The Truth
He misses alot of layups and is a poor FT shooter it's a confidence thing and he also feels disrespected being left wide open so he feels like throwing it up when he shouldnt. He plays like a SG lol rondo the only real PG on the team.
Did you even watch this team last year or are you just saying dumb shyt now?

He looked like a PG last year because he was fukking playing the role of PG... what we brought him into do.

He looks like a SG now because that’s wtf he’s forced to play. The ball is out of his hands 85% of the time... so wtf he’s supposed to do as basically a rookie being forced to take jumpers in the corner

Luka has a team and coach that plays to his strength,

Collin Sexton and Fox are leaders of trash teams now and will be for awhile

Those 30 wins we got last year was because both Lonzo and BI were hurt (and was more than what Fox has last year or D’Snitch had with us the years before).

This new team/offense bullshyt and Luke subbing this nikka after every mistake is what’s stunting his growth in particular. But now he’s fukking with BI’s as well. Zu never plays this good as he had in this stretch and he benched him too...
More excuses. :yawn:

Lonzo was fukking trash last year and LA would have a worse record than Sacramento if LeBron wasn't on the team.

:mjlol:

If Lonzo had the keys, they'd win 30 games again. He has shown no ability to be a consistent shot creator in the half court.

Stop with the he needs time shyt. De'Aaron Fox is ready to go right now. Luka Doncic is ready to go right now. Collin Sexton is ready to go right now. They do not have time to wait for Lonzo to figure it out.

Part of that is the "timing issue"

He probably needed 2 or 3 years of running the show BEFORE LeBron showed up. Bron's his idol so he's not challenging LeBron like he should. He should be pissed that someone controls the ball more than him especially since he's a playmaker for others. He's not mentally there yet to do it.


UNLESS......LeBron commits to being a Malone style PF. More catch and shoot. Less playmaking. More cuts to the basket and grabbing offensive rebounds looking to SCORE.


I'm not sure Fox, Sexton or even Doncic would be ready to roll right now. Those guys are getting real REPS running the show. Ball is being put in a role player's spot.

Ball does need to have the confidence that he's the 2nd best player on the team. However, LeBron may have to alter his game more for Zo to get that confidence.

Wtf does this even mean?

Why did he bring his ass here if he didn’t want to play with this core... to turn this into the shyt show that is Cleveland now?
Lol Lebron expressions tonight were everything that you need to know. Bet he feels like kratos teaching all these youngins. If you don't think lakers are not gonna make trades in the next few months your naive LeGM is undefeated :troll:

He wasn't challenging anyone LAST season. Why do you guys insist on making every excuse in the book for this guy? :mindblown:

How many wins did Fox have last year:mjlol:

But he’s “ready” now when he would be forced to stand and shoot 3’s as a role player as well... which is also not his game

So we wouldn’t have won more games with BI and Zo healthy last year??? Is that what you’re saying as a “Laker Fan”... we didn’t win more games last year then before?

Let me know what excuses am I relaying that aren’t true

You named a few guys, but FACT is most lottery picks (even high ones) aren’t good and/or consistent in their first couple years. There are exceptions of course. Lonzo still has to develop. He’s improving, he just had a bad game.

You was pretty quiet in here when he had a good 4-5 game stretch before this, but as soon as he has a stinker you come in here hating. Very transparent, breh. :comeon:

And who's fault is that on now? why do they trust rondo with the ball and not lonzo? Gotta be a reason...

Lakers won 35 games last year, not 30. And that was with injuries. With Zo they were 24-28 in 52 games, without him they were 11-19. If we had the same team as last year but healthy they'd probably win 45-48 games.

Zo needs to get over this confidence issue though, that shyt is holding him back. Even if he not handling the ball as much that doesn't mean he has to act like a mental midget sometimes.
