October 2019: 2 Laker Games
Vs LAC 10/22
I know it's only game 1 but LeBron has really declined in his ability to beat defenders off the dribble. The Lakers have no chance at winning the west, let alone a title, if this doesn't change. So I don't understand why he didn't post up basically at all when he's a beast down there.
Vs UTAH 10/25
No surprise that the Lakers offense was more effective in the 2nd half when AD moved to center. It makes no sense for him to do otherwise. He's so good as an alley-oop threat but that talent is very neutralized with a traditional center (McGee/Howard) in the way because those players offer little to no shooting so they make it hard for a player like Davis to have enough room to roll to the rim for an alley-oop pass. If he doesn't smarten up by realizing that he needs to play center ALL the time when he's on the floor, they're not winning the west let alone a title. Also, Bron's decline in his ability to beat defenders off the bounce is a problem even though he played great. That's an issue, if not fixed, that'll be hard to overcome in later playoff rounds against good defenses.

You likely wont agree with everything and that's ok because nobody agrees with every opinion, regardless of the subject. Just know that I tried my best to be objective as possible.
