Lakers looking decent for once. I'm okay with it as they're on track to finally win me 100.00 in my yearly bet with Splits. All the bastards need to do is go 5-10 from here on out. They'll probably fuck up.

I legit was getting mad at Zo for jacking up 3s when he clearly wasn't making em. That being said, he still played D, rebounded and passed well. As Luke noted, he was still a game high +18 which is amazing considering Ju and Kuz had 26/13 and IT had 23.

This is why I'm patient with this kid. His shot will never be like Chef and I'm good with that. He just needs to be respectable. That will come with time and experience. For you bloody farmers who hate on him, this is chess, not checkers.

[lebomb]

That +/- thing is so stupid. Basically it just says your team was +18pts better with you on the floor. Hell, Lonzo could just stand there and do nothing and get a + something if his other team mates are making shots. I never thought the +/- thing was worth a damn. Lebron said he doesnt give a shit about +/-. He cares about the win.

7 consecutive Finals...in the East. Like I said, if he played in the West his whole career, he likely makes 1 or 2 at best. Lakers, Spurs, Suns, or the Queens would stomp mud holes in his ass! They'd take turns running a train on his sphincter. Choooo-choooooo! :lmao

We are a top 3 team in pace. When Lonzo rebounds, it helps us get out and run right away. This leads to a ton of fastbreaks and us being no worst than top 2 in paint points.

His ability to rebound is significant, actually.

He stealing money from Billionnaire Balmer. Having the Logo as a consultant ain't shit due to this new CBA. BB is just as limited with spending as the Lakers are.

:lol

The new CBA neutered the Lakers, thus rendering Logo null and void. That's why we let his protege Mitch Kupcake go too. Otherwise, losing Logo is a death blow to the Lakers. The new CBA made us build thru the draft (lotto 4 years in a row). Now we actually have young talent and cap space to build around them...like the Dubs did.

Logo joined the Dubs last year. The only thing he prolly solidified was KD signing (maybe - because Donkey been recruiting him all year). Logo idn't draft Steph, Klay or Donkey.

Rob Pelinka is a former agent. You think he doesn't know how the new CBA works? Remember, he's the one who got Kobe $48M.

[Clipper Nation]

Logo did not join the Dubs last year. He joined after Cohan sold the team to Lacob. Trading for Bogut, drafting Klay, refusing to trade Klay for Love - those were all Jerry West moves.

The Suns also hired a former agent as their GM once... how'd that work out for them?

Yeah no shit sherlock, they're rookies after all. What lakerfan dont seem to get is that the difference is all of those dudes combined dont get nearly the hype this bust undeservedly gets tbh. But then again its lakerfan we are talking about here so its not like I was expecting them to :lol

[lebomb]

Here and on Lakersground (except for a few), they act like he is the second coming. They take small stat lines like 3 steals and 8 rebounds and swear this niggas James Harden. He cant shoot, nor hit free throws. How in tha hell is that gonna work as a PG. Especially in todays NBA.

DLO got crucified, and personally I dont think Lonzo is any better at all. Hell, at least DLO can shoot for goodness sake.

The other difference is that Tatum, DSJ and Mitchell are all good, unlike Lonzo Bust.

"Tiredness" from back-to-backs is massively overstated, and the stats show that performance doesn't drop off on the second night. Lakers have been looking good and should've beaten a GS missing 3 of their best players. Longo couldn't outplay Q. Cook (who?).

[midnightpulp]

Last 5 games:

9.8 PPG on .308 shooting.

To throw Longo a bone (which I'm sure he'd bury), he has looked good defensively. Will Longo be a bust per his hype? Yes. Could Longo be a fine role player in the right system? Sure. Good length, good passer, good defensively. Think Jason Kidd on the 2011 Mavs. Franchise changer he is not. Neither is Julian, whom Lakers fans are having a semen tsunami over. He's definitely exceeded my expectations, but he's a one dimensional score-first player in the vein of Amare. I don't see Julian ever having a superstar impact per the stats that really matter (advanced ones. I have my issues with RPM, but it's the still the best, and his number sits at a relatively low 1.35). If I'm a Lakers fan, I bank on Ingram to become the "guy." But even if he does, they're still going to need a volume shooting PG who can hit the 3.

Fair take. I've been a fan of Ingram since I was stationed in NC while Ingram was at Duke. He needs to gain about 20lbs and a be a more consistent 3pt shooter to take the next step. He has a standing reach of 9'2" which helps him defensively. He's finishing better at the rim with contact and I like his budding midrange game. Once he grows into his body he's gonna be a problem.

bullshit numbers show a 3rd game in 4 nights on the road is almost certainly a loss, especially to teams that have a significant HCA like the warriors. Are yiu not familliar with the term scheduled loss? Lakers played Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday with Wednesday on the road without Ingram, Hart and Kuzma thats 3 of their 5 best players including their two best scorers on the year ...

