Luka Doncic with a massive putback dunk of a missed Spencer Dinwiddie 3 is not something I expected a month ago – 10:37 PM

Luka Doncic just took a hard fall on his back under the rim, and Boban came out to help him up, even with play still going on the other end.
Get you a friend like that. – 10:35 PM

Great way to cap a special visit with my @csuf fam: Detour to The Crypt to catch Luka and the Mavs against the Lakers, some LeBron at the 5 and a mint arena soundtrack courtesy of Lawrence Tanter’s voice and a vintage organ playlist.

Covering the 3 Js in the ’90s, hard to fathom a day when one would be coaching the Mavs vs. Lakers, another would be broadcasting the game. The other J, Mashburn, is a very successful entrepreneur. – 10:29 PM

Warriors get crushed in Minnesota. Thinned out frontline gives up 39 points to Karl-Anthony Towns. GSW now 2-6 in last eight games, falling closer to the #4 seed than the #1 seed. Klay Thompson expected to return Thursday in Dallas, but no Draymond Green for tough stretch ahead. – 10:28 PM

Malik Monk hit his first 3 since the All-Star break, and followed up with a lefty layup, as LAL took an 18-13 early in the 1st Q.
Dallas responded with a corner 3 from Bullock after Luka blocked Westbrook’s attempt at the rim to cut the margin to 2 at the 5:57 mark. – 10:27 PM

One interpretation of this lineup tonight — with Stanley, Austin and Malik around LeBron and Russ — is a full buy-in to the youth. Talking about Wenyen Gabriel tonight, Vogel added: “The successful stints this year have been with Bron, Russ, AD and the younger, energetic guys.” – 10:22 PM

Gonna be interesting to see how the Mavericks come out tonight against the Lakers after the massive comeback they staged at Golden State Sunday. Finishing this trip 2-1 would be a terrific way to start the stretch run. Only 20 games left after tonight. – 10:13 PM

Back to a small lineup with LeBron at center tonight for LAL:

It’s the 30th different starting lineup of the season for this injury-plagued group. Johnson is the only Laker with a winning record as a starter (8-6). – 9:41 PM

Frank Vogel said that many of L.A.’s successful stints this season have come with LeBron, Russ AD and the “younger, energetic guys.”
Obviously Davis remains out for now, but that could factor into giving a guy like 24-year-old, 6’9’’ Wenyen Gabriel a look with certain groups. – 8:32 PM

Frank Vogel says that even though Wenyen Gabriel is on a two-way contract, he expects him to spend the majority of his time with the Lakers and will get playing time. D.J. Augustin, who he previously coached in Orlando, will arrive in LA late tonight and will also get minutes – 8:30 PM

Frank Vogel said the expectation is that Wenyen Gabriel will be with the Lakers full time and is unlikely to play much with South Bay. Vogel added Gabriel has a chance to earn rotation minutes and fits into the mold of LA’s most successful lineups (youth, energy, athleticism). – 8:28 PM

Frank Vogel mentioned specific skills that new acquisitions Augustin and Gabriel bring to the Lakers, but said they can’t rely on guys coming into the team to change the energy. That has to come from within, especially after the blowout loss to New Orleans. – 8:23 PM

According to Frank Vogel, in addition to the skillsets needed from D.J. Augustin, DeAndre Jordan actually thought he could get more playing time on a different team, so he wanted to be released. AK – 8:20 PM
