    Ya they are sitting

    Chandler
    Knight
    Bledsoe
    Warren

    like 4 of their 5 best players. They are in full tank mode and I'm worried we win a few home games knowing they just won't win anything.

    I generally don't care about college sports too much and am cynical about a lot of prospects. But I guess I'm biased as a UCLA alumni because I am super hyped about their game tomorrow and I'm really rooting for Lonzo. You can nitpick at aspects of his game, but he's a kid so of course he's gonna have some issues. But I just feel something special about him when I watch him play.

    I'm guessing that a lot of us on this board have some kind of attachment to Southern California. How great of a story would it be for this kid from Chino Hills to bring UCLA back to relevance by leading them to a championship in his freshman year, and then get drafted #1 overall by the Lakers where he eventually grows into a core member of the next Laker championship team alongside D'angelo and Ingram.

    I'm not even gonna lie, I hated the guy after reading Twitter headlines of paraphrased quotes from him, but after watching him on First Take, I think he's awesome! Him and Stephen A going back and forth was hilarious, it was almost like watching a WWE promo where both guys are obviously just being over the top for the entertainment aspect, but it's enjoyable because they're having fun with it.

    He's a nut for sure. Harmless, and enjoying his 20 seconds - but I don't think he'll ever want to give it up. Can't say there is a precedent for this kind of guy in such a unique position. He's got Stephen A, Charles Barkley, and Lebron responding to him, so his outlandish form of marketing is working. A month ago pretty much nobody knew who LaVar Ball was...

    They're schedule is a lot easier to get wins so we have that going for us. I've brought it up before but I'm worried about our last game of the season against the GSW because I could see them sitting all their guys.

    Maybe Luke and the players should start talking mad s*** on them right now so they play Steph, Klay, Donkey and Durant 40 minutes. Call them cowards for not facing them, etc.

    There you go call em out for being afraid that our young guys will even up the season series and embarrass them with their A-team playing.

    Or have Russell tell Draymond that he never sticks up for his players

    I've watched two minutes of this UCLA game tonight. We have to get Ball. He has star written all over him.

    I seriously wonder if his pops is spewing this to scare teams away at the top just in case the Lakers pick #2 or #3.

    His court vision and control of the offense are outstanding, as is his unselfishness, he's a true PG. He has weaknesses on defense, not the biggest guy strength wise, but there is definitely star potential there because of his feel for the game. What stands out is that he puts his stamp on the game, imposes his will on it, without necessarily having the ball in his hands for long periods of time.

    I'm really liking Leaf as well. Doubt he's available at the Houston pick though.

    When it comes to Ball, I'm like Jerry West: "I've seen enough."

    12 mins left in the game, Ball needs to start impacting the game. Fox is outplaying him.

    I'm really really sick of Lavar Ball.

    Wasn't exactly blown away by his son's tournament performance either to be honest.
