Lou Williams in bubble is what media thought Waiters & Smith would be

Like I said on the podcast last night, Lakers problem was a defense that allowed the Heat to score 111 points. Lakers team defense rating for last night was 119.4. That’s pathetic for a close out game and why the Lakers lost.

Take the time to watch this thread and you’ll be pissed at how many brain dead plays the Lakers made that the Heat took advantage of, not that the Heat didn’t play crappy defense too, which is why the game was close. Vogel should focus on this rather than complaining about the refs.

Does Rajon Rondo have a place on the Lakers when he returns?

As curious as Lakers fans were to see what Rondo would do in the postseason, the team is probably better off building up synergy between their new-look bench unit and letting Rondo be a leader from the sidelines. Doing anything else would be a mistake on Vogel’s part, unless Rondo’s role is minimal.

Every player reaches a point in their careers where they have to let other players fill their role, and with the talent the Lakers have at the guard positions, Rondo has reached his. Let’s hope locker room politics don’t get in the way of that natural progression, which is directly tied to the team’s postseason success.
