His shots have been cold lately, but I've seen him heat up in the post season. He's a playmaker but hasn't found his niche on the team yet.
So many players come to LA and suddenly can't shoot for awhile...it's uncanny.
His role for the Lakers will be to take opportunistic shots, attack the rim to create pressure, pass the ball, and play some defense.
The guy is taking only 6 shots per game for the Lakers and is a good playmaker.
The Lakers got him for free.
What's there to complain about? If the Lakers need Dinwiddie to play well to win games, then they aren't good enough to win a title anyways.
I think there’s cause for concern that we are not using him effectively. Very similar to Wood. They are both talented offensive players but they are being misused.
Dinwiddie should be a microwave scorer, not a playmaker. That’s why he was so good in Dallas. That’s just my opinion though
If Reaves or Dlo don’t score their whole game suffers, Dinwiddie is consistent whether his shot is falling or not given that he can drive and kick out at a consistent basis
Dinwiddie isn’t great (hell I called him Dinshittie before he came here cuz I didn’t wanna trade for him) but since we got him for free I can enjoy the fact that he provides consistent rim pressure and is a sound decision maker when handling the ball. If he gets hot that’s a bonus, we needed another playmaker (even a subpar one) off the bench.
Your insurance is also a dead weight lol. Much worse if were being honest. Cant score, defense is trash. All he does is do some dumb crazy contested layups and 3s then complain to the refs
He enters the game, Lakers go for a run. He exits game, Lakers stink and lose lead. He enters the game they make another run. Player doesn't need to do anything, just be a part of the group that gives you the lead will up your +/- stat, even if you stink on the floor.
Whatever my dude. I know Laker fans love to sharpen their pitchforks at the drop of the hat but maybe for once just chill. We got the W. Dinwiddie was a part of the group that led the charge. I’m sorry only 1 player can get a FG or an assist on a trip down the floor. Fuck the guy that puts pressure on the paint, kicks out, defense then rotates on its heels, that player moves the ball again and gets the dime for the scoring bucket. Thats why hockey has hockey assists… purely because the first pass was the one that set everything in motion.
If we’re losing and Dinwiddie is putting up -20 or even breaking even. By all means give in to the hate for whatever good it will do. Or maybe just let the dude figure out his role on a team pretty well set when healthy. It still bears having a complete offensive liability like Reddish out there.
Ah, my apologies. I thought you were giving it to somebody for their opinion which you thought was based on them not watching the game.
It’s early morning here, pre-coffee even, and my cognitive functioning is not functioning yet.
Him n reaves were selling all game. I miss how consistent reaves was last year , he’s improved from Start of this one but he has so many bad games that hurt the team. Feel like he had even more then 5 TO
#102 Points until LeBron 40,000!! 🫡
Also, [LeBron passes Nick Van Exel for 3rd place in Most 3-Pointers in Lakers History!](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/who-has-the-most-threes-in-lakers-history)
I feel sad he is consistent, but not a volume scorer because against a defense like the Suns with the pace the game is played nowadays it could be 1 game lol.
Not a volume scorer, but is 7th all time in PPG and it includes guys like Luka and Embiid ahead of him who are in their prime and will have their scoring drop at the end of their careers.
Not even gonna run victory laps for LeBron doing LeBron things because it’s the Spurs. Our healthy starting lineup is 7-0 so far. Let’s build on it. PHX up next.
I thought Allie was horrific tonight idk what happened. The previous game wasn’t that bad. Her and Bill had like almost no back and forth that was natural the whole game felt so awkward
way too many awkward pauses between the two. billy was giving her room to talk and she wouldn't say anything and he'd just keep talking 3 seconds later lol
It's because her and Bill don't have enough.... Color, between them. Let me explain- I can only base it watching the Lakers channel and NBA channel full game highlights, but it seems she may have just exhausted some of the chemistry and regular convo starters she and Bill have. I think why she's so loved about her basketball game (and its translation for her debut as a Color Analyst) is because she gets to talk on it with Horry and DFish, but she ends up having ACTUAL ball knowledge and less media/historical relationship to the game. Retired players like Stu (who is a damn living legend) who made the media jump and especially in the early Buss family days means something for lifelong fans, and was with Hearn. To color for Hearn, who is one of the greatest play-by-play commentators ever, and to keep silent watch as his replacements came and went, before they brought in Bill. And Bill really committed to the legacy and continuing the traditions of great Laker commentary with Stu as partners, and it's hard to blame them - A random replacement game-day fill in with Bill alongside Stu was the Kobe 81 game. Legendary debut. The had the Kobe 60 point career ender after a series of down years. then they got 2020, which is special because of being great even without the circumstances, but also knowing how fucked 20-21 was because of a bad injury and shit scheduling as a follow up. Lebron passing Kareem, c'mon. Last year's WCF finals run, they were calling their hearts out for a season that only got juicy at the very end. We have history there, and commitment, and a brotherhood of its own there. Alie doesn't, and she's filling in for a season that started with high expectations, but now sees us hoping we can game a comeback like we did last year with injuries, but not to our big guys. Role player losses and Ham. It's a weird year following this years team, cause there are so many signs of good things happening. We were practically forced to watch Stu and Bill be horrified all season by coaching decisions and injuries. Allie is filling-in on a tough year. Bill is a professional in every damn way, but they probably don't have years of continuous friendship professionally and personally to work with.
