| Man, look at the T Puppies - they basically have had the easiest strength of schedule so far this season. Plus they're healthy. I don't see them going very far. |

| The good news is that not only Jan, but Jan & Feb are MUCH easier months - Very hard SOS so far, but it will get easier soon. Keep your heads up, guys. |

The difference between Lonzo shooting 35% and Clarkson shooting 35% is simple
Lonzo makes the right basketball plays. He makes his team better. Clarkson is nothing but a hot dog let's not go there. |

Just more games for Luke to blow with his idiotic lineups. |

doesn't matter in this context...I am not handicapping the production...but posts suggest that Clarkson was the problem tonight....as if Lonzo routinely performs better when he plays. |
Lonzo does overall outperform JC, though. |

I don't thin Luke will be fired any time this year, but.. I think it's time they're start closely assessing what he's bringing to the table.
We practically hit 3 home-runs (yes, we did) with our draft picks this year with all contributing to the team. Yet here we are sitting with a .333 winning percentage now 10 games under .500.
No one can possibly say that we are not disappointingly under performing this year. We're definitely playing on the bottom end of our potential. |

amen... |
Clarkson is 5 years older, Lonzo organizes the offense much more effectively and plays superior defense. The only thing missing in Lonzo’s game is shooting, the only strength JC has is shooting...there is no comparing the two. |

JC is a scorer, if he's not scoring well he doesn't bring much to the table. Lonzo impacts the entire offense so much more, I don't think it's comparable. Lonzo on a bad shooting night still makes the Lakers better, the same can't be said for JC.
And I'm not even trying to hate on JC, he just doesn't have the same feel for the game that Lonzo does. |

hmmm...
in 54 Minutes, Clarkson and Randle combined for 33 Points / 9 Assists / 13 Rebounds / 4 Steals
in an average of 69 MPG, Ball and Ingram combine for 26 Points / 10 Assists / 12 Rebounds / 2 Steals

Lonzo practically shoots wide open shots. Clarkson seldom shoots wide open shoots, at times he does anything for a bucket whether its running into defenders or shooting through a crowd of defenders rather than passing to open shooters. |

Westbrook puts up even more amazing lines on a regular basis that usually are empty stats. If Kuzma is hot, Lonzo would get 10 plus assists and at least ten to twelve shots would have been distributed to someone more efficient than 33%. The only time Lonzo scores 17, is if he's hot... that's the difference... with the amount of shots Clarkson took, you need him to shoot closer to 45%. Clarkson and Brewer also made some really wild drives which you expect from Lonzo, but not from older vets. It wouldn't have been a disaster if he were in his typical role... but we needed him to take up the slack of Ingram, so it hurt to have such an inefficient high usage player out on the court. |

I couldn't care less about any of these meaningless stats. Guys like Clarkson and Randle are not good for a basketball team. Low IQ ball hogs. |

Guys like Kuzma Ball & Hart are the type of players you need to win.
Not Randle
Not Clarkson. |
