He's been good at help defense and switching, but his lack of strength is noticeable at times. He's having a solid game so far, but Zion when he drives on him, he's got no chance.

JJ and the staff is doing a great job with their game plan, which has helped him.

As far as this game goes: ENOUGH f**kING 3s, get in the f**king paint lol

He's definitely playing well right now. I agree JJ and the staff are doing a excellant job with their game plans. I'm excited to see how they game plan when they know who their opponents are in a 7 game series. VERY TRUE of the last comment lol....

up 23 with 4 mins left, looks like another LAKERS W! LBJ and Luka both with 30 pts

Luka was also injured in the finals but yes - those injuries are bc of poor conditioning and it has long been exposed - it wasn't anything new, to be fair.

This showed up in the Sat game @ Boston. He looked spent. Celtics didnt fall for his pauses and fakes after he picked up his dribble numerous times and heck he couldnt even get past 38 year old Al Horford 1 on 1.

I wonder why he doesnt take strength and conditioning as seriously as he should. It would take his game to another level which would be scary af.

Also, why isnt he more aware of whats happening in the paint. Im referring to him running blindly into Al Horford's foot while Al was swinging around on the rim and playing defense against Jaylen Brown's elbow with his face :).

Lakers in 5 if they meet the Celtics in the Finals.

Len might be the worst big I've ever seen
