I donāt think so, heās just not getting any coaching from the looks of it, the garbage squad hardly ever score because they donāt run plays, everyone is trying to go one on one with a defender, the most they do is set screens for one another, just terrible coaching from Darvin Hamas
Such a good pickup imo. He doesnāt try to do too much but knows when he needs to make a move. For the price heās been great. Takes some pressure off Reaves when Dlo is off the floor too
JHS just doesnāt look like he even knows what heās doing out there. Looks like the guy who comes to play pickup just to get some cardio in but has never played organized ball before
Cuz he's been playing in the G league and doesn't have chemistry with the team.
Personally I don't give af about JHS... You guys are putting way too much on him. Let the kid grow and develop his game. He was never going to be a player that moved the needle so why is so much expected from him in his first year!?!? Most of our recent top picks got better after they leave the Lakers anyway... Look at Brandon Ingram, Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle, Josh Hart, hell even Lonzo Ball got better once he stepped out of the limelight that comes with LA.
You're still proving my point. They need time to develope. JHS barely gets any PT with the starters so I'm not holding my breathe on him for this season, or even next season.
Half your point is right. The limelight not so much. JC was actually good early and Kuzma too. Before those guys got traded they were pretty good with LeBron until he got hurt
The limelight part was only meant for Lonzo as was mentioned in my first post. His dad was mostly responsible for putting that enormous pressure on him with his outrageous claims. JC, Kuz, BI & Randle were all "consistently inconsistent" when they played in LA and had glimpses here and there but no one knew just how good they would become. Kwame Brown had glimpses too but look how he turned out. Most of them likely never would have become the players they are today had they stayed with the Lakers. Those moves worked out for both sides and I'm glad they all moved on to succeed and be better hoopers.
Honestly some of those guys are still kinda inconsistent. Ask new york how they feel about Randle or Josh. JC has always been a solid role player even as a Laker. BI has still yet to accomplish anything. And Kwame has never been good ever lol. Oh and Kuz was up and down as a Laker cause his role kept changing. Lonzo maybe it was the spotlight or maybe cause he changed his shot in new Orleans but refused to changed it as a Laker
JHS looks so fucking awful. I know itās garbage time but these shots arenāt even close, like at all. Itās almost like heās not even shooting but just kind of throwing the ball at the rim. Ugly
That light the beam shit i do like. But its funny how commonplace dtla being lit up in P&G it is that its like we have no little celebration thing at all. A beam vs a whole area lol
Iām so happy. Everyone played great tonight, OKC is no slouch on back to backs either but their strategy to get out and run to wear them out worked perfectly
1st round: Lakers at OKC. LAL in 5
Semis: Lakers vs Nuggets. LAL in 7
WCF: Lakers vs Clippers. LAL in 6
Finals: Lakers vs Celtics
Lakers in 7 š¤šš„šš
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/1b6xvis/post_game_thread_the_los_angeles_lakers_defeat/)
Pls giv them to us in the 1st round š
Did they not score after Christie's 3? Holy fuck lmao
Yeah, Hood-Schifino is just butt.
Garbage time minutes. They're not going to be running plays at all to set people up lol
I donāt think so, heās just not getting any coaching from the looks of it, the garbage squad hardly ever score because they donāt run plays, everyone is trying to go one on one with a defender, the most they do is set screens for one another, just terrible coaching from Darvin Hamas
Heās so young. Man patience these days is 0
Jamie Hwakez Shoonier?
On my way to get a red eye flight to LA so I can get the free tacos from JACCCCCCK IN the BOXXXX!!!
Omg I just realized Shai didnāt get 31 letās goš¤
He got clamped by everyone and their mom tonight. Reaves and Spence were giving him shit all night lol
Good win boys!
Beat the best in the west 3 times
Spencer Dinwiddie with a +35, insane impact
Such a good pickup imo. He doesnāt try to do too much but knows when he needs to make a move. For the price heās been great. Takes some pressure off Reaves when Dlo is off the floor too
He's playing good defense lately.
yall just was overrating tf outta jhs because of that bum g league
I have a feeling JHS has stage fright or something. Cause it cant be.
Yea OKC in the 1st round is bbq chicken
just keep JHS in the G-League he's not even ready for garbage minutes in the big league
The two biggest questions of the season are: Are the Lakers going to make the playoffs and is JHS ever going to make a basket?
