Good Win now 4th in the west

By 3 Comments

Aloha,

This was a good win. It really feels like this team is really coming together. And it was a team effort. We shot the ball well. 43% from 3 and 49% overall. And 5 guys were in double figures.

the Hawks are not a good defensive team. But it was our defense that impressed me the most. The Hawks are a very good offensive team. They are 5th in the league in scoring at 117 a game and we held them to 102. We also out rebounded them by 17 boards. If We didn’t have turnover issues again we would have won by more than 17.

We are now 4th in the west and climbing. The DFS trade was a great move that will pay off more as he becomes familiar with our system.

I believe we have a real shot at the 4th seed.

Eric Pincus Trade Idea to Land Lakers Much-Needed Center

Los Angeles Lakers get:

-Walker Kessler

Utah Jazz get:

-Christian Wood
-Removal of top-4 protection on the Lakers’ 2027 first-rounder
-2029 first-rounder

Note: The Lakers previously sent the 2027 first-rounder to Utah in the Russell Westbrook trade. It will only be conveyed if L.A. is in the 5-30 range; otherwise, it will send its 2027 second-rounder. If the Lakers win the lottery (Nos. 1-4), their second-rounder will go to the Nets. After the Kessler trade, the 2027 second-rounder would still go to the Nets or Jazz, with the adjustment removing protection in the first round.
