All that credit goes to Chandler.

He was literally holding Len and I think Prince, one with each arm, away from the ball.


Oh ok. Lol

Along with Chandler's block, that play decided the game.


Definitely.

I’ll try and post a clip later. It’s pretty hilarious. He is literally holding two grown ass men, with each arm, away from the ball. Haha

Kuzma just happened to jump with his hands in the air and the ball fell perfectly in his grasp. Thanks Tyson

Those 3s have to start falling soon! Has anyone noticed a difference in his form or is it just a cold start?

I'm starting to think that Kuzma has a better chance of being our 2nd best offensive player than Ingram.

Not an expert on mechanics, but his 3s look rushed to me this year. Like, he is trying to shoot like Curry

His form does look a little different. It seems like he can't get into any kind of Rhythm yet.

Ingram is the better overall player, but Kuzma is just the much better fit next to LeBron.

That’s the honest to goodness truth.

Looks like there's less air under his feet and lets hope its just a cold start.
Id be interested to see if there is a difference in where he's letting them fly vs last season

Kuzma is a much better fit offensively. If he could calm down his cracked out feet on D, he would be a legit starter.

Umm anyone who watched last season knew this. Ingram's game is not polished at all, and he lacks explosion and control.

For instance, if you give the ball to Kuz on a fast break, he'll dunk it ahead of defenders. For some reason, Ingram is terribly slow on the dribble. He's like the anti Leo Messi. I don't know why, he seems to go 10x slower with the ball.

You miss 320% of the shots you don't take?

Interestingly Kuz seems to be dunking everything he can this year. Last year through 77 games Kuzma recorded 28 dunks. Through 13 games this year he already has 18.

Nobody is going to tell you Kuzma is a good defender or even that he could necessary become more than average in that function but he's putting up 18 a game and thats with his three not falling and with that whole debacle of playing him at the 5.

He's gonna be huge for us going forward.

Hart and Kuz are starting to understand how to play off Lebron. Lonzo is showing some flashes but sometimes he reverts back to his passive games.

That's his highlights from yesterday, and in one game you can see that he has a knack for:
1) staying in a pocket/3 point line, ready to receive the ball

(look at that had raise )
2) cutting and making himself available for a pass
