jesus man this play by play guy, i know you have to glaze the home team but......ayton can be one of the best centers in the game?

Reaves balling out there

Vando running around like mad man on defense gets steal, now we just need him to hit those 3's

I'm satisfied with Reaves performance, he's gonna be a monster. Now get him off the court so the lessers can get some reps in and build their confidence.

Ayton has been pretty great on defense so far. Considering he's the replacement for absolutely nothing, its a big boon for LA.

And his first shot reminds us never to take those Ben Simmons shooting videos seriously.

Reaves playing defense, those saying he doesn't for shame LOL

BTW even in preseason, Reaves 7-7 from the line

Lakers definitely playing like they're missing their best 2 ball handlers

Luckily it's just preseason

Hayes is a keeper for Lakers longterm

unless we can get Kessler :nod:

Lakers need more shooting. Guys like Hachimura, Vanderbilt and Laravia aren't going to cut it. Their bench isn't great either. Luka's going to need to be amazeballs.

See you in the playoffs, oh wait.

Preseason or not, it's always a good day to watch the Lakers lose.

Yeah, you'll probably be there for a round or so.

Ayton looked terrible, and I'm.not sure what the purpose of preseason game if you sit your best players entirely, 10-16 possesions of Luka/Ayron P&R would have been more helpful than rest.
