That play in the first half when he dived twice to deflect it from Murray, and Vogel got so hyped he ran onto the court to pull him up. That was dope.
He’s fearless and can sometimes affect guys with his defense up into them that are much bigger than him. Rarely seems that he’s hurting us on D with his size. And he’s that speedy elite PG that other teams usually have but the Lakers haven’t had since??
See? That stuff doesn't show up in Basketball Reference, but we see it. That drive and energy is priceless. And nice touch with the Bach Cello Suite playing in the background for our German kid.
Lakers need to trust him and let him loose on isos and PnR when the offense is stagnant Terrific game tonight but the offense died when he was off the court and then they used him only as a corner 3 point shooter to end the game. In OT, when he finally got a shot he was able to get to the rim and created two easy looks
Hoping Bron sits tomorrow and Dennis gets to run the offense against his former team. Need to get our shooters back in rhythm - Wes, Alex, Kief, and KCP. Teams trying zone on us often is because we run too much ISO woth Bron and Ad. With they way Dennis and THT can drive and dish... let’s see it more. Tomorrow is a good opportunity to “cut em up” Kobe Nash style (Bynum after a 14 assist game by Kobe).
Like that he was able to finish strong. SGA wiped the floor with him for most of the game but he was able to keep it together for a good finish
Felt like he was involved in every positive play for the Lakers through the end of regulation and OT, both offensively and defensively. Great game, another example where his energy and constant motor can lead him to be a great contributor for us even when his shooting is a little sloppy.
