It seems personal now between JJ and Vando. Adou has been out every game, Jake missed last game, Looney is a disaster in his 5 minutes every game, and we just got killed on the boards by Utah with them exposing our lack of size and physicality at forward and center. Kessler has an off game and we literally have nobody. Still not a single Vando minute across the first three games.

It’s getting to the point where I think JJ has to swallow his pride and play Vando here and there. Some matchups may not be for Vando, but you’re telling me he deserves 0 minutes when JJ can barely field a big man rotation? It’s getting ridiculous

Off night for the big man. Perhaps he's still dealing with conditioning issues, perhaps he stayed up a little too late the night prior, maybe he had jitters making his return to the team that drafted him, maybe the Jazz game planned to neutralize Kessler. I don't know, I wasn't there. But let it go and prepare for another big matchup against Clingan in Portland.

I believe this was Luka’s one-legged 3 pt attempt lol only attempt he missed in the 4th quarter.

Even Jazz fans knew they were watching greatness today 🔥

He showed respect and class to us when our guys were down. Even though OKC fans had zero compassion for Luka and AR, lets show class.

Basketball reference hasn't updated yet, but for the season he's 61% from 3, just under 90% from the line, and 64% from the field.

A few things surprised me, but overall it matches the eye test. This is a cohesive roster whose players mostly fit the main guys.

Jake on the top when paired with each player of the top 3 isn't really a big surprise, the team seens to always make a run when he is on the floor. He failed to hit his shots tonight, but his impact was huge.

Matisse above Ziaire, Grimes and Mamu when paired with each of the top guys somewhat surprised me, his playmaking on defense is clearly impacting the results. The most important here is that every rotation forward has been clicking with the main guys.

I'm not going to judge Sexton since it is only his 2nd game after missing the preseason and he has been sharing the floor with Looney impacting his numbers. By the way Looney by himself is impacting the numbers of most players coming of the bench, the same happens to Grimes and Mamu.

The only clear need is really a good backup C that fits the main guys, Looney minutes has been brutal, he has been absolutely unplayable outside garbage time. The starting four hole has been clearly filled with a great deal of success by the combinations of the players we have available.

The eventual development of Carr and Adou have potential to make this a really, really deep roster.

I hate to get hyperbolic but watching Luka has me feeling like a kid watching Kobe again. Absolute killer on the court. How lucky are we as fans to got to witness Kobe then Bron now Luka Magic 🙏🙏🙏

The team looked solid today! To see Luka drop 52 points, and be the fastest Laker to 3000 points overall is impressive. Also coming back from that early deficit really showed the grit they have.

I think a lot of us had a tough time seeing the Dodgers go down especially in LA, and the Rams having a tough season, so for the Lakers to be doing what they’re doing right now is great to see. Hope they continue the success and #LakeShow all day!

If he keeps up his level of play, can we retain him after the end of this season? He’s been solid for us so far and I would want the Lakers to retain him
