If you watch the games lonzo doesnt even act like a point guard most of the time he a bonifide spot up shooter. and when lonzo is on the floor someone else has the ball his usage rate is like 0. Team must see something in practice idk.... If Lonzo were as good as people say then he wouldn't have his minutes constantly fukked with :yeshrug:
That’s cause he don’t pound the ball. He used to quick decisions and ball movement. He would be a monster on the warriors or spurs.

Zo is not going to stay on the floor unless he's shooting a high percentage and he takes maybe 10 shots a game. Unlike Kuzma, Ingram, or LeBron he really does not try to shoot himself into a rhythm. Frankly, I don't think Walton has the ability or staff to develop young guys. Guys like Kuzma and Hart got coached up in college and Ingram came in with some sort of highly honed offensive skill from the get go.

Btw, I have an issue with how Walton is handling Zo not Rondo particularly. Rondo is comfortable in his skin and a smart guy I really don't think he cares if he plays just over 20 minutes a night if the team is playing good basketball and winning.

Lakers brehs, LeBron is settling for way too many threes:francis:
its not a bad thing...

they need to take more threes to open the floor.. he made 3 of them.. one more and it would have been a a 44% fg shot.

lonzo needs to go 0 in 5 before he goes 0 in 3...

they need more 3s

Damn you’d think we lost looking at this thread. Derrick Rose got hot and hit some contested threes to make it a closer game. Other than that we made plays to put the game away. Clearly Like was more comfortable with Rondo out there with Tyson. Damn y’all are miserable.

The only thing I can think of is they are trying desperately to keep Rondo's trade value high before the deadline. I really do think they view this as a throw away season. We are more invested in this years success than Magic/Rob/Jeannie. But they also have to win games to swing a trade. Its a tough spot to be in as a fan. Zo should be getting 30 minutes a night. Rondo isnt good enough to have Zo sitting on the sideline. He aint Dame Lillard

We all think a LeBron lead team is going to the playoffs. We want the number two pick to be developed. That's part of Luke's job. :yeshrug:

Fell asleep while the game was on :snoop:

What were the bright spots, and who played badly?

How did Tyson play?

And we're not trading Lonzo you fukks
Tyson was solid. Altered lots of shots. Great "contest" on the last shot :troll:
Defending the three was horrendous (20/40) but the paint scoring was limited with lots of blocked/altered shots. And they took less than 10 free throws if im not mistaken

He's not undervalued. He's under-sorry.

Why is that so hard for some of y'all to understand? He not good.

damn

People are pissed because those Derrick Rose threes shouldn't have even mattered if Lakers were handling business on the offensive end. Once again late in the game possessions were wasted and ended with horrible shots that kept the door open for the Twolves to make the comeback.

But the Lakers took the lead to begin with because of getting things done on the offensive end. Derrick Rose hitting three or four straight tough contested threes is something you just have to deal with. The only bad offensive plays people are talking about anyways are the ones where Tyson got the offensive boards and gave us another possession. Also, people sure aren't complaining about the decision to have Tyson in there instead of JaVale. Seems like a good move that paid off, but it won't be talked about because it seems most just want to be mad about Lonzo having an ok game but not playing and LeBron's two shots, even tho he mad several plays that got us the lead in the first place.
