    great off ball activity from russell that indirectly led to buckets for others (especially young) in this one. on a few plays, he drew the defensive attention just by his movement on the weak side.

    largely solid on d, too.

    He looked fantastic in the first half tonight.

    I still can't get over our dynamic duo of D'angelo Russell and Nick Young when they're hitting shots together like that. It was supposed to be Russell and Clarkson we all thought ...... until Luke came to town and Nick never left.

    If Russell think $95K is a lot of money for the fan to win, what does he think of Deng's contract

    $95k in a night when you make, I don't know, $40k, is a ton. Deng has already made more than $100m in his career. But I feel you.

    Sure, but lets not forget and Stu brought it up last night as well. Uncle Sam is just as happy that this fan won money as well.

    Funny how we win when DAR isn't turning the ball over on crucial possessions.

    He's looking healthier, hopefully gen can string together a few good performances and be consistent.

    Some very solid reads last night in dropping the ball perfectly in the passing lanes for Randle especially.

    It's a lot. I've realized that little sleep is terrible for my mental health. But Kobe gone, too.

    Which one? The interior pass in heavy traffic, the longish bounce pass or the bullet pass to end the 1st half? The later was my favorite.

    I thought it was to Mozgov, but I also thought it was just before the half - so maybe it was the bullet pass to Randle just before half. That one is around 2:20 here:

    same. being on the east coast and having a two-year old makes laker home games a one-half affair for me at best.
