I like his defensive effort so far this year. Probably has been the best part of his game.
He needs to start hitting threes.
I think Luke sits him for too long of periods
He usually sits with 3 min in the 1st/3rd and doesn’t return until half way through the 2nd and 4th.
Also he started off shooting well but didn’t shoot again till the 3rd.
I get the offense and he won’t be given many iso opportunities, but there are way too many times where rondo is over dribbling or we are force feeding freakin Javale.
I think maybe not getting so many touches could also have led to his anger.
Who knows. He has a lot of growing up to do. Good lesson tonight for him.
Looks to me like Ingram whiffed on his punch, but bellying up to the ref prior to that is not a good look in combination with throwing the punch. League may come down on him more because of that. But that series of events is likely going to cost him.
This early in the season none the less. Now we test our depth. Kuz, you’re up. BI, love the aggression. Did absolutely nothing wrong in the situation. One thing however, teams will try to play on the perceived short temper, Luke needs to approach BI from that perspective. Be cognizant of the mind games players use to keep you off the court. Lesson that can only be learned in a real situation. Thankfully it’s at the beginning of the season and not in the playoffs. No JR Smith’s on this team, boys. Be smarter. _________________ DEAR BASKETBALL
loving the no taking (bleep) from BI in the game, looked to me that he took an elbow from harden and wasn't happy with it. _________________ 11/9/12 the day the brown was flushed down!!!!!!

Probably between 5 and 10. Doesn't have history so it could help...
Props for sticking up with his teammates. He has a dog in him . Disappointed though that he let his emotions got the best of him with Harden. Next time he need to do his own oayback elbowing that flopper when no refs is looking.

Yup, that would be a smarter way to send a message to the flopper. BI will learn from this. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

When Lance becomes the voice of reasoning you know you done messed up!
I see BI coming back strong 💪 after his suspension!!!

yeah, hopefully so. getting your opponent tossed is a win; we lost 2 starters
they lost 1. and Harden is not going to stop baiting players, it's his thing. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !

Anyone get the feeling that he's just been itching for a fight for 2 years now, saw an opening last night, and just went for it? I don't like what he did after the initial push because that was just him being emotional/childish and not thinking about what it's gonna cost the team, but I don't mind the push one bit. As annoying as it is to watch Harden play for us, it must me 100x that when you're actually playing against that (bleep). Second Laker to take a shot at him in the last 7 years
You know what? I'm okay with it, but just this once. BI has a reputation for being quiet, calm, cool, although we've seen instances where he's been angry (that scuffle against the Bucks a few years ago is one example). This could very well be the impetus for playing up to his potential. He has fight in him that could help him reach greater heights. He just has to channel it in such a way. Kobe was great at doing this, although everyone remembers his physical altercations with Chris Childs and Reggie Miller early in his career. BI will evolve. I believe in him.

He just needs to learn how to channel his anger and aggression in a smarter way. He'll learn. The Mamba was a master at this. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

I've never had any concern about his mentality. He's a tough kid and he had the respect of his teammates and the Lakers' organization well before last night. My concerns with him have always been entirely skills related. He's gonna need to learn how to shoot if he wants to get volume alongside LeBron James.
