I was buying up Lonzo stock before the season began. His court vision is special. If he can just get his 3-point shot fixed, he's going to have a great career in the NBA.

Lakers have played well as of late, and neither team has their pick so there won't be any tanking tactics to help either team. Should be pretty competitive. Not a visually pleasing brand of basketball, but competitive on a level of mediocrity in that gray area between tanking teams and playoff caliber teams. That's where the Pistons and Lakers live.

Does KCP get arrested for violating his probation?
That'd be fun.

2 assists for Detroit, 13 for Lakers. Cleary shows difference.

Has he touched the ball once today on anything other than a catch-and-shoot 3?

Stan never learns. Still won't play the Bullock/Kennard 2/3 combo either. Like he's afraid of spacing.

Fun first half guys.

Love how Lonzo is playing and he is learning the mid-range game too as you can see. Love his passes and defense.
The Lakers are trying to break this game open but the Pistons just dont want to go away.

Hope 2nd half is another good half.

Not Yo Ham Lakers!

Bullock is so good. I like that he's looking for his shot a little more, he's got some moves. Wonder if he's looking to show out against KCP

Reggie has been worth every penny of his contract when he’s been healthy. Would love to see him play 70+ next year.

Definitely can see the difference since Reggie has been back. Offense still looks a bit ugly at times but this team moves with a creator guard.

Yeah our offense was already very dependent on him before the Griffin trade, but afterwards if we're gonna go with a big lineup of Blake and Dre... it definitely can work, but you need a PG who can create and space the floor.

Ish is way better coming off the bench where he can push the pace more anyways. Don't think Jackson's importance to our roster can be overstated.