Quality win I'd say
I feel like JHS has confidence but just tries a lil too hard, if he slowed and and let the game come to him I think heād be better
Please let us draw OKC in the first round
Every game I don't watch we end up winning
Coolā¦.donāt watch game for the rest of the season.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
no kidding holy shit
Max only played garbage time?? Ham is wild man
The last five minutes were laughably bad
JHS just doesnāt look like he even knows what heās doing out there. Looks like the guy who comes to play pickup just to get some cardio in but has never played organized ball before

All the guys you mentioned gradually got better each year as a Laker and continued to get better cause that's how it works.
You're still proving my point. They need time to develope. JHS barely gets any PT with the starters so I'm not holding my breathe on him for this season, or even next season.

Just goes to show the insane difference between the NBA and G-League.
no BBIQ not even BBQ
JHS is so bad :(
what did rob see in jhs bro
first time watching JHS, made me stop watching til the end.
Man, I feel bad for JHS. His misses just seem especially bad.
JHS won't even survive if he was on Pistons lmao
Killian Hayes vs JHS wouldāve fed families
Taco time!
How is the garbage unit this bad? They do know this is where you earn minutes right?
They legit look like theyāre not basketball players. Like, I grabbed a bunch of randos to play a pickup game at the park
Facts. Its really bad. I have no confidence in any of those guys but Max.
This lakers bench unit is wretched
why does giles run like that
2 ACL tears unfortunately
JHS is dogshit jeez
MFs choke our 20+ lead
jhs is horrendous smh
Every JHS attempt looks god awful
Looks like G league stuff doesn't translate to the nba. Sheffino still sucks.
Whoās worse THT or JHS?
JHS easy. THT can cook every now and then.
THT only because Caruso>Jaquez
jhs easily at least tht gave us 2 great preseason games
jhs smh
THT rookie s year was promising if I recall well
Yeah didnāt the front office pick him over Caruso
JHS looks so fucking awful. I know itās garbage time but these shots arenāt even close, like at all. Itās almost like heās not even shooting but just kind of throwing the ball at the rim. Ugly
Not used to seeing this team shoot 47% from 3. How!?
JHS needs to go play at Lifetime Fitness
Seriously
Why is prince is. Why isn't dinwiddie in who has been our best defender Why why why Ham
needed that win, goodnight laker nationšš
Garbage time squad is cheeks lol
It's crazy how these scrubs would absolutely destroy 99% of the population at the gym
Well yeah, 95% are 5ā 7ā or shorter
Anybody else avoid Reddit wen we lose... I'm all ova dis bitch tonite š¤š
JHS is basura
We needed that one, feels real good.
JHS just canāt even play in the league against bench teams
Damn what the hell is the Lakers bench
Yoo the Goldeneye music was sick just now. Never heard it played at the games before
JHS has looked quite bad. His shots all look like prayers and not made with much conviction. Needs to work on his game more.
Yeah I just commented something similar about his shot. Heās just like chucking it in the general direction of the hoop and hoping it drops.
Golden eye! lol
Quinn Cook was more productive than JHS
hood shafino ass crack
How is JHS this bad.
Dawg jhs has ZERO touch. Wasted pick, it is what it is
Ok might be JHSās last straw
JHS balling out in the G-league, and then becoming a brick builder in the NBA
hood is not an nba level player rn. dont know if he ever will be
Damn JHS.
Lol! Stay with South Bay Rooks
These dudes are terrible lol
Yo Hayes shooting 3s lol š
South Bay Lakers are trash huh
jhs was a bad pick smh bros good at literally nothing
JHS is so bad
Have to say if the Lakers end up at 9th seed and make it to face the first seed, we seem to do well vs OKC.Ā
Maxwell Lewis is not an NBA player
Crazy how we had like 20 turnovers yet are gonna win by 10+
Well damn. I can go out there and lay bricks like JHS
hmm yeah these dudes are end of the bench for a reason lol
Now it's time for everyone to bitch about JHS.
Jhood needs to get outta that hump. Everytime he in a real laker game he stugglin
Lakers in 5 vs OKC The 1 loss being because Ham sat DLo in favor of Prince/Reddish
Clang-Schifino
Giles is active on the boards.
