The Los Angeles Lakers had better not take away Montrezl Harrell’s minutes 

Ever since Marc Gasol was put in NBA’s Health and Safety protocol, Montrezl Harrell has been on a mission to destroy opposing teams’ front line scoring nearly at will. (Checking notes…Okay if Trezl gets on the floor, he gets buckets… Yep!)

The Golden State Warriors got manhandled by Montrezl Harrell all game long. Film don’t lie folks, just look at the damage done in the first half alone knocking down his first seven shots.

By the end of the third quarter, Trezl had 25 points on 10-12 shooting. The only shot his missed was a desperate 3 point shot at the end of the third quarter. Harrell finished with 27 points (11-14 shooting!), 5 rebounds and 3 steals in 25 minutes. Trezl intimidated Golden State and they did not respond at all.

The only thing Harrell has to clean up is controlling his emotions. He got yet another technical foul gesturing at the official. Lake Show Life has warned everyone about this all season long. If this keeps up, his reputation of upstaging the referees will be an issue in the playoffs.

Marc Gasol will be out for at least two more games. When he is eligible to return, Frank Vogel will look for minutes for him to play. Montrezl Harrell’s minutes should not be an option for the coaching staff to look at.

While Harrell led the Lakers charge from the bench, it allowed LeBron James to play much like he wanted when Anthony Davis became a Laker. Read on to see how he did!
