hows his jumper looking?

I watched about 10 minutes, two scores I saw were under the basket, one from off ball (Fox too quick for the defence) other contested lay up, his shot blocked, he grabs again and finishes. Also had a nice pass from near half court to open man under the basket. So to answer your question haven’t seen his jumper

but his speed translates and he’s shown good awareness

I was also confused by that replay. I thought you cannot go to the replay to determine if a foul was made. There was no foul called on the floor before the replay, right?

i think the refs initially went to the replay to see who touched the ball last but then the trash from the replay center in secaucus nj intervened and told the refs to call a foul on george hill, who, barely touched gordon. it was a bs call, one of the worst i've ever seen

I like the new home Timberwolves uniforms, but the aways that they wore last night kinda struck me as a generic AAU uniform. Didn't like them.

Spoiler:

These are pretty clean, though:

So Lin is out again. Time to give them Bayless and Okafor?

Also I’m glad Cleveland has their pick instead of Boston. Minus Lin BKN is almost certainly a bottom 5 team. Which pushes the Lakers up. 8-)

How long until the vultures start circling New Orleans?

Porzingis will have to carry this Knicks offense all year.

I can't wait to see Patrick on Ball.

'How you doing man, I'm right here.'

I like a lot of players in that picture. The Clippers interest me. I don't think they'll be as bad, post-Paul, as most think.

Please let Lonzo suck tonight. Great set-up after DLo’s 30 points last night. Will be very entertAining to read LAL board

Well I do think, Pat won't give Ball 4 cents back from a nickel tonight.

Flip a coin on who wins, but I'm staying awake for it.

Jerami Grant looks huge out there. Probably a legit 225 now.

Lonzo won’t suck. He and Kuzma will ball out and beat the Clippers. The clippers don’t have enough big ballers. Ball doesn’t do one on one. He’s not going to get into any personal matchups even if Beverly is in his jersey giving him a hard time. Lonzo will Kat the game down to him. If ballers don’t wilt to the pressure.

Here’s the thing. Ball needs to breakdown the d because he’s playing with a bunch of role players (think what ish smith). His UCLA style of pass-pass-pass will work if he plays with superior players when everyone is a whenever they’re on court.

Making the team better on offense is pretty much how good you are in making an average joe a threat or a better threat on the court. Transition is easy, but on halfcourt you need to find ways to suck in the defense.

LAL fans complains the lack of shooters. Maybe the shooters aren’t getting good looks.

I want Lonzo to be a star. Can’t stand his dad, but love his game.

I think that he and Simmons are the most likely to battle for ROY. Smith is right behind those two.

I find LAL fans to be cool. But I just find their reactions entertaining after the big shift with their franchise winnability.
