depends who else we’re giving up but yes probably

good riddance. Reddish is so low IQ

2022-23 Lakers after 39 games: 18-21

with bron and AD playing most of the games

we're so cooked...

Darvin Ham says that the members of his staff that review plays immediately to determine if he should challenge a call were telling him in unison not to challenge many of the team’s second-half fouls.

Darvin Ham says D'Angelo Russell was "phenomenal" and "set the tone" for the Lakers tonight.

"He made some high level plays, hit some high level shots. He played great."

Darvin Ham on Rui Hachimura's return:

"It was great to see him back out there and performing, not hesitant."

Darvin Ham says that the Lakers need to be better at playing through "adversity" such as when they are getting called for as many fouls as they were tonight.

Darvin Ham says that Cam Reddish is being evaluated by the Lakers’ medical staff and the team will have a “definitive” plan for him on Monday.

Anthony Davis: “It was on me. I didn’t do my job tonight.”

Austin Reaves on Anthony Davis' night:

D'Angelo Russell tonight:

39 Points
8 Assists
3 Rebounds
2 Blocks
1 Steal
57% FG
54% 3P
100% FT

D'Angelo Russell on his season-high 39 points:

"It was fun just hooping... Just try to take this aggression and apply it to the next game."

D'Angelo Russell on playing with Austin Reaves:

"We got a lot of credibility in the short stint that we have together. When you put us out there, it works."

“His skill is very unique... It’s an honor to share the court with him.” Austin Reaves praises D’Angelo Russell for his play tonight.

D'Angelo Russell on how LA collectively found an offensive rhythm tonight: "When our offense is working, it's our defense that's not. When our defense is going, it's our offense that's not. So I don't know. Y'all tell me. Nah, really, I don't know. I can't even give you nothing."

Rui Hachimura:

Especially in the first quarter, we got to bring the energy. Every team we play, they want to beat us. We're the Lakers so they want to come out with good energy so we can lose to them. We're always trying to catch up in the second quarter, so we just got to match the energy from the first quarter."

A plan for him to get traded hopefully
