Love your quick Dennis breakdown. Over here in Germany, when he came into the league, he was considered a great pesty defender. But that view of him changed somehow (maybe because he really struggled, it's possible). But he got his shit together recently, led Germany national team to some success (which we don't have that often!) and has earned his spot on the Lakers. And he seems to care more again which leads directly to him being a good, nerve-wrecking and pesty defender again!

AD got his confidence back and like lebron said winning is all gonna be up to him. It’s time for AD to take over for bron and the teams behind it. Let the old man rest easy 💪

The Lakers put on a master class on how to utterly destroy a team in game 6. Never saw a team so utterly dominate another team in the playoffs. It wasn't like the Grizzlies were ice cold or the Lakers were red hot or the Lakers just utterly outmatched the Grizzlies with talent. Grizzlies were cold but that was because of the stifling defense that the Lakers put on for three straight quarters until the Grizzlies called it quits on an elimination game for the entire fourth quarter basically. Honestly, they could've called it quits midway through the third. The Lakers used that stifling defense to then fuel their offense and played smart basketball.

Tbh, I feel like the closer the lakers are to a chip, the more Lebron will commit on defense. I think this is a scary realization, especially in this upcoming series. It seems that the lakers have confidence in DLO, Schroder, and reaves handling the ball for most of the game which paves the way for more defensive opportunities for Lebron. Against a warriors team with multiple offensive threats, it’d be huge if Lebron can take a guy out defensively. Not curry per se, but consistently taking out wiggins or klay would be a huge contribution if Lebron feels comfortable in taking on the task.

this Lakers team is exciting. defensively they look unbelievable, and when the offense get's rolling, it can really get rolling. honestly their biggest issue is trying to play too much hero ball and run too many iso plays causing them to just stall when the shots don't fall. I know part of that is just comes down to exhaustion, but if they keep up the movement, PnRs, and passing they can cause some real damage this post season.
