    11 , 4 and 5 first game since the injury. Not bad. Only him and Ingram we're playing good and in the flow of the offense

    Worst +/- in the team by far. Good to see he was out there, but he didn’t play that well.

    13/10/6 and forced the team to play at the tempo they need (should have been playing at all along).

    The kid is a leader. He's going to bring FAs. I don't know if it'll happen this summer, but it'll happen.

    Off the Ball Lonzo is great. Glad Luke is running this more often as I know a lot us were calling for it earlier in the year. Lonzo did a lot of this at UCLA.

    That can't be right. Our coach made an adjustment that was positive? I thought Luke just walked around the locker room crop dusting.

    yeah praise Luke for making an adjustment 30 plus games later after a 9 game losing streak which should have been obvious the first 10 games of the season

    You're just grumpy because you're sore from having to go back to work in the key in your Avi after laying on your a** for so long.

    Hypothetical: Say Zo’s progress is stagnate or mediocre at best next season. And Lavar continues undercutting the Lakers by releasing information that sounds like he received it from Zo. Sort of like Luke’s losing the team talk. And we at least signed PG this offseason.

    Would you be willing to package Zo with Deng by the trade deadline next season?

    I don’t think your hypothetical will happen, but I’ll answer. No. Zo as he is now changes this team, he makes us go. When he’s not in the game we get stagnant. When we went on our run yesterday and went up 20 it was when Zo came in with the 2nd unit in the 2nd quarter and we ran on the Hawks so bad they didn’t know what to do. The ball was zipping around, from Hart, to Clarkson, to Kuz, it became contagious. If Zo is the same next season as he is right now, I’ll take it, I don’t give a s*** what his father says. I don’t get this “releasing information that sounds like it came from Zo”’stuff either. It wouldn’t take Zo talking to his father, for LaVar to come out and say things that appear obvious from the outside to a guy who thinks he knows everything and is better than any coach. This is the same guy who just said that if we had Zo, George, LeBron, and LiAngelo and then anyone else next year we’d be a title team. He’s a delusional idiot and I’d be shocked if Zo spoke to him and said “Luke lost the team”, but that sure is an easy thing to spout off when it appears from the outside that the team is frustrated and quitting to finish games during a losing streak.

    No he is already a fantastic PG, and he might be incredible for 15 years.

    Some PG’s play their whole career and never get a triple double or see the floor like he does. He does this in his rookie year, and will be a nightly threat for a triple double.

    You don’t give that up when you are a talent starved team unless someone truly blows you away.

    I was wrong about Ball; he's going to be really good. I'll eat crow now.

    You want some of my LFR Randle's random Hardenesque defensive moves meal leftovers?

    i'd need more info. what's the return in said scenario? is it a young allstar? if so, i'm listening. lonzo's been good, but his availability concerns me a bit, and i don't see superstar. you can't hang up the phone unless you're sure your guy is going to be great. i'm not sure. do like, though.

    more gold from LFR.

    Sweet double double from Lonzo tonight. Yes, I know his shot was broken but he controlled the game. 11 boards and 11 assists to go with 5 steals and a block? Wow, great stuff.

    Great to see a person asking valid B-ball questions during interviews .

    Too bad LFR is starting his "career" during our worst times

    think of it that way --- this is how YOU weed out the morons to not be paid any mind.

    The only Fox that matters in Rick.

    Only 1 TO is impressive and tying team high +33 with just 5 points scored is even more impressive.
