    I almost always disagree with those two knuckleheads. Of course he needs to be able to shoot the 3 ball. Every guard in today's NBA needs to shoot the 3. But to say he doesn't fit with the team or LeBron is simply idiotic.

    Not true. His shot is coming from at least some spots on the floor and direction moving .... from a little bit more toward in front of face than completely off the left shoulder. And his wrist and fingers release is just popping now from the clips we have seen. Maybe the best rotation on the ball on the entire team? That's good stuff for sure. Just one game last night. And his head / confidence factors in as well, but he has improved the mechanics definitely.

    Yeah certainly. Again, one game. No one's shot was dropping. Can say the same of the whole team.

    Tatum was there at 2 and we passed... No ifs or buts. It was a mistake to pass on him.

    Would we complain about him too? You're 100% right. But his game isn't hopelessly broken like Lonzos game.

    If Lonzo can't shoot (and he can't) he is not going to be a core player. He just isn't.

    It's easy to sit here in the aftermath and say it was false. It's not easy to pick right, it takes luck. But it doesn't mean that someone can't admit that it was indeed a mistake.

    I didn’t know you could declare a player’s game hopelessly broken at age 21, but ok. Agree to disagree, I think Lonzo is very good, and is going to be very, very good in time.

    Well, KB24 once said, that windows phone will be bigger/better than iOS and Android. Let's hope he's wrong about Lonzo as well ;)

    Finally! We FINALLY will have the most "talented" point guard starting for us.

    Too bad he's hopelessly broken. Might as well start Caruso.

    I never said it's going to be bigger. I always said better and it was imo from a design and technical stqndpoint. It just didn't get dev support so it lacked the apps.

    Also it is hard to change people's preferences and tendencies when you are late to the game.

    As for Lonzo, I hope I'm wrong. We'll see.

    OK there happened to be 2 three point shots from Ball that lined up with elevated camera angle directly behind him. The very first one he took and then one late in the game. Clearly showed his motion has moved more toward in front of his face, and as mentioned his wrist and fingers release is looking great. He really has modified that sucker already for going forward and is not hesitant to shoot it. Promising!
