    Here's one although I'm pretty sure the pictures have changed for some reason.

    LOL. Larry's off hand still hates the basketball and a humbled and embarrassed Zu getting ready to destroy now this season. With the floater or short armed Sky Hook. Why isn't he running??

    I need Zu to play more aggressive. He's too soft in the paint and gets pushed around too easily. His finishes are slow and weak.

    Also, he needs to work on his hands again, they were Kwame like in SL.

    This is the one I tried to post yesterday, but it wouldn't go through.

    I like how lean Larry is looking.

    No it was definitely the one you posted. I was impressed with the way Larry looked with that resistance rope on him. For whatever reason it wasn't there after I posted it. I'm glad you posted it though. That picture is great.

    Look at the photos of Kyle and Larry releasing the ball. Do NOT understand why Larry insists on pulling the left away from guiding the ball. Don't have to change the motion of his right arm, wrist, hand and fingers which is the meat of his shot. Just keep the guiding hand on it longer. Better fix it Larry cause Kyle's coming for you. HOF written all over this kid. :giggle: Right @Savory Griddles ?

    Wait a minute. Whoa! Are you saying Kyle has the transcendent, societal value of a Blake Griffin .... over and above merely playing the game? You know ..... I can see it now that you made me re-assess my statement. :Noddingyes:

    This sounds a lot like D'Antoni's 7 seconds or less offense in Phoenix. Get out in transition and push the ball with a mobile big man and everyone having the ability to shoot. Lonzo fits perfectly into that style of play. It was an extremely succesful offense for PHX and they were unlucky not to get a ring. Their biggest let down was on the defensive end.

    I did find it funny that we fired D'Antoni and hired Byron Scott...and then drafted two players who would have been perfect for D'Antoni in Russell and Ball. Now that some time has passed, I've softened my stance on D'Antoni a lot. He wasn't the perfect coach, but he isn't as bad as we thought at the time, and he is doing a fantastic job in Phoenix.

    True, but Pringles is still a knucklehead that will never win a ring. Much rather have Luke who at least has ring potential.
