Wiz just sucked against the Lakers . They needed Morris soooooo bad .  Wall looked frustrated to me . I think they over looked the Lakers , thought they could cruise and o a win.  Let off the throttle , and got beat. 

Wiz looked out of sorts.

Then Wiz got robbed on the last play was a 100 % foul , even the Lakers guys said it was obvious foul on them.  Refs gave the game to Lakers , not calling an obvious foul on h last play.

This. Wizards lost the game right from the start with their we-showed-up-give-us-the-win attitude.

First quarter is almost over and Lowry/Derozan are a combined 0/2.

The Raptors look like a really bad team tonight. I gotta hand it to The Lakers, they are playing hard tonight...

Ugly, sloppy game, BUT RAPTORS WIN (LAKERS LOSE)!!!

But man... I know it's only 5 games but the hype for Lonzo looks idiotic now.

Guy has 5 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds on 29% shooting. Looks to me like he's destined to be a Rondo with slightly better shooting in the long run to be honest.

Kuzma looks more like the one Lakers fans should be more excited about.

I keep saying that he reminds me a lot of Rondo with a bit better shooting but without the elite defense and ability to get to the rim at will.

I think his ceiling is a complementary star, similar to how Rondo was. He needs to have high-level offensive options around him in order to be at his best. I don't see him being a star that can lift a team all by himself.

I get what you trying to say but RR had the tools to play the defense, and he did it when he felt it was needed. He was also very athletic compared to Ball kid. Ball doesn't have the athletic abilities. He's tall alright for the position he's playing but he's not fast or anything like that, so I don't see him as being a factor in any case as defense matters. The hype is def not real.

Lakers played the best they could in these 5 games and are still 2-3...the pick is looking very promising, Danny will have made a smart move if the pick conveys and yields a star (I assume Fultz and Tatum will both be stars, Fultz was actually solid aside from shooting and I think we all know that Tatum is in line with Pierce's rookie season while being a 4th option on offense).

Lonzo Ball has been downright awful overall.  He is averaging 5.5 ppg Shooting 21.6% from the floor and 8.5% from 3 in games against teams other than the Suns.  Plus his defense is pretty darn bad as well.

Its a long season and Ball plays with pace and the slightest bit of injury will disrupt his game.His rebounds on defense board are a reflection of his BBIQ.
He may even get better as season wears on as other teams are tanking and some get sloppy or the opposite as his team slows its pace or loses some key players.

I think Lonzo really needs an elite scorer or 2 next to him to truly thrive. One of those stars needs to be able to create in the half court. Lonzo needs to focus on pushing the pace on transition, playing off the ball in the half court, and keeping the ball hopping in sets. That could allow them to hide his deficiencies at creating off the dribble, and scoring in the mid range.

I mean that's true of every ball handler in the NBA isn't it? Even Lebron needs shooters.
ok fine

These games are too close for comfort. They beat the Wiz and barely lost to the Raptors, it’s not giving me much hope that they’ll be a bottom 5 team. Suns, Bulls, Hawks and Knicks all look worse for sure and even if they finished 5th, those aren’t good odds at a top 5 pick. Lowering expectations...
