I like his job on the bench. I hope he mentor Metta and Fish and teach them how to keep their a.. on the bench.

Am I crazy if I said I'd be happier if Brown played Luke rather than Ron?......... :man3:

I'll probably have a change of heart once Luke gets on the floor for a minute or so....

6-8-3 with 5 off boards... nice job fLuke. I'll still be nervous every time you're on the court though. Not bad defensively either.

Now if this was the kind of play we could get from him every night, minus the horrendous looking shots, it wouldn't be the end of the world. McBobs, Murphy and Kapono need to get back ASAP. But it was the Suns and this could possibly be Walton's best game this season.

Big ups to him though. :jam2:

Walton had 8 rebounds 5 offensive, 6 points, 3 assists according to Brown. What is unnoticed is how he tracked down Frye who was losing the slower rotating Gasol out on the perimeter. Walton was able to close out on the Sun PF who was NEVER an off the dribble shooter anyway. He still made me cringe when he shot the ball but at least he did not force them and only when he was open. Well, even then Walton still made me twitchy when he took them [grin].
Nor can the Lakers get blamed for always making the right decisions over decades. At some point its not just luck or "gamble", its superior management and superior ownership.

hahahaha he has been due for a good game for like 4 years now.
Every time I begin to ask, "Is he really as great as I think he is?" ...He proves that he is.
Every time I begin to wonder...He proves it...That is why I won't lose hope in him.
You know who I am talking about.
