Vando started 11/12 games. That left 3 defensive players on the lineup to cover for Reaves & Dlo. That’s enough to be a solid defensive team.
When Vando got played off the floor by the Nuggets it impacted everything. Vando was clueless on offense, crashing boards because he couldn’t do anything else and it led to hella fast break opportunities. Ok so he gets subbed out for Rui. Rui is a decent defender but he can’t guard Jokic. People calling Rui a Jokic defender was dumb (Bron was the better Jokic defender but you need his legs for offense), it only “worked” because it let AD protect the paint and play weak side help.
Basically, at the wcf level you need all of your players to be 2 way players or at least decent each way. Look at Dlo’s defensive rating for the WCF. Look at AD’s defensive rating with Dlo and without Dlo.
This is what I mean when I say AD discourse is so broken. They want him to be the greatest defensive player of all time while simultaneously having 35% usage and putting up 30 ppg.
Combo of the supporting cast not doing enough (sans Rui/Reaves) and Bron-AD being merely good and not great (besides AD in game one/Bron in game four).Sometimes you just dont have enough gas and talent.
Aside from Reeves and Rui the role guys didnt do enough
Nah we just want him to be the best player on the floor every night for the vast majority of the time for at minimum for the Lakers like he's supposed to have been since 2020. But either his brittle body or lackadaisical attitude has prevented that an subsequently the team has suffered for it.
Everyone has bad games, not saying they don't, hell I was the one championing him as BITW after that run in 2020 before anyone. Thing is THAT guy has only been seen in spurts and almost inexplicably this postseason every other game. For a 38 year old to play every minute in an elimination game and this dude to be sitting on the sideline and not really have had an impact on said game is embarrassing for someone of his talent level. Always the same refrain to after every subpar performance, I gotta look in the mirror, I gotta be better for Bron how he said last night in the press conference but it's just talk.
They've been trying to hand him the keys for 3 seasons now and he refuses to take them. That's not a franchise guy especially for THIS one.