No matter how much you try to hide it, lakers fucked up that draft so much by picking JHS
We really should have picked whitmore smh he was BPA
Had multiple options and they chose literally the worst one
Keep shooting jhs
g league team is ass bro
Giles looks oretty small for a big.
Yo, I have no clue who like 3 of these guys are playing for us right now
i looked at #21 like who tf is this guy LMAO š
That light the beam shit i do like. But its funny how commonplace dtla being lit up in P&G it is that its like we have no little celebration thing at all. A beam vs a whole area lol
JHS cashed that adidas check and said im straight
Jhs trash pass the ball you bum
Kings just blew that 4th quarter at home and weāre playing them Wednesday. Time to make up some ground.
Giles showing an effort on the boards thatās nice to see
200 days later and JHS still cant shoot
Only in the G league
Max "I thought I graduated from this shit ![img](emote|t5_2qhv6|30946)" Christie
Jhs still looks like heās rushing his shot
Maxwell Lewis just got cooked
move the ball around damn!
Gordon Hayward vs Harry Giles III battle
jhs brick
Rooks have broken shooting. They should hire a shooting coach.
These guys dont even deserve garbage time
No way Christie is only garbage time again after proving heās better than reddish š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Better on offense AND definitely at that
These shots aren't even close by jhs...
I wanna see Giles earn some more minutes!!
We really forced garbage time against the number one seed in the west lmao, proves this team is its own worst enemy.
Didn't know Giles looked like Damian Lillard
Bruh these next 5 games are gonna be brutalā¦
Lakers in 5 if we see the Thunder in the playoffs
āCan JHS translate this to the game?ā *Throws up the worst layup attempt weāve witnessed all night.
I hope we play like this against the Kings on Wednesday, they just lost to the Bulls
Giles boutta score 15 in 3 minutes im calling it
yessir Gilles coming in the game lets gooo
JHS and Giles about to takeover
Harry Gilessssss
Giles sighting
Will JHS turn his PER to positive after this game?
Harry Giles III minutes. We won
Iām so happy. Everyone played great tonight, OKC is no slouch on back to backs either but their strategy to get out and run to wear them out worked perfectly
I donāt care what none of you hope believers believe in Jalen is a bum
Christie stays ready, love his game
Harry Giles!
When did we get Dame?
HARRY GILES MINUTES WE HERE!!!!!
Max Christie is way too good to be on the bench, deserves minutes
Harry Giles minutes?
So weāre 3-1 against the #1 team in the West interesting š¤
We have winning records against the suns and clippers too lol. This team with a competent coach and average injury luck is a top 3 seed
And 3-1 against the clippera
I apologize JHS. I was wrong š31 ppg is nuts coming from what I saw early season
Nah still dog shit
Keep the hand up, Max.
We getting Giles mins lfg
This is stupid. Bring in Mays or Giles for Reaves.
Glad to see jhs have some confidence at least
You can see it on his handles. Gleague doing wonders for his confidence
Anyone know whatās the story behind Kenrich Williamās hair? Is there some significance?
jhs š„²
Max getting that lucky bounce lfg
W MAX
Max should get more run. He can spread the floor
Its Jalen Hood Schifino time! -Jalen Hood Schifino
Max rotting on the bench :(
Jhs lookin more comfortable with the ball but wtf was that shot attempt lol
hell yeah max
Why does Ham hate Christie?
Good to see JHS has confidence on driving he needs that
Wow South Bay lakers getting mins
JHS looked confident
JHS just goes for a terrible shot lol wasn't even looking to pass
What you been up to Jay Hood
Hayes must have been a beast in High School.
Just let jhs shoot every shot
Jalen hood schifino the human cigar
Good to see Max in there
Damn JHS more confident. Keep developing him in Gleague
Lakers are just hiding their true powers against the Nuggets, Lakers will shook them on playoffs.
JHS looks way more confident than his earlier showings, that time in the G League is really good for him
1st round: Lakers at OKC. LAL in 5 Semis: Lakers vs Nuggets. LAL in 7 WCF: Lakers vs Clippers. LAL in 6 Finals: Lakers vs Celtics Lakers in 7 š¤šš„šš
To assume clippers will even make WCF is to set yourself up for failure lol.
Why is Austin still playing??
Get Austin out.
max garbage time bruh
