I guess we're not gonna talk about how good Hayes has been playing recently ??
Bro killing it ngl
If only they didn’t let Zion get to the rim every play id be completely relaxed
we need a big body like Jemison on him
He's not feeling any type of resistance at the rim
Hayes is too weak
JJ Redick on Zion: "Zion obviously presents a lot of problems... We made three different adjustments on him tonight. It didn't work."
JJ Redick says the Lakers knew going into the game that they were gonna take a ton of 3s tonight with the way the Pelicans defend. They took a season-high 52 triples, leading to a season-high 136 points.
"We felt like we were gonna launch tonight, and we did."
JJ Redick on Luka Doncic, who finished with 30 points, 15 assists and 8 boards and was a +37:
“They tried a bunch of different coverages on him (blitz … switch … drop)… he solved every riddle.”
JJ Redick says the Lakers "are starting to get into a groove and rhythm" playing with Luka Doncic.
Luka Doncic on LeBron James:
"Watching him do this stuff at this age is unbelievable. 50K points, I can't even explain that. He might get to 70K, you never know."
Jarred Vanderbilt on the Lakers having a bench full of "dawgs" and guys willing to scrap and give extra effort:
"I love it. That's the culture we're trying to set."
Aye real s*** shoutout Hayes for stepping up in these times
The Jaxson Hayes Revenge Game, as we all envisioned it.
Jeanie Buss on quietly pulling off the trade of the year - acquiring Luka from the Dallas Mavericks for Anthony Davis
"We gave up a lot to get Luka Dončić. We're happy we have him. We have lost the last three years in a row to the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, and we really didn't have anything that was going to look different going into the playoffs again.
Anthony Davis was complaining about where he was being played and he wasn't happy. So I think this was a positive for both teams.
They got what they were looking for; we got what we were looking for.
And I didn't realize it was going to be international news like it was, but that's the power of the Laker brand and its ability to draw big names who want to write their own chapter in Lakers history."

Jeanie is wrong for saying AD was complaining and not happy.
All AD wanted was some help at center and that was the first time he said anything publicly after asking privately every year.
I hate when front offices tell blatant lies to spin the narrative in their favor to justify their decisions.
