How did we manage to cover up so much ground last year without LeBron post trade deadline? This year it seems that our entire offense runs only through LeBron and our defense runs only through AD. With almost the same set of players why are we so bad this year so far?

People won’t like it because he was Ham’s twin lightning rod of hate, but Dennis was a huge factor. Fast pnr ball handler who could pressure the rim playing 25+ minutes. DsLOw, Reaves, and Vincent do nothing to attack the rim. So what do you get when no one but one player can actually get into the paint? Stagnant, broken offense.
Defensively they are too small and unathletic on the perimeter to stay in front of anyone. Once again Dennis, while small, was a great POA defender who could keep guys in-front. This teams guards get blown by and overpowered. It’s untenable. It starts on the perimeter.
Thats like Feb or March alr. I think teams kinda lifted their foot off gas pedal for a little bit, and the lakers were on hunt mode, they needed a push. That motivated them to gain more wins.
Schroder tbh
