Let's not forget who the first person to punk Harden last game was - Lance with that hustle play leading to Harden feeling embarrassed and getting a technical foul
Say what you want about Lance, but he's a spark plug out there. He creates, he hustles, and he gets the crowd going. He's the JR Smith of the Lakers lol.
I liked the signing, but had serious concerns watching him during preseason. He’s really reined it in and is filling his bench role nicely. Very happy with him so far.
Hell of a game from him. I feel like you can put up with the occasional bonehead plays from him if he’s gonna have the occasional game like this as well. Overall he’s been pretty solid for the bench too, unlike Beasley who has been so bad he’s already been benched.
A streaky all-around player, not just a streaky shooter. Very unique. I loved this signing in the summer but that was with understanding that he'll be a bonehead for a percentage of the time. If that's minimized like tonight, he's effectively a guard-sized lower-capacity LeBron. Lance'll make em dance!
Lance would be a HOFer if he'd come into the league with Josh Hart's head on his shoulders. But yeah he's at times like a mini version of LBJ. He's so quick and athletic I wish he'd use a little less mustard on his dog out there. Explode and go to the hole rather than have to do the dribble dance as often. He can just flat out beat guys. But then again it is a bit of a luxury to have another guy on the team that has those kinds of skills one on one. He's been great for the money. KCP and Beasley not so much. Still hope for KCP though. The bench might let him bloom again with less pressure and still good ball handlers around him.
He's still dancing, he's still holding the ball too long, I don't even want to know what his usage percentage was last night... but dammit this guy is fun to watch. In successes and failures, he's captivating.
Exactly where I’m at with him. I’m just going to ignore the analytics on him for now and just watch the show.
I still don't like him, but props for a great game last night. I am warming up to him if he keeps this up, however.
He was only holding and dancing a ton with the ball in the 4th quarter when the game was out of reach. He did just fine not doing this too much.
He's played surprisingly well since that first game dud. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how explosive and athletic he's been. I didn't know he even had that...
