Starting point is 00:01:19 That's right. No need to win to get the bonus. It's guaranteed. Prize picks run your game. We noted, Andy, after the game against the Nets there on Friday, the Lakers are going to have to play significantly better if they were going to beat the Clippers. And what we saw was that they didn't. And a game that they won, they scored 102 points in each of them against the nets. That was good for a one point win against the Clippers. It was good for a 14 point loss.

Starting point is 00:01:52 There are problems right now on both sides of the ball for the Lakers, particularly against better teams in the league. But in particular, the offense has become a real issue. And in a lot of ways, it reflects what you. and I are instant reaction to the DFS trade, which we both said we liked, particularly as a playoff trade and what they were looking for in the postseason. And obviously, Dilo's postseason issues well documented don't need to be relitigated, yada, yada, yada. But as we both said, during the regular season, and this was always the complicating factor with trading Dilo

Starting point is 00:02:34 in the first place, he's a very useful player for 82 games. The other 16, say whatever you want about it, but the 82 games, they're having a difficult time, I think, replicating in particular his ability to move the ball without turning it over. I also think in a lot of ways they are missing his dedication, again, for all of Delo's faults, his dedication to trying to run an actual offense while he's on the court. And even if, again, if it's not, um, Dilo running in a case of the quicker, right, just, but just there's an, there a certain semblance of organism, even if it's sort of improvised pick and roll, lead and react kind of

Starting point is 00:03:27 stuff, there, they've lost the sense of, uh, sort of control. that they had and flow and some sense of organization, even if the plays themselves are not called sets from the sidewalk. And I also think, and this is something I've brought up before, and I remember the comments section on the YouTube page, took a lot of issue with this, and that's fine. Always feel free to disagree with anything Brian or I say, but I think this has been an issue for the Lakers over the season.

Starting point is 00:03:58 I think it was an issue tonight. they take way too long to get into their stuff and get into anything. I mean, even if they're going to improvise and wing it the whole time, they take too long to get to the winging it section. And that, I think, plays at least a part, like a tangible part in the reason why they have been turning the ball over a lot of late. They had 17 tonight, which turned into 21 points for the clippers. they often, because they take so long to start doing anything, leave themselves with very little time to do anything productive, which often leads to passes made from desperation.

Starting point is 00:04:42 And then you just start getting into times where, since they're not doing anything, I think, super specific offensively, it leads to guys naturally not always being on the same page together. Yeah, and I think the speed question here is, it's all related to what you're talking about. Like the, you get into stuff slower because, you know, the organization is just, you know, a step or two off. And you're, you know, the ball pressure affects them a little bit more because they have in the starting lineup, back when Delo Reeves and LeBron were all there, you had three ball handlers, ball movers. Then you dropped down to two. But at all times, you tended to have at least two of those guys out on the floor, most times. You had at least two of those guys on the floor.

Starting point is 00:05:26 We didn't you had Anthony Davis, who served as sort of a fulcrum in a different way to draw attention and things like that. And so now you're operating from a real deficit in that sense. And, you know, I get, still, it's not like that, you know, you have choices that you have to make. And you make the choice with DFS, like that Doreen-FINY Smith addresses an issue for our team, like you say, particularly come playoff time. that is going to be very important for us. Shores up the defense, gives us a legitimate 3-&D wing guy that the team hasn't had. Now, I will say this.

Starting point is 00:06:07 We'll get to it maybe over the course of the show or this week. It needs to play more. I think if you're going to have a team, I think you need to bump up that role something more significant. But, you know, he didn't score on Sunday. And so you look through the lineup. And the first thing that I always, I do now, is I look at what the big two slash big three,

Starting point is 00:06:31 if you want to call it that for the Lakers, including Austin Reeves in there, what did they do in this game? And the output was not nearly enough. You got 16 points from Anthony Davis, 5 of 14 from the floor. You got 25 from LeBron. That's pretty good.

Starting point is 00:06:51 9 of 20 from the floor. But after scoring 38 points on Friday, Austin Reeves was back down to 14. So you're talking 55 points from your three best players. And the Lakers. He had more turnover, Austin, than he had baskets in this game.

