Read MoreThe Lakers won a crucial game last night as we come to the home stretch of the regular season. Sure, LeBron, Murray and The Joker all sat but Luka and Reaves continue to develop the more important chemistry (assuming Reaves is part of future team plans) and we clinched the tie-breaker over Denver for home court advantage in the playoffs. All of this is important for a team that, despite a disastrous road trip last week, is still surging in the standings.
- Luka on fire early. Dude couldn’t miss. He’s gotten his legs under him and is moving more fluidly this week, which bodes well for the team and his efficiency. Still had a few too many turnovers, and that’s as much an adjustment of the Nuggets defense throwing different schemes and long dudes at him, but a lot of those plays won’t (or at least really shouldn’t) be attempted in the playoffs. I get what Dallas fans had to say about his complaining, while maybe not quite as bad as Devin Booker or Jayson Tatum, it is frequent and constant. Let coach do the complaining dude, and besides, you get to the line an awful lot as it is.
- Winning when you should. In sport the hardest wins are against what are looked at as soft or depleted teams. This ignores a little something called pride. pro athletes compete man, it’s how they’re wired.
- Nuggets chirping. Gott love Watson getting all chirpy and in Luka’s face. Dude dropped 21 on his team and he’s acting like the game was close and he was about to in it with his next hoop. Love that fight and grit, maybe just focus a little more on your defensive assignment, though lol.
- Hayes continues to shine. I’m just as pleased as pie with how Jax has been playing of late. I have been pulling for the dude since last season, and I’m sure we’ll see 213 trade pitches dropped with an eye to replace him, but I’m down with rolling with Hayes into next season on a fair extension. If he has a breakout playoffs…that extension price may climb past what the Lakers a re comfortable with, however…
- Bronny! Didn’t finish this until Friday morning so might as well tack on how great Mr. Bronny James played last night. When really nobody else showed up in a Milwaukee route, Bronny showed that he could have a brighter future than just about anyone who writes about sport predicted. I’ve said it before, but I think it bears repeating, the dude was and is a project. Everyone picked at 55 is a project, just how it goes. To his credit it sounds, and looks, like he’s been putting in the right work and the results are paying off. His first step is legit, he can blow by bigger defenders (and should have drawn a foul on Giannis that went uncalled). This wasn’t 48 minutes of garbage time, the lakers and Milwaukee had a vested interest in the outcome. Bronny’s stat line was full of career highs: 17 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 30 minutes played. Solid job, keep working and ignore the BS.

Markieff Morris on Bronny:"He's a hard worker. We play stay-ready a lot and he shows that he's working on his game. He's getting better day by day.

Here are NBA tie breakers:
What are the NBA tiebreakers?
Tiebreakers when two teams are tied:Better winning percentage in games against each other
Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)
Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if tied teams are in same division)
Better winning percentage against teams in own conference
Better winning percentage against teams eligible for the playoffs or the play-in tournament in own conference (including tied teams)
Better winning percentage against teams eligible for the playoffs or the play-in tournament in opposite conference (including tied teams)

“LA Lakers. Whenever you have LeBron James and Luka Dončić as your primary ball handlers and Austin Reaves as your third option — I love that because now you can put the ball in each of those guys’ hands.
I felt Anthony Davis was in LeBron’s way. LeBron is really a four now and that’s the position Anthony Davis wanted to play. He’s always on the box, he wasn’t stretching it that well.
Now you add a top five player in the NBA where he’s a matchup nightmare. When 77 walks in the building, OKC, Minnesota, Phoenix, Clippers — they dread seeing him. Now he has 23 on his back. What does that equal? 100.”
