It was sloppy overall for the Lakers as they were trying to move the ball. Still feel like a team that's trying to figure out who they are. And you could tell that one in this. It just felt like they were discombobulated throughout. And so Charlotte took advantage. They're like, hey, you're going to let us get into this basketball game. Sure. Why not? We'll take this one.

S. Now that we see it, Mark Williams would not have been good enough to elevate. No, no. Mark Williams would not have been good enough. I don't know if there was a solution to this Lakers defense other than Anthony Davis staying there. That would have been the solution.

Yeah, fair enough. No, there were a few possessions, especially in the clutch where, you know, teams tend to especially teams that are playing small like the Lakers, like they finish. out with Dorian Finney-Smith and Jared Vanderbilt. They're trying to pre-switch everything to get LeBron out of actions, get Luka out of, out of actions.

There was one possession where they tried to double Lomelo ball and Luka is guarding Lomelo and, you know, they double him, but then he doesn't rotate over to get the guy in the corner, ends up being a wide open three for Nick Smith Jr. And so there's just, there's little wrinkles like that where you can see their defense falling apart.

And so if you are having this switch everything mentality that they're trying to have, you got to, you got to rotate over. You've got to be in front of the guy.

I think even in that year with Dallas, they still had some bigs to go to. Maxie Kleber was another big that they could go to. Dwight Powell was another guy, God bless his soul, could still be able to be a guy who could play some minutes for you. This Lakers team is relying on Jackson Hayes, who has been playing well, playing better, but Alex Lenn does not play the part here.

Yeah, and I'm not worried about Luka's rust. He just couldn't hit anything tonight. And I think part of that is probably the vacation and coming off of six weeks of missing games and trying to get your legs right under you. There were a couple of possessions where you could see the connection between LeBron and Luka.
