Choosing a player based on how he did in practice alone should not be considered on that only. Yes, a player will show his best in practice to impress the team. But most importantly, is how he was actually played against the other teams in his most recent teams. Yes, it's also important the championship experience but that was long time ago. Now, the legit big men center are younger and faster opponents. I wish Lakers good luck and hope that they will make it in the finals.
I watch a lot of basketball and let me tell you this. Lakers are slow when they turning it on. It won't happen because the grizz talk too much. Lakers will bring it. Gentlemen sweep. Grizz win one game
Idk Thompson is going to be able to step into playoff basketball with no minutes played all season. Also, if they have no confidence in MO Bamba, why is he the only 7-footer on the roster?
Y does everyone want boogie as if we need offense 😂 bro we need a hustle player and versatile defender for high pick n rolls it’s so obv tht y’all don’t watch the games..ad wants no business out there w ja but Tristan’s made a career off defending curry in high pnr so he’s had great exp…no one wants boogies attitude and fuck it mentality 😂💯
I actually agree that Tristan Thompson should be moved to second C for lakers because it will take the workload away from Davis for rebounding and doing the dirty work with champion and playoff experience
Mo is a project with tremendous upside. He is young, athletic, can shoot the 3 and can play defense. The thinking is he will benefit greatly from being around a winning culture and franchise, and from being around players with that mentality and preparation. Mo Bamba will help the Lakers with championship runs, just not this championship run. Go Lakeshow🎉
WHATS THE USED OF THOMPSON WHEN THEY SIGNED HIM AND HAM I IGNORING HIM, NOT EVEN ULITILIZING IN FIVE MINUTES, THOMPSON CAN GET REBOUNDS, ASSIST, STEAL AND HUSTLE, MAY BE HAM WILL PLAY INSTEAD OF THOMPSON. AND WHY BAMBA IS NOT USED BECAUSE HAM HAS NO TRUST IN BAMBA, MAY BE HAM WILL PLAY FOR BAMBA, UNTIL DAVIS GET INJURED, THESE TWO PLAYERS, BAMBA AND THOMPSON WILL ONLY DESTROY CHEMISTRY, THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THE FLOOR BECAUSE HAM IS HESITANT TO USED THEM
everythin g you say is straight facts. but the problem here is their coach. a lot of people notice he aint verstile. you see what happen against wolf. lakers were not hitting 3s and one of their sniper loonie walker was never utilize
GOOD AFTERNOON PO PLEASE RESPECT MY PERSONAL ADVISE STRONG FIRST 5 LINE UP TEAM EFFORT AND STRONG MOTIVATION LALO LALO SA DEFENSA GOD BLESS TO ALL PLAYERS OF LAKERS GO GO WIN WIN, SUPPORTER FOREVER,
Bamba maybe tall and has shooting but he is soft and needs to work on his defense. Gabriel and Thompson can play off the bench… Better yet coach ham can opt to start Thompson then slide Davis to power forward then Vanderbilt then shift lebron to guard plus reaves… It's going to be tough for Memphis lol
It’s coach decision on who plays nd that’s where darvin ham is not seeing it, it’s play off time give everyone minutes because it will take a toll on your players each game with barely rest. He needs to consider every player in rotation now . Go hard or go home. Idc bout what they do in practice they all know how to play , just unleash every player that’s what builds chemistry in the play off . And leads to wins
I think Tristan would be a huge upgrade to our bench especially when it comes to rebounding, rim protection and playoff experience. Tristan has won a title playing with LeBron in Cleveland. I would also love to see Mo Bamba getting some playoff minutes.
Ham has so many questionable decisions with the rotation. There are so many players he could have and should have used. Just hope he uses the size advantage that the Lakers have over the grizzlies and not be in love with hid 3 guard lineups that clearly was a detriment to the team

Should the Los Angeles Lakers experiment with Tristan Thompson against the Memphis Grizzlies?
This dude act like he haven’t went against y’all guys during his career
I rather see bamba play.
why they signed someone who can't shoot? 😂
I want to see MO come on MO
Not only try Tristan but they should seriously consider including him in the rotation during the playoffs

Everyone is talking about Tristan helping down low, but what about Mo Bamba getting playing time?

Thompson know what Bron wants and it’s going to slow the Guzzles down from dunking and lay ups

I dont see Ham playing Thompson at all

I’m going to put it out there. If Tristan Thompson’s footwork was as good as his 3rd leg work on those 304s he would be HOF
Mo is a project with tremendous upside. He is young, athletic, can shoot the 3 and can play defense.

Bro this nicca not even in shape
Problem is Will Darvin Ham will Play Thompson 🤷🏽♂️🤔
Thompson sucks however I think he’s a better option than Gabriel
Lakers 100%
I like tt out there with AD

Let's go Lakers 🎉

El king le rapea la nba 🎉
Hay bobo
That's a very nice moves to get Davis prevail in his power forward position
Yo it’s common sense put another big in when Davis goes to bench with Thompson or mo get a grip
Ham you clown
Triston places good with leabron hes a great offensive rebounder and is good defender
If nothing else Thompson can take hard fouls and wear out Jackson, then let AD eat.
I think he should definitely get a shot at the grizzlys
I think Tristan would be a huge upgrade to our bench especially when it comes to rebounding, rim protection and playoff experience. Tristan has won a title playing with LeBron in Cleveland. I would also love to see Mo Bamba getting some playoff minutes.
Should of signed cousins and move AD back to the 4. Pelinka gonna pay for that this yr! Thompson washed he was on ESPN retired.
make Shaq Harrison and play against Grizz …. Harrison in place of DLo … Thompson with AD together on court
T. Thompson is more versatile and efficient than Mo Bamba … include also Harrison on the rotation or him in place of DLo
Xavier Tillman killed the lakers on the glass last time they played.
Thompson is shite ⛳
Ham has so many questionable decisions with the rotation. There are so many players he could have and should have used. Just hope he uses the size advantage that the Lakers have over the grizzlies and not be in love with hid 3 guard lineups that clearly was a detriment to the team
But AD and Tristan are very different players, don’t you think?
I’m excited to see if they will use Tristan vs the grizzlies though 👀
Play Thompson, see what they have.
Play with Davis and without.
tt is trash. not an nba player.
I swear if Ham still put Wenyen at 5 imma go insane
Fuk no they should save him as a reward for getting to the second round when everyone else will be gassed
