaking game.

0:35 just look at the absurd Lakers offensive set. The team is built for 2014.

[@toveycen4668]

No choice. It’s bron system. Players were told to be spot shooters. Opening space for screens and layup for the goat. If goat doesn’t cut. AD will get the biscuit.

[@GoDxism]

RIGHT!? I was so excited the first 3 Lakers games when they were moving the ball beautifully. I thought JJ brought a system where there's constant movement and sharing of the ball. Then I don't know what happened after that because it's either LeBron demanding to be the playmaker at least 75% of the time or AD posting up.

[@MrSheduur]

@@GoDxism wasn't this 100% clear when they traded away DLo? Lebron being pg for almost the entire game, so he can rack up even more bs shots...

Lol you didn't understand it. 40 ys old, are you realising what you means???
