Dennis Schröder, perhaps the one Lakers capable of bringing his usage way up in the absence of LeBron, AD and Westbrook, is on fire.
He’s up to 30 points on 12 of 18 FG’s, including 2 of 2 from 3 and 4 of 4 from the FT line. He’s 6 of 7 in the paint and 6 of 11 on jumpers. – 10:45 PM

One of the Lakers’ core issues over the last year and a half is that LeBron James and Russell Westbrook can’t share the floor for long stretches at a time. In the Weekly Reset, the thing I’ll be watching over the next few weeks is their rapport: ocregister.com/2022/12/19/%f0… – 3:56 PM

Lakers coach Darvin Ham said team’s competitiveness partly stems from LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Pat Beverley encouraging younger teammates to play through mistakes. – 1:30 AM

More on this storyline
L.A. has coveted DeMar DeRozan, one of the players it chose to pass on over Russell Westbrook in 2021. If the Bulls were willing to move Nikola Vučević with DeRozan, the Lakers would have a starting-level, former All-Star center who could hold down the middle in Davis’ absence. -via Bleacher Report / December 19, 2022
The first Laker in franchise history with multiple triple-doubles off the bench -via Twitter @Lakers / December 17, 2022
Kendrick Perkins: This has to be the most COMPLETE game that Russ has played in a Lakers uniform tonight. The Brodie is putting on a damn Clinic on both ends of the floor!!! Carry the hell on.., -via Twitter @KendrickPerkins / December 17, 2022
