Just finished the game:whew:

Had to pause the game for that Wilder fight:ohlawd:

When I went to resume I knew the Lakers made a run based on how long the game took to end. So I knew a run was coming, but boy did not see Zo dominating like that. Now teams gotta respect that shot. Zo bout to cause so much havoc in the paint. Whether it’s scoring or passing shyt is about to so fun to watch

The Lakers need to get some skill coaches to develop Lonzo's driving and pull up game in the summer and the boy is set. :wow:

Just developing a floater around the paint area this summer will make a big difference already now that he’s back how he was shooting from the 3 in UCLA

When that mid range comes along in a couple of seasons then this kid is gonna be problem for defenses

Y'all think there's a realistic chance of a playoff push? It's crazy to think that if it weren't that big slump we'd be in the playoff race.

His numbers don't really pop out (well, his rebounds and fg% kinda do for different reasons haha) but Lonzo just has that "it" factor, if you're not watching the games or reading about how his peers view him (very favorably) you won't understand his impact. And Ingram really is a KD lite, I don't believe he's the most important player on the team but he is the guy to build around if we don't land PG or Kawhi and even if we do he's so young he definitely has next if he's still playing for us in a couple of years.

Most excited I've been about the Lakers future since the letdown that was the 2012 off-season.

I'm so happy to finally see this team trending upwards again. Been so long since they've been competitive and winning. :mjcry:

The guys have completely bought into Luke and it's showing with their play. Their schedule is pretty tough down the stretch, but I hope they close out the season strong. If they somehow finish at .500 that would be a MAJOR win heading into the offseason. They'd be a free agent destination again.
