From 3 guard lineups to no guard lineups

What a time

ham dumbass finally realized he better off playing wood over hayes because at least he can give you something on offense because they both offer nothing defensively

Damn whoever leaked all that s*** about ham got rui starting, max mins and now wood mins.

He's also playing Max Christe instead of playing Prince 35+ mins

can't wait until they both get DNPs next game

max will be back to the bench when cam plays unfortunately.

it was you

ctfu too accurate

Darvin “what is consistency” Ham

pockets hamas

Wood providing good minutes

Just need Ham to not play the same players in the 3rd quarter and have some shooting alongside Bron and AD

Lakers 133, Hornets 112

Final home win of 2023

Christian Wood tonight:

9 points
3/4 (75% shooting)
5 rebounds
4 assists
+19 (second highest on team)

Max Christie tonight:

10 points
2/3 3PT
7 rebounds
3 assists
2 blocks

I know the attention is all on Pistons but the Hornets are horrendous. S/O to MJ for bringing back Clifford

AD tonight:

26 points
8 rebounds
4 blocks
2 STL

With a road back-to-back against the Timberwolves and Pelicans coming up, Darvin Ham says he expects LeBron and AD to have themselves "ready and available" for both games.

Darvin Ham believes AD is in a "great rhythm" right now and the new starting lineup is forcing him to be more aggressive playmaking.

Austin Reaves says that "figuring out what we want our identity to be" is a big focus for the team right now.

"Sometimes we can be so versatile that it might hurt us a little bit."

Austin Reaves:

"Anytime we can give LeBron and AD a rest, they do so much for our team every night, is good."

Rui Hachimura tonight

17 PTS
4 REBS
1 STL
+34

The Lakers have shot 42% on 3-pointers over the last 10 games of the season

Max Christie on playing alongside Anthony Davis:

“AD’s been phenomenal. He’s the anchor of our defense and offensively we go to him a lot as well. He saves a lot of us … he’s been really consistent for us.”

Anthony Davis says "if we go out and defend how we're supposed to" then they will fare well in the upcoming back-to-back against the Timberwolves and Pelicans.

"Two important games to close out 2023."

LA’s 3PT% rank:

Last 5 games: 1st
Last 10 games: 3rd

basketball.realgm.com/tradechecker/saved_trade/7933379

would you do this trade I made up

DLO, Vincent, future 2nd for Bogdanovic and James Wiseman

whatever the pistons have rigght now is not working. DLO can be spark for them and mentor Cade and Ivey. suddenly their backcourt isn't so bad. Vincent a filler, prolly be good for Pistons away from LA bright lights. Bogdanovic is win now player who is elite shooter and isn't scared of the moment. Wiseman is still only 23, and worth a shot. I think he could be good here. We clear our log jam at SG and Pistons have a log jam at their center spot. Wiseman is a not getting minutes on pistons. Ausur also moves into starting SF with this move

new look Lakers
C: AD / Wiseman or Woods
F: Lebron/ Vandy
F: Rui / Prince
G: Cam/ Bogdanovic
G: Reaves/ Christie

then we package another pick for another guard. we need another big and we get a sniper
