Purrtl soft again
Davis gets his 1st foul in 15 seconds of the game
Purrtl soft again
Lakers miss a shot!
LakerRef begins again. Lakers slow start? Here's 4 straight FTs
Man Davis is such a weak cuck with no integrity.
That LeBron level of weakness and taking the easy way out
Two little es
Refs already at it...
They're not even guarding Keldon past the key
Poeltl has his flaws but the lakers are running up his back every time a shot is missed and the refs just pretend like its not happening...
If we did that to AD Lakers would be in the penalty inside of a minute
Patty being abused tonight
White, fresh on his new contract
I wonder if timvp still sees Keldon's ceiling as 2006 Michael Finley.
Keldon Johnson
School: Kentucky
Position: SG/SF
Age: 19
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 216.4
Wingspan: 6-foot-9.25
Draft Range: 15 to 30
Combine Results? Yes
Why: Plays hard, plays smart, doesn't make many mistakes. A solid to good athlete in all facets with good length and a frame that could add more muscle. Was unusually dedicated for a freshman to playing stingy D. Gave good effort on the boards and in transition defense. With work and added strength, could defend 1s, 2s and 3s down the line. On offense, has a quick enough first step and enough explosion to finish at the rim. Shot the three well: 38.1% on 6.2 attempts per 100 possessions.
Why Not: Nothing about him stands out as extraordinary. While he has a high floor due to his complete game, his ceiling isn't especially exciting. Not a playmaker or ball-handler; will need others to set him up. Soft in the paint as a freshman. Tried hard on defense but rarely made things happen and it's questionable whether he has the quickness to ever be notably above average on that end. Shooting-wise, both his two-point percentage (49.8%) and free throw percentage (70.3%) were underwhelming.
Spurs Fit: Needs a year in Austin to work on his perimeter skills on offense and his fundamentals on defense. His most natural position is probably at two but the Spurs could try to bulk him up into a three.

Rewarding an obvious flop from LBJ
Lakers are the one team I thought Pop would go big against but so far he hasn't even though they are going to play Davis, Gasol, and Lebron together alot
Murray is getting better and better.
Welcome back Derrick!
Starts the season with a turnover
Spurs playing very well
The size disadvantage the Spurs have is obvious, but...
The speed disadvantage the Lakers have against small ball is obvious, too.
This is what people ignore. You live and die with your strengths and weaknesses.
This team has fight.
I'm enjoying watching them.
White warming up that 3 point stroke, gotta learn to chuck a lot of them for his new deal!
no bull shots going in so far for the Lakers
White looks good on both ends so far (outside that turnover).
White is such a difference maker on defense
Lakers are missing the 3's they were making nonstop last game, and they've made a couple of boneheaded mistakes that show they're not mentally focused on this game. This is what will make this game more winnable than the last.
Still looks like White needs to get his feet under him, but that 3 and his heady strip of Lebron was very encouraging.
Liking what I'm seeing.
