The Lakers Just Made a BIG Change to Their Defense and it's Looking GOOD.. | Lakers NEW Defense?!

[@JSM24]

Do you think what the Lakers have done defensively in their past 3 games is maintainable? And if so, how can they? Comment down below! Join our NBA Discord! - discord.gg/YMykkbnd48 | Follow me on Twitter here! - twitter.com/JSMonYT

I think max been studying OG anunoby like i been saying he needs to do. potential playing style similar

[@seanz8583]

Like I commented last night, I swear there are “Laker fans” lately who are angry when the Lakers win so they can’t push their panic narratives

[@dennisknowles9293]

Keep Max in the staring unit for now he brings energy and defense which is key in the back court 🎉🎉🎉

[@Blazin50s]

Christie defending guards is definitely heading in the right direction. But we still need a 3&D wing that can matchup with stronger players.

[@apparentlylivin]

Dorian Finney Smith?

[@Blazin50s]

@ Yes.

[@apparentlylivin]

@@Blazin50s yeah he'd be perfect

[@Blazin50s]

@@apparentlylivinIn terms of Nets needs, His age, expiring contract as well Our team needs. Perfect. There almost isn’t anybody else available.

[@apparentlylivin]

@Blazin50s he's perfect. Plus Day'Ron Sharpe would fulfill a lot of the team's needs

[@vtownboxingfan]

I've also noticed Koloko is very quick for someone that tall!

[@Alg-0-Rhythm]

@jsm the Lebron and AD call out on body language! yeah, leadership. But putting a premium on defensive minutes rather than offensive, and having a good balance. Christie is athletic, fast, and frenetic, but also fundamental and coachable. Great break down

[@OneWhoKN0ZE]

It sounds like you are saying that D doesn’t win games. When the lakers were good (80s) they were a fast break team that turned the D up and that is what won in the POs. Now with the 3s and the defensive plays that equal fouls we have a game that should just declare the first to 130 the winner. No thanks.

[@unknowngames9959]

I kind of wish they made the Switch during the cup, they would still be in there

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

Like I said on other fans channels and even here perhaps, but this is proof that talent is not the issue

[@Jouyizz13]

Sorry but im not sold on kaloko. He kinda slow on the switch and as a 7 footer he struggles to get a rebound. Offensively speaking though he is a good lob threat for LA. But i like my center to grab rebounds and block/contest shot scoring is secondary.

[@JSM24]

I’m not “sold” on Koloko either. I’m just pointing out the few good defensive games he’s had here lately. That’s a positive.

[@echoe_envy2497]

Koloko is our only Back Up C at the moment and mind you he is recovering from a blood clot which can end careers, I’m not “Sold” on him but he has been playing as best he can he needs a bit more development he is a 1 year player after all.

[@TheTruthSeeker462]

Still hoping for that Jonas Valanciunas Trade

[@Alg-0-Rhythm]

2 perimeter defenders is more than twice as good as one. Gabes D is always good, his o is ennh, and sometimes instincts aren't there but he isn't even comfortable yet and that will happen.

[@keepitmum8306]

The Lakers have shown for the past few years now that they have stretches where they look good, and stretches where they look terrible. Much of that depends on who they are playing. Let's not overreact to one game. We already know that the current roster is just not talented or athletic enough on either side of the floor to complete for a chip this year. If Rob does not make a move or two before the trade deadline, it is obvious that he may just blow it up in the off season.

[@mr.kwamid-86_43]

Sustainable =/= Maintainable, and vice-versa

[@Mr40ozkilla81]

I've noticed a huge uptick in their turnovers.

[@dennisknowles9293]

Me too 😢😢😢

[@CBoogie91]

Part of that is the different lineups they have to run due to injuries

[@markduncan9937]

Champion level teams play solid defense so its exciting to see the Lakers ranked the third best defense in the NBA. However, having the 29th ranked offense is embarrassing. The Lakers should be looking to feed AD in the paint every possession. LeBron should be the second option every possession. This team proved that was good enough to present problems to anyone during their hot start. I do think this team will be hard to beat once they get healthy. I can see them as the 4th or 5th seed come the playoffs.

[@Alg-0-Rhythm]

1.3 steals isn't elite but good

[@jcorbe1073]

Why put a video under members only 🤦

[@cmattil]

This team is a disrespect to the lakers greats. No effort. JJ is a great coach and we have a few amazing players but this is sad to watch Kwame brown would start on this team lol

I respect the City of Los Angeles and the legacy of the Los Angeles Lakers. However, I must point out that the BOSTON CELTICS have won 18 NBA Championships.while the LOS ANGELES LAKERS have won only 12 NBA Championships (1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2020*).* Covid year.

[@geraldsportsjr6074]

I hope we can keep Christie in the starting lineup and add Reddish back into the starting lineup to replace Rui to move him off the bench so we can have balance in the rotation until we make trades to help us improve to win an championship.

[@elvide0]

Cam is great but too small and rui provides better shooting and rebounds. Our true key to success is vando, who will ABSOLUTELY be in the starting lineup after a couple weeks to ramp up from injury. He is the sole reason to our success when we made the WCF.

[@omarsharif3381]

​@@elvide0How is Cam ✌🏿 small ???

[@Jouyizz13]

If you add cam on the starting line up they gonna lack shooting which rui gives. And second rui's mentality kinda weak when you remove him from the starting line up his performances going to dip.

[@justthisguy1948]

Told y’all this team was still trash you wouldn’t listen 😂

Lakers should be running full energy full court whole game including Lebron and AD...

[@kristholtz3283]

D has been very good above a excellent AD, specifically bc of point of attack/perimeter D of Reddish, Christie, Vincent, while Koloco has been very good as AD reliever with little D drop off for resting AD. It's been good. Knect has been noticeably WAY OFF. 🧐🫡

[@Jouyizz13]

He is adjusting with his added mass. If you notice he is getting bulkier. With those added mass he needs to adjust and it takes time.
