Really good win. The guys really showed up tonight and played good defense on the road against a good team. They executed their offense and made shots. I certainly did not expect a win tonight without AD, and we got a convincing one. |

I'm surprised every time I watch him how soft he is |
JJ is the first coach who just tried to pick on him all game lol. (bleep) that should be the easy blue print |

On the road no less... against a top 3-4 team in the league |

Disagree but he needs to be more controlled with his chaos |
He needs a jumper of some sort |
I fully believe that if Vando committed to being a small 5 who finished at the rim and rebounded, he would fill the teams biggest need, give AD the help he wants, and balance the team |

Reaves as the 6th man would be incredible. But Reaves doing what he's doing as an undrafted player being asked a mountain of a task is brilliant.
Shows his grit. Reaves is the toughest player on this team imo. His mentality is awesome.
Sure his defense lacks but overall how he carries himself no matter whats in front of him on the court or what he's tasked to do he does with the most confidence. |

KAT got DESTROYED by Reaves and LeBron, but especially Reaves in the 3rd. They could really use a Hartenstein type |

This team is rolling. Let's just keep Rui and Gabe. Trade JHS (+ Cam or Wood) for a lower salary big. Wish it could've been Nick Richards, but it wasn't meant to be.
I've accepted that we're most likely not getting Kessler. Get a decent backup big and have Hayes be the third stringer. Vuc, Capella, RW3, etc. are not worth losing Rui or Gabe. |

that stretch in the 3rd was the first time in a long time I've seen a Lakers' player so in control of an opposing defense by a player who's not LeBron (and even LeBron is less convincing because his ability to get separation has been iffy since '22 or so)
That was a stretch where I was like... this guy could has the juice to average 25 ppg. To be fair he was abusing KAT who's a very poor defender, but still |

I agree. But AD is not going to like it. |

A road win against a legit contender, without AD! _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

It is really refreshing seeing young guys and veterans like Dorian and Gabe playing extremely hard. The effort was 100% there tonight from every player.
We ran all game on makes and misses. Consistent movement on offense. quick hard screens. Shooting on the catch. Lots of motion and movement no complaining.
I don't even care if we win we need to play with that effort |

Knicks’ defense was god awful. It really helped that we were hitting our open threes, but damn if they didn’t keep giving us any shot we wanted. |
