I'd like to see that lineup with hart instead of ball (ingram at point)
(obviously not as replacement for ball. just wonder how they would do) _________________ Kobe |

I think Kuzma is really going to shock some people next season. Absolutely love his game. |

I love his game too. He's already shocking people in his rookie season and it all started in summer league getting the MVP. He's untouchable in my opinion. And I think Magic feels the same way. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

The rookie wall has been smashed and he’s trending way up. If he watches a lot of film and works on his weaknesses, he will be a monster next year. |

I thought it was pretty foolish and bad strategy to not have Kuz more involved in the 4th. The kid has proven he is a killer in big moments. They probably win yesterday if the late game plays ran through Kuz.
That was really as dumb, low basketball iq the lakers have looked all season on both ends of the floor. They got 125 points but that was more to do with the pelicans 3 games in 3 nights. |

And he is breaking though his comfort zone by playing the 3 since BI got injured. He will be more versatile next year by being capable of playing the 3/4. Also his defense is getting better. He has made tremendous strides this year. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

That’s definitely a huge positive. One thing that I’ve liked that Luke has done is play guys at multiple positions. Zo has played the 1, 2, 3 this season. Randle at the 4,5. BI at the 1, 3. Hart at 2, 3. Now Kuz at 3, 4. This will help dictate matchups and create versatile lineups that allow your best players on the court.
Hopefully next year, PG could play 2, 3. Bron could play 1,3, 4 if we get those guys. Get your five best players on the court at the end of the game. |

Luke has had a thing for letting KCP be the one to take the game winning shot after a timeout. I do not know why. _________________ |

Kuzma has really shown me something the last week or so. I was getting pretty down on him with his shooting slump and lack of defense, but he's been trying harder on D and getting back to his early form so I'm pretty happy with him right now. Props to him for his 3 point/rebounds/points milestone... to be the first to achieve that is saying a lot and if he continues his effort on defense, the sky's the limit for him. |

Kuz is frankly amazing. He broke through that rookie wall and is now having 20 point scoring games as well as playing better D and making passes. The ability to play the 3 is also very encouraging. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

Maybe because he was hitting shots all night? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

That was a heck of a call to double KCP on that shot. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
