Good call ! LMAO! 9 losses in a row!

We ALL can laugh. Another terrible FF sports thought.

Paul George gets it. Not surprising since he's a professional basketball player who understands the game.


Some really strong praise there highlighted by this...

As far as basketball player he is, at his age, one of the best basketball players that has played this game

Not surprisingly the Lakers are epically bad without Lonzo. Losing every game by about 20 pts. All those Lakers players that everyone was raving bout earlier in the year, they've all gone to shit and been exposed as nothing more than ISO chuckers without Lonzo around to push the pace and get them the ball in favorable spots.

Or not.

Lonzo played well and shot well. Also had a highlight reel dunk and move on Kemba Walker.


Greg Popovich says plus minus is baloney, IMU swears by it.

Another solid effort for Lonzo, 13 pts (5/13 shooting), 10 boards, 6 assists, 2 TO, 1 steal, Win.


Oh yea, he led all starters in IMU's favorite stat, but I'm sure he just forgot to post that this morning.

Like I said, only know nothing nerds who don't know shit about sports rely on +/-

-Popovich


On that note, someone better go back and change the narrative from last night's game. All the highlight shows talked about what a great game Brandon Ingram had, but clearly they didn't look closely at the all important +/- cause Ingram was even for the game despite his team winning with ease.

Another fantastic game for Lonzo, carried his team to victory. It's amazing to see how much better this team is when Lonzo is on the floor.

Only 5 points on 2-10 shooting, but 11 boards, 11 assists, 1 turnover and 5 steals and a block. AND OMG HE WUZ +33 IN A 12 POINT WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!

Played much better than Fox who scored a few points, but did literally nothing else to help his team and WUZ A MINUS 25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't have to go game by game but do the research (or don't) He was outscored 32 to 0 in a game and we were told that he played well. When he doesn't do shit it's the ball stopping teammates. He hasn't performed well this year overall. If a person had to venture between whether he is a bust or a star he still trends more towards bust. His shooting percentages were at historic lows throughout much of the year yet we were bombarded with a steady stream of how great he played.



A person can tell you anything but the proof is in the posting. I don't think there has been one post informing this guy as to the amount of shit that he is full of with stuff. If there has I have missed it and he definitely hasn't been subjected to the "If you make up shityou are going to be hit over the head for it" treatment. Blow smoke up another person's ass with that one.

There has been disagreement but it hasn't been much and it has tended to be extremely respectful for the most part. I say respectful relative to the level of Bullshit spewed.

You didn't expect my source to be an ESPN writer did you? They sold their collective souls a while ago when it comes to ball.

You need to review the board history of shakes vs IMU, or shakes vs others. It exists.

I think shakes is wrong in his evaluation of Lonzo Ball. That evidence is located in this thread. But I don't think he is off his rocker. Lonzo could be a slightly better Rubio. That plays in this league. But yes, this season, he simply a league average player. His BPM and VORP (I know you hate these) show as much. When he is on the court, his team outscores the other team by 0.5 points per 100 possessions. Conversely, you weight scoring above all else, so you undervalue Lonzo. Kris Dunn, last season, shot the ball only marginally better than Lonzo this season.

I don't know who told you Lonzo played great in the game he scored 0, I don't remember which game that was. But it wasn't me.

He can be slightly better than Rubio but that isn't "great". We are bombarded with a steady stream of his greatness (and conversely how wrong people are about him) without little to no rebuke. I don't know about the history of other stuff but it is fairly obvious to me at least that he has received a pass for such inane thoughts. 312 is about the only guy that I can remember (besides me) that has really called it for the B.S. that this happens to be. Big Chicagoan has dissented but he has been mostly respectful.



No one knows what he will be in the future. He could be great. He isn't now however and to consistently be reminded of it after each and every game without so much as a retort in most cases says a lot about so called board credibility.

I've never seen LTG school any one this badly, let alone resident NBA expert FavreFan. What a friday!

The only Lonzo apologist on this board seems to be Shakes.

I agree he seems like he will be a solid pro but not a game changer.

He gets a pass on being an apologist though. It is difficult not to see that he isn't that great but why do idiotic comments go unabated? Has there been a sig? ?Where are the gifmeisters that are right there for you in other instances? Has anything been bumped in conjunction with the crap this often spewed with regard to Ball's performance? He has been given a pass.
