Lakers Trash Defense Exposed in Another Blowout Loss
JJ Redick is beside himself at the lifeless Lakers defensive collapse in yet another blowout against another subpar team.

Slow defense = uncontested 3-pointers
JJ Redneck is such a bad coach. He still needs to be fired
Oh Skap, there's nothing sad about Lebron's career ending.
Life long laker fan checking…….LeBron needs to go….today….like now.
And whining.
They need to get Luka some defense.
The 2024 Mavs improved Luka's defense by putting great defenders around him and they covered up his weakness and made it easier for him to contribute on the defensive end. 112.6 reg and 108.2 playoffs. That's very good for someone who's not a defender.
Yet this Lakers team has maybe 1 or 2 defense around him ? Bron, Luka and AR are defensive liabilities, the Mavs had PJ, Gafford, DJJ were and even lively at times were basically covering for Lukas defense while he improved their offense. It was a cooperation, yet this Lakers team got no one like the Mavs team and no one who hustles like PJ.
This Lakers team was cooked when they chose not to add some defense and they really need to do it, heck trade LeBron for defenders
There’s no leadership in the NBA. When you let players dictate what you do, that’s what you get in the league.
I hate the fact that we still have to endure LeBum for at least another three months. The NBA needs to file a restraining order on this man-child.
Why isn’t JJ fired yet?
Lebron is the main reason for all of this. I don't what it is with LeBron but he is definitely hampering the team and every player's full capacity. We saw the potential of the Lakers at the beginning of the season. Everyone is unleashed, then Lebron came back and then what..back to the losing streaks. I like the Luke-Reaves led Lakers
No player is bigger than the team, the Lakers need to drop LBJ asap before he drags them down more.
I don’t like how LeBron is trying to rob Austin with a smile. Russ is right that guy is fake, he is so disingenuous
JJ is a flogger! Average nba player mediocre coach…give me the plumbers over this fool any day
ITS A COMPLETE CRAP!!! 🤣
mugsy bouges
Missing Lakers Austin Reaves and Dalton Knecht 😂😂
LeBron wants 25 seasons total so I figure he will limp along enough to complete that goal
Soon as Bronny Sr. came back, Lakers sucked.
10 years ago , lebron's hairline was starting commiting backcourt violations Now, his hairline is just on the sidelines☠
Brown stains will win the natty🛑 lakers in 5 you dam fools.
leflop shouldnt be mentioned along with kobe and mike.
Maybe we should have shootaround.
bron destroying his rep in real time luv to see it
Ayton gotta be the second softest player ever.. only to Lebum!!! Lebum has been a defensive liability since Jason Terry got a hold of him and he has been clutch time liability since his first Cleveland stay!!!
I bet the Lakers still shot more Free Throws…
Defense stuff is much more about effort; not scheme. So this makes sense.
Never seen an ego bigger than LeBlame James.
JJ please, don't bring the Celtics in the conversation. They build an excellent culture with accountability with unselfish 2 way players & intelligent coaching & player develpment. Lakers are just a freak show compare to Celtics organization.
It's hilarious. With lebron out they are a top 6 NBA team and with lebron they are falling like the bricks lebron throws up
Why would anyone be pumped to play a non- championship roster?😂😂😂
It's not the Lakers… it's LeFraud that STINKS. The decision to improve by at least 20% is straightforward. BENCH LeFraud. But they are too afraid to do it. So they will continue to lose.
Damn so many open shots. It's like they just praying "pls miss it".
Take Brons agents advice and trade Austin Reeves to the Bucks for Rollins and Kuzma.
But this was without future DPOY Austin Reaves. 😆🤣
Lebron messed up by not announcing retirement and making this his last year. Now he will probably do that this summer and the lakers have to suffer another year of putting him and luka on the floor to give him a farewell season.
Other teams have Lakers on the calendar bc it’s like playing in the AllStars no defense

You still are not a fan of The King? 😂😅😂
Damn all that. Why is your forehead so high? Lol, if it gets any higher, imma request a drug test.
