Is it the system? Does Kuz need to strictly be a 4? Why is his offensive game not better?

Right wrong he was still getting compared to other young players a few years back because of his offense. I dont expect him to be great, but yall telling me you wouldnt have expected 20+ with no Bron/no AD(minute restriction) a couple years back?

shyt maybe he really did need Zo.

13 games remaining and Lakers are 2.5 clear of the play in. Win 7 of the last 13 including Dallas and Portland and you're good-to-go.
Dallas, Washington, Indiana, Sacramento, Portland, Houston, Toronto, I was gonna add Orlando but we know how that game is gonna turn out

Huge game tonight. The winner owns the tiebreaker...Getting the 4th/5th seed would mean:

1st rd/Denver...2nd rd/Utah...3rd rd/Phoe or LAC

Falling to the 6th seed would mean;

1st rd/LAC...2nd rd/Phoe...3rd rd/Utah or Denver
I'm just more concerned with them staying out of the play in game. I think Lakers can beat whoever they play if they get healthy. If they beat the Mavs today though that would give them a 3 and a half game cushion over both Portland and the Mavs and damn near lock them in to at least the 5th seed.

Agreed, however, I'd like Lebron to get his legs, rhythm, and stamina back before facing Kawhi/PG and the Clippers.

Flabgic really let Randle walk away, not even a qualifying offer :picard:

Can’t fault him...Randle didn’t look nowhere near this type of player. Like Randle used to be this ball dominant nikka who couldn’t shoot, had tunnel vision and would just bull his way to the basket. That’s the last dude you would think could play with LeBron. The way he reinvented his game tho is crazy...nobody coulda ever seen Randle shooting 43% from 3 and all of a sudden having a diverse offensive bag...
