i think Stu Lantz was right last night that Zo needs to try and hit some mid range if that 3 ball isn't going in.....he just needs some jumpers to go down to get back that feel.

he shooting more shots, but is more efficient. he's averaging 20/5/5 in 27mpg. he's a plus player. he plays the same but has gotten better. you cant call a dude that shoots 45% on 17 shots a game inconsistent


HE ALSO AVERAGES CLOSE TO
5 TURNOVERS IN 27 MINUTES.. DISGUSTING ASSIST/TURNOVER RATIO. BIGGEST PART OF EFFICIENCY WHEN TALKIN ABOUT A POINT GUARD.

45% IS OK, BUT BAD PERCENTAGE FROM THREE AND FREE THROW LINE CANCELS THAT OUT.

HE DOES AS MUCH GOOD AS HE DOES BAD. WATCH HIM PLAY BRODIE. SO GLAD HE'S NOT HERE.

Do you watch the games? He dies on screens and gives up. It's the same thing he was doing in LA. It's a lack of effort. To say he improved defensively is being disingenuous.

AND U GOT AGGY WHEN I SAID THIS SAME SHIIT A MONTH BACK SMH

So ppl would rather not have a guy putting up 20/5/5 because of his defense?

:mjlol:

EMPTY STATS, INEFFICIENT, INCONSISTENT, HELLA TURNOVERS SO THEM 5 ASSISTS DONT MEAN SHIIT.. AND ITS 4 REBOUNDS.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, GOT RID OF THE FRUTINESS ON OUR TEAM. NO MORE CLOWN SHIIT, ITS CLEAR AS CAN BE. CULTURE SHIFT IN EFFECT THANKS TO THE TRADE.

Our offense would be a little better but defense would be one of the worst in the league with no Brook or KCP. Our record would be worse or same at best.

We can criticize the FO if we don't get a big name this upcoming summer. They deserve it. But if they do get a big name, there is no point for Russell to be here. It's over and ppl need to get over with it. I wish him well with Nets.

Luke needs to limit lonzos minutes and role in the games. Its not helping him cause he has so much he needs to develop skill wise that he cant do that and attempt to be a team leader and have the responsibilities of being a starter. Zo needs to come off the bench so he can work on his game and shot mechanics this year. He can come in and play some quality minutes and just focus on making an impact and being a better player. It would be better to do it now and save face than wait until halfway through the season where they will be forced to do it anyway.

I SAID DANGELO IS THE SAME PLAYER HE WAS AS A ROOKIE N U GOT MAD

:ufdup:

He's not the same player though. Offensively he's better. A lot better. He's also a better playmaker. I like D'Angelo and it's clear as day he's made big time improvement. If we don't get a max FA, I'll be heated but if we do, it was a great trade. So I guess I was right, you did say some hating ass shyt.

The Truth
You do realize the lakers are 5 and 7...they're barely better. :mjlol:

Lakers maintained a .500 record fairly far into the season last year too so if someone like Lopez or Kuzma gets hurt like how Young and Russell got hurt early last year this year gonna be a wrap again
Doesn't matter if they're "barely better"... They're playing tougher teams..

Again... He's gone. Get over it or become a BK fan

D'angelo rookie season even with all the shackles on him>>>>>>>>Lonzo rookie season so far

we traded away a superior player to make room for the inferior player, how was it the right decision?

anyways, on another note, Im glad we finally have our future superstar in Ingram. three #2 picks in a role, something had to give. :whew: That's why I'm not too down with Lonzo's struggles. Kuzma and Ingram's good plays are keeping me from being depressed. :wow:

If he's so superior why does he suck and is the same overrated player with a shyttier record and matador defense?

Like I said... Go root for Brooklyn if yall still on this dudes nuts who's not even on your team???


You had 3 years of losing with trash ass Russell and now crying over 3 weeks of losing 7 games with Lonzo... Who is statistically better than Russell in every way EXCEPT scoring..

FOH with you D.Lo nikkas who still can't get over that his wack, snitching, goofy ass got traded
