1) Everyone wants to see DFS start for Rui but I’m thinking we need to get the ball in Reaves’ hands more. This is an issue that will also organically resolve upon LBJ’s retirement but he needs to be featured more. Great game last night.
2) We do not handle aggressive, physical defense well. At all. Reaves, LBJ, and Luka all get whiny. Last night they came back by amping up their ball pressure and forcing a ton of TO’s. We almost lost as a result.
3) Hayes can and should start. Perfect dude to grow with Luka and Reaves. Needs to add a shot from 3-5’ out and he’s solid.
4) DFS is the key to so much. Makes the game easier for everyone, takes shots in the flow, as vital as any player on the team. Just amazing intangibles.
5) Need some pictures LT, half the dudes in the blog pages ain’t in the team anymore lol. Loving the new-look Lakers!
