Like I get it, with the way we push the ball on offense, there will be easy buckets on the other end, but our lack of defensive effort goes beyond that.

So many easy buckets even in a half court set, it's pathetic.

Have watched every game this season... defense has been terrible in pretty much every game.

I wouldn’t say good yet but I’d say we are average maybe a little above.

Earlier in the year you could say the “team doesn’t even try on defense,” but to say that now is ignorant. We’ve improved a lot this year.

Not to mention that the Lakers size cannot be matched by this team. Many times you just have to take it when playing them.

I bit.

I would say that Lebron was just to much for the guys covering him tonight. Maybe Alvin Gentry can get out there and try guarding him. A player coach would me amazing. XD

were actually a top 14 team statistically defensively since Zion has been playing. Teams score so many points on us because we have 20 freaking turnovers a game and give them easy transition points.


The Lakers didn’t even shoot that great tonight. Giving them 14 Offensive board is unacceptable tho. Can thank favors for that

And you are right. We are improving on D. There is a reason the Lakers are the best team in the NBA. Their length was too hard to overcome. Bad defense is when we turn over the ball and can't get back.

We are probably middle of the pack in Defense so far this year.

We are a good team.

You do realize that on a per 100 possession basis, the Pels on defense last night were:

2 points better than they normally are with Zion
6 points better than they have been all season

Not bad for a team that doesn't even try on defense

Ngl the takes regarding this team have been really really bad the last couple of days/weeks.

So many people are throwing out observations that are not only unsupported by the facts, but also outright opposite of what the facts say.

The favors slander is the game thread is such a bad take but many latch on.

We need to be better.
