5) My goodness…The Los Angeles Lakers can’t stop anybody down low! 

JaVale McGee might have made about 10-15 million dollars already. Because this dude plays so hard. He competed and I really hope the Lakers fans appreciate it. The problem is that he can’t play the entire night. On offense? No issues, he runs the floor hard and  finishes at the basket. The only problem is he fouled out with 16 points and eight rebounds.

Forget the LeBron James misses, the Lakers lost because they had no answer for LaMarcus Aldridge. Zubac showed just enough to show everyone that he needs seasoning in the G-League. Aldridge destroyed him. A ton of this was on him, but the Lakers have the worst defensive rotations in the league. Zubac looked awful and his teammates left him out in the cold every time Aldridge took him down low. But we have a found a replacement…

Hello Johnathan Williams! Another player that brings energy and plays hard!

To think the Lakers cut this dude! If Lakers fans were paying attention, he was brought back after the Blazers game because of the porous rim protection when McGee sits.

Williams needs a back up role people. Like Wednesday!

Look everyone! A hustle play. Dirty work! Anyone seen this the first two games!

How about some defensive intensity…

Hands up Mr. Williams…

What have we learned here. The Lakers can make the playoffs if they play hard. They lost tonight but they found the future! Now everyone can leave in the comment section that the Lakers will figure out because they actually started last night!

Finally…shout out to this guy!!!!
