This is Kyle Kuzma's team. :wow:
Nah it should still be Zo's


But Randle got to kick rocks now. Dude is a pain in the ass to play with you can see it on Zo's face.

So is Ingram honestly.. None of these older dudes know how to move the ball or read shyt. Zo was open for an easy alley and didn't get the ball because Ingram couldn't see the play developing until it was too late. They so used to that dribble dribble iso bullshyt in the starting lineup that its honestly making things look like shyt for Zo. They are ball stoppers foreal...

Randle was just concerned with his stats which is why this nikka was forcing every single thing to get that double double.

Then he tried that dumb shyt with Faried in the end when it was completely uncalled for. Dudes +/- was trash

Kuzma has a great skillset, I more worry about him getting worked on D.

But as far as playing with Zo he is by far the most intelligent big.

I don't understand how Zo and Kuzma don't get more minutes.

Luke has been disappointing.

Randle is talented but he makes so many mistakes that it just ruins whatever positive he does.

Our halfcourt offense is horrible, I hope Brook Lopez improves that.

2nd unit is pretty bad too outside of Kuzma. Clarkson has been the most disappointing guy..this guy is playing his worst basketball that he ever has. He just looks like he doesn't know how to play, his one strength which was to chuck and get buckets..he is pretty bad at that too now.

Ingram's jumper needs to improve right away, I just hope its the preseason rust and not the whole year like last season.

I know it's early but I miss DLO. Yeah he wasn't a "pass first" point guard but I miss his scoring. Hoping Ball will be more aggressive trying to score next game.

After Luke's comments tonights after the game praising Randle, I doubt it.
I thought it was just lip service because he was put on the spot......

Lakers maybe working on moving him as we speak.....
I mean access Lakers seemed pretty phony when they were talking about randle's performance as well. Could just be boosting his stock for a trade..

I hope so

Now that I think about it him and Ball wouldve complimented each other because at least D-Lo could score without the ball and pass too (because Zo can as well)

That defense wouldve been atrocious though

Ingram just isn't good to me.
I honestly think theure using him wrong. Dudes game just doesn't scream "go-to" player to me... More like roleplayer.

He would be really nice if he focused more on defense and got his shyt more off ball movement.