Starting point is 00:07:05 That's not good. No. And that is not enough. And it's, you know, it sucks that you have a team that's sort of set up where, you know, you're going to need a,

Starting point is 00:07:18 you know, a big chunk of points from three guys, basically every night. But that's what the Lakers, are 55 points from those three guys is almost never going to win a game. Unless you can, unless I think you're operating the offense and distributing the ball in ways where like say, Rui had 19, 9 of 14 from the field, seven rebounds. If you're moving the ball to where other guys can get more shots and they actually make

Starting point is 00:07:51 them, in theory, more performances across the board. like Ruiz tonight could offset a night where, say, Austin only has 14, but that gets to another thing. And here's a, I'm not going to say that this is the point in the game where it was lost because the Lakers had enough time from what I'm about to talk about to try to shore things up. And, you know, just in general, 48 minutes, it's hard to pin it down to one thing. But there was a stretch late in the second quarter for about two-ish minutes, like two to three, where neither LeBron nor Austin was on the court. And the Lakers deficit went from six to 12 very quickly.

Starting point is 00:08:37 That cannot happen. You cannot have any even single minute over the 48, assuming you're still playing to win, where LeBron or Austin are not on the court. And that's, that is on JJ to recognize you can't do that. Like it was, I believe a group of Gabe, Dalton, Max, Rui, and AD. And I recognize that that's a point where you would look to run things through AD and that and that's fine. Makes sense. But if Gabe is your principal floor general, your offense will not run well enough.

Starting point is 00:09:18 it simply will not function. Especially given that there's no other ball movers there. There's no other organ, there's no secondary. Like,

Starting point is 00:09:29 Christie's not good at that. It's, we know that the secondary ball mover in that situation is AD. Right. You know, it's, and that it's just,

Starting point is 00:09:38 there's, there's so much going on here that, you know, yes, you are correct. If you have, you know, Rui got his points

Starting point is 00:09:45 that make up maybe a little bit for, either AD or Reeves or either AD or Austin but you know you then you get you know 10 from Christie that's that's sort of the baseline there but then you know only one rebound one assist

Starting point is 00:09:59 one block was you know the other stuff Christy wasn't there you know tough defensive assignments but still but no points I mentioned from DFS on only three shots Gabe Vincent had four points you did get you know four from Jackson Hayes on a couple dunks Alley Oops and connect hit a you know a shot

Starting point is 00:10:17 late. I was going to say another three-pointer in the second half. His 10 points are misleading. They are. He did have at least one three and that's, you know, one of his threes, his two threes came in that stretch where the Lakers were trying to get themselves back in the game. But after the break, I just, I want to get into the place where I am, I feel like we are reaching, you know, if you want to start making judgments about JJ Reddick and the work he's doing, where I feel it's just most nakedly obvious that things aren't going well right now. We'll get to it next.

Starting point is 00:12:26 and a bunch of NBA analysis from around the channel delivered to you every day. Definitely worth a sign up on your part. We certainly appreciate it if you could do that. And again, keep up with the show. So look, I am generally deferential to a lot of things,

Starting point is 00:12:43 you know, that happen on the things that, you know, going on in the locker room, reasons why a coaching staff does X, Y, and Z? Are you scripting something that isn't being executed? Whatever it is. All I can tell you is this.

Starting point is 00:13:01 I did never really expect it for the Lakers to be an excellent defensive team or even a good defensive team. And that they've had moments where it seemed like, oh, that's better than I thought. I consider that to be a win. I did expect that this regime would be able to usher in a better and more coherent offense than what they were able to do last year. And for the first stretch of the season, they certainly did. But the quality of the offense,

Starting point is 00:13:31 just not even looking at like they scored 102 points in consecutive games, the points per game is really plummeted to an unsustainable level in the modern NBA and all that other stuff. You can just look at what they do and how they do it and compare it to the teams that they're playing. even bad teams and look at it and say, that's not right. That is not good. And that is something that is deteriorated over the course of the season that JJ Reddick and the coaching staff have not been able to fix.

Starting point is 00:14:05 And if it's whether it's because the players that they have can't implement what they're trying to do or the coaching staff isn't doing the right stuff or both. this level of performance for the offense is going to have them back in the play in and possibly worse if it doesn't improve quickly. Yeah, it's devolved pretty quickly in terms of, I think, not just execution and the ability to put points on the board, but I feel like discipline. I've harped on this a lot over the course of the season. I don't think that they have the discipline or the patience to run through a lot of what feels like just organized sets.

