    Yeah when Kuzma get's hot, he's really fun to watch. I just wish he was more consistent with his shooting.

    I wouldn't say Tatum is "leagues better" but he is a better player + 3 years younger

    Alright I'm going to stop hating on the kid. Realized we need all of the kids to flourish into valuable assets, whether we trade them or not. Hopping on Kuzmania a year late I guess.

    Hit several key buckets in s nice game overall. Out played the Chosen One Tatum.

    Can’t lie, I want our young guys to play well, shut up the national media and make the Pelicans regret their decision.

    No reason to hate on Kuzma. He has played well in his short career. Needs to improve on D but plays through pain and injury and is young as hell. Props to him. If he works hard to continue to get better year in and year out, he will be a star in this league.

    The big shot in the final minutes. Gotta love that mentality.

    Kuz even after the game on the previous possessions was telling him that if shot got a look he'd make it and sure enough he did. that's what that smiling and laughing was about when Tatum and Kuz were standing together right before Kyrie put the C's up by one in those final seconds.

    He’s good, was hoping he could have gotten a new career high, but 39, 27 in the 1st half, was pretty nice.

    Ahole team didnt do s*** for an entire 48 min game on defense. He would have hit 50 if the game was closer.

    I dunno. We have a good team. Good players, good system. Good enough we'll make a great series against any team in the West. Something just doesn't add up well that prevents us from making a true run at it. Maybe because of injuries. Or coaching or LeBron or a combination of two or all. I'm perplexed.

    Anyway, Kuzma and another year. All we can do is hope from a distance he and the team tap that potential of being legit good.

    Looked like he was going for Kobe's 81 for a second there.

    There is no system. That's what 3 point era does. Creates chuckers. That's it.

    We have to keep this kid at all cost, IMO. It will be hard, but he's worth it.

    We're thin.

    We are only about 9 or 10 players deep, so when we have injuries to Hart, and Zo, we have to play Muskala, and Mo, and/or play people out of optimal position, like today with LeBron running point for the starters.

    We're really good when we have everyone healthy, but I'm not sure that's going to happen this year.
