|
|
It’s funny because a week ago, we have a thread about Kuzma and IT having ZERO chemistry together. IT never passing Kuzma the ball, IT yelling at Kuzma a lot, even Kuz had an interview about it.
Now out of no where these past two games, IT has looked for him, Kuzma and IT smiling each other especially on that IT crossover on Jokic, etc.
This is really nice to see compared to just a week ago. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

I don’t like IT attitude or interviewing skills but he’s one hell of a sixth man that I wouldn’t mind bringing back in that role. IT and brook are looking great lately |

No one has good chemistry on the cavs. That team is a locker room nightmare. And how did that come about: ...... GM lebron james. _________________ Kobe |

That’s the same play Kuz hurt his ankle. He was walking it off in pain |

Imagine if we win out and sneak into the playoffs because of this. Heck, if we win out the rest of the regular season I'm calling banner #17. _________________

Two mambas are always going to clash due to their playing style and mentalities. It was clear to me after IT joined the team that Kuz deliberately started to focus on defense and rebounding at the expense of his offense. As a scorer (not just a finisher) I think this took him out of his rhythm which accounted for all those games where he looked horrible.
That's just the dynamic when you bring in a ball dominant player like IT, the finishers will flourish, while the other scorers will see a drop-off. Given our team offensive numbers have exploded since IT joined the team, it's just something that Luke and Kuz will have to manage. |

Lebron making teammates biggest myth in sports. Look at IT, Wade, Crowder after leaving Bron ball |

I think IT should be kept for a reasonable price. You can’t replace his moxie, attitude and confidence and he’s getting healthier. Having him and PG to close glands and make big shots is invaluable. _________________ You mystified at what exists inside

Maybe the stupid people calling him a midget and chemistry killer can climb back under the rock where they came from.
The truth is simple with IT. Boston screwed him by trading him after what he did for them last year and into the playoffs (though I get it, they got Irving). Then he goes to Cavs hurt, and they screwed him by never giving him a chance to get right.
Now he is with the Lakers and they are all treating him like he should have been treated all along.
I, like many, am rooting for IT. I think a game like yesterday, you can see the fire in him. He's 1000 times tougher than Clarkson or Russell or whoever else you put as a guard on this team. He's fearless.
I am thankful the Lakers are giving him a chance to shine and maybe it works out and he find a home here.
I am a little indifferent about LeBron. Though I would like Paul George, I don't know if we need the circus of LeBron. Will he make the players better or just himself? I like the team, and the chemistry right now. Its the best basketball the team has played in almost 8+ years. |

They'll be back as soon as he has a lacklustre game. You can count on it. |

Kuzma last 4 games : 18.5 pts (58% TS). Seems like the problem (if there was any) is solved... |

IT's a gamer no doubt. Problem is he sort of came to the Lakers at probably the worst time if their 2 max FA fruition comes to pass. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Lonzo / IT
George / Hart
Ingram / Kuzma
Randle / Robinson
Lopez / Zubac
That's probably with enough capspace to sign another high level player as well. I think I prefer that way more than LeBron. Maybe sign Noel as a rim protector with it or something along those lines and that team looks really really good. |