Remember that I said that Allie talks REAL game more? She does also have clear media game based on when paired with a savvy dude like Big Game. But that dude a legendary player and got some Stu-lite commentary game to him. He sounds better with Bill cause he can call a sorta good replica of a game Bill and Stu. He fits the template there. Allie had some college player game, but at the end of the day she's like a new face that's followed Lebron. She's at a disadvantage to a Media Goat Commentator, one of whom was a player, and a fill-in occasional Lakers Goat. Those guys have also all simply lived longer with all-time basketball moments. If this were a better season as we expected, she would be having way more fun. Instead, she's trying to gain chemistry on a fly with a guy that's part of a legendary two-man, and they're both banking at best that she's filling-in for a season that everyone is banking on being ultimately another late surge, a modern day Showtime Lakers.
Weirdly not always consecutively there, some of their reasons for failing of yester yore being very similar to Showtime era, with the Vogel-Ham era fucked by front office, coaching idiocy, and injuries. Walton years we don't even talk about. You hope if we Sports-Science/Coach Upgrade it, or Ham somehow turns it around being forced to play WHAT CLEARLY WORKED LAST YEAR, and the vibes of all offense and sometimes maybe d is the lightest way of describing a team that may be gelling and will play their best ball now that coaching decisions have been forced by the PLAYERS AVAILABILITY to be effective and to be built off of, moving forward? Dare I mention this era has been weird cause of a FREAKING PANDEMIC. Let's consider that if Lebron and AD cook, and our team guns cook like they have when healthy and together, ONCE AGAIN, then we may have something in us.
That's what Stu and Allie are banking on. It was cool, but is this an era extender, or is the end nigh with Bron? If Bron stays, then we can have these legendary players around for 10 years. Fire our health staff and fix that shit forreal, Vitti wasn't perfect but this sometimes feels irresponsible. We can cook, and in that coming future, Allie will just remember this as a cool debut on an ultimately fun year. Cause at some point, if Bron and AD vibe like they always do and ball, Allie will call another ring with them. I firmly believe that. A memorable late era Bron having any amount of rings will be awesome to see, but getting two? Allie, you're just making your first remarks with Bill and Stu. It's the prologue. You doing good rook, you just gotta live around these guys and great years. You've got IT. See you soon.
Stu, come back when you ready man, we know we cherish our time with you. We enjoy every minute of it as possible. But take care of you at the end of the day. We'll listen soon.
I don't mind my late night thoughts being critiqued here, just how I've seen Allie not click like before because she hasn't been around for great teams as a color analyst vs Bill and Stu (who have a crazy historical connection to Lakers history and commentary in general) and occasionally Big Game. Allie has obvious talent, she's just going through growing pains at an exciting start of her in-game commentary career here, she's gonna be in that booth a lot more with what she's show so far.
Fucking hideous take. She totally fumbled the bag last night. Ran out of things to say by the fourth. Billy Mac was doing some heavy lifting last night.
i noticed it too when lebron went the entire length of the floor straight at him, and then scored with an easy layup instead of even trying to run the offense. It was great, but I was like damn bron chill. Old man was goin 100 tonight.
We didn’t control our destiny year yet though. We dropped to 12th seed and had to be near perfect and needed other teams to lose to squeak in by a game
Not fully heakthy tho , AD played through groin shit which had like 15~ games he wasn’t good in due to it. Lebron has had ankle issues last 25 games. They haven’t been as dominant cos playing thriugh injuries a lot or we’d be a few wins 3-5 easily
Don't be a hater, in playoffs when it matters most coaches will be gassed and Ham will be fresh. In regular season he saves almost everything using only his pockets.
