Lakers have shooters. Daniels and Green. Rondo is starting to look good from there too. Rondo, Green, Lebron, Kuzma and Davis needs to be the lineup at the end of the game. Kuzma will need to be hitting shots. If he does that, the Lakers win it.
Made Holliday work for his points... Caused two turnovers, one Davis cashed and the other retained possession. Major minutes in the fourth. Got drug tested off a viral pic that was actually photoshopped? Is this real life? Still needs to be aggro on offense. Had neat coast to coast lay-in with his off hand.
Holiday was killing Rondo. Caruso at least slowed him down. He also tipped an inbound pass in the 4th right after an AD score that led to an immediate second score by AD. No, he can’t seem to shoot, but his activity on defense and his ability to get to the rim are proving super valuable.
I thought the game within the game was to watch who would hustle harder, Caruso or Hart. Good effort by both.
+23 in 25 mins. Next closest Laker was Dwight @ +9. This is why that +/- stat matters. Doesn’t need to score or even touch the ball on offense to go full #balldhawk on D. You love to see it! After a game like that, dude’s fittin’ to pee in a cup again.
"Hopefully the Lakers’ brass trusts their scouts to do it again, and gives that prospective player a chance to prove it (Cacok?)" They don't even have to reach with wondering about Cacok when the scouting department's hits just keep on coming with our late draft pick in TNT. I don't care if he likes THT better. Bongo probably liked Bonga better.
also Lebron: He gives us self confidence He gives us perspective He gives us hope If a balding middle aged white guy can ball like that, what’s my excuse?
