Los Angeles Lakers – Page 20

Tyler Ennis Career High 20 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

The Lakers got two unexpected career-highs from two of their more marginal players, but it was not enough to overcome James Hardflop and Chris Whinybitchaul and the referees. Josh Hart’s 26 was impressive, but equally as impressive was Tyler Ennis’ 20 points, tying a career-high in that category, and 11 assists, which is somehow 1…

Josh Hart Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

I am of the opinion that career-highs set in games with overtime periods shouldn’t count (did Wilt need extra time to get 100???? hell to the no), but I’m willing to concede the point, because most people don’t agree with me on this. So, with the aid of a couple of OTs, Josh Hart got…

Larry Nance Jr. 16 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2017)

The Lakers just had a players-only meeting (or maybe Coach Walton was involved too, I don’t know) to address their frustrations with the team as the losses continue to pile up. That meeting occurred before their game against the Clippers; apparently it didn’t work, because they lost this one too. Larry Nance in general seems…

Brandon Ingram 23 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2017)

Everyone likes to complain about the Jazz still being called the Jazz even though they’re in Utah now, but where is the outrage that the Lakers are still called the Lakers? Last time I checked, which was like an hour ago so I doubt things have changed that much, Los Angeles wasn’t the land of…

Kyle Kuzma 31 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2017)

Maybe I just have a low tolerance for stupidity masquerading as insight, but this format of having the four Inside the NBA guys commentate an NBA game was one of the most unlistenable things I’ve ever had to sit through. Part of the reason is that having four people, especially four people who all think…

Julius Randle 21 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)

Julius Randle’s game is unaesthetic (like his face oooh sick burn) but the stats back up the assertion that it’s effective. He’s currently averaging an even 20/10 per 36 minutes on 55% shooting. It seems like he’s a decent player, if not an outright good one. So why do Lakers fans in general and Luke…

Kyle Kuzma 27 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)

Kyle Kuzma continues to flourish in his rookie season with bigtime scoring outbursts. Reminder: he is shooting over 50% from the field. That’s crazy for a rookie who isn’t a big man (basketball-reference lists him as a power forward, I’m not sure how much I believe that) and it makes me mad that last year’s…

Lonzo Ball 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2017)

Lonzo Ball waited behind a dumpster next to the player’s parking lot at Oracle Arena. It smelled like a year’s worth of expired nacho cheese had just been thrown away, but the smell was the farthest thing from Lonzo’s mind. He had an important mission to carry out. One by one, Warriors players parked their…

Corey Brewer 21 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2017)

Mike D’Antoni was sitting in his office, contemplating rotations for that day’s game against the Lakers, when the power suddenly went out in his office. “Those stupid construction workers,” he muttered, referencing the construction project that was ongoing across the street. He got up to flip his light switch off and on again, but no…

Kyle Kuzma Career High 38 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/20/2017)

Kyle Kuzma, the 27th pick of the draft, is now outscoring all of his draftmates except for Donovan Mitchell, who doesn’t count anyway because he scored 40 once. The hype for Kuzma was pretty intense after Summer League, and I’m sure I was not alone in thinking that he was just another older rookie dominating…