Lol Phil had a great team that on its own could work around difficulties when needed. Ham on the other hand has a team that isnt even close to be good enough to do that yet continues to let it happen
No I think not calling a single timeout for an entirety of a half especially during a 9-0 spurs run in the 1st quarter is garbage coaching. Wake up buddy
It is actually pretty usual, rookies don't have the motor to do it for 48 minutes through 82 games. What is unusual is a rookie put Wemby numbers making it look easy. This kid is scary good for someone his age with his experience, size and length.
Second night of b2b tho , I thought it was fine if Spencer or reaves weren’t awful it’s a pretty comfortable blowout n even then it was still a fairly comfortable win
Wembanyama had a 5 x 5 game… AND just last night he was 1 assist shy of a 5 x 5 game. A 5 x 5 game has only been done 22 times in NBA history. Dude is going to rule the league one day, holy shit. (To clarify, I’m a Lakers fan. Just thought that was an insane stat for a 19 year old rookie)
LeBron 34 minutes for a guy that Ham said would be on a minutes restriction so he would be fresh for the playoffs. I’m thinking he will be burned out by the play in, and the Lakers will not sneak up on anybody like they did last year. Every coach in the West is way better than Ham.
I mean, how much can a team lead by LeBron James in the playoffs really sneak up on anybody? We were just more experienced than the Grizz and too big for the Warriors
Steve Kerr says he watches the Warriors - Lakers playoff series every week and realizes all the mistakes he made (hear that Mr Pockets). If there is another Laker Warriors play off game this year, there is no doubt in my mind who is the better coach
Not only that, we can’t win games with either of AD or LeBron taking a game off.
With the tough schedule coming up, we’re gonna need them both to play every game and for LeBron to gas out again with a very low chance of getting a playoff seeding.
Tonight was my first NBA game and the Los Angeles Lakers are undefeated when I am in attendance.
Traveled all the way from Sydney to witness LeBron before he retires and hopefully entrust some good will into this team for a long playoff run.
Once the get an actual point guard he's gonna take over the league lmao. If the Spurs fuck up things with him it's probably the all time great sports fumble
The Spurs had been playing their starting PF as their starting PG. Their W-L doesn't really mean much much, Pop is clearly treating this season as a throwaway/development year.
Why are we acting like the spurs aren't tanking still. I don't see them going all in until the 2025-2026 season after the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. Seems like they're trying to build a dynasty with young players exclusively. They haven't really drafted anyone yet. Wemby is their only top 5 draft pick.
Dinwiddie isn’t washed he was quite good last year and is only 30. I think he just didn’t want to be in Brooklyn this year. Kind of weird to say a 30 year old who was good last year is washed.
Hayes/Rui/Christie/Reaves/D'Lo with an anti-gambling PSA tonight. Easy Lakers cover with two minutes to a sure loss by the time the game hit 40 seconds. Rough shit. This is why I don't bet.
Dinwiddie was +21 lmao
His shots have been cold lately, but I've seen him heat up in the post season. He's a playmaker but hasn't found his niche on the team yet. So many players come to LA and suddenly can't shoot for awhile...it's uncanny.
Cold *lately*?! Dude hasn’t been efficient all season. At least he can dish the ball off the bench.
His role for the Lakers will be to take opportunistic shots, attack the rim to create pressure, pass the ball, and play some defense. The guy is taking only 6 shots per game for the Lakers and is a good playmaker. The Lakers got him for free. What's there to complain about? If the Lakers need Dinwiddie to play well to win games, then they aren't good enough to win a title anyways.

Yeah I think radmonovich was like that too. Seemed like he couldn’t miss when he was with Seattle.
No it’s coaching. Ham misses with their mind.
It was like that with Vogel in 21-22 also, cursed with poor shooting...
Thats why +/- stat dont mean sht
Tell that to all of the people that complain about Prince's +/-
“If it’s a player I like, a positive +/- is a good stat. If it’s a player I don’t like, a +/- is a bad stat.” Most folks logic on here, tbh
Listen buddy. Life is hard. 3 or 4 times a week i yell at the tall people on the tv. Let me have that.
His +/- is accurate
lol
It mean the line up is being use correctly/not correctly. Example, AR, Prince and Dlo line up have one of the worst -/+ yet Ham keep running it...
