Another great game for Lonzo. His team would've won, but the usual suspect ball hogs decided to not give the ball to Zo in the 4th quarter. IT and Randle taking turns making dumb selfish plays down the stretch. Randle is without a doubt the dumbest player in the NBA, million dollar talent and 10 cent brain. He doesn't even know now to roll to the hole after setting a pick and both defenders go to the ball carrier. pathetic.

Lonzo's usual stat stuffing box score: 15 pts on 7/16 shooting that included 3 heaves to beat the buzzer so he actually shot really well, including a couple really nice offensive rebound tip ins. 15 pts to go along with 8 boards, 8 assists, 4 steals and a block.

7 for 16 stat is misleading. 1 of them was a breakaeay layup and another 3 makes were as a result of tip ins/put backs. otherwise he was 3 for 12 . 1 for 8 from 3. The one make also was a "crawl in" shot.


It is interesting that Randle (who Stu Lance and the other announcer stated has been the Lakers best player over the past 2 months or so) now becomes the goat. The Lakers turnaround as a franchise coincided with his insertion into the starting lineup by the way. The win/loss record since he has been a starter proves that.

Isaiah Thomas had a +- of - 1 (while Lonzo's was -10) for the game yet he is to blame. The Lakers bench

What has become rather apparent is that everyone (conveniently except Lonzo) will always be to blame whenever the Lakers lose. Each game that they lose will the product (pick your player) of someone else's mishaps. This thread was quiet while they went 8-2 during one particular stretch without him. I wonder how such terrible teammates were able to pull that off without his greatness on the floor.

Can someone proclaim how such ramblings make it difficult to take this poster serious? I have yet to hear this particular phrase when said nonsense is utterred.

"The Worst Center in the League" has coincidentally dropped 56 over the past 2 games also.

Difference Making Lonzo has a negative +- in each of the past 3 games also.

Lonzo Ball "stud" that he is, only averages 1 free throw attempt per game. I can't remember the last time that an "elite" player shot only 1 free throw per game.

He also had 2 turnovers down the stretch and once again got his shot block while driving to the bucket.

The lack of free throw attempts is indicative of his inability to create his own shot. It is also indicative of a guy too scared to drive to the bucket and take contact.

Before we get another "good game" Lonzo "rest of the team blows" post it will be necessary to state that he was the only Starter with a negative +-. Rest of the starters all posted a +- that was positively in the double figures. The "stupid" Julius Randle, the guy truly responsible for turnaround, nearly had a triple double.

Lonzo now 2 for 14 from three in the last 2 games. Also missed a breakaway dunk that is sure to make Shaqtin A Fool.

"Worst Center" in the league also scored 20 + for the 3rd straight game. About 80 over the past 3.

Keep fighting the good fight, don't let that dummy shakes sway ya... I wish they never gave up Nance Or Clarkson , the core was solid. Ball ain't shit ..never has been, never will be.

_________________

Bad shooting night for Zo, got in early foul trouble and never got it going. 5 pts on 2/11 shooting. But, the team won and he had 7 assists to zero turnovers. Nothing wrong with that. 3 boards and a steal as well.

_________________

2 for 11 is abysmal.. Take away the layup n this guy is Jokim Noah on offense.

_________________

2 for 11 is pretty typical for a rookie. Every rookie has shooting games like that. Your boy Fox has had plenty of 3/10 and 2/10 games. Simmons had a 3/11 game. Even the great Donovan Mitchell has had several terrible shooting games, he was 4/15 the other day.

Nothing alarming about a rookie having a bad shooting night, especially when that rookie had been shooting great over the past couple months. And the 7assists with no turnovers is fantastic. Mitchell had 6 assists and 5 turnovers in that 4/15 game.

so tl:dr, bad shooting night, but played well in every other aspect of the game.

another poor shooting game, but had a really nice game in every other department. Did hit a big 3 in the 4th which helped get the W.

