Well... @lakerjones we got our wish after all even if the scenario isn't the best one. Hart will be starting for Ingram most likely.
Wait. What? That was the first outrageous call IMO. Where else was his left arm supposed to go with the defender sticking his face into Josh's legitimate drive up to the rim? He had symmetry with both arms and hands holding the ball.
That was what my eye test was telling me. The starting lineup should be McGee, Lonzo, Hart, Kuz, and LeBron. Bring Ingram off the bench
So 26 pts total by the bench tonight (with SA's bench putting up 54)...sure seems like we need a super sub. :Kuzmawhoknew:
Outstanding game tonight. This is why I like Hart - going up by double digits to start the game rather than being behind by that amount. Killing it from behind the arc. Strong D. My favorite Laker. Glad he's starting.
if anyone finds a clip of Josh Hart's reaction to that one foul tonight that had him scratching his head, please post it. It was gif worthy I think
^ no way this happens BI is the golden child... even though he hasn't proved s*** so far. I was hoping, that punching Harden was the turning point. It wasn't, still waiting... but my patience is running thin.
Only thing bad about Hart starting is not having him off the bench with Rondo and BI out. He was the only consistent player that helped right the ship when KCP or Lance were getting out of line. Hopefully when Rondo gets back, he can control that bench unit a little better. I want to see more Rondo and Chandler together.
I think BI off the bench would be killer with KCP and an other shooter to clear the paint for him (hopefully that guy is Svi n eventually Wagner). We should give BI the green light with Wagner as the backup PF so he can play the lopez role like last yr.
Oh man, yes. I can’t wait to have Rondo back, bringing much needed depth and stability to our bench. Edit: how does he always find himself in those missed high-5 situations? Is he doing it on purpose and trolling everyone now?
