LeBron drawing a crowd every time he drives to the bucket, but unfortunately there's no shooters to kick it out to.

He's had a couple really nice recoveries
But you only recover because you were beat in the first place. He's been getting beat a lot, to say nothing of his fouling

If we’re gonna slander Ingram for his offense we’ll slander Kuzma for his garbage shot selection and defense

Do you like anyone? Does anyone like you?


Can you stay away from personal attacks, do mods have favorites around here because it amazes me how you continue do this. You can never seem to focus on the team and not attack other posters...

Yes, I like a few of our players. I think Lonzo and Kuzma leave a lot to be desired though.

It's good to hear you like some of the players

Maybe your constant negativity isn't popular...?


Just ignore me moving forward clown...

You need a comma there, putz

I guess. But he's getting beat pretty bad, when Harden beats Ingram there isn't as much separation.

Ingram also didn't block Harden and Cp3.. and Ingram weighs 40lbs less

Kuzma will have more opportunities to make defensive plays. Because he’s so trash at defense they’ll attack him constantly

Here's the deal. I do not want to trade Kuz. But I also do not want to play him exclusively at the 5.

If we're resigned to playing him there, then, what are we doing? We should trade him, if possible, to get ourselves an actual starting center.

If we're not resigned to playing him there, then get someone else in there. Zu, Beasley, I don't care. But it has never looked good putting him there, and I do not see how that helps him develop as a player at all since that's not his game.

It's not like the only deficiency was in his defense as a center. He looked out of sorts and resembled nothing like the awesome player that we all expected to take a major step forward this year.


Yup, I had this same argument a few pages ago.

People are complaining that there's no minutes for him. That the only way to get him some minutes was at center, which they don't want to see him play.

I said, if that's the case, gotta look into trading him while his value is still high.

They said, what are you crazy? Why would you trade a guy that could be a potential superstar.

But the thing is, the problem that's proposed is that - we have no room for him to become a superstar here with us. In order for Kuzma to fully develop with us, he needs to play at his best position, and he needs to get minutes there. So far, it's been hard for us to give him that role. If going forward, this is going to be an issue, then gotta look into moving him while his value is sky high.

He might be able to get us a lotto pick right now.


I’d trade Ingram before Kuzma. As of right now Kuzma alone ain’t getting us a whole lot and I’d rather keep more shooters around LeBron. Not saying Kuzma is a great shooter but damn sure better than Ingram in that category.


Nicca u crazy

He will be okay. Like lebron his J is absent due to the strength they have gained. Give him 4-7 games and he will be back.
