Nice 1st game back.
You can see he's been hitting the weights. |

Solid all-around game by Zo. The extra muscle and strength were apparent.
IMO Zo, BI & Kuz all breakout this year. |

I've noticed even last season the games he wore Kobe's he played much better than the ones he wore BBB. Or maybe I'm trippin. |

No, you’re right. And if we noticed it, the. Ball definitely does. Athletes always try to use a ritual that works the best for them, including clothing. |

It'd be dope if BBB did a collaboration with Nike/Kobe on a shoe for Zo |

| I always say dude just breathes on the court last year and gets 10,7,7. Tonight he took a few breaths and got 7,4,4. Can't wait till he hits his stride. |

Airball and poor help decisions on defense to start.
But settled in nicely.
Just stay healthy |

Seeing Lonzo go tough to the hole was great.
And yeah, normally I don't buy into the "Player x looks bigger" mantra that seems inevitable every preseason, but in this case - Lonzo does look bigger. Particularly upper back is where I see it. |

Yeah I imagine he had to skip that. 
Or worse yet - one leg is thick like the hulk, the other is BI skinny. |

Never skip a leg day. Lonzo look aight to me, stronger and bulkier on his upper body but did not lose speed. |

I liked the RondoZo backcourt for the short time they were on the court together. With Lonzo hulked out, he looks like he could defend some SFs in a 3-guard lineup (which would mean less Stephenson).

Lonzo Ball on lineups playing w Rajon Rondo: "We got two point guards on the court at once. Puts me to the two. I can guard twos. I don't think that's a problem. Like I said, I did it at UCLA, so it's not a big deal for me." #Lakers |
Yep. Off ball with Aaron Holiday and even with Alford at times.
Nice UCLA backdoor dunks |

| I'd rather have Ball at the 1 and Hart, or KCP at the two. I don't see a reason for Ball and Rondo to be on the court together. |
