Oturu is legit.

Oturu might can become something

stand by your man, playa :wink:

Reggie did fine--plus+13 in 13 minutes
his job is to take Lou or Bev's minutes when they're dinged up, and it's working
veteran's minimum, what's not to like--better than Mann, for instance lol

man i doubt oturu will ever be a defensive stopper, but he legit looks like he belongs. with proper development this guy could be an impact player.

paul george was fantastic. as was morris and kennard. kennard taking 8 threes? that's a great sign he's becoming more comfortable shooting the ball.

a team that's been maligned for its defense outlasts an insanely hot mcdermott and ends the game with a drtg of 93.6

splendid

Definitely has the touch and feel. I liked how Kabengele played defensively and how they played together. Coffey looked good

I’m ready to see Jay Scrubb

Lot of talk on Twitter about how we looked good without Lou Will these last two games

Reggie loses focus easily. When he's on, he wreaks havoc on the opponent's bench unit. But sometimes he just wants to do his own thing, and takes bad shots and makes silly turnovers. Having said that, he played pretty well after those initial bad possessions.

Kennard already making Shamet an afterthought. After hearing his post game interview, it seems he's finally starting to get comfortable. He will be huge if he can be a consistent outside threat.

Wow,another blowout. :nod:

Morris has +35.

He played good in Sac. He got picked by McConnell. Looks like Lue is letting him play through a mistake or two. The key for him is having a semi-consistent jumper in his arsenal if he wants a 2nd contract in the league

He has to improve at everything from defense to shooing and passing. Not sure how much waiting can be done at his age going forward but we will see

Low key I'm still thinking- got a feeling that Jay Scrubb might move ahead of him by season's end. Hopefully he's playing by the end of February. Would like to see him get a few minutes at the end of some of these blowout games. We'll see

Shamet seems to still be struggling with consistency

You were complaining that the coaching staff and front office has remnants of Doc Rivers after the loss.

Does this sound any where close to doc?

The problem wasn't Lou and Trezz, it was our depending on them for 36 points every night. And also playing them together, lol--they're both indifferent defenders and that doubles your trouble.

But each guy won us games. Ideally, they're your x-factor, your Plan B to steal a game you probably deserve to lose. I think the Lakers are quite pleased to have Trezz, and I'm sure Lou will win steal us some Ws too. But you'd rather they be your 4th or 5th highest scorers, not your 3rd.

As our 3rd-highest paid player you'd certainly like to see Senior move up to #3 and Kennard move up too.

56 points in the paint!!

So funny how a couple of pieces can ruin the entire vibe (Doc and Trez)

the differences are palpable just watching the on screen results. the fact that the players themselves are outright saying things speaks volumes.

or maybe it's PG getting his sh*it together after becoming a national laughingstock

either way, I don't care but we won't know until the playoffs
