On the plus side, it's an offensive foul. On the down side, Hayes still has 2 fouls before he's out of the game. Get this trashbag out the game.

Win or lose, this game will be good for Cody Williams's confidence.

This is arguably the best all around game Knecht has played in a Laker uniform. Not looking like a defensive liability for a change.

Not a good start to the season for Ayton detractors. Guy is basically averaging 15/10 for the Lakers, while shooting over 60% from the field.

Cedric Coward is averaging 17 ppg.

His OnCourt is +23.

His OnOff is +52.3.

Too many free throws. League needs to come out and instruct the refs to let some stuff go.

He looks the part. Athletic gait, long arms, big hands, beautiful beautiful shot, and some of the best instincts I’ve seen come through Memphis

Ayton looking like Kwame Brown last couple possessions. You put any sort of heat on the pass dude isn’t catching it.

Made up for it on the defensive end though…

100%. And not just instincts.

Was watching a game the other day where JJJ committed a foul on penetration, and the referee hadn't even finished blowing his whistle before Coward was raising his hand to say it was his foul. That guy has a big brain! :lol:

The way he does a lot of things so effortlessly is incredible to watch. Like, all of the things that you can teach, his body is just like, "Yes sir, no problem, sir." I'm kind of in love with him as a player.

For example, setting up his jumper before catching the ball. And basically everything else, but that comes to mind first.

Great game. Nice win by the Blazers. Fun to watch.

He flops well already, too. First time I've seen a tech called for it in what seems like ages.

Jokic was 80% from two before tonight. That 9-13 will drag him down a bunch!
