    Not quite Oden levels, but I don't think DA ever got carded after he was 12.

    Hope Lakers can get an easy one against NO. I have a feeling this is the first time Ayton really has a chance to get in a good revenge game against the Suns. It will be tough of they have to string it out in back end of a back to back

    He’s playing so well. Bummer he banged that knee again. Those four blocks! And the double double!

    Not a Big 3 to thumb your nose at when the OTHER Big 3 piece LBJ not available. When he is it's Big 4 out there. This guy is playing fantastic! What consistent efficiency on offense from inside the key area and just super rim protection with his timing and ability to not bite much on pump fakes. Apparently MUCH stronger than he looks from wide angle shots, but up close with the camera he's a big Dude in great shape.

    I think Reaves and Luka need to try to get Ayton a few more shots a game. Sometimes they get too shot happy like last night.

    Very easy 17. Probably should've gotten him up to 25. Without Poeltl, there was no one to guard him. Austin and Bron spoon fed him in their sleep.



    Big time stop at the end

    Got to get the refs credit they didn't give Lebron that call all night so they didn't give to BI either especially when he in there a lot weaker

    ...agile, mobile but methinks could be more hostile towards opponents.

    Lakers need to find a way to keep him

    Huge difference having him in the middle

    What we've all been wanting for years is now here

    He was flying out there. Helps that neither Drummond or Embiid can jump over a phone book to contest anything.
