**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[licensed to ball]

You dudes wanna ***** about everything. DLo’s eye brows, Ingram being too skinny, zo’s Dad talking too much, and now zo being a horrible teammate because he walked away from a fake *** **** mEasuring contest between two dudes who were never gonna fight.

Shut the hell up and enjoy the fact we have young talent to watch grow over the next few yyears. It’s ******* basketball

 

[CP1708]

I expect typical rookie struggles, but the blown wide open layups, extreme clank misses and Deandre Jordan FT percentage is alarming

Hopefully he’ll overcome like billups and not end up like mateen cleaves

Jesus Christ.

The Coach and Players who are in the locker room with him every single day love the guy, but NT'ers know better from their moms basements. For sure.

Always, it'll probably be after the New Year though, my sis is getting us tix to the Dubs game in a couple weeks. I'm thinking vs OKC on 2/8 that way you can come celebrate my 30th with me .

Honestly, been thinking about this whole situation now for a minute and my only conclusion is that Lonzo is just not ready. He is still a child. Physically, mentally, emotionally. All of it. He is just not there yet. I firmly believe at 6'6 190 hes scared to bang with the big boys. Mentally adn emotionally it shows too - his bro is in China, he regresses. His shots don't go in, he regresses. All behaviors of a child thrown into the mix cold turkey - maybe thats not whats best for him.

I think in hind site we are going to look back and wish we would have just been more patient with him. Bringing him off the bench initially (too late for that now) and easing him into his role. The fight last night sort of solidified this rhetoric for me. He is 14 at heart and he will need more time. I know people grilled D'lo for this too but D'lo was precocious- with his tattoos, cuts in his brows, pointing to his veins etc. He wanted to act like the man but couldn't. Lonzo is quiet and reserved because he's legit scared. He's the equivalent of a pre-pubescent 7th grader from the burbs going to high school in Compton (Hope I don't offend anyone). A 7th grader with lots of potential and talent sure and thats why I think he'll be alright but I fear that people wont be patient with him.

Earl Watson said it well when he said he would tell Lonzo that its ok to fail. Its ok to be scared. Talk to him about personal stuff not just basketball. Get inside the mind of Lonzo. Ease him into it. Unfortunately Lavar has a lot to do with this too and why this wasn't the approach.

Bro....what the hell are you talking about please just calm down

PSSHHHH.... I’m sayin...

 

[vtotheinay]

watching lonzo on offense is just comical at this point now

 

[fearless]

Loving it . hope we dont blow up the lead like usual

 

[delete1234]

how can anyone hate on Clarkson this season....smh dude balling

 

[DLF]

hate that we have a huge lead. another L for us.

 

[DLF]

nevermind. Jokic and coach out. Nuggets aint coming back

 

[fearless]

We better win this game . refs are on our side lol

 

[DLF]

hilarious. Lonzo missed a floater and the nuggets commentators said "oh missed lob to Brook there." and he was being serious.

 

[DLF]

lonzo playing great (relatively speaking). He's doing so many things today that wont show on the stat sheet. even nuggets commentators are noticing it

 

[delete1234]

lonzo hooping

 

[trynafeelmink]

Games like this is why i say people are completely overeacting about his physical capabilities. All the talk of him not being able to get past his man or him being"slow" is BS. he's been pretty decent doing both, it's just that he still terrible at scoring right now. But he does have the ability to actually get into the lane, hopefully he really works on finishing

 

[sohi 23]

Shoutout to Rodney Mott for the W.

@ tossing Jokic for that

 

[CP1708]

Gonna get triple double #2 in his first 15+ games and we have fans freaking out about him.
