The way I see it we need to keep the game in the high 90’s/low 100’s. The defense we saw from the Skeleton Crew has to be the blueprint, small sample size be damned. They have to feel us on every pass, every shot and we need to gang rebound like our season depends on it. Because it does. Ayton has a golden opportunity in front of him: be the best center. This is the time to shine. Rui had a golden opportunity stating him in the face. Pay day or looking for roster spot. Can’t vanish now.
Could be a huge thing if Luka can come back for game 6 or 7. Still think he won’t be back until mid 2nd round, at best, but we’ll see. Reaves is another question, I think it’s as much about what he can tolerate and play effectively with so
The Lakers have a massive mountain to climb, this moment feels like the last 1/2 hour or so of the movie Secratariat where a horse and jockey who ought not to be racing go all in. The Lakers need a to find a Hollywood ending to this series and it can start with a solid showing Saturday night.
Gonna”fiery demeanor” his way off the team, JJ needs to build something during this time. You just benched the dude for Luke Kennard, who has been great, maybe give him a slight amount of leeway?
