That was up there with one of the worst defensive game I've ever seen. But I'm not gonna hate a 19 year old kid almost dropping a triple double in his 2nd game. But the Bulls got legit competition in the Suns for tanking.

Ahh yes. Zo is now ushering in a new era of showtime and the haters can't stand it. You'll notice how they won't say anything on this thread or they will say this.

"Well it's the Suns."

Pretty sure Eric Bledsoe is known as a good defender, and studied under Chris Paul? Hmmmm

He is so awkward, yet far more effective than you would think. It's really weird to watch.

All the Lonzo haters mouthing off after the last game make me laugh. "Welcome to the NBA" they said. "Thanks. I'm loving it", Lonzo responds.

Lonzo sucks first game of SL- Haters say told you so
Lonzo wins SL MVP- Haters say do it against NBA players
Lonzo gets shut down by Beverley- Haters say told you so
Lonzo bounces back with a stunning game- Haters say it was against the Suns

Dont hate the player. Hate the game.

It's a shame a lot of people are blinded by Lavar Ball's antics, because they are missing out on watching a really special player.

How many shots did he take to score that?

We already have a rookie thread. There was no need to create this one.

Lmao at anyone saying it's only one game or he's getting too much hype after the abuse he got after the Clippers game.

But Lavar Ball is going to ruin his career. :lol:

He should have had 37-40 points this game, so there's room for improvement. He was a little too tentative on 4 of his drives which led to bad shots or TOs without foul shots. He'll get used to contact in the lane.
