    Our first basket will be a Lonzo to Lebron full court alley oop.

    I think people are just afraid of getting their hopes up and being shot down. I am completely convinced when looking position by position we have the best team and will win it all. I did not want Lebron here but the second he was I'm all in. He makes us the favorite over every team but GS. The players surrounding him this season are light years ahead of what he had last year. We will beat GS. Don't be afraid to hope and dream. Get onboard the championship train. You will enjoy the ride more if you are on from the beginning.

    Everyone's going to need to be ready for the pass. Ready to catch and go. Or else get popped in the face.

    Worse, that no-look pass may come from the 2nd or 3rd guy with the ball where as at least in Showtime you knew to mainly watch out when Magic had the rock. Lebron, Zo, Rondo, Lance most of our young guys, hell even Kuzma has made behind-the-back-no-look passes. Not to say we're better than Showtime by any means just that the distribution can come from anywhere. I wish Dr Buss were still around to see this team.

    check this out, if you take the last full month or last near-full month our young guys played last season and look at their stats it's very impressive:
    (exception is Zo who continued to shoot horridly but at least we know he was injured now)

    Kuzma (March)
    18.7PTS/8.5REB/2.4AST
    FG%=.480
    3P%=.387
    FT%=.744
    Blk=.5pg
    Stl=.857pg
    +/- = +3.2
    18.7 pts on 14.42 attempts

    Ingram (February)
    18.6PTS/5.2REB/5.6AST
    FG%=.545
    3P%=.522
    FT%=.778
    Blk=1.1pg
    Stl=.6pg
    +/- = +10.3
    18.7 pts on 13.4 attempts

    Hart (April)
    17PTS/6.3REB/2.1AST
    FG%=.494
    3P%=.415
    FT%=.786
    Blk=.428pg
    Stl=1.1pg
    +/- = +0.3
    18.7 pts on 14.42 attempts

    Ball (March)
    9.9PTS/6.4REB/7.9AST
    FG%=.353
    3P%=.275
    FT%=.3166
    Blk=.786pg
    Stl=1.07pg
    +/- = -1.5
    9.9 pts on 10.92 attempts

    Even Zu played better at the end of the season. We were wise not to trade these guys off.

    Something's whack with Ingram's numbers. He can't shoot.

    Something's whack with Lonzo's numbers. His shooting can't be that bad. :Lonzoreally:

    Well actually we have a few that are decent but unfortunately Ingram is so bad he drags the bar of the whole "Lakers can't shoot" perception down all by himself.
