Not sure what’s worse, risking injury by letting Luka play in the off season, or letting him take a few months off and come back out of shape

I was just replying to this comment but I am giving my quick hit hot takes on the 4 teams that played.

Suns: Disjointed and out of Sync but I sorta expected that and I think they will get better as the season goes on. Overall I think it was promising and I think they are/will end up the 2nd best West team.

GSW: Small and Slow. No Draymond so maybe that will help but I think this team has problems. Klay looked pretty good but I also know he frequently doesn't so that might be a problem. Wiggins seems really important for some transition opportunities and defense but you can't really build a team that relies on Wiggins every night.

Denver: Look great. They own the West if they stay healthy.

Lakers: Looked pretty good, Denver is just a great team. They'll need to stay healthy because missing a lot of time from AD or Lebron will quickly make this a sub-500 team. Christian Wood looks like a great pickup.

I get it's the same setup, but the amount of permutations off that initial look are insane. What should the Lakers have done to stop almost every single player from scoring off that look even if they knew it started with Jokic at the elbow?

I don't think the point of the video is that the Lakers were dumb for not stopping it

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
And all plays in the NBA are like that. Some out-of-timeout plays will be "Pass to person X who will pass to Y who will shoot" but most NBA plays are react-type things where there are tons of permutations and adlibbing based on what the defense does. And the Lakers did a decent job. The first Murray 3 was partially covered, so thats ok. The long 2 by KCP was open but only because he was run off the 3pt line and had no driving lane. That's a low value shot. And DLO's foul was a pretty good foul, he got beat but recovered and used his long arms to stop a shot.

What was noteable was that a relatively simple play like that can be turned into so many deadly weapons by this team and by how versatile Jokic was. No other NBA player has been able to be a threat like that so many ways out of a really simple action.