Your correct on that front. Was this 3rd in 4 for the Lakers (I'm unsure)? But it's already been definitively proven that on the 2nd night, performance doesn't drop off. Also, what kills players in the 3rd night situation is not fatigue from on-court play, but travel.

yeah travel is tough but tbh a flight from cali to oak is not soo bad. problem was Randle played 39 and Lonzo 41 mins more than just it being a back to back. POP rests his guys in those situations and has been for the past 4-5 years ...

As if the Warriors needed any more of an edge in this game -- on national television (ESPN), no less. Poor Lakers. You'll be playing your fifth game in eight days, your third game in four days and the second of a back-to-back set here. So after hosting the Nuggets on March 13, you'll head up to the Bay immediately after and face the defending champions the next night. The Warriors will enter this game with a two-day rest advantage, not that they'll need it.

Update : Lakers lose 106-117
extracted from an espn article that uses a formula to determine schedule lossess they have been correct over 72% this season and 68% the past 10 or so ...

God dammit Lonzo. You just had to shoot your usual 2-15 when a win would've helped the Spurs. But you'll make 10 threes against the Spurs. Fuck you.

[midnightpulp]

Luke just needs to have lonzo be a blue collar player. Play hard d, do some playmaking, and only take high percentage shots. Those 12 three point attempts should've went to other players who can actually shoot.

Ever heard of "position less" basketball? The Dubs employ it. That's a major reason why Dr. Dray and Iggy are just as good as Chef at playmaking for the Dubs. Luke, part of Kerr's staff, brought that concept to LA.

All that being said, Hart is a tough nosed defender, who's 3ball is coming around, who also rebounds well for a combo guard. He provided a jolt to our team as a starter. However, he did not facilitate the offense. That fell on Brandon.

Unlike years past, I've seen a ton of Laker games this year. Your post claiming Hart "replaced" Zo is either misinterpreted by you and a few other farmers, or you're trolling. Your post history suggests the latter. Do better son.

He gotta hit that weight room this summer. Like Ingram last year, he's too light in the ass. Blake was tryna punk him (which was pissing me off).

I thought he controlled the game in stretches. Gotta learn how to finish teams off. He'll learn.

TS%: Lonzo .443, Kidd .471

Rookie Kidd scored more, more efficiently, than Lonzo Bust. He also wasn't a net-negative player on offense like Lonzo Bust. I don't see the similarities either, tbh.

[LkrFan]

He is fast, but he is a poor finisher. I've seen many times where he could have taken his man to the hole, yet he passed it out to an open 3pt shooter (who missed :lol).

He has no post game. That'll need to be developed after he bulks up and gets stronger.

Kidd was also a year older with 2 years at Cal under his belt. Yet his rookie numbers are eerily similar to a 1 and done Lonzo, who's probably 60% the player he will become.

people also ignoring the brutal difference in ft shooting and the fact that there is no evidence to suggest Ball will be the type that trains a lot. I mean he already has a kid coming in and isn't yet mature enough to be called a teen ager..

You act like rookie J Kidd (a year older as a rookie, 1 more year of college) stats blew Lonzo's away. :lol I didn't say he was better than the co-ROY. To dismiss how similar they are and ignoring Lonzo's impact (leads all rookies in assists and steals, leads all PGs in blocks, 3rd best rebounding guard behind Simmons and Chuckbrook, and is a solid defender) is trolling. It's cool because you've trolled a 1st ballot HOFer too. So I guess Lonzo is in good company. :lol

Kinda depressing to know if he only could make shots he'd be a legit star. But then again Tim Tebow was nearly the entire package minus the part he couldn't make a fucking pass to save his life (Except that time against the Steelers in OT)

[LkrFan]

I shake my head at a lot of you farmers clowning Zo because of his shot. Anybody watch Rondo take a wet shit on Dame - two games in a row? Rondo "can't shoot" but Dame can, and he's the all star. Yet the favored Guests are down 2-0.

Like Rondo, Zo plays defense. I'd argue Zo's defense as a rookie is better than Rondo's when he was a rookie. It will improve once he gets stronger (he's rail thin right now).

All the Lakers need to do is make him a 4th/5th option. Hell, that was Rondo when them Celtic bums beat my Lakers in 2008. Nobody talked about his shot. He just got the ball to his shooters in scoring position, played D, and opportunistically scored.

Yes, Zo needs to improve his shot, but as I've been saying all along, he does everything else.

