It’s tough to compete when you can’t make open shots. The Pels have had the shots tonight, they just simply can’t make them outside of BI and Zion.

Lonzo is playing with zero confidence. They are going to have to bench him.

How the hell can Stan justify not benching Lonzo


i assume griff and co told stan you gotta start the guy to try and raise his trade value

little does he know, every minute lonzo plays, that value will continue to drop

i thought he'd be playing in israel in a few years, but now i dont think hes even good enough to play overseas

I mean we've got to change the defensive game plan. You can get by not defending the perimeter great with some teams, but this isn't one of them. They will pick you apart.

Lonzo's defense is not good enough to make up for not being able to hit a three, layup, or free throw.



I’m telling you, he needs to be used like an early career Marcus Smart.

That’s his skill level and ideal role right now.

Basically how Hart is used, that is how Lonzo needs to be used but as a guard defender.

He should not be starting

yeah this probably isn't the right team to just dare to shoot open 3s all night

This team has sucked shooting all year.
Lonzo has just been plain terrible this year.

2 of 12 from 3 and only 5 free throws.

That ain't gonna do it.

Lonzo is 1 of 6 and truly deserving of being benched and losing the bulk of his minutes.

I feel like the more we start him with this lineup the lower his trade value is falling.

Edit: I just don’t understand why Lonzo is basically treated by this FO/coaching staff like he’s a max player? Guaranteed starting role, guaranteed minutes, high usage. I’ll say, at least Gentry had the balls to bench him

Count up another brick from lonzo. Would've thought he would've come out aggressive after his backup played better than him, but he looks even worse

Shooters shoot...but unfortunately Lonzo isn't aware he's not a shooter.

Our 3 guards (Bledsoe, lonzo, hart) are a solid 3/17 shooting

I don’t want Lonzo to be any more aggressive. I want him passive on the bench

I was open to seeing how this team played. I’ve seen enough to know that they have to get NBA level shooters. Zion has been dominant thus far but all Utah has to do to counter is have Gobert shadow him and have a guy only worry about BI. They literally don’t have to worry about three guys.

I don’t get to watch the Pela much in Iowa..

This roster is a mess. Hahaha

Don’t know how they thought this would work.
