By Moris Go To PostHe made so many bad decisions and was whinning every time he gave Embiid free throws.
He just absolutely sucks against height.
Yet he was in all of the 4th. That’s how bad Lopez was
… meanwhile, back at Staples…
Lonzo Ball got benched again on Wednesday during a loss to the 76ers, making 1-of-9 from the field for two points with five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two turnovers in 21 minutes.
Uh oh. He didn't play in final 16:04 tonight, and didn't play in the final 14:47 on Monday. This benching has been compounded by Jordan Clarkson getting hot these days, which won't go on forever. Ball has just been a complete disaster as a scorer with his 36.4 TS% on his 19.1 usage rate on the season. How bad is that? Well, no scoring qualifier has finished a season with a usage rate of at least 19 and a TS% below 39. We all knew Ball wasn't going to be a plus scorer, but he's off to one of the worst starts in history from an efficiency standpoint.

i'm not about to get happy too soon. I've seen things you wouldn't believe over the last few years. I remember being kinda happy with a MCW, KJ McDaniels and Tony Wroten team before reality hit. Look at those names as a look into the depths of Sixers basketball. That was the recent "high" pre this season man.
so sorry if i'm not quite popping bottles yet. I don't know how to react to positivity around this franchise

Tell me again how Hinkie is a bum plz.
Draft 3 top 5 centers in a row and one should be good... Like if you have enough top 5 picks in a row you are going to eventual find a generational is something nobody knew before Mr. Hinkie

Well, you should let the Lakers know at some point then.
By TTG Go To PostWell, you should let the Lakers know at some point then.Lakers actually drafted a good player in D'Lo and besides last season they have been at least trying to win games... Hinkie's tank for 6 years is a mockery...
#2 draft pick + Mozgov for Brook & #27.
D'Tective, KCP, Ingram, Kuzma, Brook.
That team wins at least 8 more games than the team we have now.
Instead of 6-9 we're probably 8-7 right now if Lolnzo is just a league-average shooter.

was trying to tell people that slingshot jumper would not work in the pros, that shit needs to be fixed right away no if and's or balls getting in the way. I was really expecting the lakers to jump in and try to change it right away over the summer but oh well. hopes its not too late as he's been shooting it his whole life. would be a shame for a guy with his mind for the game to be unplayable.

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostThis dude is so awesome. Please stay healthy for 17+ years.

Dude seriously said he's at 69%. C'mon.
The only games the lakers need to win are against OKC and the Cavs
If they get blown out in those games then RIP to LeBron x George
They’d over pay for melo instead

What the fuck at that line by embiid. Good lord. Lonzo is at the point where he may need go sit a few games out and get his mind right. Dude has one of the worst shots in nba history but has no confidence in it. Kevin Martin's shot was just as ugly but he was drafted 26th..
Hinkie died for this.

"Well, the Lakers did win that one game against me, guess I'll go hang with Lavar for the rest of my career" - said Lebron James never.
I'm going to go ahead and not say anything positive about Lonzo for the foreseeable future. I try and be positive and he goes and does some shit like this. At least Ingram looked good last night.

Guard!!! - Lakers fans, probably.
I think ball-dominant LeBron should certainly team up with a "point" guard that can't shoot.

Oh hell no. Lakers fan we need an emergency meeting. Stern is broken.
Lonzo going to be alright

Like, basketball alright, or "I'm rich and Donald Trump will get me out of Chinese jail if I fuck up" alright?
Speaking of trump, the UCLA apologies were embarrassing to watch. Just these kids literally reading from a piece of paper, and the very obviously placed "apology to trump" phrase placed in each one of the scripts--fucking cringe.
By Kibner Go To Post
Nobody doubts that Lonzo Ball is going to be a worthy top-five pick in the upcoming 2017 NBA Draft.
The UCLA freshman guard is a basketball savant, with an innate understanding of the game that's sui generis. It's impossible to come up with a past player comparison for him, because there isn't one. Ball looks like an organization-changer, a wholly unselfish maestro who was put on the Earth to play basketball and win games. He may or may not be the best player in the draft, but there's no arguing that he's the most singular.
This article is super-cringey to read in hindsight. Especially with the linked advert for the article on Lauri "can he stretch his game?!?" right in the middle.

loooooooool
So.....I need Embiid to not be able to play more than 33 games so I have an argument as to why KAT is better cause I'm runnin out of shit for my agenda
