Ingram not playing was the best thing for Lonzo. he took over the offense and asserted himself instead of defering to Ingram

Not a chance. Curry, WB, Harden are all locks. I could see him leading the rookies to victory over the soph team though.


More than 3 guards make the all star team yo. I don't think the East team last season had a all star Center.


Butler, Klay, CP3.

Come on, the west is loaded with great guards. I think Lonzo has a legit shot at ROY, but all-star? Not as a rookie.


Not saying he should either.

Juuuuuuuusssssssttttt saying....we got fans. And we can vote.

These injuries are starting to scare me a little. Lonzo's hip in the tournament, then his groin and now his calf.

Otherwise he looks great out there.

Lonzo has his own thread on the Celtics forum

Check it out before they delete it.


Love this the mix of denial and fear is tantalizing

nice find. They seem very high on him, sounds like LG.


Quote:
Lonzo Ball look legit


Quote:
Will we regret passing on him? He gets guys easy buckets and with his length can guard 1 through 3. He would have paired nicely with IT in the backcourt. An investment in Lonzo would have increased our return on Jaylen making him an even more lethal fast break threat and more efficient in sets.

At one point you say here are our big three in shots (it, heyward and jaylen) then factor in horford morris, and Crowder, there aren't that many shots left. Looks like lonzo would have enhanced all their games while giving us the best chance to win immediately.

Not that Tatum isn't nice, but from a roster and shot perspective, ball would have been perfect.



Quote:
More fun to root against him vs for him IMO. Biggest piece of premade hollywood Lakers propaganda probably ever.

You can taste the plastic--- gross.



Quote:
He's a cool cat. He doesn't whine or showboat. He's just playing his ass off and only focused on the game, no antics. Lots of respect for Lonzo.



Quote:
is he good yes but is he lights and day better than tatum nope. Most of balls stuff seems staged like you said I also have felt that way so far.



Quote:
My only hope is that his defense absolutely terrible, and that he can't get in the paint, and is effectively a spot-up shooter on offense, because he gets rejected too much. This is my prayer, because I just need him to be terrible for one season. :pray:


Quote:

DJax burnt him time and time again. He couldn't turn the corner against any of our guys that played him and he is shooting low-mid 30s. He can pass and has good instincts for sure


Quote:
If you think like that then kuzma > Tatum. Kuzma outplayed Tatum when they played each other and kuzma has been killing it ever since. Ball is legit based on what Ive seen so far. People calling him a bust after the first game is stupid. I love Lonzo. Theres something special about him. Can't explain it. The way he impacts the game by making everyone's better is crazy. Before the summer league game started I was like no way Lonzo ain't getting a triple double because nobody has never done it in a summer league game before. Oh boy was I wrong about him.


Quote:
Ball is a star in the making...Fultz and Tatum will be stars too.

Yeah I'm fine with him sitting out the championship game. He has shown us so much this summer, I feel so spoiled.

So since everyone is paying attention to his shoe choice, for the final game is he wearing Big Baller? Basically saying this is brand you wear when you're playing for a championship?

The new SPL format is pretty dumb having them play so many games in such a short span. You'd hate to see any player get hurt let alone of our own.

He pretty much said he would have gone back into the game if it were a regular season game. the trainers were just being cautious since it's summer league.

Celtics could have won it all if they drafted lonzo with the way they play defense 😂


Bruh, I thought Lonzo ball was the best player in the draft and I really didn't even think it was close, but this kid is exceeding even my expectations out the gate. I did not expect him to be able to Create his own offense as often as he's been able to. If brook Lopez is going to be at the 3p line, Lonzo is gonna get to the basket pretty damn regularly.


btw...players are gonna be trying to be physical, take dirty shots and talk a lot of (bleep) to Lonzo because of his dad. Lakers were smart to go get KCP and keep randle around. Since we still have a couple of spots I wouldn't mind bringing back metta just to sit at the end of the bench in case teams get out of hand with it.

I have noticed an interesting trend with this Lonzo Ball.

Everywhere he plays, his teams get better and win more.

He has a great combination of talent, leadership and humility.

I am all in on this kid, all in 100%


A very important point

So the bad side is we probably paid deep price to get the first pick but failed to end up with the best player in this class.
And the good side is with Ball leading the lakers they may not be that bad to handle Celtics another top 5 pick and Sac seems to do some smart moves to ensure their pick in 19 wont be that high either.
So that means maybe we didnt pay that much to get Fultz....
Oh well ... :roll:


Quote:
There is no "probably" in it. The 76ers traded up to take a player that neither Boston or the Lakers were ever going to take, and wasn't even one of the best three (3) players in the draft. SMH. It's done now. Hopefully he is a good NBA player and fits well with what the 76ers already have.

Lonzo's been incredible so far. Well beyond my imagination. Hope these injuries are just freak occurrences and not a sign of things to come. I hpoe it might just be his body adjusting to real elite level training.

A lot of their losses were lopsided too. Most experts here believed he is that clear cut number 1. Kid is good but I just don't see the intangibles that he can bring and impact the game.

It's all precautions. At the end of the day, these games are meaningless.

I think the thing about Lonzo is that confidence he brings. He will passing it to you, even if you miss. It instills confidence in his team.

Ingram not playing was the best thing for Kuzma.

We should've convinced Deng, Randle and Clarkson to play Summer League and we'd have them all traded by now.
