Good morning. The league needs to have a serious conversation about JJ being in nomination for Coach of the Year.
The buy-in he has cultivated from his players—spectacular! Lakers are 7-2, despite being entirely without Bron, and with Luka missing 4 games and AR missing 2 games. Team of dogs.

At least the Lakers will have their full center rotation available to battle Wemby. Also, with no games after tonight until Saturday, AR will have a total of 6 days rest to nurse his groin injury if he’s to suit up against the Hawks.

On the other end of this equation, there are 11 players using at least 3 possessions as a P&R roll man. Ayton (4.4 possessions a game, 3rd most in the league) is tallying 1.03 points per possession (6th best), and is shooting 55.6% on those shots (3rd best). Pretty potent combo.

Good morning. Lakers have the 2nd most wins in the West, despite the team being frequently without their first, second, and third best players at the same time or in some combination.
Oh, and Jake LaRavia got a win on his birthday—so that’s cool.
