"The defensive effort that [Luka Dončić] has put forth has to be called out." 😳 Kendrick Perkins calls the Lakers' defense "gross" after their third straight loss 👀

@KendrickPerkins No Perk, the defensive effort of THE ENTIRE ROTATION OF THE LAKERS needs to be called out for their defense. Stop using your platform to bash one singular player, instead of the team. It’s a team effort.

@KendrickPerkins But wont call out lebrons defense though. LOL

@KendrickPerkins LeBron was standing around at times but yes, blame it on Luka.

@KendrickPerkins It’s Lebron killing the defense not Luka. Not a huge plus/minus guy but if Luka was the issue he wouldn’t have a better one than Lebron. Man to man Lebron has been great, off the ball is a completely different story.

@KendrickPerkins Luka Doncic doesn’t play defense this is nothing new

@KendrickPerkins The LeBron stans are out in force. LeBron’s two games since injury, have been well below his best, but hey, blame Luka. Here’s a note, if Luka is in your team, everyone else has to be better defensively, unfortunately the Lakers have 3 negative defenders in their starting 5.

@KendrickPerkins LUKA about to get crucified for playing with Lebron 😂😂. Just like AD, Bosh, Love, Kyrie

@LegionHoops @KendrickPerkins It isn’t just Luka, it’s the entire rotation The effort that we saw on our last run hasn’t been there the past few games, that’s what needs to change

@KendrickPerkins The Lakers aren't good. Talk about teams that are actually good

@KendrickPerkins That’s some serious shade at the Lakers' defense, especially after three straight losses. Luka’s defensive game has been solid, but the Lakers definitely need to tighten up if they want to turn things around.