Starting point is 00:14:50 They don't, I think, look for AD, not even to be the primary score, but just the primary focal point that that is the way they looked best at the beginning of the season, whether it's also a matter of teams adjusting to that and the Lakers not having the adjustments to the adjustments. This is the part where JJ Reddick as a new head coach, this is always something difficult, I think more difficult for him than everybody else around the league because quite literally everybody else is more experienced than him. But I also think that some of this is, you know, when I talk about the lack of urgency at times, I think as a collective with this team, it's not just a matter of playing hard,

Starting point is 00:15:36 even though that's obviously part of the equation. The urgency is how dialed in you are to everything that you're. you're supposed to be doing and how willing you are to go through steps one through 10 with each one as opposed to, I think often trying to, if you can, skip from one to four to seven to 10 and see if you can get away with it a lot. I think not all of their turnovers, but some of their turnovers to me feel like the mark of impatience. Like they throw a lot of hit ahead passes that Just like, guys, don't. Like, just don't.

Starting point is 00:16:14 Yeah, I see that. Like, run your damn sets. Like, do the things you're supposed to be doing. Because I know that what they have been doing offensively over the last couple months is not what they're supposed to be because the version of what they're supposed to be doing, we saw. Like, we actually saw a different version of it. Again, if it's a matter of the league adjusting and they don't.

Starting point is 00:16:42 know what to do from there, fine, but it's not, that's not my read on it. We also should make sure, just let it be known because this affects potentially how the offense will be run moving forward. Austin Reeves late in the fourth quarter, injured his knee, couldn't finish the game. Bang knees with Dorian Finney Smith. Yeah, maybe if it had been a tighter game, he would have played through it. But at the same time, JJ said he wasn't sure. how long, if at all, this will keep him out. Reeves said after the game that he expects to play against Washington on Tuesday. But we'll see.

Starting point is 00:17:22 I mean, these things always feel better the next day. I mean, rephrase. They always, it looks different the next day. So, you know, he, it looked like he bang knees with DFS specifically. But yeah, I mean, look, if this gets to sort of the structural problem, if Reeves misses a game, you've got one. reliable initiator, you know, and

Starting point is 00:17:45 that Vincent is fine, but I don't know what the right answer is. I agree with you that there's a lot of impatience there, and I think the league is absolutely adjusted to the stuff that the Lakers were doing effectively at the beginning of the season, and you see a lot of guys, you know, I know, I

Starting point is 00:18:07 know we refer to the Lakers exceptionalism pod, and those folks over there who really chart this stuff, saying that, you know, the Lakers just aren't countering stuff terribly effectively. And so, you know, the league is doing things differently. And they're, they're working much harder, I think, first and foremost, to make Anthony Davis, you know, Anthony Davis not beat them. You have individual things like, you know, the, the availability of offense for Rui Hachamor ebbs and flows. The complete. disappearance of Dalton connect from the offense has a massive impact on things because there's just

Starting point is 00:18:48 not any consistent bench scoring any consistent secondary scoring like you're getting double digits a night from Christie which is good but you know it's like there's you got to get to 115 in in in the NBA of 2025 you need to be scoring somewhere in that 110 115 or better range on a nightly basis. The Lakers are barely clearing 100 on many nights. And they just can't, they can't get away with it. And they're not, they're not talented enough to be able to sort of play imperfect basketball and imprecise basketball to your point.

Starting point is 00:19:37 You know, on too many nights like tonight, they hit nine three-pointers. You're not going to win a lot of NBA games with nine three-pointers. The Clippers hit 11, which is really low. But the difference is the Clippers shot 58% in the first half of the game. The Lakers were under. Well, they also, the Clippers had 10 or 13 more recorded possessions in this game. The free throw battle, the Lakers, it was 19 to 14, but that that's essentially a wash.

Starting point is 00:20:13 Right. And by the way, that that field goal disparity that you're talking about was bigger through most of the game. The Lakers, when they made their, you know, late, they were trying. They were trying to get back in the game. When they made that, they turned the clippers over three or four times

Starting point is 00:20:29 over the course of that rally, which shrank that margin a little bit. But again, there's a difference between context matters. It matters if that run happens when you're, already down by 22 against a good team versus when you're you win it's a tie game well and also too the the amount of possessions that the clippers had more than the lakers was a direct reflection of a particular matchup where the lakers absolutely lost and it's a matchup or a scenario where if the lakers lose this matchup, they more often than not lose games.

