[EddieDoyers]

Kuz gonna need to put the team on his back

 

[noblekane]

[MVP]

Ugh

 

[had pants]

 

[EddieDoyers]

Next year fellas
The youngins are developing well though

 

[licensed to ball]

Although im sure we all expect/want this team to beat teams with inferior talent like Detroit, Im still happy that we've competed throughout the entire season.
With constant injuries in and out of the roster, I still think this season was successful (in the context of progression, not winning obviously).

If we can add some more shooting in the off-season and keep developing these kids I see us being at least a .500 team next year (hopefully better, depending on health)

 

[Lizakers]

Zo had a great game. Finally decided to stop shooting a bunch of threes

 

[DLF]

The guy who said “what’s the point of Detroit winning?”

They are still alive for the playoffs and do not own their draft pick anyways since it’s going to clippers

New tricks

Man how does one spell “delivery” wrong lol

 

[thasoleful1]

Gelo gonna do undrafted and sign with the Lakers summer league team for sure...

 

[DLF]

Didn’t even notice lonzo changed his shot up a little

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

That's the kinda stuff Zo was showing before he got hurt. With him it's more about inexperience than inability. He defaults to that step back all the time because he doesn't know what else to do. He'll never be kyrie but he'll be a capable scorer

 

[licensed to ball]

He's workin'
You already know he's going to put in some LEGIT work with Kuz and Ingram in the off-season.
Guaranteed next year you'll see a new arsenal of pull ups, fadeaways and other fundamental moves to create a shot for himself.

He just gotta keep practicing and 3-4 years from now he'll be unstoppable with his size against other lead guards.

but but but...nevermind

 

[Los Angeles]

it was nice to have a glimmer of hope to see the playoffs, but i'm proud of the strides this team has made - the future looks bright.

the kids need to keep working, get stronger and lets see what happens with that $70m or so in cap space.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Lonzo still hasn't even played a full NBA schedule. It's gonna take him 20 games next year to hit 82 NBA games. Lonzo avg more pts than BI did last year, he'll be fine. His overall game is already better than other rookies.

The thing that bothers me is when he penetrates and gets deep in the paint then kicks is out instead of elevating and looking to score. Maybe it's confidence I don't know. But I'm sure the coaching staff is telling him all that and he'll work on it.

 

[tupac003]

Would have loved to have had Hart and BI these last few weeks.

But like we have all said, the improvement is there.

This summer is everything.
