Kobe said Lonzo Ball needs to get better NOW!!!!
:meloohhh:

Also said Kuzma has to get better now and Randle.

“Even when Shaq and I first came here, there was still patience. Shaq still had to grow up, he was extremely young. I still had to grow up. We had a lot of the pieces around that had to grow up. Now, it seemed like it was easier then, because it seemed like we were a contender right off the bat. Van Exel, Eddie Jones and Shaq. But that wasn’t the reality. It took us years to get there. The only difference was we were a contending team. Never won anything, but we were a contending team. This team here is not a contending team, they haven’t won anything. It’s the same damn thing. So, patience has to be required. That day will come. These young players will grow, and then everybody will look up and marvel at the amount of talent we have.”

“No, not for [Lonzo Ball]. He needs to get better now. Kuzma, better now. Randle, better now. Players, you want that now. We never thought, ‘OK, we’re going to win four years from now. We really thought this is our year. We’re going to get this done. We’re going to push, push, push, push, push to get better now.’ And in the process of having that impatience, you develop. If you’re just patiently going about it, you’ll never get there. For players, it’s kind of patient impatience.”

He was just saying they shouldn't just think everything will be given to them in the future and they got show some desire and urgency in the present if they want to get where they want to be in the future.

It's going to be misquoted as all hell, like you just did though. :mjlol:

huge win moving forward, I wonder if Jimmy even signs back to Minny after next season. wouldnt shock me if he dipped
I called Bulls win/Wolves lost when the trade went down and nikkas said I was crazy.

The Wolves needed shooting and they needed a 4. Markannen will be one of the best shooting bigs ever.

Dunn could have took over for Rubio he just needs more reps and he’s finally turning the corner dude was a top 5 pick. Great defender. They gave Jeff Teague a big ass deal. Thibs went win now when Wiggins and Towns are still young.

LaVine and Wiggins was scary athletically and LaVine was a efficient high volume three point option.

All this for Jimmy Butler who operates on the same spots on the floor as Wiggins.

The problem isn't the win now moves. It could have been a win win move. It still can be. But they need consistent defense from Wiggins and in particular Towns if they ever want to be anything.

Nah we're getting killed in our backcourt.

CJ and Dame can't defend to save their lives. So we can't get stops. Scoring has never been the problem. Getting the stops during the final minutes.

Our wings aren't getting scorched on defense.


@Gil Scott-Heroin can you drop some stats on how many points the blazers backcourt gives up on average.....

If it's like 50+ then there's your answer.
Ya'll played good defense last night.

Harden was just in God Mode. Its happened to better teams. Ya'll are good. That white boy Leanord on your team might be the truth in a few years.