Zo has some big holes in his game. They're all fixable with added weight, strength, experience and hard work. His work ethic tells me that he will improve on his weaknesses by working his ass off every summer. No doubt in my mind he was the right pick for this team running the Dubs offense.

So wait, Rondo is effective when he had three HoFers around him, and absolute dog shit when his team was horrible (see Kings) because he can't shoot, and yet you are happy that the Lakers drafted a poor man's Rondo at #2 when the roster is horrible, when there were franchise player types that can carry a team's offense later in the draft?

First off, our roster is not horrible. We beat several playoff teams this year - including your Spurs twice. We had a 9 game losing streak and didn't start Randle (as Luke was building up Nance Jr. trade value - which worked). We've had several "winnable games" that didn't pan out due to injuries to key players and inexperience. Yet we still won 35 games. Matter of fact, I am okay with watching the kids grow and won't bat an eye if we miss out on max players this summer.

However, we have positioned ourselves to duplicate 2008 Celtics. We got to room for 2 max players to add to our 35 win team. For example, if we get PG13 and LBJ (as rumored), they are worth another 20 wins by themselves. And the hottest rumor is KL to LA. Pop loves Kuz. A package of our young players centered around Kuz, draft picks and cash should do it. This would be similar to the Pau trade - disgruntled star wanting out. The public knows about it so the Spurs doesn't get full value.

Imagine PG13, LBJ, and KL teaming up with Zo running the show. I could. ;)

I am not sure if I follow your logic. You appear to claim that the Lakers are not horrible, because they are actually better than their 35 game record indicates, as supported by how they lost a few games that they "shouldn't" have, but then you cited some games for which they won but were not expected to. My interpretation is that they cancel each other out, so they are a 35-win team, or roughly so, which is a horrible team.

Ingram is a stud, I give you that, but he is best with the ball in his hands, so having Lonzo is pretty much pointless. Randle is a homeless man's Zach Randolph with Kevin Willis arms, I love his hustle, I love his team first attitude, but he is a bad basketball player getting lots of burn because of how bad the team really is. He is, at best, an 8th or 9th man counted on to hustle and set screens, not a 3rd option on any team, whether they have championship aspirations or not.

Other than that, they are a bad team.

Then you go into hyperboles about all these mega-stars signing with the Lakers. Have you heard of counting chickens before they hatch? You think Lonzo will be useful with PG13, LBJ, and/or Kawhi? What is he supposed to do? Be the 3 and D buy without the 3? Lonzo is best used as a floor general for the 2nd unit of a team. Him and Randle actually work well together if they are surrounded by shooters, but then no team can afford that set up as a 2nd unit, but they are not good enough to be a decent 1st unit.

Not only that you used a #2 pick on him.

I am not saying he can't be a productive player one day, but a 2nd pick? A saviour for once proud franchise? I don't believe so.

Like what? Like how you are counting on the Lakers getting Kawhi and Lebron? PG13 is a possibility, but I am not sure how the two would mesh.

And Randle is a great hustle guy, but he is like an 8th option. I am not sure how you can't see that.

People say Lonzo would fit in the old game, he won't. Kidd was way more athletic than him at a younger age, and trilobite Kidd was way smarter and had a much better outside shot. Lonzo is simply a homeless man's Rondo with none of that attitude. Not saying he's a bust, but he is not the Lakers needed, especially with the keys being in Ingram's hands.

Laker fans need to chill ...we have been a shitshow...so nothing is promised. We had a big first step this year but got a long way to go. I hope other teams look at Randle the same way Amb does because maybe we can retaon him at fair valuexto both sides. Randle is not only a bully vs small ball centers but played 82 games and wore teams down at times. I just wouldnt overpay.
Last year many called Ingram a bust, now he is a "stud".
Lakerhaters need to chill yooo. waasy To early to say what Lonzo will be yet...look how long it took for Jrue to fully develop? And Kuzma is legit and so is josh hart. We got a strong core we just lack a superstar.. we need to get one this year or next to lead this core if we want to make playoff noise.

But if we dont for once in a long while ...im excited about our team and it's future even if FA pipedreams go unfulfilled

you guys keep talking like you are building a team.. but that is not the case imo, this is the year the past project is done.

SMFH for realz. And here we go again:

I defend Zo around these parts but ^ THIS ^ is why I didn't want Maginka to draft him. Will LaVar just STFU and go away? And when will Zo grow a pair and tell him to pipe down? :bang

[Clipper Nation]

That's future Lakers head coach, GM and trainer LaVar Ball to you, Guillermo. :downspin:

LBJ: I could give a John Clawd Van Damn about midnightpulp's thread. I'll help you get to the next level next year. Don't listen to them farmers on ST

:lol

I was the first to say free agents would want to play with this kid. ME

Neal with it hatas :toast

[lebomb]

Ok, I will caption it.

