    I'm glad to see him playing with energy, like earlier this season

    Played well n the first half and then disappeared.
    Oh well, at least we are 29th in the NBA at protecting the rim.

    He's FAR from perfect attitude wise but I sometimes can understand his frustration .. Played with energy on the defensive end and never got rewarded for it on the other end .

    maybe he's been hurt between the eye and the knee he's been nursing several injuries. He's definitely just not the same as the beginning of the year

    Trouble is with his lackadaiscal attitude and his history, just hard to tell with the guy.

    he had a couple really aggressive plays on defense in the first half that i can recall. he also had a few times where i was wondering why he wouldn't just sprint down the floor on defense. of course, i wonder that about, like, almost every laker player every year. i'm still scarred from watching jokic's tubby a** just beat AD down the court routinely.

    Two very solid games in a row for Ayton. He was the only guy on our team who could hit a shot in the first half v. Minny. He kept us in there with a double double in the first half, 12 and 10!
