Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread

you dont even believe that. Lakers would be a much better team with russell right now

Negative; they'd be a much worse defensive team with Russell.

Can Luke tell ball to stop shooting 3’s

 

[gho3st]

why do people want lonzo to change his form? aint this the way he been shooting all his life?

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

Lonzo been underwhelming if Ingram hasn’t been playing better I would have been worried. We need a splash in free agency. I don’t want LeBron tho

 

[Nigerianwonder]

Damn, Ball can't even hit free throws right now. He needs a game where he gets a bunch of easy baskets.

Free throws are easy buckets. He cant shoot period. Dude is the worst shooting PG I have ever seen. He needs to stop shooting completely. The only offense he should do is just drive to the lane occasionally and try to get layups or fouled.

kcp needs to be cut agree that stupid shyt.

That wind up is too damn slow. The NBA is too athletic and that causes open looks to be contested looks. So without doing that exaggerated hop step away from his man it'll be hard for him to ever be able to get his shot off unless wide open IMO.

This over reactionary sh!t needs to stop. He'll adjust over time ...as his confidence and strength grows.

 

[TrebleMan]

I think I've seen enough. Lonzo can't shoot.

 

[L&HH]

It's crazy how much they can stroke it with ease in a non-game environment

He already had one of those against Phoenix.

 

[MikelArteta]

i think its more mental with ball, he prob thinks before he shoots to much like i hope this goes in,

That was three weeks ago.

Another thought: If we’re trying to win then Randle needs to play more. I don’t know if it’s some kind of mind games going on or if Magic/Pelinka are telling Luke to cut his minutes, but Randle has been vital for our bench and switching on defense (something I thought I would never say). Bogut and Brewer together in that first quarter last night was pissing me off...

nah, he's just getting the Russell treatment

And they're better without Russell.

at this time last year, we were 6-6 with Russell, we're 5-7 right now

This team is instantly better if we draft Tatum instead. And guess what? Chances are we still draft Kuzma because the Nets weren't planning on taking him

That and I don't think he's taken one in rhythm either. Most who played ball knows when you're slumping best shots to take are in rhythm where you don't have time to think since you're catching and going straight up with it. Most of Ball's have been while standing still or off the dribble.

yup
the great thing every other aspect of his game is great, he plays good d, he rebounds great, he gets assists.
