Josh Hart has been cutting and making threes again
he needs to be in the starting lineup
he pairs well with lebron too
I don't really care, one of Kuz or Ingram needs to come off the bench so Hart can start and we have better perimeter defense with Hart and Zo in the back-court |
Yup.
They need to rock scissor paper for it. |

So far Kuz has been Bron's Love so far in only his 2nd season. He's averaging 19 a game on 49% from the field & a TS% at 57%, more efficient than even Love's best season with LeBron in 2016-17. Love's much better as a rebounder and passer, but both equally terrible on defense. Kuz as a 2nd year player that was a late 1st round pick, there isn't anything more you can ask for when he has essentially been replicating Love's production and has been LeBron's Kevin Love. |

if he could score 19, rebound and defend better then he would be a bonafide All star no? |

19ppg with average defense and rebounding might not be enough for him to be a bonafide All Star, but it would be nice. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

- Ingram: 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds
- Kuzma: 19.2 points, 4.9 rebounds |
You'd think as taller/PF/C Kuz might catch a couple off missed free throws |
You'd think, yet 6'6 Lonzo basically averages more rebounds in his early career so far than both the taller 6'9 Kuz and Ingram. |
I noticed that for free throws Kuz always has inside position for rebounding misses while BI and Zo stand out by the half court line so you are right Kuz's rebounding #'s are atrocious |

Gotta get better on the boards Kuz.
There were some sequences were he didn't mistep on defence and actually held his balance which was nice to see.
Hope that's not an aberration but actually the beginning of a trend |

Love was a much better defender than Kuz when playing PF against traditional lineups. Much better than Kuz. But he was a disaster playing against small lineups. |

Between Kuz/Hart/BI/KCP... whoever can cover defense, play next to LeBron |

Too much to ask huh?
If all he can give us is 3 reb a game, then that’s all he can give |

If we still had Brook Lopez, would he and Kuzma be the worst rebounding starting front court in the history of the NBA?
What would they avg, 6 reb a game? |

Good game tonight. Good effort on D and not as many obvious lapses. Kuz will be alright. He just really needs to get stronger. |

Kuz 18 pts and 8 reb. That rebound off LeBron's miss at the free throw line was huge. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Along with Chandler's block, that play decided the game. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

All that credit goes to Chandler.
He was literally holding Len and I think Prince, one with each arm, away from the ball. |
