Lonzo gonna drop 50 on that fool

Lonzo been outplayed by Clarkson all year but Luke is forced to play him.

Lonzo acting like he has stage fright at this point. Even if it’s not in your nature to average big points, you should be dominating with assists. He’s very tentative with everything right now.

Hoping the Suns can get to 35+ wins this year and keep up the good vibrations. It hurts to finally see my boys playing good basketball but for pundits to be so convinced that they’re trash that they’ll write them off as a fluke. Some writers think building around Devin Booker is “stupid” because he’s one-dimensional and that he had the fakest 70 point game ever.

Clearly too much time has passed since Nash left. Social media thinks we’re the Browns of the NBA and have always been losers.

The problem I see with lonzos game is for a point guard he sure as hell doesn’t seem to want the ball. Offenses seem to be set with him passing early which could be by design but it didnt look good in the Portland game.

Also he picks up his dribble to damn early in the shot clock, as a pg you can’t do that. The Frenchmen in NY has the same problem but it’s less pronounced because he isn’t running the offense when he is in there, and his defense as been absolutely crushing.

I’m sure lonzo will be fine but he has to be willing to dribble through the pressure or else teams are going to bust up all your half court sets.

Chuck on Lonzo

So I started a podcast with a good friend of mine, and its pretty much a potluck of subjects, we touch on a little bit of everything. I really want to talk basketball and its not his area at all so its not something we have dug too deep into. Would anyone here be interested in joining a basketball podcast? I’m thinking once a week for about 50 minutes. I just want to talk basketball man.

The Wizards basically got steamrolled by Lebron James alone

LeBron played like DeShawn was still on the team and trash talking him.

Ben with another triple-double. He’s also missed another 2 or so by a random assist or rebound.

LOL Ben Simmons got his jersey ripped, fucking Nike

Blame the NBA for taking the money and not giving a damn about quality.

I mean, it would be nice if Heat stopped letting Millsap get whatever he wants every single time he plays against them.

Kristaps is the real deal. Can’t believe Phil was going to put this dude on the trade block. He’s the best thing to happen to the Knicks in many, many years.

Advanced stats and the eye test leads to the same conclusion. He’s the fucking man. He will be top 10 once the season is done…

Should be the 3rd forward selected in the all star game behind LeBron and Giannis.

Side note on the Knicks both a good and bad look…

They are handily beating bad teams which is good, but they giving up huge early leads in hit about every game they lead this season. I blame that mostly on the offense simply not functioning when porzingis is out but also on hardaway being streaky as fuck and straight disappearing for entire halfs sometimes.
