    Luzma huh? I'm gonna take a wild guess it wont matter if he's here next year or not. You'll be whining about the next guy who isnt 15/15 from the field every game.

    Luzma is 2/27 on open 3s in the past 15 games
    7.4%

    8/46 since Hou game on Feb 6th

    17.4%

    My complaining is very justified about him

    Funny, I don't cry over KCP and DG every game because they are hitting shots at a fair clip

    Lebron gets this scrub multiple open shots a game and he just bricks them

    But apparently he worked on his jumper the whole summer

    I agree but hopefully, that is as bad as it gets and he has a crazy surge during the last month + playoffs. Frank should try something new with Kuzma. Don't EVER put him with Rondo. Instead, work on a: Waiters, Caruso, Kuzma, Davis, and Markieff lineup. Let's see how Kuzma does when the pace of the game increases. I just don't get how people are annoyed with those who say Kuzma has been awful. It's just the truth. The guy has been disappointing this season. Almost everyone here expected him to be sort of our 'Klay Thompson' player but he's becoming a liability out there in many games.

    Keep doing you; it was a nice win, but the weekend isn't over, yet.

    Hopefully, Kuz can hit some shots tomorrow.

    Thing is him "keeping doing him" .... until kindly (thank you very much) turning it down with repeated reminders .... included nasty nicknames and adjectives applied to EVERYONE including the coaching staff from the opening tip off for anyone who missed a shot or made an error. All damn game.

    So here's to him keeping doing the new him.

    Rob got that 24/7 approach to career. That tamper free access was the whole point of signing Kostas to G League. Get’m Rob.

    And so much for the "new" him. Same goddamned behavior every game until someone has to tell him to STFU. Keep it up. You'll miss Game Time when it finally happens.

    He exposed himself today. Ridiculous, shameful, petulant and alarmist irrespective of what is happening in the game. Any chance to criticize with no positivity or SUPPORT for "His" (?) team. Every five point deficit is an excuse to sack a coach, every lineup that is bad requires a buyout of a player. Does not play well with others. I am tired of this s***.

    Kuzma brought it today. Excellent energy, 10 boards plus some D and 8 points. He's going to be a work in progress but the addition of Morris has helped and when some of the guards are delivering on offense (today AB and KCP, although DG still seems to take games off), it takes the pressure off Kuz to just score. Wondering how the addition of Waiters will impact the team as well and Kuz's play.

    I wouldn’t be surprised that Kuz will benefit playing with Waiters. Waiters can set the table as well as get his own shot. Dion could be really impactful to Kuz’s game IMO.

    I think I made 1 comment about him missing a wide-open corner 3?

    He has to make those shots.

    Other than that, he's been doing all the little things lately.

    That's what we need...

    Yeah, he's been struggling with the open threes. He needs to knock those down and I'm a little surprised (and disappointed) that he hasn't been as good in that department as he has in the past. But like you say and I've been saying too, I see him doing the other things for the team besides scoring for quite a while now (admittedly with an occasional clunker game). I think he's making some strides. He has to in order to continue to be on this team. We don't have a lot of time for weak links.

    I love Kuz's size - always have.

    I think he can be a above average wing player on most nights.