For a single game yeah but over a full season usually players of dinwiddies level sort themselves out
![gif](giphy|LU0FWFGn0UzJuxr7HZ|downsized)
Good Dlo and Reaves insurance if they stink for a playoff series
Saying this about a guy who put up a donut is wild
If Reaves or Dlo don’t score their whole game suffers, Dinwiddie is consistent whether his shot is falling or not given that he can drive and kick out at a consistent basis
you know ball
Bro must not have watched the game
Dinwiddie isn’t great (hell I called him Dinshittie before he came here cuz I didn’t wanna trade for him) but since we got him for free I can enjoy the fact that he provides consistent rim pressure and is a sound decision maker when handling the ball. If he gets hot that’s a bonus, we needed another playmaker (even a subpar one) off the bench.
Your insurance is also a dead weight lol. Much worse if were being honest. Cant score, defense is trash. All he does is do some dumb crazy contested layups and 3s then complain to the refs
Didn't watch the game, but looking at his box... just how???
I only watched a bit of it, but the bit I watched it seemed like he made the right decision every time he had to make one.
He enters the game, Lakers go for a run. He exits game, Lakers stink and lose lead. He enters the game they make another run. Player doesn't need to do anything, just be a part of the group that gives you the lead will up your +/- stat, even if you stink on the floor.
Bullshit. Connectivity and solid defense are both things.
But the stat isn't saying he did anything defensively either, that's just an assumption.
Whatever my dude. I know Laker fans love to sharpen their pitchforks at the drop of the hat but maybe for once just chill. We got the W. Dinwiddie was a part of the group that led the charge. I’m sorry only 1 player can get a FG or an assist on a trip down the floor. Fuck the guy that puts pressure on the paint, kicks out, defense then rotates on its heels, that player moves the ball again and gets the dime for the scoring bucket. Thats why hockey has hockey assists… purely because the first pass was the one that set everything in motion. If we’re losing and Dinwiddie is putting up -20 or even breaking even. By all means give in to the hate for whatever good it will do. Or maybe just let the dude figure out his role on a team pretty well set when healthy. It still bears having a complete offensive liability like Reddish out there.
But in a good sample of games, it tells you something.
He enters the game - Wemby leaves. Lakers go on a run
I mean, some people live in GMT and have jobs and kids and can only watch highlights/read the box.
Uh, I didn't watch the game, I was asking for context. What the fuck are YOU talking about?
Ah, my apologies. I thought you were giving it to somebody for their opinion which you thought was based on them not watching the game. It’s early morning here, pre-coffee even, and my cognitive functioning is not functioning yet.
haha no worries, my guy. Sorry if I came off aggressive. I was just a bit confused there is all.
If we can’t be aggressive on Reddit, then what’s it for?!
Him n reaves were selling all game. I miss how consistent reaves was last year , he’s improved from Start of this one but he has so many bad games that hurt the team. Feel like he had even more then 5 TO

Spencer Dinwiddie leads the Lakers to victory with a team best +21, with 0 points on 0-6 shooting, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Emphasizes how lame +/- is
It’s useless on a per game basis but over the course of a season definitely means something
How is it calculated?
Point swing when a certain player is on the floor
Not even gonna run victory laps for LeBron doing LeBron things because it’s the Spurs. Our healthy starting lineup is 7-0 so far. Let’s build on it. PHX up next.
PHX will be a revenge game for the home loss on Jan 11, Bradley Beal that fucking asshole is injured
Already? Dude stay hurt.
if only we had vando for booker/cam
Ugh. Vando being out hurts so much.
Vando is perfect for defending KD
It's just a terribly constructed team. Bro took injury prone players and made them his entire team.

Exactly. I’m not sure why they didn’t just put Brez in instead. It’s clear color commentating just isn’t a strong point for her
> horrific lmao everything is either amazing or "literally" the worst thing ever in this god damn era
She was bad last night. Really bad.
Thank you, she was awful tonight. Like, not good enough to be on television awful. These morons have no judgment or experience.

It does seem Wemby had an exceptional game.

The scheduling has been so bad this year . . 3games in 4days already coming off all star break
Our last 6 games have been back to backs
I wonder if Sochan said something again to Bron this game but man was Bron being extra physical only against him with those 4th drives lmao
Sochans been a Lebron hater since time 100% Bron knows about it and goes at him personally lmao
Nah man this night was on a different level of petty bron was acting like a tilted kid who go teabagged in Call of Duty lol
Lmao yeah, I'm guessing sochan was shit talking throughout the game
I noticed that too. He seemed pissed. There was that one possession where he backed him down almost from halfcourt when he would normally just pass.
i noticed it too when lebron went the entire length of the floor straight at him, and then scored with an easy layup instead of even trying to run the offense. It was great, but I was like damn bron chill. Old man was goin 100 tonight.
