I believe they called fouls on that before he got a rebound |

The Lakers need this a lot more often from AR and Rui if they're going to at least get back to where they were last season.
Maybe sitting D'Lo on night 1 is an example of the Lakers doing what I wanted all along, which was to strategically go for 1-1 on B2Bs instead of going for 2-0. It's been absolutely brutal to watch the Lakers go all out on night 1, lose anyway, and go into night 2 severely handicapped to the point where it's an automatic L. |
The League should get rid of B2Bs and cut down the number of games. This isn't 50 years ago. The players go a lot harder than they used |

The Barkley comparisons are really good on terms of his relentlessness for rebounds and aggressiveness getting high percentage shots.
Sir Charles had much better footwork. Also Zion not even close to the mid range Chuck had.
Zion’s athleticism, probably five levels higher than Chuck but in all fairness he was no scrub in this department fwiw |
Yeah when I first heard the Barkley comparison I laughed out loud.
I can kind of see it a bit more now but he's still no Barkley IMO |
I feel this offseason Zion needs to focus on better body mechanics especially with his style of play.
Looks like his knees be rubbing each other when he runs as well. It’s a weird motion. Probably explains his little hop and skip |

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the "WELCOME TO LA" party in the background. Did you say it was a sure thing? I think I heard you say it was a sure thing!  |

now if they ever figure out their defensive coverages, they'll be back in the WCF losing to Denver in no time |

He was sitting by Mark Cuban a couple of days ago
Mavs & Lakers are rumored to be his potential landing spots, if he's bought out

That's ridiculous. Ham needs to figure that out.
Bron should not be starting the 4th if the lakers have more than a 5pts lead... Preferrably sub him in at the 9 or 8 minute mark.
Or he needs to sub him out as soon as AD checks back in the 4th... Problem is when the game is close. Ham just keeps him in there. |

Luckily they get a 4 days break before they play another back to back games. |

| I’m confident Spencer Dinwiddie is gonna choose Dallas and that’s okay, we have Cam Reddish coming back soon, hopefully we get Vincent back in the next few weeks, maybe pick up some guards like Killian Hayes and Gallo |

Killian Hayes is a project. He isn't contributing this year or next year in any way |

I think they called fouls on both of those, so no rebound would be recorded, I guess. |
He loses a ton of rebounds because of this. In general I’ve always felt the refs don’t like to make a foul call on rebounds unless the guy who got fouled lost the ball because of it. Similar to how they often wait for a shot to miss before they call a foul. But for AD they call tons of touch fouls in his favor on balls he already rebounded cleanly. It probably indirectly helps him get more rebounds since his opponents are always in deep foul trouble and have to avoid playing physical but he definitely loses out on a bunch of them on the spot. |

Source: Spencer Dinwiddie to join Lakers after clearing waivers
LINK
| Quote: | LOS ANGELES -- Free agent guard Spencer Dinwiddie will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers when he clears waivers, a source familiar with his plans confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.
Dinwiddie, 30, was traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Raptors for Dennis Schroder and Thaddeus Young on Thursday and subsequently waived by Toronto. Dinwiddie will clear waivers at 5 p.m. ET. |
