Lakers have been getting smoked in first quarters all season regardless of who starts.Good result, terrible process.
OKC missed a bunch of open threes on Saturday because of the defensive miscommunication. They easily could've lost on Saturday and the total numbers since the starting lineup change would be even worse.
If this new starting lineup continues to be the most played lineup, it will lead to losses. They were only a +1 on Saturday in a game that AD and Bron went crazy. Ham is putting too much on AD and Bron and then the pressure shifts to the bench because the starting lineup digs themselves in a big hole like tonight.
I feel like even if you subbed out Austin for Cam you're still playing 3 on 5 or maybe 4 on 5 (Prince) which still isn't great against most good teams...
There was no lineup that was going to save this team from Boston.
Not defending the lineup, but I don't think it's the reason they lost tonight... tipping my cap to Boston for being better.
