Lonzo is on a minute restriction and not starting. Must mean the Lakers realized he isn't a difference maker. #iknowalotaboutbasketball

| Good to have Ball's, defense, rebounding, and play creation back. |

| Solid game for Zo on limited action. His impact was felt. |

You can tell how distracted he is with building his brand. He's not focused on the game at all.

| 9-7-6 shooting 3-6 from 3 in 17 minutes after sitting out for a month, what a bust. |

| Love his game not trying to be a downer but wish he would get a couple easy ones for himself. He has speed, and hops, but I think he is a questionable finisher at this point. |

Needs to work on that. His floaters aren't pretty.

9/7/6 in 17 minutes.
The (bleep) you talking about?  |
Probably could've gotten a triple double if he was more focused on the game instead of this stupid rap thing. It's soooooooo annoying. Especially when you're freaking point guard version of Emiid. Tuh!

| Just another 9-7-6 game in 17 minutes. At least the "experts" finally realize how special he is. |

OMG. This is truly sad. He has been injury prone since we've had him. |
No, they are being careful for him just like any team will do with there franchise player.... he is 20 let’s keep that in mind he has a good 15-18 years In the NBA if they don’t monitor him now he will end up having issues down the road.... |
It makes sense to keep him out for now on a 2nd game of back to back, but right now he is no different than Embiid...until proven otherwise. |
That's not how it works. You can think crazy things. You can say crazy things. But if you post crazy things on this board you have to have some basis in reality.
Take the crazy down a notch, please.  |
I don’t think it’s crazy. I have no issues with him on a minutes restriction tonight and sitting out tomorrow night. That actually makes sense.
If you think the Embiid comparison is the issue, fine then I’ll modify: With his injuries to date, it is concerning that he is potentially on the Embiid track record. Let’s see what happens, but his propensity to get injured is a problem as of today. |
That “modification” is still absurd. The mere mention of Embiid as a legitimate comparison is hot take status. |
Worry about your own hot takes. Thanks. |

Good to have Lonzo back, the shot still looks legit and he just fits in so effortlessly with any lineup.
If we keep the core of Lonzo, Hart, Ingram and Kuz, add PG to that and some legitimate size at the 5 we'll be a team nobody wants to play for years to come. If we can get IT on the cheap this offseason I'd also do it. |

Seriously though, we have Randle who is going to be a 20, 10 & 5 guy and the promising young Zubac to give us size at the 5. All we need to do is either add a superstar Max player or just give these kids a little more time to grow into superstars themselves. Hopefully we do both. |

| Good game tonight, hopefully Lonzo feels fine tomorrow. I can't blame Luke/Magic for being real cautious on easing Lonzo back. We can afford to all of a sudden. It's great how both Randle and Ingram have stepped up their games, and Hart's emerged a very solid rotation guy too. |

9 pts, 7 boards, 6 dimes tonight... I think if he just gets on the court and just breathes, he could get 5,5,5 minimum.
Can't wait till this man "arrives." |

| Lonzo looked pretty good in his return tonight. Hopefully no complications and he can get back to the grind after taking the next game off. |
