Which is what i said they needed earlier in the year..
We actually needed someone like Bogut. We actually have Bryant who is similar and can shoot but nikkas don't want him in the game.
We need a REAL center. I don't hate Lopez as much as you cats do but we need a big body thats going to do the dirty work, set screens, play intellgently, and play with energy on defense. Nance is too small for the center position and so is Randle tbh... And we all know Randle is about to kick rocks especially with his trash defense as of late.
Which is crazy to me because he's getting what he wants.. He's starting at center, getting his minutes, getting his stats, etc.
Now that he's done that dude done completely stop giving a fukk about the team (like I said he would)
KCP is the biggest dissapointment to me imo. I don't know if its him being in jail and shyt but dudes defense hasn't been what we thought and his shooting and shot selection has actually gotten worse. Dude has given up completely. Josh Hart is actually a better look just young af and inexperienced.
Only people playing hard on both sides is our rookies. Everybody except Ingram either need to decide to get with the program or get tf off the floor/team.
I think Lonzo, Luke, and a couple others even said it last niggt post game interview.. They got to let the defense roll into offense not offense roll into defense. If cats aint getting theirs on offense they quit doing the little shyt that gets them wins, then they give up on defense and effort.
And then you can't be an undersized team that doesn't play smart/swarming defense and doesn't run the floor EVERY CHANCE they get.
As far as Kuzma goes, I think his legs are shot atm (rookie wall) but I also think he's coming back down to earth. Dude is not a leading option at least not yet. Everybody started dikkriding him about being the "best rookie" but Dude is a complimentary player and potential starter but he's not the hype everyone claimed he would be. If he's not scoring the ball then he seems useless on the court.

Man you had dudes wanting to give the keys of the franchise to Kuz before he played a regular season game lol. Dudes were hyping him up like crazy. But if you really look at his game at the moment he's just a gunner/scorer at the moment. Dudes saw his scoring and just went crazy with the hype.

I actually liked SL Kuzma better, not the wannabe Kobe Kuzma that fell into the hype and dikkriding.
SL Kuz just made smart, efficient plays, ran the floor like a gazelle, made the extra passes, played hard on defense, etc.
Ever since he got around the tank squad, hes fallen into the "next Kobe" hype by the media and dude has literally just become a gunner foreal
I never fell into the Kuzma hype.
And y'all know me, if I fukk with a dude(pause), I'm gonna make a thread about it. Even @Malta was like
when you making a thread, I said when I believe it.
I learned from stanning Clarkson his first two years. Kuzma is better and more versatile than Clarkson but he's gonna need to provide more than scoring. If his shot is off, he's as useless as Clarkson. But one thing about Kuz, his work ethic > hollywood ass Clarkson so I still have hope for him. But I feel like we should sell high and try to use him to get a Boogie or PG. I don't give a fukk if both of them are FAs, lets take a shot and see what happens.

I'm willing to give Kuzma the benefit of the doubt for a while. Luke had him playing with Clarkson and Randle off the bench most of the season. For a late first round pick who not much was expected of (and he really had to prove himself), to be thrown into action with those two dominating shots/possession most of the time you're on the floor, you're gonna pick up bad habits.

I agree about the picking up bad habits.
Im not ready to bush him at all, He's a rook. I'm sure he's tired af as well... I just saw this coming from him
But he has to stop with those habits and learn to contribute more ways on the floor when he's not scoring or shooting well.

Kuzma needs to work on two things (ball handling, and defense). If he works on his dribbling, it will just make it that easier for him to attack the rim, but right now it's very limited and he can't get past defenders. He got nice moves though like the spin move and he can do that euro step. And his defense is just
but he works hard so hopefully he improves.

Tonight is a must win game
If we lose to the Hawks at home that would be 10 straight losses (tied for most in franchise history) and we would officially have the worst record in the league.
