    We should not have seen him again until next season. Such a stupid move to try to get him going at this stage in the season.

    Dinwiddie more than 22 minutes. Bump him up to 30. Give the other 7 minutes to Max.

    Cam isn't back to pre-injury self, otherwise I'd consider him as well.

    Dinwiddie is the one that f***ed up the game in the 3rd quarter, not Vincent.

    Well..Spencer is less to blame overall, than poor performances from Rui and D'Angelo. But those last 2mins of the 3rd were some just bad basketball from him.

    He made the second most 3s for us tonight. That was a s*** lineup Ham went to after Bron got it to a manageable margin before sitting. Coach didn't put them in a position to succeed. During that stretch SD was bad but he had a solid 18-19 minutes. Gabe is worse than Cam offensively right now. Can't play him.

    Doesn't take away from the fact that Spencer took some bad shots, had some bad passes, and lost his man a couple of times during those last 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter. That's just what happened, other than that stretch, he was pretty solid in that game.

    Vincent made some good defensive plays in his 15min.Yeah he went 0-3 from the field but, We didn't lose that game because of him either.

    Cam Reddish and Gabe Vincent had nothing to do on the court for a playoffs like game ..

    Lakers had a 8 players rotation , the pb is AD was out and Wood couldn't replace him or be Hayes backup for this game .

    Yeah but be totally honest. If you knew going into that game, that AD was out, and Rui and D'Angelo would shoot a combined, 31% from the field and 28% from 3. You totally wouldn't expect to win that game period.

    Brick level defense there.

    I guess he thought the guy with the ball was going to pass it but then he just gave up on the play.

    Strange

    Gotta be the worst offensive player on the roster. Wide open layup blown leading to AD injury.

    Solid defense I guess

    Decent man defender but 0 offensive skills and he's cutting into Dolomite's minutes.

    He doesn't make mistakes but he doesn't really do anything else. It seems Ham falls in love with certain players even when it doesn't make sense.

    Ham has to play him because he's the right defensive archetype for GS and the Kings. Dinwiddie has fixed a lot of the defensive mismatch issues but Lakers don't have anyone to thrown on these quick twitch ultra fast PGs

    Sucks that he's been hurt that his offensive game has completely left him but I think Ham is making the right call to get him minutes

    Yeah.

    He has a chance to quiet the doubts with good defense against Denver.