Starting point is 00:21:12 So getting to that coming up next. Lockdown Lakers is brought to you by Fandul from the first whistle to the final drive.

I thought the player of the game, not just for the Clippers, but period was a vizzoobots. There were nice performances, I think, kind of across the board for the Clippers, like Kauai Leonard, 19 points in just 24 minutes, 9 and 13 from the field, James Hardin, low shooting percentage, but still had 12 assists, 21 points, had a couple. It had a pretty positive impact on the game, I thought. Yeah, a couple pretty big buckets. and Norm Powell, he deserves, I think, to be on the All-Star team, man.

Starting point is 00:22:47 He has been so good this year. And, you know, another strong night from 22 points, 9 of 17 from the field, also had three steals. But Aviza Zubats in this game, 21 points on 9 is 16 from the field, 19 rebounds, eight on the offensive glass, eight. The Lakers had five as a team. Aviza Zubots had eight plus three assist and three blocks. Like his impact on both ends of the floor in this game was not just fantastic. It was way more productive and effective than what Anthony Davis did.

Starting point is 00:23:30 And I agree with you. I was just going to say the Lakers rarely win games where AD, if you look at his counterpart, outplays him, like in that decisive a manner and out impacts him, like that specific counterpart, the Lakers rarely win games. And I'm willing to give AD a little bit of grace here on the defensive side because, you know, some of these offensive boards and opportunities open up because Davis is sort of expected to be in 17 places at once and can't do it. If he's got to come off and help, it opens the glass and all these other things.

Starting point is 00:24:11 And there are a lot of times where he had to just, you got to react to try to protect. And either that leaves a player like Zubots open to get an easy offensive rebound or another play, like there's just too much of that. But on the other side, 5 of 14, just can't. I mean, you can't have five buckets for him. And if you are going to get five buckets for him. Anthony Davis, he needs to come with, you know, 17 trips to the free throw line or something like that.

Starting point is 00:24:45 We have spoken many times. The everydayers, certainly, I think, have heard it before. The Lakers are constructed in a way that their star players have to produce every night. That's it. And some nights are going to be more efficient than others. Some nights you're going to look at AD and he's going, oh, yeah, he got his 27. but it took, you know, 26 shots to get there. It wasn't a great night.

Starting point is 00:25:12 The statistics are misleading or whatever, but he got there. 16 is not enough. Five field goals is not enough. And, you know, six free throw trips is not enough. And I'm not blaming it just on him because, as we mentioned, Reeves is in, you know, was what didn't provide it. I think, you know, AD's foot, I doubt is even moderately healthy. He's being asked to do twice as much work as he ought to have to do on the defensive side of the ball.

Starting point is 00:25:45 Be that as it may. I mentioned Andy before, I don't know if it sounded alarmist to people, but I think I said it in the cold open. The Lakers got to figure this out or it's going to, you know, before it's too late. There are only three games behind Denver as games finish on Sunday night. There are only three games behind Denver for the four spot. The Lakers are 22 and 18, 12 games behind Oklahoma City, but, you know, again, three behind Denver. They are only three and a half games ahead of St. Antonio, who is in 12. I know.

Starting point is 00:26:19 And if you ask me, which three game gap feels more relevant right now? It is not the three games that they are behind Denver. It is not too early to sound the alarm. And they just, they're so bad and so out of sorts right now on offense. I don't think they can play really good defense while the offense is this bad. JJ actually alluded to that after the game about how this, this was a night where the offense failed the defense. And he even said, like, you look for your offense to help out your defense. And it's something we stress a lot that good offense often allows for the best version of your defense.

Starting point is 00:27:08 But part of that defense is the eight offensive rebounds that Zubots was allowed to get. Like the Lakers lost the second chance points battle 15 to 7, which isn't great. You know, might not sound incredibly lopsided. But then when you combine that with 17, I mean 17 turnovers that became 21, one Clippers points. Like in a lot of ways, that's your ballgame. And even if you want to put away the numbers and you just look at impact and control of a game, Zubot's completely outplayed AD.

