Please forgive me. I’m a NBA giganoob who started watching bc of Secret Base videos. I watch the Lakers bc Austin Reaves is my favorite player. I was extremely impressed with him in the playoffs last year and LeBron and AD are really fun to watch. Also a fan of DLo and Hachimura.

I don’t understand why Lakers fans are surprised with the result against the Sixers? They’re better than the Lakers rn. The better team should win most of the time. Getting stomped by Joel Embiid while half of your best rotation players are injured should come as no surprise.

What gives? Losing to the Embiid Sixers isn’t a problem until the playoffs. Who expected different?

Gotta call a timeout to stop that momentum for sure.

More alarming to me and more than just a Ham thing, the bench came on down 20 and they finished losing by 40.

I know they don’t have great depth but jeez that’s terrible.

For extra context, the end of the Lakers bench today was a bunch of G-League and two-way players. The Lakers are missing four of their main rotation players, including two probable starters. If you remove a third of any team's rotation, they're going to have horrible depth.