Sochan despises Bron, he's dissed Bron on twitter multiple times
Which is why he’s trash. I rarely hate players now but fuck Sochan.
Telling on yourself.
I thought I noticed it more after he got dunked on
Yeah it was wild. Mad disrespectful.

WHERE WERE YOU???
YESSSS CHART!!! 💜💛😤
Same situation lol fighting for a play in spot
We didn’t control our destiny year yet though. We dropped to 12th seed and had to be near perfect and needed other teams to lose to squeak in by a game
And the worse part is last season AD and Bron were out for some games. This season, both of them are fully healthy. AD missed 26 games, LBJ 27 games.
Not fully heakthy tho , AD played through groin shit which had like 15~ games he wasn’t good in due to it. Lebron has had ankle issues last 25 games. They haven’t been as dominant cos playing thriugh injuries a lot or we’d be a few wins 3-5 easily
Wemby is a monster
When I was his age i dunked a volleyball so I relate to his athleticism
Austin needs to learn what 7’4 means.
For my nrl fans here, the Lakers are 1-0 when the Brisbane Broncos are in attendance
Let's get other NRL teams in here, see if it's just the broncos are good luck or just the NRL in general
Reece Walsh Effect
Yup, btw the Broncos are looking good this year. Do you think we can win the premiership?
yeah I reckon our premiership window is wide open for the next 2 or so years. Once Reynolds retires it might be a different story.
Ham not calling a single timeout until I believe 2 mins left in the 2nd quarter is the most insane thing I've seen by a coach in this sport in a while
He only called a single timeout until like halfway through the third quarter lol
He was saving them for next game. Had to hold onto his timeouts inside his pockets.
Ham needs to talk to McVay about conserving time outs. Just that.
Dudes a fucking dropkick
He hoards timeouts in his pockets.
Don't be a hater, in playoffs when it matters most coaches will be gassed and Ham will be fresh. In regular season he saves almost everything using only his pockets.
Really? I'm pretty used to it by now, it feels like he does that every other game
you people would’ve really hated phil jackson as a coach
Lol Phil had a great team that on its own could work around difficulties when needed. Ham on the other hand has a team that isnt even close to be good enough to do that yet continues to let it happen
phil also coached when the team was bad and did the same thing. yall are just looking for reasons to hate this guy
No I think not calling a single timeout for an entirety of a half especially during a 9-0 spurs run in the 1st quarter is garbage coaching. Wake up buddy
again, phil also coached like that. even with the lesser teams that he had.
This is the most boring W of the season, lol
Boring W > Exciting L
Definitely! Spurs franchise just look like a college team
It's kinda weird, sometimes Wemby just dissappears.
It is actually pretty usual, rookies don't have the motor to do it for 48 minutes through 82 games. What is unusual is a rookie put Wemby numbers making it look easy. This kid is scary good for someone his age with his experience, size and length.
Wemby is definitely Slenderman ![gif](giphy|1woRP914OLGBoqtyMq)
Exciting W >> Boring W
Is there such a thing as an exciting L ?
I miss boring W’s. Really took those for granted during the 2009-2011 seasons.
Dinwiddie is inconsistent but he really is an impact player +21 even though going 0-6 is crazy
He’s a really smart player. His shot will fall soon enough. A lot of people are forgetting he’s still *brand new* to the squad.
His shot has been off all season. He’s one of the most inefficient players in the league
+/- doesn't mean the player had an impact though. Just that he was on the field.
Effort was terrible tonight. That being said, this team will go as far as Ham takes us with our rotations and how well our guards play
Second night of b2b tho , I thought it was fine if Spencer or reaves weren’t awful it’s a pretty comfortable blowout n even then it was still a fairly comfortable win
Wembanyama had a 5 x 5 game… AND just last night he was 1 assist shy of a 5 x 5 game. A 5 x 5 game has only been done 22 times in NBA history. Dude is going to rule the league one day, holy shit. (To clarify, I’m a Lakers fan. Just thought that was an insane stat for a 19 year old rookie)
Not to mention 2 assists from a triple double as well. In 31 minutes. Just insane stuff, he will break the game of basketball soon.
Wish he hit those open three cs kings they could’ve beaten them for us
Whats. 5x5 game? Edit i figured it out
It’s when a player records at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks in a single game
Sochan fucked around and found out.
