Hopefully he can come back right after the All-Star break like he said. We haven't played a game at full strength since before Christmas.

So the Lakers are playing so well doing everything right that they can go watch a college kid play. ***** with that BS, foul shots are horrendous. Playing one of the top teams in the east and you fly down to see Duke play, all the players who went played a half *** game. So that is the example you set for young players, hey we are 1 game over .500 let's go watch Duke play. If they had won it's not a problem but losing by 20 it becomes a problem.

Please don't go down this road as a fan. Don't start policing every moment of another grown man's day. You don't know what he did with the other 21 hours of the day outside of attending that Duke game.

Well said.
Their FT% wasn’t going to go up if they went to the Gym instead of the Duke game.
Lebron almost had a triple double.
Rondo wasn’t really in this game because he’s too small to match up with the 6ers starters and KCP has been bad all year.

FOH with that dudes need to work on the game, FT percent goes up with practice. I guess they punting on the playoffs or pushing for the playoffs. You punting then fine go to the game F the season.
WTF you talking about KCP been bad all year he hit some big shots throughout the season and turned around a few games.

Bron doing that thing where he’s passive and pass-first to figure out muscala and bullock prob
Bullock looked bad tho and didn’t look good defensively either lol
Their games don’t flow as smooth without zo tho I’ll say that much haha

And choked away several games, too. They’re human, bruh. You expect them to “work on the game” 24hrs a day?

All of those bad losses early are catching up.
Injuries didn't help.
Unless we go on a win streak of 6 to 7 games, this is a wrap.

Spurs and kings aren't locks. Clippers either. They were getting blown out in every loss (like us smh) before the trade but shamet and Zu fill huge voids for them

That might be the case. We're 3 and half games back with 26 games to play we have the second hardest remaining schedule in the league. We have no margin for error going forward

Kuzma should've played the whole first half or even the whole game.. the way he was playing..
Also, one of Bron, Kuz or BI should be running with 2nd unit more. You got Lance out there playing PG even when Rondo is in SMH

Oh yeah. No question.
I’m looking at it in comparison to the season Dejounte Murray had last year (making second team) and the season Jrue Holiday had last year making first team and Lonzo is in that category of defender for sure.
Hate that he got hurt because getting that honor would have been HUGE for him in terms of people putting respect on his name.

How can anybody defend this guy? Seriously? Listen to him and tell me anything he says makes sense. You have a guy on pace to drop 50 in the first half and you're worried about his defense so you bench him for 10 minutes straight. He's not going to magically become an elite defender when he checks back in. It's frickin Kuzma, lower your expectations. They cut the lead to 4 and he puts in that dumbass lineup because apparently they weren't playing defense hard enough. Then guess what..the unit he puts in can't play defense either. Or offense. So they lose the game for you. He never ceases to outdumb himself I swear. He'd rather lose a game with his dumbass decisions than win a game 'the wrong way'. Just win games, idiot. We can't be picky at this point. You're not gonna win every game the same way. If it has to be a shootout so be it. Tuesday will hopefully be his last game

agreed. Here’s an objective measure of Zo’s defensive impact. He’s in the same tier as other elite defensive guards. Jrue/Smart are 1/2 combo guards so it depends what position you think they are.. otherwise Lonzo is the 2nd best defensive pg behind Conley in terms of perimeter defense.. when accounting for interior defense as well, Lonzo is likely superior

Not 24 hours a day, however when you lose those decisions become bad decisions. The optics on that decision to go make everything worse. Hell go out and have a drinking binge, gambling binge, bang chicks all night. However make sure you win the game the next day.
Uh that 67% FT percentage ain't just going to go up by itself. However in all honesty the loss and the decision to go to the game is major. If you wanted to see the game go to the Duke vs UNC game on Wednesday, those games are ALWAYS hype. Plus you already in North Carolina early for all star weekend.My guy wants Bron shooting FTs 24hrs a day

Did anyone else hear chants of "Kobe is better" during the 76ers game? Allegedly Philly fans were chanting it.

I didn't hear and I really doubt superstar players even pay attention or hear them after a while.
