Also I completely forgot Gabe Vincent is on the Lakers now lol poor fella

A former Heat player to the Lakers is a curse. Gabe should've learned what happened to K Nunn.

Yeah it’s not looking good. Gabe will be in Greece after his contract is up there.

He should've 5 COY awards already. That award is a fraud.

List of coaches that won over Spo

Dwayne Casey
Mike Budenholzer
Monty Williams
Mike D'Antoni
Mike Brown

Spo better start Jovic again

I hope so. Its helping with his confidence. There's a huge difference in how he's playing now then start of the season when he was getting yanked to the bench for any mistake. The kid needs consistent minutes regardless if he screws up to get better. He's exactly what we need in that 4 position.

Spo really just let him play the 4 with both Bam and K Love. He even held his own defensively. Should be glued into that spot from here on out sink or swim.

Jaquez with 8 assists tonight. He really did elevate our play.

Only right this OP delivered a Niko breakout

Before tonight he was 3rd in the NBA for total minutes in the 4th quarter, only S.Barnes and J.Hart were and may still be ahead of him. Another tidbit, Max Strus is 9th.

Wouldn't mind Max back in the DMitch trade

Missed the game but saw the highlights. I think I saw some point-Jovic. We going to see that going forward?

Nice win last night. Jovic finally stayed on the floor and was import. Jaquez was excellent. Keep it up in Phoenix.

The narrative Jovic is to "raw" is just ridiculous every single game weather it be rookie or this season where he gets extended playing time he has delivered, he just needs time and for the coach not to pull him after one stint. He was bodying LeBum and Davis on D as well Davis literally had to resort to screaming and flopping to get a weak ass foul call.

Portland just taking L after L could have called JJJ (the good one), Jovic and Herro lol.

Keep the faith with Niko.

he (Jovic) has made notable improvements on defense, specifically with rotations and being where he needs to be. Its a big reason Spo wouldn’t play him before.

Kevin Love with 14 rebounds last night. He has been such an excellent pick up.

DRob had 11 points in the 4th. I can get with it. Blossoming 4th quarter maestro?

Our vets are great. Love has been doing it his whole career, but that rebound and quick pivot to survey the option to pass and catch the defense lacking is pure joy. I just want to watch good basketball and Love brings it.

After starting 1 for 6 for the field, Tyler finished 6 for 13.

He still has plays where he attacks the rim at an extreme disadvantage, but he keeps us flowing.
