One of the standouts for the Lakers off the bench this season has been Marcus Smart. Brought in after a couple of disappointing seasons since being traded from the Celtics, Smart has been rejuvenated in LA and has made a positive impact on a nightly basis.

There weren’t many Lakers highlights in their contest against the Suns, but Rui Hachimura was essentially not involved offensively at all. Hachimura had just one shot attempt in the game, which is shocking considering he averages 10 per game. Considering the Lakers went on to get blown out, it’s perplexing to see Hachimura being such […]

Once a key piece of a rotation that made the Western Conference Finals, Vando has been on the outside looking in for the last six games. Even in his last appearance, he […]

Watching Dillon Brooks prancing around Crypto.com Arena as he torched the Lakers wasn’t the best way to end LA’s homestand. The loss was bad, and it felt even worse considering it was the first time the Lakers played a team with a winning record since their victory against the Bucks back on Nov. 15. Despite […]

Things didn’t go well for the Lakers against the Suns. Not only did they lose in blowout fashion, but they played even worse than the 125-108 score indicates. Los Angeles got run out of the gym late in the second quarter and they never recovered. Luka Dončić, who has been playing at an All-NBA level […]

Dillon Brooks is good at two things: talking and basketball, in that order. He’s consistently a talker — unless his team is imploding in the playoffs and he starts ducking the media — and inconsistently a good basketball player. On Monday, he had one of those often sporadic good games, hitting 10 straight field goals […]

For some time now, the Lakers have been flirting with an unserious loss. The second half of Sunday’s game against the Pelicans served as the perfect example of how the team was coasting by on its talent and not its effort. So, when the Suns — a team whose identity is playing hard — came […]
