Havnt read every page, it's probably been mentioned. Seemed lime the Lakers came out focusing on Moose. Covered every pick and slip and pick and roll heavy on him, guess they knew we would come out trying to use our new toy. All good, it left other guys more open for shots. He didn't look good but back to back start after being out for a period with an injury, I ain't worried.

A guy on the GB said it best, "Lonzo is just Kendall Marshall with Great Marketing".

Also after Lonzo walked away from his team while they were scuffelin when on the bench afterward he was sitting next to that bitch kcp, and the look he gave him seemed to be one of disgust. I sense their personalities aren't meshing.

I read through the Lakers Game Thread. They saw it all too and dont like it.

The Game Thread on the GB has been putting Ball on blast for it as well ( :wink:

).

Welcome back Tyler Ulis! Long time no see.

Dragan showing more emotion/asserting himself is my favourite thing from the last few games.

Refreshing win, it feels good to win the Lakers on the road.

Booker played a fantastic game. He is an All Star already in my Book. They guy had a cold, and it was for real because he made an interview on the radio and I swear you that his voice wasn't the same that usually is.

He was tremendous shooting the ball and breaking their defense, I love that he is capable of playing great with or without the ball.
Defensively he was good. He wanted to defend Kuzma when he was on fire, and he stopped him on a drive that made Kuzma a little more hesitant after that. That was a key moment in the game IMO, we were up only by few points. He has that STAR's mentality in him.

Len was great tonight. He crashed the boards really hard and he finished in the paint. It's all about consistency with him. I know that he can't play like that every game, but hopefully he builds confidence after this game. We will see.

Ulis was our Ulis tonight. Happy for him. He was all over the floor pressing Ball/Ennis and he was rock solid on offense. 15p and 7a, that's what we want from him. He is a good backup in this league, I am pretty sure about that, but we are asking him for too much as a starter being 21 years old.

TJ didn't play his best game, but he made all the little things that we needed to win this game.

He has improved his passing in the last few games (3, 3 and 4 assists in the last three games) because teams are closing the paint when he catches the ball and he is creating spacing with just his reputation. That's a weapon. He is not getting greedy and he is passing the ball when he doesn't have a good shot, that's great to see.

Bender played a good game offensively, we needed his points on that second unit. Defensively he couldn't handle Kuzma, but overall I am fine with his game.

We can win the next one, let's go against the Bulls. Two in a row baby, make it happen!

Monroe was just a bad matchup vs the Lakers with their quickness and the Suns didn't even really try to look for him much.

I really hope they can do an inside out combo to free up some of our shots from outside.

He is one of the smoothest moving players I have ever seen.

Josh Jackson had 89 DRtg this game.

Not surprised by Lonzo Ball.

Overbearing dad leads to the kid having to make decisions every week to either fight back or disengage.

He is the most hyped deferrer of responsibility in NBA in terms of both playing style and character.

I think lonzo will be fine once he gets some weapons along side of him and a hid his confidence back. Desevedly so, It's pretty clear NBA players are targeting him because of his dad.

garrick · Post #180 » by **garrick** » Sun Nov 19, 2017 6:30 am

His dad needs to STFU and stop putting even more pressure on Lonzo, last season Ingram looked like a bust shooting poorly but there wasn't a lot of media hype surrounding him at least not to the extent that Lonzo has.