Starting point is 00:27:50 And you are correct that the asks of AD are high. That is also the, that's the terrain that comes with being. a superstar that is also to quote Don Draper, that's what the money is for. No question. This is the gig. I don't say that to sound like some fake hard ass or whatever. No, and I wasn't trying to, I wasn't even contextualizing it in an effort to spare him from the criticism.

Starting point is 00:28:20 Only, you know, I again, I just, you know, from the offensive side, that's to me is where I look at the defense. It's like, okay, like, but the offense, like, again, like, he's being out of play. and he cannot be outplayed as good of a season as Zubots is having. AD can't get outplayed like that. No. And, you know, the Lakers, we've mentioned this many times. Like, they can be a good team.

Starting point is 00:28:45 The margin of error that they are lacking, which came up also post-game with JJ, they need to shrink it as much as they can in their favor through the control that they have over games. Like you're not going to play perfect. Like there are some nights where you do the right things and the shots don't drop or teams hit difficult shots against you or the ball bounces. You know, there was a play where the Lakers played really good defense and the Clippers ended up retaining possession because a miss bounced off Rui's face and went out of bounds. Like the offensive rebound just ricocheted. Like weird bleep happens.

Starting point is 00:29:29 but they need to control what is controllable more than they have been doing of late. And again, I think a lot of that gets back to just like a sense of urgency when they are on the floor that I don't think is necessarily this group's collective makeup. And I think it's hard to show. It's hard for that urgency because, again, I think Redick says, thought they played hard. And I don't think they loafed their way through this Clipper game. It's not even what I'm talking about.

Starting point is 00:30:04 I know. And so a lot of times when people hear a sense of urgency, they're not trying. They're not playing hard enough. And I think they do need to, I think, crank it up whenever they can, like even if it feels unsustainable for the rest of the season. When you are this discombobulated,

Starting point is 00:30:23 when you're this disorganized, when you have clearly lost confidence in what you're trying to, to do. It's hard to get that urgency. It's hard to, you know, because you're like grasping at nothing. Like there's nothing there to hold on to you, to tie the group together.

Starting point is 00:30:44 To get that that feeling back of like when, you know, okay, we are playing with a sense of purpose and a sense of togetherness and a sense of urgency and all this stuff. You know, it's, and I'm not saying they all hate each other. But the on-court product, you remember, I think it was like the Oakland days, they used to call it, like, you know, 24 players, 24 taxi cabs. Like they all leave because they hated each other.

Starting point is 00:31:06 They all leave in, you know, separate cabs from the stadium. None of them want to hang out together. The Lakers are doing the basketball equivalent of that on the court where it's like five different guys on the floor, none of whom seem to be connected in any meaningful way to the other guys. And until that gets fixed, until like all of these circles and moving parts line up again in a way that is coherent to the people on the floor. None of this is going to look good.

Starting point is 00:31:36 They're not going to get, you know, they're going to look a step slow. They're going to look confused. They're going to look all that stuff. Because they kind of are. And I don't know exactly what they're going to do to fix it because it's not like they are flush with so much offensive talent that they can kind of just lean on it to get them through. It's fortunate right now that a lot. lot of the teams chasing them are dealing with their own stuff. Like Dallas is going to be

Starting point is 00:32:07 without Luca for a while. And they've got other injuries as well that they're dealing with. You know, the sons are kind of a mess. The Timberwolves keep taking two steps forward, three steps backward. The warriors are kind of a mess. Like they are lucky that there are not, other than the kings who, you know, ever since firing, Mike Brown say however much you want to say it's connected or not, they have been winning a lot of games ever since then. The other teams behind the Lakers are reasonably helping them out, but you can't count on that forever. No.

Starting point is 00:32:47 Like at some point, you need to be, you need to be the team that's doing yourself the favors as opposed to relying on the rest of the rest of the teams behind you to keep screw it up. And look at it, and injured. And, you know, so you get Washington on Tuesday. We can quit here. We'll talk about, you know, ahead of the game on Tuesday. But, like, you know, Washington comes down Tuesday. That's a game got to win.

Starting point is 00:33:08 I mean, there's just no, it's the next version of the Brooklyn game. You just have to figure out, poorly as you're playing, have to win that game. I actually think they will. But then it's the Celtics. I don't care where you're playing that game. That's not an easy one. As sort of off as the Celtics have been. their standards. They're still pretty good. And from there, they go on the road. And now the road
