I don't care if Rui is putting down a red carpet for people into the lane. Scam should never be closing games.
At least Cam can stay in front of people.. Rui was literally in cement on the court, everyone was flying by him

After the season is over if Lebron resigns they need to fire Ham and find a way to trade for an athletic backcourt.


Reaves and Dlo both are too terrible on defense to win it all.

Trade both.

Trade both.
It works if you have an athletic backcourt mate to pair one of them together.. DLO and Dinwiddie have the best advanced stats of any backcourt this season. And that's with Spence shooting like chit (granted small sample size)

Dinwiddie has been with the team for only a short amount of time...I wouldn't put too much stock into his numbers just yet.

Dinwiddie is good defensively?

Lakers should go 4-2 worst case during this road trip.
Gonna need to finish 8-3 to finish out rest of this year. If they do that, there's a chance they could catch the Suns since they have the tiebreaker over them and they have the hardest schedule remaining in the NBA

Probably too much to catch the Kings, even tho they have the 3rd hardest schedule remaining, but they have the tiebreaker over the Lakers

The fact that Lakers gotta face Warriors, Mavs, Kings, or Suns in the play in is crazy. I don't feel confident in them winning against any of them unless Vando gets back in time. Too much offensive power for the Lakers.

Man Dinwiddie showed out tonight, great to see him step up when we needed it.

Shaky game at times but Lakeshow held the line. Most points of the season, most points against Pacers ever and 4 Lakers with 25+ points :salute:

I get the feeling the franchise as a whole is okay with the he playin, unfortunately. They should at least go 4-2 this road trip. And beat the Warriors, Pelicans with no Ingram, and Cavs with no Mitchell.

But everything is labored with the this team. The injuries. The weird stuff with Hachimura not giving effort on defense. Reaves being too worn out to be up to his standards on defense. Dlo never being consistent and a sieve on defense.
