Lol another lame, “its made up” excuse. Lol, posting facts is not making stuff up. Stats posted are not “made up”

Jrue crushing Dame is not “made up”

Ad/jrue/bi getting hatred like they suck is not made up.

This boards obsession with Zo isnt made up either. Its weird.

I wouldn’t say this board, like Jrue defenders or favors haters, there is a very vocal niche of posters that are incredibly sensitive to anything but consistent and constant sunshine pumping, or constant derision, depending on the position, anything less is dismissed as haterism or fanboyism and the person treated like a caricature and their arch enemy. You honestly don’t see it but you are doing it a bit in your own right tbh.

The idea that someone could appreciate Jrue but question his long-term fit, be frustrated than elated at Lonzo’s season growth, but still optimistically critical, are the sort of nuanced positions/conversational space those very vocal niche members that want everything in black and white cant seem to process or function in,

It’s made the downtime on this board in between lead ups to games and breaking news a bit of a slog.

It's highly exaggerated by you.

I'd say at least 75% of the board wanted Lonzo repackaged for other assets in the AD trade.

You also seem to be basing this board's obsession on an argument you created and framed as Lonzo vs. Moore. Former #2 pick who is at least starter quality vs. a solid bench player is just silly. Of course people are going to think Lonzo is better than Moore. That does not make them obsessed with Lonzo.

It's not at all weird. Again, most of us wanted him cashed out, now he's playing like he's a good long term fit with the core. He exceeded expectations which is why people are now very excited. Yet another piece of evidence about how you are mischaracterizing the board's take on Lonzo. How could he exceed our expectations "putting up basically the same stats he always has" if this board has always been obsessed with him.

Seriously guys, it's time to stop this circular back and forth nonsense. Lonzo played terribly to start the season because he was still recovering from a season of rehab rather than work. It was right to doubt him then, or at least wonder what was wrong with him, but he turned a corner in his recovery, "got his legs back under him" and is now playing like an exciting long term prospect next to Zion and Ingram.
