[jjgold]

[Fire in da hole]

[Bostongambler]

They are a terrible team with him as well.

[mackave]

Coach please call

I am concerned about your mental health

[aireent777]

They need Phil back.

[MinnesotaFats]

Team is fun to watch and generally in every game till the 4th qtr with him in there.

His shooting sucks but he gets the ball up court and pressures other teams D, creating shots for teammates, which in turn gives them open looks.

I like watching the Lakers, especially in those throwback MPLS uniforms!

Fatty are they the "most complete team" in the NBA

Steve Jordan and Jim Marshall HOFers

Mack any NBA guys knows they are 50% better with Ball, he was starting to come around

[Hman]

I think a fair assessment of Lonzo ball is 'More heart than talent.'

[t-wizzle]

JJ cmon gueye.

[aireent777]

Kid has talent though.

[Auto Donk]

poor JJ....

he's got Ball and my balls on his mind.....

LOL

For all the grief you've given me you have to admit my premise that Wentz was due to get beat up and Philly going nowhere in post season is going to pan out!

I'll buy you a beer in Costa Rica for the bad break, another to celebrate a Vikings SB win and a 3rd we toast to Cousins getting $30mm per year for the soon to be 10-6 Skins, east champs in 2018!

[MinnesotaFats]

Steve Jordan and Jim Marshall HOFers

Jim Marshall belongs in... that's not even a debate.

Jordan was great, the best in the late 80s, but his stats don't hold up in the evolution of the position. However his 3x all pro does.

[MrSink]

exactly

[Auto Donk]

i love jim marshall....

and his f'n pick six.....

Marshall made the Pro Bowl only twice in close to 20 year career. He was only one of the elite 10% of the time in his career, so how in the world does he make the HOF where the best of the best reside?

While you're at it, you might as well add Robert Smith and many other Vikings that had NICE careers but no way in hell HOFers.

[Auto Donk]

but he did make that quasi-bbc porno "I Escaped From Devil's Island"...... and that counts for something....

started the bbc white chick craze in the 70's.....

oh wait, that was another hall of famer Jim.....

Brown.....

his injury wasn't because he was beat up, he injured the ACL on the cut and cheap turf in SOCAL (obviously set up by the rams). You lucked out on your eagles predictions, I will give you that....I'll take the 2nd beer if MINNY wins.....I wouldn't be surprised to see Cousins dealt in the off season

When are you in CR

[SharpAngles]

Decent

Kid is ROY material

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Lonzo wouldn't win ROT, never mind ROY.

What are you talking about?

4 time pro bowl, 4 time 2nd team all pro.

Retired as career leader in games and consecutive starts and if they had a sack stat he'd be right up there.

4 time super bowl runner up

20 year career

[JIBBBY]

Lakers should trade Ball for a proven Veteran player while he's still worth something.... Lakers are all a bunch of kids playing in a mans game.. Cellar team again this year..

[jjgold]

Ball is becoming effective

I know the game

They need to trade Randle and Clarkson for veteran defense. Trading Ball, Kuzma or Ingram will not happen and would be a stupid move

[cwnotorious]

Randle has got to go

[JIBBBY]

Clarkson is actually better the Lonzo Ball.. Randle is decent but just another average roll player on any team pretty much.. Lakers are just full of average basketball players that are young and athletic...

Looks like the all rookie team to me.... Ingram and Kuzma are really the only 2 with real promise on the team.. Those 2 should be your only sleeper keepers IMO..

you are correct about the pro bowl, my error.

that said, he is not a HOFer and there's a reason he is 80 years old and still not in....because he never will be..

[MinnesotaFats]

There is a push at Vikings headquarters to get him in.

He will arrive in purple glory in Canton soon.

I'm going to flip again and stand by my original statement that Marshall only made 2 Pro Bowls.

Wikipedia says what you claim but Pro Football Reference says otherwise...I tend to believe that Wikipedia has the incorrect stats in this case.

[jjgold]

wait and see when he comes back

Lakers will be tough again
