He’s pretty much unplayable shooting at that clip. He doesn’t bring much else at the moment.

This is whats so disappointing. I get he was injured but a lot of this is mental on Trey. In the offseason there were hopes by fans that he would be a versatile defensive threat. Now at times, his defense is as bad as Zion’s. There was also talk about growth in his between game and playmaking as well- all that has disappeared along with his shot. Again I get this was his first major injury, but for him to have this many issues becoming a generally all around good player is highly concerning especially considering he has the IQ and talent to get it done. During all star break- he really needs to get his head right and focus on fundamentals. The hope is he finishes the season strong but it looks pretty bad right now.

Laker loss is not a big deal on the record

Definitely not

Before these 2 games, I'm sure no one would realistically predict we'd win both. A split was expected


Not too worried about the result but the 2 biggest process concerns for me were:

- Zion defense - Don't need to elaborate on that lol

- Willie rotation - Specific to no Hawkins. It was evident by the 2nd quarter that we were going to need to outscore them. Dyson loses a ton of value when the opponent sets their franchise record for points in a half. And thus, it was obvious imo that we were going to win by outscoring them, so Hawk shoulda got more run in place of Dyson.
