    Seems to be a sociatial issue with people. Bill O'Reilly perfected it. People need to learn to shut the f*** up when others are talking in general.

    I mean I just don't ever recall my eyes being caught by the wrist and fingers of a shooter like they are now with Lonzo's. It just snaps and takes your eye to it as you see it happen. That spin!

    The fluidity of Ingram's shot...make or miss, I love it

    Yeah... I am doubtful Lance's gonna do much better than his last year's 29%. May be 32% if we are lucky.

    Can't shoot. Afraid to shoot. That 39% from deep was misleading.

    Maybe if he's out there with Svi, Kuz, Rondo & Beas.. He'll get a lot of open looks...??

    I truly believe the Lakers got Lance to get Draymond Green ejected when they play in the playoffs.

    My Take on Last night's game:

    We played a lot better (at least the starters did) then I thought we would. As Luke said in his post game press conference we did some things really well but didn't do them well enough for long periods of time. That continuity will come with the players as they play more with each other. Luke said after the game don't look at the lineups used as what is going to be set in stone a lot of testing and figuring out needs to happen.

    I rewatched most of the game afterwards and we gave up so many offensive rebounds by just not being quick enough to the ball as it bounced on the floor. Way too many fouls called, which I knew was going to happen. I had watched a few pre-season games on Friday and Saturday and teams just aren't used to the new freedom of movement emphasis that league is putting into effect.

    One thing I thought was very clear is this:


    Lonzo being back is really going to help in that area of having another Playmaker that can be on the court helping facilitate the offense. Last night when both Rondo and Lebron were off the court the ball was not moving at all or enough to cause the defense to work.

    All in all, I'm encouraged and I'm glad that we're playing the same Nuggets team on Tuesday so that we can have something to compare with and if we improved in more areas. Win or lose I just wanted to see some improvement and that continuity to develop.

    Javale was the MVP last night. Not the best player, but had the hugest impact on the court on offense and defense.

    We better hope Mo can play cause Zu is garbage. Looked like a less athletic Kwame.

    Beaten to death already but worth repeating. Lebron, Rondo, or Lonzo must be on the court at all times. I'd like to see all three together at times.

    Ingram was very impressive, but I hope his work on his jumper proves better results than last night. Yuck.

    KCP sucked. He will have hot shooting nights but imo, I preferred seeing lance out there, who wasn't that impressive either. Hate KCP.

    Entertaining first three quarters. Fourth quarter, yikes. They better keep working on that D because they weren't closing out on three point shooters at all.

    It was exciting to see the opening squad and they all did well except for KCP who laid a big old goose egg. He better show us something and do it soon.

    I agree the D needs some work but when I rewatched the game that 1st half they did hit some tough contested shots, especially Malik Beasley.

    Is Love better than Zubac ?
    Steven A Smith mentioned there's possible trade for Kevin Love if things don't work out

    I don't know, they made Hernangomez look like a freaking All Star. Last year we played pretty darned good D, and I'd like to see us at least stay at that level if not improve. Looked a lot worse to me. This is perhaps where Randle's ability to switch will be missed. Of course, Lonzo actually playing should help.

    I didn't say anything about defending Hernangomez well. I said that Malik Beasley hit some contested shots