9 boards, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks are great numbers.


Most of all, was happy to see the Lakers beat these pricks and make Murray look like an idiot tonight. Loved watching Murray try and take Lonzo off the dribble and get his shit swatted by Zo. Murray has never been able to score on Lonzo, all his points vs the Lakers have come matched up with other players. Tonight was no different, any time they were matched up Zo made him look silly.

Hopefully his shooting will pick up with tomorrow's quick turnaround.

Does anyone besides me and 312 see the incongruity in all this?

I've dismissed it because there isn't yet a middle ground. Your opinion doesn't make it a middle ground either. He stinks by just about any metric that a person wants to use and if he wasn't billed as a "stud" we wouldn't be having this conversation. The Shakes dude is into the whole name calling thing when you attempt to debate him logically. I don't really care about the mob mentality but I will call it when I see it. People seem to have a problem with it oh well.

There hasn't been any ganging up on Shakes. In fact there have been very few people (aside from me and 312) to call him on his bullshit. He has gotten away with saying some stupid shit. Guys like you have no credibility because you really haven't called it for what it is and that is bullshit.

This dude has come on game after game and essentially stated that Ball is playing well no matter the performance. I was done with it awhile ago and then the bullshit name calling started. Its back on now and I'm not relenting this time. I don't care who rolls with me. Doesn't matter because as far mob mentality I couldn't care less.

If you think he is good then you are wrong. If you care to partake in this feel free. The middle ground is a copout. That kid ain't shit.

I should attempt to make the case that he can't even lie straight but this thread would immediately invalidate it.

The Stupid Julius Randle is avg 20 ppg 7 Reboinds and 4 Assists since the All Star break. Luke Walton stated that he is the best one on one defender in the game.

_________________

Another bad offensive performance by Ball. His not so stellar defense was also pretty shitty too.

3 for 11 from the field. 8 points in 39 minutes.

1 for 8 from 3 point range . (4 for 29) over his last 4 games.
His closest defender might as well be in S.F. as teams have taken to doubling off of him and simply allowing him to shoot.

They placed Durant on him last night as a way to rest Durant on D. Placing Durant on Ball also allowed for the Double teaming of the Worst Center in the League When Lopez got the Ball in the post they simply Doubled off of Ball.

Also one of those makes was a bullshit tip in at the end of the first half.

_________________

another poor shooting night for Lonzo. He really needs to stop shooting so many 3's when they aren't falling. When he gets to 0-4 or 1-5 it's time to stop shooting them and try something else. No biggie, he's 20, he'll continue to figure it out.

Still doing a lot of other great things on the court. 11 assists, 5 boards, 3 steals and a block.

_________________

Another terrible shooting night for Lonzo Stud Ball.
4 for 15 from the field and 2 of those makes (At least) were by way of the wide open layup variety.

9 points on 4 for 15 shooting while his guy Dragic drops 30 on him.
38 minutes of work also.


Lakers lose by one and I'm certain that those awful teammates were the root cause of it.

Apologies to Jerian Grant also. It is an absolute insult to compare that bum to him. Grant's per 36 numbers are actually are better than the Stud

another solid night for Lonzo. Didn't shoot well, 4-14 from the field, but at least he made a conscious effort to stop taking so many 3's. Only took 2 on the night and was 1/2 (not counting the full court heave to beat the half time buzzer), got to the rim a lot and missed a few bunnies, but also made some nice shots inside.

Stuffed the stat sheet as usual with 8 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals and a block.

"Nice Shots inside"


An uncontested layup on a pass by that Stupid Selfish Julius Randle.


Another uncontested layup occurred as a result of a steal on an inbounds pass.

Another subpar game from the Stud

37 Minutes

1-4 from the field

This is becoming beyond pathetic.

He stinks.

Shoutout to 312 and Big Chicagoan for calling this garbage out from game 1.

This kid has bust written all over him.
