The breakfast burrito lived up to the hype. Also, the cilantro crema sauce is the way to go.

For those who don't really follow the Dodgers, think of Andrew Friedman as baseball Sam Presti.
Obviously, I hope Walter pursues the actual Presti (or a Brad Stevens). But I would actually trust Friedman to run the Lakers over Pelinka. That's how much smart/adaptable he is.

Going to be real NOICE when Bron is back.
Just look how quick the ball zips with Luka, Bron, and AR all out there.

More baskets out of Luka double teams.
Nice to see AR not going for a wild alley oops pass haha.

LA certainly woke up after a listless first few minutes to start the game.
Luka scored everywhere and LA scored out of Luka double teams too. Good to see the ball zipping around like this.
Luka to Hayes to Knecht.

Thiero/Kleber enter the game and LA plays nearly flawless defense (Trent hitting a tough shot notwithstanding).
Then, on the other end, Theiro chases down a nice offensive rebound which leads to an open three for Kleber.

LA missed Ayton's size on the interior, but they still found ways to limit Ja Morant last night.
Ja was obviously in his own head and weirdly passive. But defense like this by LA only made Ja's night tougher.
LA collapses on Ja, then rotates/closes out on shooters. Great stuff.

5) High screen by Ayton. McDaniels fights over screen to push AR towards Gobert's help D. AR exploits Gobert's plodding D in space with a little crossover.
Conley is stuck btwn tagging Ayton and closing out on DK. DDV helps off LaRavia to contain AR. AR kicks out to LaRavia for the 3. Boom.

4) AR draws the defensive attention of McDaniels, Randle, and Gobert. Reaves passes the ball to Rui, who slips after re-screening McDaniels. Defense collapses on Rui, who kicks out to LaRavia who knocks down the open three.

3) AR with a touchdown pass to LaRavia, who manages to make the basket while stumbling/falling to the floor. Great chemistry between the two.

2) McDaniels picks up AR full court. But AR uses McDaniels' aggression against him by stopping on a dime with a behind-the-back crossover before knocking down the three. Harden-esque.

A thread highlighting a few AR possessions from last night.
1) Ayton screens near halfcourt in semi-transition catching McDaniels slightly off guard. Reaves gets past Gobert with a little hesi/change of speed + uses body control to score around his contest. Slippery like an eel.

Nice little crafty basket from Knecht last night.
Pops out to the top of the arc after setting a back screen for Rui, catches the ball and gets past Dillingham with a hesitation move, then finishes through contact at the rim after getting Gobert to bite on a fake.

1) Call may not have Pages' pop, but he can actually work counts and make a pitcher work
2) Smith should hopefully make Toronto pay should Shohei get walked or get on base
3) Regardless, LA is still gonna need Mookie to wake up

Nice little play by Reaves.
Uses his shake and change of speed to get past Camara and draw in the defense, then hits the pocket pass to Ayton who knocks down the open jumper.

It helps that the Kings played atrocious defense, but this is one of the many instances of AR, quite frankly, looking like Luka tonight.
Scored at every range, got tons of FTs, and began dissecting the defense with his passing once he started drawing double teams, like here:

Don't usually make impulse purchases, but I kinda had to pull the trigger on these when I saw three separate friends (who don't even know each) all rocking these and started seeing review videos pop up on youtube, etc.
