Man..I’ve been totally unimpressed by Snyder in this series. Just haven’t seen a whole lotta adjustments..lets just chuck 3’s and hope for the best. And the Clipps were actually seeking out the DPOY with iso ball off those switches on the perimeter. Gotta do better..
5 Things: Lakers start 7 game road trip by beating Kings

tSorry, I missed responding to your last fiver due to technical issues. But here we are with another great one.
This is one of the best games the team has played since LeBron went down. They were very good both offensively and defensively, and they did it for a full 48 minutes. I don’t really care if it was against the Kings, they certainly did what they supposed to do to win the game convincingly.
Your take on Kuzma, KCP, THT, Schroeder, and Gasol was money. But I would also like to add Markief to the list for his aggressiveness. He’s been doing the little things so effectively and looking for his shots which have alleviated his game. That’s what I was expecting from him all along. I am becoming a big fan of his.
Your quote: “I don’t think it’s a surprise that when THT struggles the Lakers struggle.” That sentence right there caught my attention throughout the game, and for the past games as well. For some reason, when THT gets going things tend to open up for the team. There has to be some sort of correlation. For example, does he motivate the other players to up their game by watching him attack the paint and making wise and controlled decisions such as passing? But he surely brings a different kind of energy to the team when he’s on.
It was heartbreaking to see Mathews take that hard fall. I hope he doesn’t have to be out for a long time.He has been playing very good defense and I was hoping he would definitely help taking turns to defend Kahwi tomorrow, but man, this injury bug can’t seem to stay at least 3 feet back from the Lakers.
Thanks Buba! Yeah I really felt for Wes when he went down. While on-court play for many Lakers has been on the disappointing side this season you never want to see a guy get hurt. Same for Dre and all our banged up Lakers.
THT is an interesting barometer, much like Caruso last season. If Alex had a decent to good game last season we won more often than not. The same feels like it applies to THT this season. So here’s hoping h puts a gem together today.
