Good to see another Laker win. Tuned in part ways through, it was looking awful, what a surprise that the Lakers once again stormed back in Q3 and won.

Heal up Bradley! Heal up AC!!

Cpt. Obvious: Ja Morant will be an all-star one day. (Hopefully in P&G)

To me Kuzma looks too cool for school kind of like Robert Horry did. Except Horry was a defensive mastermind who was always at the right place at the right time in terms of team defense and would only get beat by bigger players in the post down in the block. If Kuzma has Horry's ice cold clutch gene (which to me I have a strong suspicion he has it) he is good in my book. He can shoot it and score better than Horry ever could. Essentially a bigger slightly less efficient version of what Cedric Ceballos was for the Suns in the early 90s. Even Kuz could play better defense than Ceballos did though.


Kuzma isn't much of a thinker out there. It probably helps him shoot comfortably in the clutch but it hurts him on the other end.

Always tough playing DeMidrange and LaFadeaway. Then after that BI an Zo will be up for us. Feels like 1 of these 2 will be a lost.

He's not that athletic, but he is a bit more balanced - I'd compare him to D'lo at this point in his rookie season.

B/c he's not that good. Easily replaceable. Lakers should try and move him

I like Kuz but it's time to trade him for a defensive wing.


Need him as the 3rd scoring option but the dude has to learn to play defense consistently.

If he doesn’t have it offensively sometimes that’s fine, but defense has to be there.


It's not going to happen. He is who he is. BI is the one we should have kept.

I love how this team finds a way to win, rather than previous squads doing the opposite.

AB and AC were sorely missed in a game like this. Their perimeter defense is a very big part our overall defensive scheme.
We need them healthy ASAP!

That’s been our most effective closing backcourt. Suffocating perimeter defense.

Missed the last half of the game. I tuned into the booooring Wilder vs Ortiz. I don't know what it is about this team. When they play trap games they are always close. One day that switch is going to short circuit.

We're missing our best 2 pg's (on D) and they P&R'd us to death. They identified a weakness and used it to keep the game close.
