Similar issues in Boston. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Not enough minutes going around or balls for that matter. Consistency in role is so important in basketball. It's affecting the laker players as well as the Boston players. |
Wow. He's still playing 32.5mpg (up from 30.5 from last year). But less than the 35.9 from the playoffs. Good to see.  |
If only. |
I love when Boston players do poorly |

I meant that in a general sense, not specific to just Tatum. I just don't like writing long posts. |

They go to a place, and everything just gravitates and revolves around them. I get all the stuff about how he's a system player, but if that's really the truth, then he shouldn't have been a #2 pick. You want a little more from your #2, not just utility guy or system guy. Lakers went from trying to build a Warriors type team, which was foolish to begin with, to signing Lebron and Rondo. So as much as Mitch and Buss were given heat for no direction, Magic and Pelinka are sorta going in every direction. Base on where they're going, they shouldn't have drafted Lonzo. |
Hmm.
In my opinion, he's not a system guy per se.
He is the system... if that makes sense.
With that idea, I think a #2 pick makes sense.
Remember, Lebron was NOT a guarantee back then.
Lonzo is not being the engine he's supposed to be. Whether it be because the engine is the Big Fish in Lebron now, or Lonzo is just not bringing it consistently. Or both.
He's a smart kid. I'm hoping he figures it out. |
His shot wasn't falling, but I thought he was very engine-y last night. |
In all fairness, there hasn't been a #2 overall pick to leap off the page since Kevin Durant who was drafted in 2007. Olapido is finally coming into his own and he was drafted #2 in 2013. |
yep. and it took oladipo 4 seasons to get there and 3 teams to pull it off. oladipo looked like a bad choice in orlando. not one of our guys look like BAD choices. oladipo looked like a low iq player in OKC. not one of our players looks like a low iq player. This means with the proper work ethic, time, scheme all of them will pan out to be very very good and maybe some or one of them will end up being great. its too early to say. |

Walton said he’s unsure if Ball will be able to play tomorrow. He came down on someone’s foot during practice, and they told him to go to the training room.

Fox averaging 19-7-4 and shooting 50% from the field, 37% from 3s.
His stats this season looks really good!

Not a good look at all. Coincidental that he's possibly out against Fox again?

I thought most of you were joking about the "ducking fox" idiocy. But some of you seem to believe it.
They already played against each other last season, November and January. |

I don't see it. Teams don't want the Ball family drama. If anything, more likely BI is on the block over Lonzo as I think most teams value him more.

I hope you’re right, but there hasn’t been much if any Ball family drama this season. |

Magic/LBJ are larger suns than LaVar's dying star.

Sure. But what is the current Lavar drama that is being shielded by the 2 suns? |

Is it fair to already worry about how long he's going to be out? Every injury should be it's own thing, but it seems like all of his injuries have kept him out for a longer period that we thought it would.
I can't forget how Lonzo had injury classified as day-to-day last season, only to miss more than a month of games. |
