The Lakers are going to shift some things when LeBron James comes back (which could be Friday). But it seems like a strong case that Talen Horton-Tucker is now a starter even when that happens: ocregister.com/2021/11/17/lak… – 12:07 AM

Talen Horton-Tucker talks again about his hand surgery, saying he lost most of the feeling in his right hand for a few days after the procedure. It got jammed again tonight, but he’s worked hard over the last few weeks in therapy and on the court to get all the articulation back. – 11:02 PM

Vogel said that THT has been “terrific” on both sides of the court, and said he’s definitely made a case to start even when LeBron returns. Sometimes scoring/playmaking off the bench is a priority, but he’s been more than good enough to earn a starting spot. – 10:25 PM

Davis lamented some “timely shots” that the Lakers missed tonight that would have kept or swung momentum. They finished just 12 of 43 (27.9%) from 3, with some of their best shooters having off nights.
Monk and Ellington were both 1 for 7, and Melo was 2 for 8. – 10:18 PM

I’m not gonna lie, I’ve basically already traded Kendrick Nunn for a forward in my mind.
If THT is THIS good, or even close to it, there’s just no way the Lakers need a fourth ball-handler more than they need another big wing defender. – 10:11 PM

AD, on the small lineup, said it’s helping them on offense, helps Russ to have the space, but they’re getting hurt on the glass when he’s switching screen/roll out to the perimeter.
That said: “It’ll look better when we have our bigger (wings) back, LeBron, Trevor.” – 10:10 PM

DeAndre, Rondo, Bazemore and Bradley are playing themselves out of the rotation when the Lakers are healthy.
THT has earned a role. So has Melo. Dwight has to play the non-AD center mins.

Talen Horton-Tucker is shooting 40% on 6.7 3’s per game thus far (8-of-20).
It’s a tiny sample, but if it comes close to sustaining, a lot of the Lakers’ problems are solved. He’s shooting with so much confidence, and it’s only going to amplify what he can do off the dribble. – 9:59 PM

Want to know how meaningless accolades can be in determining value?
You’re constructing a team, would you prefer a triple-double king with an MVP running the show or Jrue Holiday?
One gets you lots of headlines and ticket sales ….the other you can win a championship with😎 – 9:45 PM

LAL started 3 for 5 from 3 in Milwaukee to help them open a 13-8 lead. Their third turnover, however, led to a bucket inside from the Bucks, who can cut it to 2 with an and-1 FT out of the first time out. – 7:52 PM

I’m not expecting nearly as many doubles on AD from the Bucks tonight as we’ve seen from the Bulls and Spurs over the past two games, but I also think they’re gonna be pretty ambivalent about closing out on the non-Melo shooters early on. – 7:42 PM

Vogel said they’ll remain with the smaller lineup tonight, based mostly on creating space for Westbrook and AD offensively, while acknowledging that their bigger lineups have had more defensive success this season. Small lineup will get a big boost when LeBron returns. – 6:10 PM

The Bucks, like LAL, have been dealing with all kinds of injury absences and resulting rotating lineups, the biggest reason the defending champs are 6-8. Yet, they’re closer to whole tonight.
