re: Lonzo looking great in his febut

LaVar has used controversy to make money and drum up publicity all off-season. And, hey, I have to kinda admire what he's been able to accomplish with his brand...he's a hell of a marketer.

It's the other edge of the sword now though. Part of the backlash from acting like that is he's put a gigantic target on his kid's back and guys are gonna go at him. It's put up or shut up time now that the season is underway.

Unless you think Patrick Beverley was trying extra hard and doesn't usually go all out but did for this one?

Beverley was absolutely singling the guy out. He always busts his arse on defense but his one goal in that game was to shut down Ball.
