Welcome back DLO....It's nice to see a Laker being genuinely proud to be a Laker.

A big game- Got to finish it off

Bamba is good defensively.

This is the first game of the new version of this team with Lebron playing. It's at home, against a team that's not healthy, and they still need to finish the job, but I like what I'm seeing so far. Not just in terms of performance, but overall energy and chemistry wise

It seems that everybody is playing well. Reaves is amazing as usual.

I don't want to get ahead of myself, and obviously it'll all come down to health regarding what comes from this season, but DLO is looking like exactly what RW should have been when we traded for him....a capable secondary playmaker and a capable secondary perimeter scorer.

Rare win. Hmm. Nice.

Pretty awesome complete win... It started with our Defense and then our Offense started flowing... D Lo, LeBron, AD, and Vanderbilt were terrific... Bamba is a beast... Rui wasn't quite in sync but was still pretty good...

Would love to see this in a series of games...

DLo played like the player I hoped and thought he’d become when he was first here. So happy to see.

I didn’t watch the game because of work but will catch the replay when I get home soon.
Nice and much needed win.

Reading the box score , looks like Bamba isn’t shy to take the three. And he kept trying lol

And we missed 14 free throws?!

If D Lo plays defense like yesterday, start him. Vanderbilt is perfect with the super duo.

Bron and our front office wasted so much time by acquiring Westbrook. So much time. We are up against a serious time crunch. We seemingly have the right mix. But well see how far it will take us

This is a good roster. If Ham or better yet AD can get in Bamba’s ear about defense and effort…

I predict a serious run, starting yesterday. It’s finally coming together on the court. Defense still needs fixing.Be scared, rest of league.

AD went and dabbed up Pelinka during the game last night... Not sure what that was about, but it was nice to see... If it was about the roster, I assume it was about Vanderbilt and Bamba, which looked like great complimentary pieces to AD when they were on the floor together.
The problem with a roster built around AD, LeBron, and D'Lo is going to be consistency... There's enough there for a long run but if those 3 can't get into a rhythm, we may not get past the play-in...

I think he is 0/5 from three but I also think he played good D.
