Very impressive indeed. When Luka and Reaves went down at the very end of the season, that was it for me. I thought there was no way the Lakers could even win one game. DJ tried to calm me down, and now the Lakers are proving me wrong. What a great feeling to see the team coming together and playing as a team!
Man, That’s very true.
