    I'm not too concerned about his release, heck if you can shoot it backwards but make it at a respectable percentage, all the power to you. It's the fact that every other shot of his looks different mechanically. He shot it well enough at UCLA and from NBA range too, he's going to have to find a way to adjust.

    Nah I’ll get excited if I want too.

    This team has sucked for the last five years and hadn’t shown many reasons for hope.

    That has all changed. The culture is clearly changing. I’m sorry, but if you can’t see that then I don’t know what to tell you.

    The way they’re playing, how much fun they’re having playing basketball, I mean I just don’t get how or why fans shouldn’t be overly enthusiastic.

    Hmm. OK. I'll be unexcited. What about other things in my life? Do I have permission to get excited about Star Wars Episode VIII? I'd like to be excited, but it might be too soon. I guess I could wait until Episode XIII to start to get pumped.

    20 - 10 record, with this team, in the West? That's asking too much. I just wanna see improvement and potential and them playing for each other. So far, they've met my expectations.

    This video is proof his offensive game is in his head, but when he's free and confident he's a beast. Zo will be fine, it's just a matter of time.

    When you look at Lonzo's shot straight on from a defender's position it doesn't look quite as whack as it definitely can from other angles. 3 of them starting at 4:00 on the clip. Maybe they can gradually get it released a little more from in front and a little higher? No idea. LaVar should have dealt with it when he was in the 5th grade. Don't see his skinny little brother shooting that way. Wonder why.

    He said he always told them to shoot whichever way felt most comfortable.

    Lonzo has been a big surprise defensively. He's not nearly as bad as we expected. It makes up for his shooting right now

    Frankly, I'm not watching the games. Not only do I not have cable anymore, but the constant attack on anyone who has a contract past this year, or is seen as a roadblock to the golden bull that is the 2018 plan, and the lack of commitment, genuine commitment, from the FO regarding players we've drafted has completely turned me off. As a result, any and all progress we make as a team this year is null and void because most of these players will either be traded or not resigned.

    you can, but that doesn't mean you can question someone else's existence to be a fan.

    getting excited or not, it's individual's personality.

    the dumbest possible comparison

    Why would he steal when he has more than enough money? Makes zero sense.

    I'm sure there's much worse comparisons that can be made.
