Agreed, he was insane last year and really made the Blazers a pretty good team until he got hurt right before the playoffs.

This year he doesn't seem to be the same player, worse on both ends and really not seeming to fit in with the Blazers on offense. He's really the key to that team, maybe they'll figure it out because that roster is talented enough to make it to the 2nd round at least.

He seems a lot slower than i remember as well. Maybe checked out mentally, i don’t know.

Raptors and Blazers are really similar. Two teams with an amazing backcourt. But the difference being the Raptors seem to have found better complimentary players around their backcourt.

We have some new players and a lot of young players so we are trying new things until we find out what works. Murray and Mudiay are also growing into their roles so they are having a up and down season.

Haterz gonna hate. Lonzo is filling up the box score on a nightly basis, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, there’s more to basketball than just scoring.

Ball has been a culture changing presence for the Lakers, just being on the court makes his teammates better, and it’s showing in the Lakers record this year.

it's been mostly Kuzma and Ingram that are shining on this lakers team. What record are u talking about? 6 wins and 9 losses (soon to be 10) is a good record for you? Lakers were 7/5 after 12 games last year...

And the Raptors backcourt actually plays defense. Blazers are really overrated

I'll be disappointed if HOU doesn't play better defense than that. lol Wouldn't be surprising though.

Eh idk DeRozan is a pretty bad defender lol. Lowry's a solid defender, but undersized

After 13 years of losing I'm glad to watch a 50+ win type team. Winning basketball. But that's just me
