Should the Lakers give Reaves THT’s minutes? He looks really solid.

This team is allergic to hitting timely threes.

Hornets playing one of the weirdest junk defenses I've seen.

Working though. Got the Lakers thinking on offense.

I watched the game and there was nothing "amazing" about Trae's defense lol. You can say more passable than his usual near bottom of the league defense, but saying he played amazing defense is crazy hyperbole.

Hornets really miss Hayward, they suck without him. Hes the vet that ties all the youngins together. Hornets just too young and inexperienced without him. Remember, LaMelo is 20 and Bridges 23

We're missing three rotation players, Hayward - Oubre - McDaniels

I hate bitching about the officiating but that's a f'ing horrible call, made by the guy with the worst angle on the floor.

I'm convinced neither AD or Lebron is injured, but Lakers are just resting them since they know there's no way possible they don't get into the play-in games at worst, they're not dropping below the Blazers

That’s not a charge on Bridges? His arm extended and he lowered his shoulder.

Honestly still have no clue what a block/charge is. Seems like a coin flip.

He got steals, he was disrupting shots, he drew several offensive fouls and charges, he was rebounding against taller opponents. His guy wasn't scoring at all in the game. Yes, that's amazing defense. Last game I believe he had four steals and was again active on defense. His defense has been really good lately and he deserves credit for it.

But hey, typical Trae hater I'm quoting.

Not only did Bridges lead with the shoulder, but he extended the arm to push THT away. I don’t understand officiating anymore.

JN61 · Post #134 » by **JN61** » Sat Jan 29, 2022 3:12 am

THT is clearly moving and late to the position where he can get charge legally.

CHA playing about as well as they can (even got a scrub going 7-7 and an offensive foul = and-1, even hornets commentators saying wtf) so good effort by Lakers either way.

Sucks we missing about 70ppg from our 3 guys out

Is this Ish Smith’s best game of his career?

Westbrook needs open driving lanes.

Playing him with two centers has been beyond stupid all season.

No, this is definitely not as well as we can play
