5 steals and 1 block from Lonzo.... oooohweeeeee!

It was a nice win... Outside of the turnovers, it was a pretty game to watch... Albeit against one of the worst defensive teams in the league... But still. It's something to learn from.

The defense seems to be kicking back in. If they defend honestly they can play with anybody.

When they fell behind it was because they went ISO too much and the ball was not moving.

The Lakers should know by now what the MO is...play D and move the ball and they can stay with anybody most games

My brain tells me they're still going to try to trade Randle, but watching this unit play and watching Luke getting after Randle, I started to get a feeling maybe they have decided to move Nance with Clarkson at least for now... Bringing in Jamil Wilson on a 10 day would seem to indicate a big is gone, unless that big was Bogut...
Clarkson seemed pissed tonight, Nance seemed a little subdued... Randle seems more comfortable than he has all season. And this Starting lineup and Lukes Rotations just seem right, now...

But who knows... Like I said, nobody but Ball is truly safe.

Without Zo they were pretty much playing 4 on 5 every time. Ennis is awful.

One day Zo and DeArron gonna really go at scoring wise. Zo had 5 and Fox 15 on 16 shots. Neither was special but Zo got the win

Nah, I just don't think that is his game--especially when Bron and George arrive...

-22 in 9 minutes for Tyler Ennis.

7 turnovers in 24 minutes for Ingram.

Those might be records.

The Lakers twitter announced tacos. Maybe they changed it to win and hold under 100. I thought we had to score over 100, too.

Kuz is kinda wack in his postgame interviews... kind of me-me guy.

let’s make up for the losses with a couple more wins, then i’d be really happy.

I'll try to post his interview if I find it online...if they post it. Kind of a weird one.

I'm guessing Kuzma too. Unless you meant in the starting lineup. Still kinda surprised he lost his job despite how much he's proven himself

Nice defense. Nice team basketball. This is how we should play every game. Let's beat the old men of San Antonio next.

these next games are also winnable. but please, no more can-you-feel-it threads.

We're winning the games that we're supposed to. This is a good start.

Great litmus test tomorrow in SA.

Defense, defense, defense. Running the fastbreak with Zo needs no coaching nor system.

Our half court sets are starting to look better, too. The ball is moving, players are starting to move more fluidly without the ball and finding their spots. There were many possessions yesterday where Lonzo had more than one open player to feed.

It's looking to me like we'll go on a winning streak. And, I'm gonna call it — we'll make the playoffs.

Lonzo's defense is severely underrated. He's an elite PG defender already. I can't tell you how "psyched out of my mind" I am about that. (Elf reference)
