i want to be a great player. i want to be a mount rushmore player.

i want to close games, Just do what I did last year. I think in the fourth quarter, that was my time. That’s where I thrived, playing under pressure in clutch situations. I love that. I think last year I showed that to everybody that I was capable of doing that not only in the early part of the season but the last 20 games of the season, closing out games like the Spurs game :lol

[StrengthAndHonor]

I believe Kuzma will have a great season. He surprised a lot of people last year, myself included. I also don't see any other guy that can close games for the Lakers- other than LeBron of course- so Kuzma may become their second best offensive player.

I still think Lonzo will bring the most value, in terms of advance statistics.

If there's one thing that impresses me the most about Kuzma, it's definitely his mentality. Eerily reminds me of Kobe's drive, obviously not on the same level but he's up there. Lakers got a winner in this kid. I would trade Tobias Harris for this guy in a heartbeat.

if Lonzo can stay health you are probably right, but I think yall are sleeping on Ingram.
i think both he and Kuz have breakout seasons and Lakers may eventually have to choose who they committ to long-term, depending on who they sign in FA

lonzo gone the moment lavar starts yappin and they know it, no wonder he’s been quiet

[Killakobe81]

Lonzo is in a spot where he is no longer the chosen one, because i nicca walked in to building with that tatted on his back that has 3 rings.
Zo needs to make sure he don't rush back unhealthy he needs a big year to prove he is worthy of being a core piece to Lebron and the title team he is plotting ...
IF he can get his shot together he is the perfect PG for a superstar team ...he doesnt pound the rock or need teh ball to make an impact ...and he passes ahead when most other PG's need teh bal in their heand to create shots.

The ringer captured exactly what I have been saying recently, here (https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/9/25/17896972/lonzo-ball-lebron-james-lakers)


The argument for sitting Ball on this Lakers roster isn’t difficult to make, however. He’s coming off a meniscus surgery on his right knee and was one of the league’s worst finishers last season, shooting below 50 percent at the rim with an anemic fouls-drawn rate and the fourth-worst true shooting percentage of any player in the past decade (minimum 1,700 minutes played). His supporters will quickly counter with Ball’s impressive counting stats (10.2 PPG, 7.2 APG, 6.9 RPG), but reducing Ball to a stat line, good or bad, seems to completely miss the point of what makes him such an intriguing prospect. If where you stand on Al Horford is the ultimate basketball litmus test, Lonzo Ball is basketball’s Rorschach test—the optics are confusing (did he just shoot that across his face?) and lack context, but you still have to feign confidence in what you think you saw.

LeBron’s first impression of Ball may define what role the NBA sophomore eventually has next to him. Because of how much influence he wields, LeBron could render Lonzo his next Eric Snow or George Hill—existing only to play tough defense, rebound, and get the ball across half court every now and then—with the snap of his fingers. But while there are undoubtedly better shooters and scorers the Lakers could put next to LeBron, there’s a long game to be considered. The golden years for LeBron aren’t far off, and he’ll eventually need to rely much more on his help. Ball is perfectly suited to handle the task of making sure everyone is ready for that moment when it arrives.

Not unlike LeBron and Rondo, Ball has great vision and can simplify the game, but he does it in a drastically different way. Like a good therapist might, Ball allows his teammates to reach conclusions for themselves, rather than forcing the answer upon them. While LeBron and Rondo will manipulate angles and wait for the perfect window to arise, Ball will quickly transfer even the smallest created advantage, allowing more options and freedom for the end user. According to NBA.com/Stats, out of all regular starting point guards last season, Ball averaged the least time per touch in the league, at 3.84 seconds. The ball never sticks when he’s on the floor; he’ll often have his next pass lined up before he even gains possession. It’s fun to play with him, but maybe more importantly, it can be empowering for the other young players to see the positive results of their own decisions.


Ball is much more than a distributor, though. Even if you choose to ignore his impact defensively and his rebounding ability for his position as a 20-year-old, his quick and selfless decision-making paired with his improved 3-point shooting down the stretch (33.1 percent after November) and encouraging catch-and-shoot percentage (33.7 percent from 3 on the season) should alleviate concerns of whether he can have an impact playing off the ball. He already has.

The disconnect between Lonzo’s perceived and actual strengths perhaps comes from how he was introduced to the basketball world. Those 30-second Instagram clips of Ball as a high schooler helped turn him into a cult hero and provided his father with a platform to draw more attention to—or a bigger target on—his son. But those days at Chino Hills High School also led to Ball’s infectious style, which the young Lakers fully leaned into last season: run, pitch it ahead, and attack scrambling defenses. Whether that style can survive with a more calculated LeBron on board (Cleveland ranked 25th, 28th, 16th, and 12th in pace the past four seasons; the Lakers finished third last season) remains to be seen, but it’s in everyone’s best interest to keep that fast-paced mind-set, because it creates an identity and style that’s something other than “give the ball to LeBron.”


