Wow.

[Mori Chu]

That is an interesting pair of games to happen to miss.

Mentioned in the Wolves thread that it felt like the bench was outplaying the starters lately.

Interesting. I'm most surprised by the bench's defensive rating. Thought it would be better than the starters.

I have the same feeling. But maybe the other teams’ bench units tend to be more defensive focused?

Man, Goodwin continues to come up big for us. Do you think the Lakers are kicking themselves for letting him go?

[pickle]

Ime hasn’t really wronged him. If anything he should he motivated to beat the crap out of the Grizzlies any time he sees them, no?

Lakers are too busy drinking the Luka Reaves kool aid and flushing out their nepo babies to care. My Laker friends are becoming insufferable again.

Again? Did they ever stop being insufferable? The Lakers just barely snuck by the Jazz tonight. Ayton had 2 points and 3 rebounds in 13 minutes. Did he get hurt?

"knee contusion"

Well one of them told me last year that they paid too much to trade for Luka. Another one who didn’t know who Austin Reaves was last year is now telling me they beat the Spurs and that Adou Thiero is the steal of the draft even tho he has no idea who the Buss’s are. So yeah they are becoming intolerable again. There was a nice little quiet time when they all jumped off the wagon to do something else.

When did we hire Muscala?

Spoiler: show/hide

When did we hire Muscala?

This summer to fill out Jordan Ott’s staff. It was posted at the time.

[Shabazz]

Ott’s got a tall task ahead of him distributing minutes when all the guards get healthy. A lot of deserving players and not a lot of minutes to go around.

Thanks, must have missed it. Was he the one the Lakers traded Zubac for?

I'm not super worried about it. We have great chemistry right now and guys who are in different stages of their careers, O'Neale and Grayson have long term contracts and they won't sulk if they drop from 33 to 20-25 mpg, and Goodwin is the kind of journeyman who will accept any role but stay ready. I am not sure how extension deadlines work but I'd love to give both him and CG extensions at the earliest possible date and take away career uncertainties and to be able to plan for our own future as well.
