Don't let his calm and coolness fool you, every player get nervous especially when they get compared to Hof greats, to live up to that expectation is hard to do, unless you are lebron level type of player, no one said ball would be the next Jordan but he will be a recognized goat like the glove, or Barkley (except ball will win a ring). Trust me, he's got a taste of what the NBA is like now, and desu if it wasn't for his poor shooting, he did great game 1, now that he's adjusted to the range of the NBA 3, i predict he will shoot 47%-51% from 3 and 50% from the field and thats on top of his average of 5 assists, and 2 steals, 1 block.

He got btfo on defense and had only 2 more assists than turnovers. He literally got dunked on.

>>77003802
listen, my lakers just did what teams have taken 10+ years to do, and that was get rid of a player that just didn't fit well, or didn't get it done. you always hear, "if kings would have got rid of boogie earlier" and when the clippers got rid of cp3, it allowed them to move one. Good thing we didn't take a million years to do it.

Dennis Smith and DeAaron Fox had better point guard games than Lonzo Airball.

In his later years at Utah Hayward was handling the ball plenty, they might let IT walk and give Hayward the keys at point guard, and play Tatum and Brown et al in small ball line ups.

It's literally impossible to score 6 points on 80 percent shooting. Anon should have said 8 points on 80 percent shooting.

LONZO BALL WILL HAVE A GOOD GAME TONIGHT

doesn't even deserve my you. ill let lonzo's game do the shitposting for me.

its not though. you're a millennial with a microscopic attention span who thinks a sport is boring unless there is literally endless scoring, even if that endless scoring actually ultimately makes each score worthless and a waste of time to watch

you're literally watching preseason games full of players who wont make the roster for a sport that has the next 2-3 championships decided already (the warriors) and rigged officiating and think that its entertaining

>>77005922
I love baseball, it just feels like that summer league is more popular than baseball right now

>>77005838
Baseball is so boring.
And they seem to enjoy being so.

This whole "Play the game the RIGHT way" is so stupid.

If anyone shows any emotion or act like they are having fun the league is ok with them getting a beanball their next at bat.

And their solution to making games more interesting is to eliminate the intentional walk.

So out of touch.

its not just that. I like soccer a lot more than baseball and baseball has more scoring. Baseball culture is so old fashioned and rigid. Baseball has tons of minorities but still finds a reason to have everyone confirm to the boring white collared rules. There is a reason why the demographics of baseball is growing older.

the sad things is I dont think the magic are tanking

>>77005953
July and August are basically the worst time for baseball. It's when it changes from an actually closely followed sport to the "it's the only sport being played so let's just go to a game and sit there"

>>77005954
baseball is really out of touch. their players and league are so boring. why cant they be more in touch with young people like the NBA is with their constant influx of rappers, politics, social media and tabloid storylines to create drama in the league

>>77006126
And why is that a bad thing? Baseball likes to fashion itself as a team sport and that no individual is more important than everyone else, which is true, since a game is really like a bunch of 1v1 matchups all game long

In fact, this thing the NBA does where it only promotes superstars is fucking cancer

Lonzo is playing better without Ingram dribbling the air out of the ball

>>77006179
it doesnt matter. And this is me saying that after watching bam rape in orlando.

baseball is an individual game masqueraded as a team sport. Basketball is more about creating stars and that has helped basketball become a clear second sport

Lonzo is going to be an old school guard. He is pass first so its better to have him with the ball.

God damn, Lonzo's passes are sick as shit. I don't give a shit about the haters or the hype train. He is fun to watch. Fuck off with your austistic hatred and ESPN talking head shit. I just want to watch fun basketball again.

>>77006957
elite point guards have the natural ability to score and aren't a liability from the pick and roll

>idiot team mates stand around while clock winds down to 2 seconds
>pass the ball to lonzo
>lonzo has to chuck and ruin his FG%
>later on lonzo makes laser pass to cutting team mate
>instead of shooting they dribble around like an idiot first so lonzo doesn't get the assist
>or they fucking miss the shot
>or they don't even catch the pass and make him turn the ball over
>or they do literally anything except give him an assist

it's like his idiot team mates are doing everything possible to sabotage his stat line and make him look bad.

I think D-leaguers are upset Magic is handing the keys to him and want to destroy his career with subtle shit moves.

THERE YOU FUCKERS. YOU WANTED HIM TO DRIVE TO THE BASKET? DONE.

Summer league is the equivalent of the D-League....I wouldn't take anything that happens too seriously until you see the new rookies in action against actual NBA players

>>77007052
Dennis Smith would've had 15 or so assists if his teammates knew how to catch a ball or shoot open 3 pointers

>>77006957
Given his good passing and lack of shooting, Lonzo looks like a black version of Rick Rubio.