Lebron: Dont you eva, eva, eva shoot it nigga!! Just pass me the Ball............Ball.

[LkrFan]

:lol last two #2 picks looking like trash

That's funny. The BEST player in the world decided he would not only leave $50M on the table in Cleveland, he chose to play with a bust. Funny how I told you classholes that free agents will want to play with him. But nooooooooo - he can't shoot, he's a retarded Jason Kidd, blah blah blah. What's your excuse now that the Kang signed with the Lakers? :downspin: that shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit if you have to son. :lol

[LkrFan]

Longo Bell :lmao

Longo gonna be serving up a ton of and-1s to the Kang. LBJ NEVER played with a pass 1st PG like him. He won't have to work so hard on offense and be dog tired at the end of games like in The Land. :)

[LkrFan]

Ouch. Skunked tonight.

He's undefeated in getting the best player in the world to come play with him tho. Most busts can't do that. ;)

[LkrFan]

They have to sell that snake oil to Lakers fans because NBA profit sharing means every team in the league needs the Lakers to sell out games.

Staples Center will be a tough ticket the next 4 years tbh. I'm sure the Kang and Lonzo will cause even San Antonio to raise their frontcourt seats to a whopping $6 when they come to town :lol

[LkrFan]

Shit's hilarious thinking Lavar may blow up Magic's rebuilding plan. If I'm LeBron, if I'm Paul George I don't want to deal with that circus sideshow crap either.

:rollin :lmao :rollin

revenue sharing of luxury tax teams, dunno if the spurs are under the threshold to receive such payments...

but whats the total of luxury tax to be shared this season?

That's a great question. I have no idea, but for the 1st time in 5 years, the NBA will receive foodstamps from the Lakers. You're welcome :lol

[LkrFan]

Fucking Kuzma "The Force" is coming off the bench because :cry Larry Nance Jr

Use The Force, Luke! :lol

See, you're playing checkers again. Luke had to play LNJ to boost his trade value. Along with Clarkson, we "traded" him to the Land to get a 1st round pick (Mo Wagner) for LBJ to play with. :lol

[LkrFan]

Looks like he's in select company:

1014733894308884480

Not bad for a bust. :lol

[LkrFan]

I'm predicting that LaVar will drink a tall warm glass of STFU this year:

1014857618286891008

Gotta admit, I'm concerned that he has knee issues at 20 years old. He missed 30+ games as a rookie, he's had PRP (like Kobe), and now he "might" need surgery? Not good.

I questioned the Rondo signing, but now it makes sense. Not only can Rondo run the team if Zo is out for any extended period of time, he can also take over if LaVar causes Maginka to ship his ass out. :lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Imagine thinking Lonzo isn't trash because the Lakers decided to give LeBron a retirement tour. Really grasping at straws there, Marcelo.

[lebomb]

Looks like he's in select company:

1014733894308884480

They failed to mention ............ he shot at a 17% clip in doing so.

:lol Imagine thinking Lonzo isn't trash because the Lakers decided to give LeBron a retirement tour. Really grasping at straws there, Marcelo.

Retirement tour? :lol Too bad he didn't want to be with Doc Rivers. Even your cousin Clipper Darrell is on Lonzo's bandwagon :lol

[LkrFan]

LeBron chose Lonzo over PopPERIOD.

Lebron and the Lakers aint doing shit and you know it Ignacio. Their fate is to be swept by GS every year. Lebron went to LA because he knows he will never beat GS so he wants to stop tarnishing his finals record. pretty obvious tbh. besides who the fuck wants to live in Cleveland

Rondo is here now. I'm sure he'll rough Lonzo up in practice. Lonzo also beefed up. So I am certain Patricia won't be starting no shit this year. :lol

Until Luke gets fired and replaced by Coach LaVar. Then, that won't be allowed anymore.

Summer League highlights? My how far the Mighty Lob City nation has fallen :lmao

Lakerfan was all hyped for Summer League last year when Lonzo was playing... until the first game happened and Lonzo shot 2-15, got posterized by Brice Johnson, and couldn't guard Kendall Marshall. Then the narrative was "who cares, it's only Summer League!" :downspin:

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Case in point:


He was a threat last night:

885362333563760640

Scoreless after 1st quarter, 36 points in the last 3. And-1 gave us the lead too (clutch).

Didn’t they play Lonzo a lot of minutes to end the year knowing he had a knee issue? Why? They weren’t winning anything.

Lol there goes his trade value. What a terrible draft pick.
