Damn. Blake looks like he's lost at least 6-8 inches on his vertical jump. He barely got that dunk over the rim. I miss Blake's old dunks :(

They need to teach Lonzo to stop trying to make shots sometimes and just try to draw fouls. Probably the most important NBA skill he's missing right now.

Blake can't even get a board over 41 year old Vince Carter. Jesus.

Blake legit looks like a 36 year old today. Passive, slow, unathletic and weak. He's literally getting pushed around the paint by 41 year old Vince Carter and others.

He's just not used to playing without DJ.

Considering the team has a good chance to lose DJ, he better figure it out quickly. When DJ is out you need to attack the glass hard and not tell all your teammates to grab a board. He should NOT be deferring to G league players on offense. He needs to attack more and stop trying to be a PG.

He's been playing better lately, actually. Just not against the Clippers it looks like.

Confidence can do a lot for a young team though, doesn't matter who you beat

Lonzo makes winning plays that's for sure, Lakers looked like they were back to tanking without him

Didn't matter who they were up against. They were once the worst team in the West. So beating anyone is proving they're better than being the worst. 4 in a row? That's something else.

What the hell is Blake's deal? He's not giving refs a chance to make a call before screaming at them. Maybe the concussion did more damage than I realized.
