Aloha Tom, nice post. Yes we are seeing the full Luka effect. The quality of the open 3 point looks is amazing. I still chuckle when the Lakers defense is called small ball. Mike Trudell calls it small center ball because of the size of everyone, back court and front court. They are not small.
Nice post Jamie, as usual I believe it’s the others that will determine if we win. Especially the 2nd unit. You know you are going to get hard nose defense and hustle from that group. Scoring isn’t as dependable. When Gabe and DSF are hitting shots we can beat anyone. But sometimes they don’t and that defensive intensity isn’t enough. We go through scoring draughts sometimes. I think that’s when you give Dalton a shot.
That’s a bit deceptive DJ. He was fouled 8 times and went to the line. Thats 17 shot attempts.

That is clutch player of the year. It’s a relatively new award only the last couple of years.
Interesting stat. When Rui gets 10 shots or more the Lakers are 22-7. When he gets less than 10 they are 14-15. Find Rui Luka.
