Dude he timed it perfectly because Russ was out of position. Had he not gone for a steal and just went for a double the spin wouldn't be there.



How is this good defense by Russ? He tried to go for a steal putting him in a bad angle to double. Who the **** goes for a steal there in the first place?


Russ was out of position but you have to think of the context of the play, no one was completely back yet. Russ was watching and took to long to trap but then he runs to trap just as Reggie spins. Russ launches for a steal after he's already too late.

This was a bang-bang play and you have to credit Reggie for spinning when he did honestly. It wasn't great defense but it was bad either.

Russ slept ,Monk was sleeping too


How did Vogel, defensive mined coach, finish game with Monk, Westbrick and Reaves. LAL had timeout and 2pts lead with 28s left on the clock.

You get LeBron healthy and added to the mix and they are without question contenders if they can play like this when hes out there.


If Blazers and Clippers without Kawhi & George tough teams then what is playoff going to look like if they even make it.

Russ is carrying this team to lottery pick they don't even have ..

I'm far from a Lakers fan but Reggie Jackson hopping like a bunny rabbit to halfcourt has to be a travel no?

How so? He's dribbling, so you can take as many steps as you want. It would be the same as a player pushing the ball out in front of himself and taking 5 steps before taking another dribble I'd say.

No time outs made the end of this game so much better to watch.

No. He’s bouncing the ball still.

Jimmer. It was Jimmer Fredette.
Kings have a had an insane amount of top 10 picks with virtually nothing to show for it.

Great game by him, but that stat is kind of weird. You first cut off 2/3rd of any game ever player by saying 50 game min, then you have a really high cutoff of 80% win percentage. So we are talking about less than <1% fit that criteria (am i looking at this right?). I have no doubt it is harder to score 40+ against a really good team but I wonder if statistically how much harder since the number of games is so low.

Because Reggie thought he was MJ

Our bench, which had been our saving grace during our recent long road trip, was awful last night. But we'll take the win. Definitely needed it. Reggie was great down the stretch
