Zo Time!  |
Stop jacking up so many threes & concentrate in scoring in other ways (eight shots is too much for a guard unless your name is Curry or Harden) |
He has to take that shot if teams continue to sit in the paint and go under the screens. Plus 3 or 4 of those 8 were at the end of the clock. He turned down a lot of open looks because his confidence is down again. Hopefully he hits that first one tonight and his shot is feeling good. |

| The Heat surprisingly have more key players injured than we do, this should hopefully be a win. |

My confidence would be down too if Shaq could shoot free throws at a better percentage than me. No excuses, work on your shot Lonzo! |

Lakers will be wearing black tonight.

(bleep), I hope that doesn't mean any more Nike shenanigans regarding our jerseys.
Gold at Staples
Purple on the road
White on sundays
Keep it simple, ffs |

Normally I'd complain about the uniform thing too, but we've been badass in our Black Kobe Jerseys. Just in the same manner as we've sucked like little bitty babies in the baby blue 'throwback' jerseys.
Black jerseys tonight instead of gold? I can live with it for now, if it means we demolish Miami. |

Stop jacking up so many threes & concentrate in scoring in other ways (eight shots is too much for a guard unless your name is Curry or Harden) |
I agree with you on that first part but only Curry & Harden?! What about CP3, Wall, Lillard, Westbrook, Kyrie, etc? They should all be limited to 8?
Zo...man I’ve never seen a guard struggle to so much to score. Like when he fires off a shot I can already hear the clank. Then he’s not even being smart and attacking like Simmons (probably because he can’t even make free throws).
He’s been a pleasant surprise defensively but shooting under 40% from the field and from 3 is disgusting |

This has got to be corrected. The kid has a lot of work to do this summer. But I'm sure that he will put in the work. |

| Serious question.. Why do some of you want Lebron James next year? Granted hes a great player, but unlike Kobe he keeps jumping teams why cant he just stay loyal and stay with a team like Cle. I mean look at their record and they are losing with a decent supporting cast. So i just dont get it.. |
