loving the no taking (bleep) from BI in the game, looked to me that he took an elbow from harden and wasn't happy with it.

I wonder how Lonzo responds if Beverly bullies him like he did last year I already know if Rondo is on the court he's going after him.

he knows his body and has a LeBron like devotion to staying in shape | he isn't human. westbrook had knee surgery and came back with the same hops and pop in his step like it never happened. the dude is a machine. yes he takes care of his body and has been a vet for awhile now. but that is only a part of it. dna is the other part. he gets injured but he has that bounce back dna. zo, right now, not so much. westbrook isn't nearly as THIN as zo is either. so different build. |

Lonzo could start for 5 minutes of the 1st and still be on a minutes restriction.
Luke just enjoys making things difficult because he assumes he's the smartest guy in the room. |
If Luke read your posts, he might say the same about you 😜
You know it’s not his sole decision. There’s a medical staff who make these decisions/recommendations. They know more about the players than we can imagine or assume. |

I just realized Lonzo is the only one of the young core with good badges on 2K 😂
He has;
Gold break starter
Gold dimer
Gold flashy passer
Gold lob city passer
Silver pick & roll maestro
Bronze defensive stopper
Bronze pick dodger
BI only has Silver one man fast break & Bronze putback king
Kuzma has
Gold tear dropper
Bronze brick wall
Bronze lob city finisher
Bronze one man fast break
Bronze relentless finisher
Hart has
Silver corner specialist
Bronze catch & shoot
Bronze deep range deadeye
For those that don’t know the badges are basically specialities that players do well ,they go from worst to best .. bronze, silver, gold, hall of fame
Lonzo has some really good badges in the game |

When he swings both hands down after launching a 3, you know the confidence is there.
Did you also catch the play where Hart got clothe lined? Lonzo was running towards the hoop anticipating a pass for the layup. Which is always good to see. |

Let's go Lonzo. Time to prove the doubters wrong.
I really liked his confidence going 4-8 on 3s. Looked really good. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I think it’s just confidence when it comes to his shooting
Didn’t he airball a 3 last game then hit his next 3 3s in a row? |

he's just the type of guy who needs a solid airball to start the game before he gains confidence in his shot. |

I’m hoping he’s staying that way. What a big difference if he can. |

This right here has always been the issue. He looked good just letting the ball fly. |

LBJ is shooting .091 from 3. Whoa. Kuz at .167 and KCP at .25.
Those are 3 guys we're hoping shoot .36 and above. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

If you include the two preseason games and the one they changed to a 2, then he’s 9 for 20, 45% on the shots so far. We’ll see if he’s starting hot or if he’s found his shot again.
Remember, from November 11th to March 5th (29 games) he shot 39% from 3. I think it got to him a little his rookie year, both mentally and physically. This year he seems better prepared mentally and hopefully his body will hold up to the grind. |

And he will launch when open so that gives some space for LBJ. Kuz theoretically too. I think we may like this lineup change (brought to us via suspension). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Biggest reason for 0-2 imo.
I know a case could be made for defense being the main problem, but scores around the league are up and no one is really playing defense right now, relatively speaking of course. |

Yeah, if we hit our 3s at even a below avg rate of 33% we'd be 2-0 right now. No one in the NBA is playing defense anymore just look at the scores of games so far this season. We need to practicing our shooting more than anything else. What the hell happened to Magic getting a shooting coach? |

Yeah. I think LBJ/Kuz/KCP will get their 3% up to 35%+ in due time. And that will translate to wins. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Let’s see if Lonzo can give Luke a reason to keep him in the starting line up after 3 games. If we win 2/3 he probably won’t want to mess with it. |

I expect both Lonzo and Kuzma to have good games as starters. They both know it's an opportunity to show out. In Kuzma's case he gets to play SF/PF. That should help. |
