    I don't get the hate Lonzo gets, the guy is elite in defense, passing and rebounding at his position. We have enough talent for scoring. Also becoming a better offensive player is something he will continue to improve as long as they're no more serious injuries he'll finally have an off season to work on that part of his game. Also you can tell he enjoys working out and getting stronger so he'll bulk up even more, just gotta work on his core more so he can compensate for his lower body injuries.

    ^^^Zo gets hate because of his Pops.

    Magic/Rob hyped him up during his introductory presser but see: asset management/trade value.

    But it was his Pops that shot his mouth off about Zo being the next best thing to sliced bread and how his boy is free of any blame since its Luke and his teammates that are the problem.

    Btw, it was a combination of driveway pull-ups and encouraging that ratchety shooting form that's led to his inconsistent shot.

    If there was no Lavar, Zo wouldn't get the amount of hate he gets. #Facts

    If we just block out the noise (lavar & magic anointing him the next Hall of famer point guard ) and just judge Lonzo only, he's an elite player with an improving offensive game.

    This team desperately misses his defense and ability to push the pace, even if it’s a pass or two, he’s able to get guy moving a lot faster. Our rebounding is taking a hit too.

    He may not be a big offensive threat yet, but he’s a cog in that machine that gets our pace up.

    The little hate I give Lonzo is his inability to heal for a 20 year old. I sprained my ankle, at the very least, 50 times in my life. Most of it in my late teens and early 20s. And after a week, I was ballin up. Why does this guy take months to heal from sprains? That's my beef with him.

    Kobe used to get high ankle sprains and be back in 2 days. He played for 20 years so dont tell me it's to make sure it isnt a long term issue.

    Lonzo needs to put in a better diet and physical work. And stop being a p**** with the pain.

    Tatum's development has been ruined by Kyrie and Hayward. He needs the ball in his hand to be effective.

    If the C Bags want Tatum to reach his potential, they would need to trade Gordon and let Kyrie walk.

    Luckily after tomorrow's game we have over a week off due to All Star break. Hoping he doesn't have to miss too many more games. We need him badly.

    The biggest Lakers injury delays don't happen early in the rehab process but late.

    He is doing 2 on 2 but feeling a pinch. He is doing 3 on 3 and we take it day by day... And so forth...

    I can’t believe she can get by on only $30k a month. Lonzo is such a deadbeat.

    If Lonzo needs to pay 30k/month in child support... I wonder how much he’s also blowing a month on his daddy’s passion project... the JBA lol.

    Kid might end up broke within 5 years after he retires.
