Tim Legler & Perk question Lakers' PUZZLING identity despite AD’s historic start | NBA Today

[@dontevntrip8627]

JJ better start coaching defense. The amount of easy cuts and layups they give up every game is ridiculous. AD can’t be forced to protect the rim every play

[@MJ-uu3th]

can't teach effort

[@KAET93]

They don't have the players that can do that

[@JuaquinTheDream24]

It’s more on the players than him, no effort or consistency

[@Dipset415]

He can’t LeBron reaves and Dlo cannot guard the perimeter to save there life

[@achyld21]

They need Vando back asap, and need to trade for another good defender

[@jahjaireashbourne7493]

He playing great but Jokic has a better case currently.

[@dontevntrip8627]

Donovan Mitchell , SGA , are both better options than jokic or AD . Don’t look at the league through such a small window. I’m a laker fan and I can see that

Said it AD my MVP so far The AD BUBBLE version and he got injured and sidelined in the early process of doing it so soon I’m glad he back quick to pick it up right where he left off Also glad he regain confidence shooting from 3 That was only thing missing in his arsenal to be great again

The west is too stacked this year. I got Lakers finishing between 4-7 seed. Maybe 3rd seed if AD stays healthy and D Lo steps his game up.

I will take a fiery coach over whatever the heck the previous coach was doing which was praising the team no matter what they did. That loses you respect cuz this is a league with the best collection of players in the world so of course they will be competitive. Give me Paty Riley give me Greg Poppovich give me Phil Jackson give me a coach that cares and can get through to his players.

[@arbitScaleModels]

till he bumps that shoulder or twists that ankle, again... AD needs to be less floppy and more balanced.

I bet you don't say that about Ja or Embiid who constantly in street clothes or Shai who lives at the free throw line

[@arbitScaleModels]

@@cozyfades1587 Embiid is hopeless. We have hope for AD, until he gets poked in the eye or something. And AD can easily improve his footwork and land in a balanced way, rather than give us a heart attack every time he twists his legs around on the court..
