Lonzo Ball 0 pts. Lol

Zoe not worried about zero points he gots him and Lavar a new 15m crib to shoot sum hoops at .

Sadly the Nets look like the Nets again.

Lakers winning big....

Ball looks really awful so far this season. He shoots worse than Marcus Smart.

Lonzo ROY? LOL.

Lonzo probably isn't even the best guy the Lakers drafted last summer (Kuzma is).

so far tonight, lonzo is shooting 2-12. i havent watched him this season.

is the bad shooting due to defenders playing him hard? or just plain old bad shooting?

He's simply not a good shooter. He's missed quite a few open looks tbh this season.

That 29 point game he had vs. Phoenix (in which he also took 27 shots, mind you) is the only reason his PPG average looks decent lol.

Brook Lopez go away!

when he misses his 3s, the ball goes left or right instead of short or long. Lol

[CelticsElite]

Lonzo continues to hold the worst field goal percentage out of any player in the league

[SHAQATTACK]

Lakers riding the HOME Game  wave and Lopez at his trade again .

Ball is weird looking cat

This is why I knew Ainge and Stevens would stay away from Lonzo in the draft, his shooting motion is toxic and we are already seeing it, he'll be one of those guys who hits 5-7 from 3 one day then shoot 2-17 the next 4. People keep comparing him to Kidd but Jason was a fantastic defender from day one so if his shot wasn't falling he could be an asset on the other side of the court but Lonzo is terrible and seems quite lazy defensively, from picking up bad habits from his ego maniac father.

Nice tough win against an Acy, Booker-less Nets side today.

Let's see how this team does against Memphis next up.

Then us.

Then the Wizards.

Then Milwaukee.

Kuzma may be their best player.  Funny. 😄😄. Sucks though.  They'd be way worse if they hadn't kind of gotten lucky w him being so good so fast.

let's hold off all definitive judgments about lakers until the competition and especially their road trips ramp up.

the lakers have played only 3 road games in their first 9 games, and those were a short flight from LA.

this is a young team, playing okay at home, and the toll of the long nba season has not yet set in.

and, as mentioned above by TB, the lakers have an east coast swing next week and play some good teams.

so, it is still early and the lakers still suck. let's wait and see how it all plays out.
