Death, Ingram's 40-point game and Hart/Lonzo combining for 7/12 from 3pt tonight.

Lonzo no shows or gets some phantom sickness/injury

Ingram hasa bad shooting night. HE has excelled this year as a stretch 4 trying to be a poor man Rashard LEwis but them staples lights will make him shrink like his whole career

Hart will be HArt, give up blow by layups, foul a 3 point shooter, miss free throws, and not get high fived

LAkers win

As long as Hart doesn’t try to injure Lebron or AD again, it’s cool.
Would be surprised if Lonzo had back to back good shooting nights, but I’m sure he wants to play well tonight. As does Ingram.

trying to injure others, or, not having a regard to playing carefully to prevent injury to others.. is not a professional mindset.

The last time we played them the "kiddies" didn't show. I assume they will tonight but they have no answers for our size in the paint. If we concentrate on that and put aside the "story" of the game we'll be just fine.

Ingram has been the poster child for great stats on a losing team. He's not affecting the outcome of games, rather he's getting his points because there is on one else to get them. Ball has been typically up and down. He did have a very good game a few games ago.

Ingram is getting his points because of volume and because he’s playing PF now as opposed to SF or SG where his lack of speed and ball handling got exposed. He is essentially doing the Shawn Marion number pop as a stretch 4

He's getting his points because there is no one else who can other than Holiday who has been in and out of the lineup. It will be interesting to see what happens to his number when Zion is there and the focus of the offense along with him.

By efficiency standards he's doing well... but if you watch them the eye test will tell you he's not really effecting games the way his point totals would suggest.

Unless if they knock Favors out the starting 5, his stats will dip with Zion at the 4 and him moved to the 3. Logically Zo gets benched again because his piss poor shooting, lack of half court creation, and the fact his D has been bad this year too.

BI was completely helpless trying to attack when Lebron was on him, Pelicans kept it close cause they were insanely hot. Would be disappointed if the Lakers make it as tough as last time.

With his talent and athleticism he should go at the basket every time..... however with his lack of landing skills I may be persuaded otherwise. This guy hits the floor every other possession.

Lonzo is going to fold under Bradley's ball pressure.

Yo Lonzo's shot somewhat looks normal.

Yeah.... that shot by Ball has had some work. He's no longer coming across his body.

Ball's changed his stroke a little but he still misses everything on seemingly easy shots. Does the kid need glasses?
