Not watching the game but Lonzo has 2 points on 4 shots with zero FT attempts in the third. Can't say I'm surprised. He's a role player hyped up to be a stud.

He’s not looking good at all.

He’s settling for threes and clanking them.

That's because he can't get to the rim.

He is in the NBA now not College. He can't get his shot off with an extended line. He will need to shoot from Steph Curry range to get enough space to get that broken ass release off.

BALL game. Lavar speaks it into existence again lol. Lonzo doesn’t lose twice in the same week lol. Everyone thought Ball was going to get dominated. He actually held his Len and made key plays down the stretch. The Lakers beat the Wizards who the Sixers lost too. The Lakers have a better record than the Sixers. Ball is the calming influence down the stretch and makes good decisions. Ball closes out games.

Lol. You have to be trolling.

Or it's actually Lavar Ball.

Nope. Ball didn’t shoot well at all. He wasn’t having a good game but down the stretch he made winning plays. Ball Ian a winner.

He shot 1-7 and had 4 assists in the fourth quarter and OT.

He had a nice assist to Randle, tho.

He had a big assist to Randle, tho.

And assist to Kuzma and KCP.

Man that's why I want Ball with the Sixers instead of Fultz. Dude knows when to move the ball and make the right play for the team.

KCP’s shot was a well defended contested jumper, it wasn’t a big assist, it was a big shot.

lol if Fultz had that same exact game he'd get killed on here for it.

GTFOH with this nonsense.

Fultz and Ball are different types of players. Fultz scores more. Ball passes better. Ball got his teammates involved and down the stretch made winning plays. Ingram also played well too.

I was listening to a podcast yesteday (i think its the sharpe one).

They talked about the record of the top two pick where there's like 2 only stars in the last 17 years. The rest are mostly busts and role players. 1 of the star is even LMA, so I dont know about that.

Anyway, they say its looking good for the Lakers with Kelle's injury.

I was like.... WTF?! Do these guys watch how Lonzo play? If Lonzo ends up being a star, I think i'd also increase my possibility to make it to the NBA by around 30-40%.

Like, here’s an example - Simmons is standing at top of arc and passes to Covington just off to his side and he makes a contested 3, I don’t give Simmons credit for that (you wouldn’t either)...

It’s an assist, it’s not a great pass by Simmons, it’s a great shot by Covington. I feel like Lonzo gets applauded for **** like that.

I’m also not saying that they both don’t do it, every PG does, but it’s not a great play by them.

Your troll shtick is to greatly exaggerate routine plays for Ball and then nitpick things with Fultz.

The dude made a nice assist or two an overtime game. Sound the trumpets.

Fultz and Ball are different. When fultz passes the ball his teammate has a less challenged shot than Ball (like that spin move then when baynes came to help he drop pass to embiid) because Fultz can attack the rim and shoot (in time), that gives him gravity.

All ball does is make fast passes and take advantage of a defender's natural sagged position. Even TJ and Ish smith can do those.

make enough chest passes at the top of the key and you’re bound to rack up some assists.
