zero, ZERO rebounds for a 7 footer, what on earth.

Yes. And it always bothered me that they ignore pretty brutally obvious fouls just because it's in the last seconds, so I was thrilled but also surprised that they did the right thing. It was an obvious foul and I'm happy they called it, for once.

Hoping that's a changing culture for the long term. The new refs suck for the most part, though.

So did Randle get benched last night? It looked like the coaches were pretty mad at him at one point about his defensive rotation, or lack thereof, and then I didn't see him on the court again until the very end of the game.

If I were to describe Randle in one sentence I would say he has million dollar talent and a ten cent brain. He really has no court sense or BBIQ. If I see him hanging around the backcourt looking for someone to inbound the ball directly to him after a made basket one more time I'm gonna break something. Get your ass down the court, maybe try running a bit while you're at it. Don't understand why the coaching staff allows him to do this. He literally does it all the time. Other team scores and Lonzo, KCP and Randle stand around asking for the inbound pass. NO reason for anyone other than Lonzo to be standing there.

It depends on matchups. The man was hot, had 27 points, hit the game winning freethrows. No need for 2 guys crowded in the lane. Some nights randle has the matchup. Some nights Lopez. Just depends.

Mugsey bogues would out rebound him even if he did have trex arms

Damn didn't feel like we won the game it was weird.

I want Lonzo to be more aggressive offensively. I feel when we have that we are a more productive team. and I think the more he takes shots the more confidence he gets and the more consistent he becomes an NBA scorer.

Lopez what a game if we keep riding him and giving him the ball in the post this is the kind of player we are going to have. we can pay him man. this guy can get buckets if you keep him engaged in the offense.

Lonzo's playing a lot of off ball. I think when he's initiating the offense it's better then him just standing in the corner getting the ball trying to figure out what to do. but hey it worked this game. Isiah was running the offense finding guys and got Lopez a great game.
