Hornets lose to a celtics team with no kyrie, no horford and no white guy that got injured in game 1. Held a 10-15 pt lead into the 4th quarter where they went 9 minutes and scored 5 points to blow it. Fuckin pathetic

What impressed me about Lonzo's game was that he also had 3 steals and 4 blocks to go along with his triple double.

You just made that same joke...

It's not Lonzo's fault the lakers are terrible. They have no one who can even kind of run the offense outside of him. They lead the nba in turnovers. On a per 36 basis, they have THIRTEEN PLAYERS averaging over two turnovers a game. Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson average four each

I don't watch them enough to know if that's a lack of talent or corching, but neither of it is Lonzo's fault.

He still can't shoot doe

First, it's not the same joke. The first post is directed to the fact that Milwaukee won. The second post points out that, regardless of who the opponent was, and regardless of what Mr. Ball achieved individually, his team still lost.

Second, to me, the latter point is more important, to me. Because I think it's kind of silly to fawn all over individual achievements to the point that we forget the outcome of the game. Mr. Ball had a triple-double, that's nice, but his team still lost. What's more important, becoming the youngest player to have a triple-double, or winning the game? It should be the former, because that's the entire point of playing the game, but based on the emphasis so many people on individual stats, I imagine most folks would say the latter is more important.

Apologies if I'm less than super impressed by a guy barely getting a triple double who is his team's only good player and has the ball in his hands the entire game.

Randle

and depending on your fandom, you might think Randle is on his way to perennial AS appearances

or he might just be one of the worst hyped Kentucky big men to come outta that program. He's decent, but still struggles on defense imo.

The Lakers actually have a good core of young players.

They have six players 25 years old or younger who averaging over 11 pts/game and also give decent rebounding or defense. This does not include Lonzo Ball. While they have several "good" young players, none of them are "great" players now and it is uncertain whether any of them are future All Star caliber players.