While no one will prohibit LeBron from going supernova in the postseason and playing exactly the brand of basketball he wishes to play, 82 games is a long sample size to experiment with. Rondo is a known entity who won’t suddenly become a spot-up threat, but Ball isn’t as far away in that area as it might seem. Short of that, maybe Ball will become useful as an unorthodox screen setter who carves defenses up with his passing off the short roll. Quin Snyder may have created the blueprint to follow with the way he transformed Ricky Rubio from a hapless finisher into a real offensive threat. But that approach requires creativity, experimentation, and a lot of patience.

This is all uncharted territory for LeBron. He’s never leveraged a point guard’s passing and creativity to his own benefit before. Is that merely coincidental—a function of having never played with a truly gifted distributor at that position—or by choice? Whether or not LeBron is willing to cede some control to Ball may provide the answer.



Lonzo still gotta prove it, though.

lonzo’s under a tremendous pressure to have a successful sophomore season. he’s walking on thin ice imo- and now that magic/rob did part of what they’re supposed to do which is to bring a marquee FA, they can eject lonzo’s ass and cite lebron’s need to be surrounded by win-now players to improve their chances of winning.

I know you’re not a fan of Lance but I think he’ll be very valuable in the playoffs, assuming Lebron can control him.

[Killakobe81]

I know you’re not a fan of Lance but I think he’ll be very valuable in the playoffs, assuming Lebron can control him.

You are right I have not been.
But Lebron is right that we need guys that are tough and the willing "run in a wall" if need be.
No way we can outshoot the Warriors or even the Rox/Celts.
To compete we need to dominate the boards and get easy looks in transition and we have two half court wizards Lebron/Rondo and a fast berealk passing savant ...we should be able to score.
Also Rondo/Lonzo are great rebounding PG's especially Lonzo Lebron can be dominate on the glass as well.

3pt Shooting is a problem but if we can manahe turnovers, rebound well we should be a top 5 scoring team and have the length to be a top 10 defense.
IF we are both those things for Lebron we should be fine.
Cant beat state, probably cant beat Celts either ... but I would like our chances vs. Rox

[RsxPiimp]

shit. we need another big body down low. williams has heart but you can’t beat size. orlando are collecting centers. give us biyombo or vucevic :lol

[RsxPiimp]

as expected- kuz and zo thrives in the starting lineup...

[StrengthAndHonor]

Lakers looked like a different team with Zo, Hart and Kuzma in the lineup. Also worth mentioning is the Zo and Kuzma connection, they always have great chemistry.

[Laker_1995]

We finally won 😂

[Bynumite]

Midgetball is frustrating to watch when there's legit 7 footers on the opposing team. Wish they would start the Mo Wagner experiment already, Zubac is not the one. Still disgusted with the Lakers letting a competent big like Randle walk for bum ass KCP :vomit:

On another note, Lonzo looks more assertive and confident, meanwhile we haven't Lavar in the media lately, coincidence? :lol

Expect Poop Walton to bench Lonzo again though, when Rondo returns from his suspension.

[HarlemHeat37]

Their prospects are extremely overrated(as usual), but they should be playing ahead of the old guys..LeBron is visibly declining and doesn't play defense anymore, he needs to be surrounded by athletes(Lakers young guys can't play defense, but still much better than the old guys)..

Looks like the Lakers won again. Were they getting all the calls? Lol

some calls were kinda in lebrons favor at times but jokic got some weak calls all game. It was even I think

zo lookin good too

[mystargtr34]

Rondo is terrible.. dude should come off the bench so Lonzo can start (he shouldn't even be in the league anymore really)... no doubt Luke Walton won't have the balls to bench Rondo and will bring him back into the SL as soon as he returns.

Ingram is a sucky low energy player too..he should come off the bench.

McGee
Bron
Kuz
Hart
Lonzo

Thats a solid starting lineup that will defend, hustle and rebound and knock down a few open shots between Hart and Kuz.

[mystargtr34]

Side note Hart reminds me a lot of 2011-14 Danny Green.. potential to be a high end role player on a good team. versatile defender.. gritty.. rebounds.. spaces the floor.

spot on

lance is the wild card. cant expect him to keep this up but he’s been carrying the team offensively when lebron shrinks, true story :lol

[StrengthAndHonor]

zo lookin good too


He was fantastic. Its refreshing to see a player of his caliber do all the little things. His intangibles are remarkable.

James/Hart/Ball 4 for 16 from 3

Bench 4/7 from 3

Yeah Lonzo is a beast. :lol Keep the faggotry to yourself bro.

[Barfunk]

Yea, Lebron was definitely calling the shots in Cleveland.

Man, Kuz is legit.

[Killakobe81]

Man, Kuz is legit.

I think we have our #3...KK gets buckets.
Just need our #2
And figure out if Zo is a true core piece

[Killakobe81]

I thought he was at best an Horry type piece but maybe he can be more for us...

[Laker_1995]

Kuz lookin real nice.

