Listen im still waiting for post season AR to truly show he's #3 dude.

But regular season AR? Dude can switch from being #3 to #1. Dude is an absolute killer.

Is this like the 4th 50 point game so far this year?

Edit: Number 3. SGA, Aaron Gordon and now Austin Reaves.

Kings are a pathetic team. No defense, no rim protection. Jacking up 3's.

Enjoy another lottery.

I’m glad Kidd had the sense to give DLo extended PG minutes and take some pressure off Cooper. I understand what you want the kid to develop into, but a complete trail by fire as an 18-year-old on a potentially good team is a little rough for anyone.

Exactly. That's why he's my runaway favorite for MVP even if the numbers stay close to other players. He's going to have a lot of plays that just leave peoples' jaws on the floor.

DeRozan said the people downing the Kings were crazy. There's believing in one self and delusions of grandeur. This is the latter.

22 and 10 for Ayton and played solid defense. Just be consistent and the Lakers going to be good this season.

Just be consistent — about Ayton.

I get it. No King and no Don and your #3 went bananas and got you a win. Ayton looked active and engaged. It was a good day.

But you CANNOT hitch your wagon to Ayton. If you do, it’s just gonna hurt more later. The dude just doesn’t care.

Yup, Simons is a bucket but he doesn't do much else. Holiday makes the Blazers a lot better and they'll learn how to win with him.
