re: 2022-23 Lakers Thread

the fact that lebron is winning with this lineup, at this age, putting up these numbers, is insane. ...
Meh. BI or no BI, Zion will figure it out. There is no blueprint to stopping great players. If there were he wouldn’t have scored 26 on 12 shots tonight because everybody would be doing it. Also Zion has had big games against both the Bucks and Grizzlies in the past. Non-issue ...

What’s not fair is Zion’s consistent dominance. Crazy to think a guy can put up 36 on 19 shots two days after a 40 piece and we basically yawn. When you can chalk up an ultra efficient 30 every night, you just need a few guys to make shots on a given night and you will have a chance to win....

Intentionally stepped back behind the line, wanted the pass and when he got it didn’t hesitate. You love to see it. He’s nothing like Simmons, playing off him doesn’t really work anyway, but if he’ll shoot take those regularly, it just make things that much easier for him. ...
He has four titles, including one with the lakers. We should all be lucky enough to have that sort of “problem”...
i agree that number needs to be about 18-22 shots - and frankly probably at least 3 or 4 of those should be threes. giannis, for example takes 21 shots a game and over the last four years has averaged just under 4 three point attempts per game. zion appears to be a better 3pt shooter than gian...

zion was excellent defensively last night - especially in the 4th and OT. ...
sometimes it looks like it's almost painful for him to defer to Zion. ...

re: Zion is WC player of the week

going to be hard for the number on the right to increase much once BI gets back, right? If I understand the stat correctly?...
entirely unnecessary. but suns tears are the best tears. rip their hearts out zw...
yeah, jose was small, older and was an inconsistent shooter. guys like that will rarely get drafted - though his senior season he took a leap from an efficiency standpoint making what he's done so far as a scorer not too out of left field. ...
+/- on a one game sample is worthless ...
He’d be an incredible fit, but for the same reasons he’s an amazing fit with Giannis. Bucks aren’t letting him get away. ...
You say duh, but the reality is when both BI and CJ are out there, Zion has struggled to get 15-18 shots - which is what he should be getting EVERY game. And his touches are limited as well. ...