[RsxPiimp]

agree. team is shaping up nicely. im starting to believe ingram just doesn’t fit when lebron and kuzma are on the floor. hopefully luke can utilize him with the second unit.

zo’s solid minus the occasional bloopers. he’s been a lot more aggressive lately.


j hart.

j hart.

Not worried about hart he is a much better fiinisher than fisher was and I think he has potential for that type of impact not sure he is the same type of leader but he is a winner. At every level. and reminds me of young Dfish.
Havent given up on Zo we have to remember he did not get to work on his game.
But did you see that tip dunk attempt?!
If he catches that clean its in consideration for dunk of the year I knew he had some hops but it was a crazy atheltic play.
he just need to work on his floaters and finishes at the rim ...i think if he does those his 3 ball will become more consistent.

[Killakobe81]

As for Ingram its because he needs the ball to be effective.
Kuz knows how to work off ball and stays in constant mortion and he has all the Antawn Jamisonesque scoops, hooks and floaters ...
Ingram has the more classic jumper and mid range game but Kuz is way more versatile ...

Ingram may need to be traded if that is what it takes to get our #2 I still believe in him and prefer to wait but ...with conference wide open outside of Warriors I cant blame Maginka if they go all in ...with the right deal ... we are one steph injury away from a legit title shot.

[ambchang]

I thought he was at best an Horry type piece but maybe he can be more for us...

Horry wasn’t about getting points. He was about being at the right spots and playing defense and helping you win games.

Kuzma is a poor man’s ceballos

[Killakobe81]

Kuzma is a poor man’s ceballos

I know Horryb wasn't I meant more the hybrid 4/3 and shooting range... Ceballos was a beast but we never (rarely) ran highly structured plays for him. Kuzma you can run plays for. Doesnt make Kuz better but he is not just a one way player his defense is improving along with playmaking. You are right that both are great moving without the ball though ced was a better finisher Kuz has better range.

I guess we just differ on what kuzma can offer. I think he’s a one dimensional scorer and won’t offer much else. He’s the definition of an empty calories guy.

But of course you watch him way more than me so I could be wrong.

HE is far removed from Horry defensively or not even as good a playmaker as DeRozen...
But if we say conpare him to the guys in his draft class like my fave Tatum, Mitchell, Zo, Fultz, Fox etc all picked far ahead of Kuzma he fares well. He has improved from his rookie year and to me an empty calories guy folds when a LeBron type player joins the team like Clarkson and Hood last year... But now LeBron is gone and Love us hurt Clarkson is putting up stats. Kuzma scores no matter who he plays with...

That draft class I painfully overrated. I don’t get any of the fawning over Mitchell. He’s a chucker and is at best a modern stackhouse. Fultz hasn’t been healthy yet. Lonzos game is just ugly and his defense cannot overcome his horrible offense. Fox put up stats on a bad team and will likely have one or two good seasons where people think he’ll be the next big thing, then quickly realize he’s nothing special. Tatum is the only one with any star potential, and even then he’d be a paul George type of star.

As for empty calories, I mean guys who put up stats but doesn’t impact winning at all. To me kuzma fits the bill

To say Kuzma hasn't impacted winning is unfair.
No he has won little without Bron but dude was a rook last year playing with vets on expiring or young unproven guys.
I am not saying he is an all star, potential star or anything of that nature. He is playing with a top 5 player so he should get open looks.
But
Even though we agree Tatum is probably the the best of this class for a guy drafted 15 plus spots later Kuzma has shown promise. Tatum is, praised and rightfully so, for stepping up in the playoffs. This year will be Kuzma's chance.
You think he is empty calories we will see.

True. Maybe he just didn’t have the chance to showcase.

But my comment on him being overrated took into account the fact that he hasn’t played any meaningful so far and critics treat it as if he did.

Playoff meaningful? no he hasn't even played any games yet where Lakers were fighting for one. Lakers were realistically eliminated by March last season.
But now that he is playing with Bron with higher expectations and plenty of national TV games, I would argue his mins this year are plenty meaningful ... as any regular season games can be , outside of the last month of the season where teams jockey for homecourt.

My fear he may prove just enough to get traded and I like the kid.
The city loves him as does the front office we will see ...

Even jr smith and boobie Gibson looked good next to Lebron. So he better.

Lakers getting killed in the 4th by fat boy analyst Jared Dudley and then D'Angelo hits the dagger :lol

[Mr. Body]

LBJ squishes the development of every player on the Lakers' roster. But then they're kind of crappy without him. This would have been a 20-30 point blowout by the Nets without him.

One thing I love about Kuzma Nicca fully embracing California...the women, culture and lifestyle. Plus he still the hardest working of the young core.

[Killakobe81]

And his girlfriend is a THOT but at least she a bad ass one...

[Bynumite]

Kuzma can score, that was known. Defense still questionable, Jared Dudley blowing by him in that L to the Nets, almost made me :vomit:
