This team is actually half decent with Russ coming off the bench, who would have thought? Best half of basketball he has played in a Laker uniform.

The only time the Lakers go on runs is when Lonnie Walker turns into a sniper.

It's concerning

Bron is literally trying to throw this game away by chucking 3's from 35 feet.

Our "down the stretch" offense is in the hands of Bron and only Bron. As he ages it's apparent that he can't just take everyone to the hole anymore. He refuses to allow any changes to the Bronfense.

Who needs Kyrie?
We got Russ!

Walker was a beast tonight. He’s been a very good pick up for us based on his performance so far.

What beautiful play by AD to set that screen for Ryan. Reaves read the play beautifully and Ryan drained it. I jumped right out my seat.

We've got ourselves a good coach. He does things his way.

Missed the game (work timezones suck)....

But screw you all for doubting Russ - Ok he coming off the bench, but It's working

I always thought a streak was at least 3 games?

I looked it up and it's measured by at least 5 wins......

Nice win.

Edit: Westbrook is looking like his old self against second units. Except yesterday he was even passing as his number one option. Well done Westbrook and coach Ham.

Next, if we can get Russ and everyone else to play some more hard nosed defense, too, maybe we won’t have to rely on miracles from Reaves and Matt Ryan to take us to OT.

One big picture fix I see now on defense is that each defensive possession should be paced slower for this squad to win more. I’d like to see us deliberately slow the other teams’ offense down lots in order to keep LBJ and AD alive and well for the full season, but also to throw off the pace for all the young gunners of the league. High press by our youngs, just to slow things down to an uncomfortable pace for the (younger) opponents.

big win, LBJ again lock down defense on Zion at the end of game

2 minutes left, Zion blows by his defender, LBJ gets in position to take the charge and young blood didn't think LBJ would put his body in line to get posterized , he then proceeds to miss bunny

thats what leaders do
