Reaves can really play. He really has a lot of poise for a rookie.

AD has been great this fourth quarter, love his aggression.

At least the Lakers are starting to get what they expected from Russ. His weaknesses were known coming into the season, but he wasn't even playing to his strengths. Starting to get to that more as he gets comfortable.

He's gotten to the rim at will, very encouraging.

He's been very aggressive this fourth quarter, in the good way. Still a space cadet on defense off the ball, but that's expected lol

Vogel is a top 5 defensive coach of alltime if he gets this team to a top 10 defense

Theyve made **** Dejounte Murray and Jakob Poeltl pick and roll look like Nash Amare

AD is the most fragile "star" of all time

Becoming really sad to see

He isn't 37 years old

Refs are TRASH btw

Would prefer closing with Dwight instead of Melo. Lakers can't grab a rebound to save their life right now

I really like Monk. He's got enough off dribble juice to do stuff against bench lineups and he's not scared to shoot. Good role player

You can't stop the Vassell-Poeltl PNR, you can only hope to contain it. :noway:
