Walton didn’t help the cause with his lineups. Starters should have been Ball/Clarkson/Ingram/Randle/Lopez. Ball didn’t even know who/where to pass to because he doesn’t know everybody’s spots yet. Deng should not be a starter ever anymore, and Nance is an energy guy off the bench.

Getting KCP back should help a little.

Luke is stubborn, the starters should have been either what you stated or Ball/Brewer/Ingram/Kuzma/Lopez. Deng is garbage and Nance has shown little to no improve since he came into the league. Randle and Kuzma are vastly better players and should be getting the majority of minutes in the rotation.

Usually I’m hyped for Suns vs Lakers but man, that opening night immediately sucked my enthusiasm out of the new season.

I like the fact that Ball had his head up looking for his teammates as soon as he got the inbound pass or rebound.

I dislike that Lavar is still getting interviews and shit. If the logic behind that is “people like him” well then have pornstars host news while wearing G Strings cause guess what we all like

Beverly should reply that his son just got spanked by a nobody.

All these Lonzo is ass statements need to stop.

It’s literally his first minutes. Everyone trying to go on saying he’ll never be Magic Johnson because of one game.

Maybe he won’t.be but it’s definitely too early.

Perhaps if he didn’t have a propaganda machine everyone would just let it go

I can see it both ways. Yes, it is just his first game (against Beverly, nonetheless), but LaVar pumped him up a lot so expectations are high and everyone has eyes on him.

Additionally, no matter what Lavar or media says, there has to be some pressure on Lonzo’s head for his own family expectations. Even if that idiot hadn’t said anything to the press, you know that what happens between doors must be some real parenting bullshit (RE: Lamelo)

Wade should be eating Gabrielle’s ass, not the other way around

Just means Gabi’s a freak… Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

CP3 out for a month and Dennis Smith suddenly not playing tonight cause of knee injury.

What a first week this has been.

This is the quickest the injury bug has hit.
