    espn working the jinx hard. it's like simmons is back.

    anyway, some interesting tidbits.

    first, didn't know he and russell had already become golfing buddies.

    second, it sure seems like ham wasn't sold on reaves when he got here, which...what were you watching last year, bro? i mean, this guy understands:

    very encouraging stuff on the contract front, both in terms of the estimate (4/60 is lower than he'll get offered, imo) and in terms of direct quotes from him (and rob, to a lesser degree) about wanting to be here.

    a little shade from rob to russ, too, imo--suggesting his presence (and maybe bevs) was holding reaves back. that could also be considered some shade for ham as well.

    Yessir, but not all smiley’s are approved, and the big dog is quite busy. If we advance to round two, maybe we lobby for another update.

    Still lobbying for a “nice” ;) shot of Austin to replace THT here.

    Yeah, DLO seems like a really good teammate this time around on and off the court. Happy Gilmore 2 starring AR?


    I guess Ham didn't read or didn't trust Bron's scouting report on Austin.


    Contract info sounds good. I'm a little surprised at how up front Austin is about how important securing that bag is for him. He hasn't been agent polished yet, it's a little refreshing.


    I don't think anyone missed Westbrook and should dump all the shade on him. Austin dodging Shams asking about him was telling.

    Yeah I didn’t realize Sirron made any.


    Sirron can you send them to me? And thank you for your continued support again.

    That’s an addition I can make pretty easily

    I like Ham, I just think he is better suited for a lead assistant role. I would have preferred Quinn Snyder.

    I look at it as a combination of Ham being a rookie coach and makes some bad calls because of inexperience, and fans always hating the coaches decisions.

    Seems like 90% of teams fan basses hate their coach while other teams fans look at their coach from afar wishing they had that coach.

    Yep, the one that we let get away. Ham is a novice at being at the helm.

    Nice 11-8-6

    3 ball was ugly (1/7) but we didn't need it.

    Best margin of victory by a coach of a 7th seed vs a 2 seed in a close out game.

    my man is already starting to lock down records. Highly impressive!

    Steady all around. Yeah, he missed a lot of threes but everything else was great as usual.

    Steady but a little sloppier than usual. Those missed 3s suck but he managed to adjust and attack in other ways.

    Was careless on some passes on the halfcourt and missed open looks but he's still awesome. Crazy how good he's become. He's like guys like Lebron where a mediocre game for them is still a big net positive

    Timing on those 2s he scored was impeccable. Each time... to not allow the momentum to shift.

    The reporter just asked Austin “How was it playing out there with AD, LeBron, and DLo with their performances?”
    I guess he didn’t realize Austin wasn’t too far off of a Triple Dubb. He also didn’t realize that Austin has consistently been the Lakers third best player since the All Star Break.
    They will learn. It will take some time, but they will learn.

    Yeah, he wasn’t hitting the 3, and he had some bad turnovers, but everything else was rock solid, as almost always. Dude is special.
