    Ayton was really good tonight. He was able to not pick up his 6th foul in the 4th which was a huge key to the Lakers winning.
    The lob threat is overrated - he's a good enough lob threat and his ability to finish with that soft touch from anywhere close to the paint is absolutely elite and just opens up the game.

    Just a really solid performance on D and the glass, etc.

    I don't think he's a lost a center matchup since game 1

    That'll do



    Very efficient. Few more rebounds would've been nice against the smaller lineups the Blazers were running against us but that's nitpicking this one.

    I'd like Doncic not to be our leading rebounder, so nice to see double digits

    I thought he was fantastic. He was aggressive from the start, he played under control and like he was a former top pick, like he belongs. He’s never going to be perfect, he has lapses, but man, we don’t win without that performance.

    A lot of tonights win is due to Ayton, very good on both ends of the floor.

    My best hater impersonation:

    But but Ayton is not as good as Wilt or Shaq and and he hasn't scored as many points as Jabbar. And I am smarter than everyone so if you don't ....... blah blah blah!!!

    Great game, great season so far and he is holding his own and giving us something we did not have and needed.

    Outstanding revenge game by Ayton against his former team! He was so good tonight. If not for a bogus foul call or two he would have put up 30 plus.
