There's going to be some massive scores against the Lakers this season. Defence is non-existent. Sloppy passing, poor shot selections ...... could be a long season.

Did you see the time Randle had a shot and went to ground, so two team mates ran over to help him up .... meanwhile Clippers are running the ball down court? Geez.
There is zero leadership or cohesion out there.

Might be time to break out Plan B
I wasn't expecting playoffs this season, but I WAS expecting some sort of improvement. That had better be the worst game Lonzo Ball ever plays.

Not sure that Luke is the right man for the job, who in their right mind starts Luol Deng after the season he had? Since Ingram was at the 2, Brewer or Kuz should have been in the starting lineup. Magic should sound out Mark Jackson.
Yes, the entire "system" seems to be wrong. Defence is a shambles, they only use 2 players in any play in offence, and these silly little half passes that go in the general direction of a team mate, only to be intercepted, just does your head in. Also the number of times the ball carrier, Lonzo included, tried to dribble past an opponent only to have it stripped away with ease was ridiculous. We've all heard that Walton is highly regarded as a coach, that comes from taking on GSW when Steve Kerr was ill (let's face it, you or I could coach GSW), but like many of the players, he needs to start showing something. Ingram continues to worry me as well, his shooting is poor. You can guarantee if he hits a basket, he will miss the next couple. We need 20+ from Ingram every night.

Very pleased with Ingram today, pulled down some big boards and dragged the Lakers back into the game. Looking forward to his development.

Damn good win to blowout Detroit. Ingram everywhere, Lonzo solid, Randle energetic as hell and Kuzma is the best. But generally speaking it was an even contribution across the floor.

deng and brewer are dead weight..
and lopez is gone after this year.
love smooth kuzma... he somehow needs to be in the starting 5.
nance playing well too tho and its best to have randle run the 2nd unit.

62-66 to the Blazers at half time. Pity our point guard didn't turn up.
Close, but no cigar. We need to start games better, our guys always look like they've just woken from a sound sleep, and how about putting our best 5 players as starters for a change?
As for Lonzo, sorry folks but he has lost me right now, and will need to do one helluva lot more to win me back. Did SFA tonight and needs to move out of first gear if he's going to be much good to us.

Damn that sucks. Needed a stop there late but couldn't get anything. Nance going out hurt and they got a few easy shots through Nurkic when Lopez was on the bench

I know it's not always the best stat to look at but he still had a +/- of 10, he plays better defence than I expected he would and he does help our ball movement. I think it was good that he didn't try and force up shots just because he's Lonzo ball and instead he looked to get the guys who were on involved more.
"involved more" is precisely what I'm talking about. He's not imposing himself on the game, and he needs to do this.

I didn't because I was working. What did you think?
I still think it was a huge mistake delisting Nwaba. Whose decision was that?
Lakers are the next golden state. Bookmark it.
