    Agreed. These guys play hard and it shows. Last night felt like the kind of game we would lose in the past honestly.

    The new guys look as good as I hoped and still have a lot of upside given how little they have actually played together.

    The team is enjoyable to watch and has a ton of potential.

    5-2 without Lebron and without Luka for a couple of games is very unexpected.

    I’ll go out on a big thick limb I’m not worried about in the least and say this team is going to have chemistry and enjoy playing for and rooting for each other every bit as much …. and MOAR than our 2020 championship team did.

    That's a big "if"

    With LBJs ego it's hard to see

    It would be the best for the team overall and his longevity

    The whole team had a game.
    • Rui with 28 points, 4 rebounds, an assist, block and steal
    • Ayton with 29/10 and 3 blocks
    • LaRavia as the king of glue with 11/5/6/3
    • Smart didn't shoot well but competes so hard with 9/2/5/3 steals
    • Bronny with 5 points and 6 assists
    • Vando with 4/4/2/1/1
    And then there was Nick Smith who went on a heater in the third and closed it out with two dagger 3's in the fourth. 25 points and 6 assists.

    Amazing win that we would of never got the last 3 years.

    I guess this is the Nick Smith Jr thread tonight, what a game. That was fun as hell to watch, we rarely have small guards go off like that, reminded me of watching Van Exel long ago haha.

    Stupendous game missing our top three guys. Everyone available stepped up big time, Ayton, Smart, Rui, LaRavia, Knecht, Hayes, Vando, Bronny, and wow, Nick Smith Jr. He's giving me serious Lou Will vibes - instant offense. Keep him!

    Lol what a stupid win ahahah this is amazing, what a team!!!

    This does wonders to the whole group. Everyone believes we can win any game, everyone feels part of something collective and sky is the limit when you have that

    Vibes are great in the team ahead of very important games coming up.
    Kudos to everyone involved and I love to be made look stupid for complaining about throwing this game. More of that please!

    Next man up mentality.

    Fire in the belly.

    Team just gives a damn. The guys take pride in being Lakers and putting the jersey on.

    I absolutely love it.