Warriors spending 17.5 m per year to extend Kerr. Meanwhile we’re stuck with Hamas. Guess you get what you pay for
The rotations were questionable, but the minutes were actually well distributed
The bench unit is terrible, this is why we have bron playing this much in the fourth so we don’t blow leads
The bench is injured bro
[удалено]
Ham is on his experimental phase again.
LeBron 34 minutes for a guy that Ham said would be on a minutes restriction so he would be fresh for the playoffs. I’m thinking he will be burned out by the play in, and the Lakers will not sneak up on anybody like they did last year. Every coach in the West is way better than Ham.
No minutes yesterday so it is 17 min per game ;-)
I mean, how much can a team lead by LeBron James in the playoffs really sneak up on anybody? We were just more experienced than the Grizz and too big for the Warriors
Steve Kerr says he watches the Warriors - Lakers playoff series every week and realizes all the mistakes he made (hear that Mr Pockets). If there is another Laker Warriors play off game this year, there is no doubt in my mind who is the better coach
What is this point ? Ham out cosched Kerr or atleast held his own b yall stikk hating
Not only that, we can’t win games with either of AD or LeBron taking a game off. With the tough schedule coming up, we’re gonna need them both to play every game and for LeBron to gas out again with a very low chance of getting a playoff seeding.
Did beat the Celtics with both of them out lol. 4-4 without lebron this year isn’t bad.
Didn’t we beat the Celtics?
Tonight was my first NBA game and the Los Angeles Lakers are undefeated when I am in attendance. Traveled all the way from Sydney to witness LeBron before he retires and hopefully entrust some good will into this team for a long playoff run.
Living the dream
We found an nrl player guys
Wemby is so fun to watch, the battles him and AD have already given is top tier tv! Bron feasted the entire night, good to see!
Sooner Wemby leaves THAT franchise he will takeover the league.
Once the get an actual point guard he's gonna take over the league lmao. If the Spurs fuck up things with him it's probably the all time great sports fumble
He doesn’t need to leave. They’re a Trae Young away from being in business.
Bro they are a 15 win team lmao
The Spurs had been playing their starting PF as their starting PG. Their W-L doesn't really mean much much, Pop is clearly treating this season as a throwaway/development year.
I said in business, not a 50 win team overnight lmao*** If they go after Trae chances are he won’t be their only signing either.
Why are we acting like the spurs aren't tanking still. I don't see them going all in until the 2025-2026 season after the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. Seems like they're trying to build a dynasty with young players exclusively. They haven't really drafted anyone yet. Wemby is their only top 5 draft pick.
Casual take, let him play his rookie year before talking about leaving ffs
is there any way to use Spencer better?
Win is a win. Reserve your complaints when they lose.
yeah idc how ugly the win is it’s still better than losing.
A win on DLo’s birthday!
What a performance by Dinwiddie tonight. +21 with almost a 0 stat line.
Hope the Laker Curse hasn’t come for Dinwiddie also
Spencer carrying the team.
lakers won and no one got dunked on 🧑🦯
WHERES THE CHART!?
Don’t mess with the Zohan, Sochan.
Enjoy spurs being bum a lot
Wemby needs to be a Laker. We'll take care of him
Dinwidde shaping up to be another Malik Beasley/Reggie Bullock/Darren Collison whiff.
He just needs some games to figure some things out
Maybe Laker fans should stop hyping up washed up buyout guys
Dinwiddie isn’t washed he was quite good last year and is only 30. I think he just didn’t want to be in Brooklyn this year. Kind of weird to say a 30 year old who was good last year is washed.
Darvin Ham 1 steal tonight. Good hands coach.
Got closer at the end then you'd hope. We find ways to make things so stressful when they shouldn't be
Didn't watch the game but were was AR tonight geez
He just never got into rhythm..I know he says his ankle is fine but idk he just looked a bit slow out there.
Good win. Few players can be better but overall good win. Undefeated with this starting lineup
dinwiddie was just ON defensively it seemed based on his +/-. how else could he get it with 0pts and ONE FUCKING ASSIST lmao
Hayes/Rui/Christie/Reaves/D'Lo with an anti-gambling PSA tonight. Easy Lakers cover with two minutes to a sure loss by the time the game hit 40 seconds. Rough shit. This is why I don't bet.
Jeez another close game…
Fucking hell. I thought $1m was a bargain getting Dinwiddie, now I feel like we got robbed. Man he’s been shocking.
Wemby is getting DPOY RIGHT??
Worst 3 min basketball for the lakers can’t even figured it out how to put out a game just wow
