    Lonzo Ball NBA Debut

    Thinking Clippers win. For some reason I root for him even though his dad.

    I can't remember ever rooting against some young kid more than I do Lonzo. The old man is every bit as despicable (probably more so) as Kris Jenner.....and that's saying something.

    What lavar is doing to Lamelo is borderline child abuse. At least Lonzo had a somewhat normal upbringing and seems adjusted. His little brother is a disaster waiting to happen.

    he looks so vanilla and nervous out there
    basic dribbles and just tryin to get ball out of his hands as quick as possible
    he also looks like a corpse of a clown without face paint on

    and yes , Ingram is a bust

    Coach Rivers said he wants player Rivers to be a Ginobili type off the bench. That's a good one. Comparing your son who should be playing in Europe to a top 10 2-guard of all time.

    Lakers are a dirt poor team, and they're going to be dirt poor for a very long time.

    Lakers should immediately trade Ingram and Randle for whatever they can get. Just get rid of all the Jim Buss/Mitch Kupchak garbage

    Laker fans must have to check their pride at the door. How can one possibly root for this particularly unlikeable group of players......and with LaVar in the stands? They will soon be (already are) the laughing stock of the league.

    Nobody but the most myopic of Lakers fans believed that this team was going to do anything in the West this year. Most of this roster will not be here next year. Those of us who grew up in the 80's with Magic and Worthy had to endure Sedale Threatt and Cedric Ceballos. Then we got Shaq and Kobe and Kobe and Gasol. We will get through this era and win again.

    Lonzo Ball was all hype. Look at this dude. He's not athletic like a Rose or Westbrook. He's not lightning quick like A.I. or Wall. He's not a pure shooter like a Curry or Booker. He's not good defensively like a Kidd or Rondo. What makes this kid so great? I think LA drafted this kid to sale tickets. No way they drafted him to win rings.

    Randel- Bust
    Russell- Bust
    Ingram- Bust
    Ball- Bust


    Who is the idiot drafting these players for the Lakers?

    Yeah, but you guys have zero pride. ZERO. They'd put Katelyn Jenner out there on the court if they thought it would sell tickets. Tell me with a straight face that you're not ashamed to have LaVar Ball as the spokesperson of your franchise? Sad!

    LA is a hype city. They're clinically delusional. He who can conjure up the best delusion wins.

    Enter the Ball father..

    LaVar Ball has nothing to do with the franchise. Here in LA he is a non issue. I can understand that on the outside it looks like he makes a lot of noise, but this is a noisy town and his nonsense gets drowned out. Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka and to a lesser extent Jeannie Buss are the faces of the Lakers. This franchise has 16 championships. They have plenty of pride.

    Mitch Kupchak and Jimmy Buss drafted the first 3 and they got fired. I think it's a tad early to call Ball a bust there chief.

    Did you expect them to? They are a 30 win team, maybe 35 if they get lucky.

    They had a chance to get Paul George. If they'd done so, maybe next year James would follow. Now they have Ingram & Lopez etc

    They were projected to win 33 games (most books). I expected them to be around 25. They will be a bit better when KCP has served his suspension.

    Jake, were you at the game?

    What an embarrassment that was.

    I agree with you on Ingram at Randle. Worthless. Ball might be, too. He looked like a softy out there.
