Bron not really looking for his shot. Wish he was a bit more aggressive right now, especially with Kawhi out.

Ugly first quarter.

Bron's handle is looking really shaky

Bron's handle seems off

Kuzma is so bad....

Most encouraging development is that the Lakers did really well when LeBron sat. AD dominated.

I don't think Lebron's made a jumper yet in the bubble.

AD looks fantastic however, very good to see that. Rondo being out has been a massive positive as well, we can only hope that Vogel keeps him glued to the bench even when he comes back from the broken hand.

Kuzma ain't bad. He's just a bench puncher. He can come in and provide quick points if he's hot. If he's not, he'll hurt the team. I just don't think he is a guy you can play all the time. Gotta choose the right timing with him. Kind of like JR Smith.

I don’t know, to me, you’re describing a Jamal Crawford type of player that just shoots worse. JR at least can play within an offense and understands his role usually (spotting up), Kuz dribbles too much, stops ball movement, and takes rushed shots. He needs to improve a lot more.

Bron waking up. Controlling everything this quarter

Yeah maybe your comparison is more accurate.

Give him time. That sort of thing comes with experience. His leaders (LBJ, AD and Vogel) have to be patient but make him have the right approach.

Kuzma is skilled and still has time to turn into a very good role/bench player.

I can’t remember one jumper from him. Very concerning.

Can't play Kuz, JR and Dion together

Greyhound · Post #235 » by **Greyhound** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:15 am

The Clippers are hunting Kuzma on switches.

toodles23 · Post #236 » by **toodles23** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:18 am

Playing JR, Dion, and Kuzma at the same time is pretty questionable. Too many boneheads.

Greyhound · Post #237 » by **Greyhound** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:18 am

Bubble LeBron cannot shoot from anywhere beyond five feet. The Lakers are toast if that holds true (like 2015).

Lebron getting no calls again, kawhi legit put his whole hand on him a few min ago on the drive and then they got the call wrong on who it was off of

And then the clips allow Reggie and Kawhi to just hook or bounce into our bigs and get calls

This league has such poor officiating

Yet he’s played surprisingly good defense imo, save for the foul on Kawhis shot

dcstanley · Post #240 » by **dcstanley** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:33 am

Shooting is still a question mark
