"Davis was in disbelief, totally caught off guard. He FaceTimed James, hoping his friend could share something about what had happened and why.

“When it happened, I honestly didn’t know s—,” Davis recalled while standing in the hallways of Crypto.com Arena following the Lakers’ 107-99 win. “He’s been my running mate for six years ... so the first thing I wanted to do was call him. ... Obviously, I know there are going to be a lot of political things in the front office when they talk to me.

“The front office has to do what it has to do and obviously they’re going to do what’s best for the organization.

So I don’t know if I ever got the ‘real’ about any of it. I don’t know what’s true or what’s not, coming from upstairs. So, my thing is I’m gonna go to my counterpart who I’ve been running with and see what’s going on, get his reaction and that’s all it was. We had a conversation. That was it.

“Everybody’s saying nobody knew and all this other s—. I just don’t believe it. But, hey man, I’m past that. I’m ready to move forward with Dallas, try to get a championship there with these guys."

luka is such a godsend man

I've seen enough, this defense is legit

hopefully bron didn't tweak that hamstring, looked like it tightened up

Give him mine

Points allowed last 5 games: 100, 102, 100, 99, 102

Average: 100.2 ppg allowed

I wanted TSJ over Knecht

when Luka’s jumpers start falling

Bron spitting

JJ Redick: the team is optimistic that this isn’t a “serious injury” for Rui Hachimura but they don’t have a definitive timetable at this point. Rui had imaging done today. Team is trying to gather more information

Good win but these injuries piling up a lil bit

Trey Jamison and Goodwin better than Len and Reddish. Make the move Rob. Isn’t today the day 2 ways have to be called up to eligible? We just need a backup center to hit the boards, catch and dunk, set screens, be active, don’t allow an open lane for layups

Shout out to the refs that game

rui's gonna be out at least 7-10 days

fun team not title contenders tho

Disagree

We have two glaring holes (quality big man & a guard “stopper”) but no team is perfect.

With Luka, Bron, AR running the offense with defenders and shooters around them we can beat anyone if healthy
