Lakers-Pistons Reaction: LA Lets Go Of Rope In 4th-Quarter Blowout Vs. Another Good, Athletic Team

1. Banshees😂😂😂. Scrubs don’t get nicknames 😂

2. When LeBron is gone the Lakers will be good again mark my word

3. Lemme ask y’all a hypothetical.. If the hawks trade Trae young for a wing player would y’all trade AR for Zacharie Risacher ? So AR can play that Trae young role for Atlanta.. I just wanna see how high your rating AR because people were saying there’s no one that earns what he earns that I’d trade him for 🤦‍♂️

4. ⁠after this fourth quarter we need a trade really fast 💨 JJ got to play Adou and manon ! What’s ur thoughts and what realistic trade did u see and want?

5. I don't know … but I think that Ayton is one of the least of Laker's problems, even though you presented the numbers. At least not bad enough to get a whole solo "takeaway". 😉

6. I have not been a Luka fan when he was in Mavs. But i like his game and then when he was traded to the Lakers, i got excited because Lakers now have their superstar for decades. But he always being ball hog and doing whatever he does and he often passes the ball

   If he was having an off night, pass the ball to your teammates. We all know Luka is gonna do his own thing, he has the pace but he just needs to not be selfish sometimes. I still believe in Luka, i know he is gonna do good but this team just needs some good pieces. Need some trades, i think it's time to do something about this team. The bench simply sucks, if Dalton knecht just be himself like last year shooting 3's. But he is not a three pointer anymore, he lost it

7. The Lakers have to make a move, the defense, 3 point shooting and lack of athleticism are glaring. This team isn’t even competitive against good teams

8. Bring In Men with Back John Collins Dunn First Round Pick Quit Bull Shit

9. To be fair, Luka was pretty efficient when he reached the 30pts mark in the 3rd. He was +10 when he tied the game 79-79. It was after the shoulder injury and when Pistons made that run that he was bad. But for most of the game, he was pretty good vs this defense.

10. #1 takeaway- this team blows and the ceiling is a first round exit.

11. Awful Coaching is gonna have a field day with his analysis. 😅

12. @JOVAN BUHA SO I GUESS THIS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WITHOUT RUI ON DEFENSE BUT IT AINT LUKA FAULT LETS SEE U EXPLAIN THIS 😂😂😂

13. Can’t judge the team because Gabe Vincent was out LMFAO

14. Great show. Rob and the Buss family coasted on fat tv revenue, merch sales and sold out venues. We watched, year after year as AVAILABLE, elite 2-way players were passed by and picked by other teams. Rob refused to pay for a roster with more than 2 two-way players. LeBron and AD, LeBron and DFS…. he would occasionally placate fans by signing a bargain basement priced elite one way player. Yes, they were CHEAP because the REST of the league understood in this new era teams were stacked with good TWO-WAY talent! The current Lakers LEGIT (not GREAT but, dependable, competent) 2 way talent is basically LeBron and Ayton.

15. The Lakers are becoming difficult to watch and they don’t have consistent shooters. Outside of Luka they aren’t good on offense. The new ownership needs take full control of this franchise please.

16. The Lakers simply cannot matchup with the good, athletic teams. They need to get pass LeBron and surround Luka with young, athletic talent because that’s where the NBA is headed. The Lakers need to get their head out the sand

17. We did beat the Spurs with Wemby

18. Jj redick uh um um the uncomfortable talk he backed down from that said we the coaches have to be accountable. We listened to the players.

19. Recalibrating redick looked like a screw up vs. Pistons. Lakers were outworked in the 4th quarter.

20. Luka cant be a ball hog and passing often? Which is it? Whats your opinion or stance?

21. Why all the capital letters? Are you mad at Buha?

22. Hopefully Lakers beat the Grizzlies on Friday night at home. Contain Ja Morant. Hopefully clippers lose vd. Jazz. Good if Portland loses. Lets keep a big lead over play in tournament contenders.

23. When is Gabe Vincent going to play? His back is hurt.

24. JJ rotation suck ass. What happened was the players were gassed in the 4th quarter. That's what happens when you overplay the same players all the time. Also dear lord our turnovers

25. 20-11 is a solid Lakers record. Roster construction athleticism. Pelinka do something to address our needs. Mark Walter might replace Pelinka if he doesnt get the job done free agency and trades.

26. Can't even beat a good team

27. Truth you do realize we are 20-11 that is a solid record.

28. Im not rooting for Nuggets injuries. I want to beat the best to be the best.

29. Put a better team around Luka I guarantee his efficiency goes up by a lot

30. Nixon the big problem with the Lakers is terrible defense

31. Watson is 23 younger and athletic still with the Nuggets. He is from California.

32. The Lakers need more dirty goons who are not afraid to mug and assault their opponents, like the pistons have.

33. Being fragile not good is it conditioning? Other teams are injured also.

34. Hopefully okc beats portland stay way ahead of Portland

35. Jovan do you think we should expect the Lakers to pull a 2018 Cavs at the trade deadline or before to revamp the bench and defense? If they accomplish those 2 things they to me become the favorite. They’ll be rejuvenated and start to win games against quality teams in the league

36. Why is it that 31 games into the season, the Lakers coaching staff cannot come up with a scheme to HIDE Luka. Opponents just know now that they just need to have guys who can beat their defender at the perimeter then it is going to be a layup. Luka is not even going to try to contest, he just swipe the air or gets out of the way. Same for Ayton.
    Can't they bench Ayton? Because they desperately need someone who is willing to put up some resistance at the rim.

37. Without Austin for 4 weeks, it's going to be rough.

38. LeBron picked up his player option for this season at 52 million dollars. That's the real problem. He never should have had a player option to begin with at his age. He should have been on 1 year contracts for the last few years. He ran the Lakers for years and Jeanie Buss just took orders. Now the chickens have come home to roost. It sure would have been nice to have had that 52 million dollars to build the roster. Buyout market players (Ayton, Smart) and overpaid marginal vets (Gabe, Kleba) is not going to get it done. It also doesn't help to waste a roster spot on Bronny. There will be no championships until LeBron is off the roster.

39. yeah we re clockworking bout defence ; but we can not be elite even good defensive team bc of personel. at best lakers can have slightly above avarage def without trade.
    but what is dissappointing , especilly in december; lakers had unconsistant , unorginazed, prayball offence which unnaccaptable.
    wheter in first quarter or 3rd; they let it loose offensively ;making silly turnovers , having bad shoot selections which making defence impossible, while they re already struggling even in halfcourt situations at that point.
    coaching crew and offence creators( luka, lebron, austion whoever on the court) should be accountble bout that fix that immeadietly. than we should say ;yeah maybe lets trade x player to improve our defence we have enough offence to contend.
    lakers "potentially " great offence, but they re bad lately on the court.

40. Newsflash Locked on Lakers, new SCAPEGOAT, THE BABY smh

41. Ayton's performance tonight is why Portland bought out his contract. He's low motor. He started the yr with more energy and now the old Ayton is back.

42. LA let go of the rope in the 4th???🤣 The Pistons played with their food for 3 quarters, then simply put the belt to ass in the 4th!!! Anybody think Detroit wasn't in full control of that whole game???
