Kcp threw like two turnovers to lonzo cutting
They don't have the personnel to do it from guard to guard |

I'm sure we'd all like to see him shoot the ball like Nash. Kidd was a great rebounder and defender though, and I think Lonzo will follow more in that mold. |

I wish he becomes a mixture of them. |

Watching Sixers vs Clippers and my gawd Ben Simmons looks amazing! He's literally playing PG out there, a 6'10 PG, like light colored Magic Johnson.
He's gong to be matched up with Zo literally on Wed. Going to be interesting to see Zo guard him if it's a position by position match-up.

Embiid was good too. Sixers have a nice future Magic/Kareem potential combo if they continue to improve and don't get hurt.
Happy to see the Clips lose too. Clippers fans are sad and bitter, someone had a sign up that said "Lonzo Who?" with Deandre Jordan's face. They weren't even playing the Lakers

No BS you and Cranjis are the best basketball guys on twitter for in depth analysis. LG needs to sign GT to a max contract before he gets scooped up by ESPN.

ESPN would be a good look but I doubt Coach Pete would wanna sell out like Woj lol

| Bobby buckets is probably the biggest part to the 76ers success. Lakers need to get that dude, since he alone makes Simmons game so much easier |

I doubt Zo's outside shooting ever gets close to Nash's level. He'll put up Kidd-like stats with regularity, imo.

Nash was MVP twice, although one year could have been Shaw's. Kidd was a finalist twice in a weak East, and a Champion with the Mavs. Although that was all due LeChoke. Not sure who I'd rather see Lonzo become. Off the court, I'd rather have him be Nash, lol. Jason Kidd's reputation would have been a dumpster fire if he played in today's social media age. lol. |

| Quote: | | With Clarkson and Brewer combining for 24 points in the second half, the Lakers got a much-needed 100-93 win over the Phoenix Suns at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The Lakers (6-8) finished a daunting four-game trip by snapping a three-game losing slide. “We got a win so I got no complaints,” said Ball, who exited the game with 2:47 left in the third quarter for Clarkson. “My teammates got it done in the fourth and we had to at least get one on this road trip.” 44 mins ago – via ESPN |

I think Ben is the real Magic heir over Lonzo. Ben can impose his physicality and will in ways Lonzo cannot.

For those who are interested, the first RPM stats came out today. Ball ranked 81st out of 85 PGs with an ORPM of -2.09. He ranked 9th out of 85 PGs with a DRPM of 0.54. Overall, he ranked 47th out of 85 with an RPM of -1.55.
The stats can be found here. It should go without saying that early season stats will have some anomalies due to the small sample size.

So strange how he was heralded as an offensive guru, meanwhile he's been more effective defensively. What?

Actually, the Chinese got it. They wouldn't keep three guys locked for shoplifting long enough and create a diplomatic crisis about it. But they would need some kind of apology for that. Both sides did what they had to do.

Wonder what BBB gave up for LiAngelo's release. Guarantee there was some quid pro quo action behind the scene.

Eh, I don’t think those numbers are surprising to anyone who has been watching him objectively. His defensive game developed a lot faster than his overall offensive game. As his offensive game develops, he should move up that list pretty fast. Ranking ninth defensively is impressive for a rookie. For a comparison, Fox ranks dead last. |

I'm saying that the scouting report said that his defense would be a problem while he would be an offensive juggernaut. Kind of surprising it's the opposite, which is actually a good thing IMO as I think his offensive advanced stats will get better with acclimation to the 3 point line and hopefully better teammates next year.
