There have been quite a few games early in the season where the Lakers shot a poor percentage, but their defense helped them get the win. I understand that playing defense for them is new, but DAMNIT AT LEAST SHOW SOME EFFORT!

It’s one thing to have a blueprint for stopping us,
but it’s a different story for executing it.

We’re in a struggle right now, good thing still able to get wins.
December ball, plenty of games to improve.

bynum needs to play defense…he’s not getting his minutes, so he takes more shots, our offense is now stag…more offense from him means less defense from him…we pay bynum to play defense..we pay others to play offense..when bynum stops taking 12-15 shots a game and focuses back to defense, he’ll get his minutes and we’ll get our proper victories

Teams have seen the tapes of the Laker games from earlier this season and have made the adjustments. The Lakers now need to make theirs.

The Phoenix game last night was a defensive joke on the part of the Lakers. I saw consistently watched Suns guards and forwards driving past their defenders as if the Lakers welcomed them in, and other laker players would not help out on defense. Also, when the Lakers tried to play D, they were very soft at it just standing there with hands up without even trying to intimidate or contest shots.

The Lakers are still “soft” and they’re soft at the most crucial aspect of their game Defense.
