I see the potential with Reddish. He's been defending very well. Been playing hard.

Yeah he's had an awful start shooting this season, yet he remains in the lineup for his activity on defense. And the lineup data shows that he's been part of some great lineups.

Not sold on him but not completely off him either. Needs more time IMO.

Ham is probably in trouble if he doesn't start getting better results with this roster. Playing AD when he's injured isn't going to win him any points either.

I hate this incompetent franchise so much why did LeBron have to go there. Not only is their FO the stupidest ever, they have a bunch of whiny spoiled ungrateful fans. Should have just stayed in Cleveland I hate the Lakers it's horrible seeing him in that uniform. They always get legends too it's so annoying.

Pockets would start Reddish over LeBron if he could get away with it.

I knew Miami was screwed the moment DLo got ejected. Game changed right there.

But you can never underestimate this Laker team's ability to lose close games. Nothing has changed on that front for years because they can't shoot and LeBron's old and can't really force his way to the rim. Reaves is honestly their best option at the end of games. Much more creative with his ability to generate offense. He should've been the one making decisions at the end.

AD's a perpetual disappointment on the floor but this is still a lottery team without him. Hopefully the injury ain't too serious.

DLo is and always will be a bum. As long as he's starting/playing significant mins Lakers are basically telling the world they aren't serious about winning.

Finally, I hope the refs won big $$$$ tonight. They clearly officiated like they had money riding on Miami.

Year 21 and carrying the team. No AD, no DLo, no Rui, no Vincent, no anybody. SMH

Basically all the stints the Lakers have had the winning margins in have had them playing LeBron ball. most of the sets that Darvin ham has put in place have not worked.

Cam Reddish is a replacement level player who has probably had about 80% of his stints on court be negative ones. Even with injuries to give him this much playing time is just egregious.

ONCE AGAIN OUR INABILITY TO MAKE 3S COSTS US ANOTHER GAME

Lebron had a wide open 3, Reaves had 2 wide open 3s, and Reddish had a wide open 3 to win it

Looks like we will be moving multiple guys at some point this year

So Ham drew that up. huh? LOL. Maybe, Lebron is giving him enough rope to hang himself by. Other than that, another incredible game by James. As for the team, I can't wait to see them at full strength. Hopefully soon.
