Wiz also messed up by not challenging that lane violation by Randle on the free throw. Little things like that could change the outcome

Lonzo is shooting a 32% FG%. Tied for the worst in the entire nba. He is also averaging 11/9/9 but that FG% makes rondo look like ray allen

Who cares?  It's a 4 game sample size and field goal percentage is something that Ball will obviously greatly improve on.  The guy is practically averaging a triple double and you better hope he misses a chunk of time if you want the Lakers' draft pick next year.  If you want to pick on something, pick on his defense.  It's not as easily fixable as his field goal percentage.

Not really, considering they've been noticeably better on both ends with him off the court.

Through the first 3 games of his nba career.  Last night he had the highest plus/minus on the team.

If pick doesn't convey, and we have a loooong way to go still, there is always Sacramento in 2019. They are young (with some vets that won't be there next year) and they are bad!

Have guys been going after him the way Patrick Beverly said they would after the first game?  Not even in a trash talking way but just playing at him aggressively and running the offense through the guy that Ball is defending?

Yes to an extent and it's working except for ehem Jonathan "Choke" Hildred "Shook" Wall. That game was just embarrassing for the Wizards.

Ball didn't score when he was guarded by Wall.  In fact, he didn't do much of anything with Wall on him.

Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

It wasn't what Ball did on offense, it's what WALL didn't take advantage of on offense.

As much as i would murder someone to get Ayton or Doncic, I'm not stressing at all given given Sac's outlook.

That's what I was getting at.  The perception was that guys were eager to take it to this rookie because of all his dad's antics but other than Patrick Beverly that doesn't seem to be the case (though I haven't watched any of the games)

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.

The Lakers play the Raptors at home tonight. 6 point dogs, same as vs. the Wizards. Weird because I think Toronto is a better team than Washington. I don't see how anyone on the Lakers can guard both Lowry and DeRozan.
