Lol. Please. He’s doing a great job. Take off your anti-Celtics glasses. Kyrie is leading a young team without Hayward. The Celtics are the best team and Kyrie is showing great leadership.

I'm just telling it like it is. Sometimes it takes people a little while to catch up, you'll get there eventually. Give it time.

I think you need to look in the mirror and say that.

It's true that they've played the easiest schedule in the league, but that win at OKC was pretty impressive.

Sixers matchup great with them.

I can't wait to watch them fold, I really don't find their roster impressive and I don't see how they will get stops or big rebounds at the ends of games. They have one guy who I'd consider a good defender on the roster and that's Smart. And no, Horford and Brown are not, that is propaganda by clueless people, so I'll say outright I just ignore that rhetoric going forward, it's not even worth acknowledging.

Also, Horford is a bad shooter, that percentage from 3 will drop dramatically, he will finish the season below 30%.

But yeah, the Sixers match up extremely well. The only thing stopping Embiid from averaging 40 and 20 against them on the season is Joel Embiid. Hope we play them in a playoff series.

Wow! I can't believe they won. They were down 20 last I checked.

My boy Donovan Mitchell looks GOOD.

Fultz needs to get that shoulder right and get back and remind people why he was the #1 pick.....watching Tatum/Mitchell really makes me wonder.

Imagine how much better the Lakers would be if Lonzo wasn't 2 from 12 and shooting 16% from the field :lol:

I mean how does he have a +20 when he only has 4 assists and is shooting 22%. It's not like you can use him as a decoy either because he the opposition literally leave him wide open and dare him to shoot. +/- can be such a useless stat.

Lonzo 2/12 FG 0/2 3FG so far and they said he is a better shooter than Simmons

Luke's probably told by higher ups to make him look good

Refs trying to make this lal nets game dramatic by making it close

Best part of Lonzos game is his afro.

Kuzma looks great

They just gave Lonzo the 2 points Ingram scored... man these Lakers scorers are trying so hard to inflate his awful stats :lol:

Edit: They got called out by the broadcasters on air and then fixed it :lol:

Was wondering why he went from 4 to 3 made field goals.

Lonzo for the second straight night with TJ best +/- of anyone of the floor. He’s getting it. He had a game high plus 22 tonight. People can’t say the team is better with him off the court anymore.

Can until those numbers catch up to the rest of the season. If he was doing anything then I’d accept the positive numbers more willingly, but it just seems like the team plays better the less he has the ball and he benefits from it standing in a corner.

Didn’t watch tonight, but last game it was Brook Lopez post scoring and Clarkson isoing at the top of the key that built his positive +/-. That’s why he didn’t have assists, either.

Well given that heading into tonight the team was like net 17 better with him off the court i feel like they can.

lonzo is probably the worst top 10 pick in this year's draft. his 3 for 15 performance probably dipped his shooting percentage back into the 20s. so glad the sixers passed on him.

Like i said, it's the Lonzo effect. He's an impact player without doing **** on the offensive ends.

Also Kuzma > All Rookies in this draft class. What a steal for the Lakers. In his first start, he dropped 21 points and 13 rebs, shooting 8/11 from the field. This is after dropping 22 pts last night.
