One of my biggest takeaways was how passive and unaggressive Lonzo was....he really let Beverly bully and rough him up without even attempting to stand up for himself.. ur attitude and demeanor also carries a lot

He'll be alright. Ain't too many asshole point guards out there that wanna play that style like Dirty Pat.

I mean it's his first REAL game in the league plus when you growing up I bet lonzo was like beverley sucks but when you actually get in the league you find how good these guys really are. That was the wrong PG to have your first game against

I don't think you should read too much into it

Hardaway was perfect for the hawks cuz they emphasizs ball movement.

Imagine him on the spurs replacing danny green.

Hardaway would suck because he doesn't play defense and had a shitty shot selection. So most likely unless he changed he would be riding the pine next to Udoka

Green works because he can take criticism, plays defense, knows his lane and stays in it. The 1st game this season he did do a little more than usual though. Maybe his handle is getting a bit better.

One game. OK, you still don’t have your own shoe, you are still not your own boss,” he continued. “I know why you are looking at me. And you want to tell me that I got your son! Well I got two more you can try to get some of, too. They will be here, don’t worry about it. I don’t worry about one game.”

Lavar on his dame dash

Btw this is probably the first thing I don't like lavar saying or doing

In one training camp, Willy Hernangomez went from franchise cornerstone to waiting for garbage time. The 23-year-old, touted by the front office as a core piece, was a DNP until the final four minutes of Thursday’s 105-84 blowout defeat to the Thunder. Jeff Hornacek said New York’s surplus of centers left Hernangomez as the odd-man out behind Enes Kanter and Kyle OQuinn. The coach relayed that message to the Spaniard on Thursday morning. “We have a lot of bigs,” Hornacek said. “(O’Quinn) and Enes earned the minutes in training camp. Willy’s not far behind. He’s got to keep working. When you got that many bigs, you can’t play them all. The other guys earned the minutes. I told all three of them it doesn’t matter if you’re in the rotation or out of rotation. If you’re in it, you’ve got to earn it to keep it.

Once again I think that was because of the game being in OKC. I bet next game he's on the bench

Kanter didn't earn shit I saw that interview and he barely played Herns in preseaaon. Kanter clogs the fuck out of tbe paint and is allergic to anything but posting up two defenders. Sidenote I'm sure Ron is here because of him and that"he plays the right way" "he plays hard and hustles" bullshit that white people love saying.

I'd rather we trade his ass back and keep Doug

im not really talking bout his stat line...im talking bout allowing Beverly to push him around bully him, talk shit and etc...he should ve stood up for himself..the Lakers need a leader and seeing the guy thats expected to be that getting punked aint a good look

Put it like this elzo, nobody asserts themselves on their first day of work..

I think ZO did well for his first game in the NBA against arguably the best defensive guard in the league. Let’s not act like Patrick hasn’t slowed down if not stopped some of the best pg’s in the league. ZO played a first team defensive guard with a team displaying brook lopez as a shooter. The kid will be fine. He also needs to hit the weights.

I'm saying that the harassing style by Beverley is not the norm. No need for Zo trying to out tough Dirty Pat or even get in his feelings. It's kinda like how Josh Norman did Odell. Once the others seen Odell act all sensitive over physical play it made other players wanna copy that game plan and get in his head. If Zo stays cool then other players will realize they are wasting their time and just picking up silly fouls. He'll be alright.

Beverley said like 3 weeks he was gonna lock lonzo mack up.Duke pops did all that talkin now he put a bullseye on his back and lonzo is like kidd with a 3 he's not gonna take over games droppin 30-40 he'll get his assist,tap rebounds to teamates,throw the ball ahead get triple doubles or flirt with triple doubles like young kidd but he's not gonna be killin cats like curry or kyrie
