Lonzo led everyone in points, assists and boards.

Thank you Patrick Beverly.

 

[Derwind]

Lonzo came up big this game after that mild debut.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Triple double next game. He didnt want to dissappoint the haters too bad tonight.

Wow those refs towards the end were trash that said wooooooO!

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Lonzo the real deal, baby. Let's goooooo.

 

[DirtyManos]

Drop Ingram, how dare he cost the Ball family their first triple double.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Zotime baby

Magic did it again! Kuzma needs to start. Lakers need to be on Kuz Control.

It was nice to see Lonzo punish the Suns when they went under the screen. They dared him to shoot and he made them pay.

NBA.com/Stats @nbastats 13m13 minutes ago
Lonzo Ball tallied 29 PTS, 11 REB, 9 AST in the @Lakers victory.

He's the youngest player since LeBron James (2005) to post those numbers.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Finally got to see Lopez, Kuz, BI, and Zo on the court together... and it was good. SHOCKING.

THANK YOU FOR WAKING THE FUCK UP LUKE

I love seeing the ball family success

Dropping (near) trip dub on the Suns, is his number retired yet?

It's impressive no matter who it was against.

I for one welcome our new Ball overlords

They played like lazy motherfuckers who didn't give a fuck.

They are good enough to turn it on but that arrogance and those bad habits could kill them if a playoff team jumps on them early and steals game 1 and homecourt.

People said this last year. 16-1.

 

[DaMasta113]

What's going on with Fultz?

This is weak. Who cares? Lonzo is who you should be paying attention to.

They actually didn't say that. People only said how there was no way anyone was beating them. Same goes for this year.

Huh? Lonzo had a good game.

 

[hitme]

Would sell myself for a pair of BBB's.

 

[norm9]

Real deal BBB. BI needs to step up.

 

[Sandfox]

What's going on with Fultz?

Apparently he has a shoulder injury, but his jumper and ft stroke have changed since he came into the NBA and are completely broken now. Dude should slap the Sixers shooting coach because his shooting motion looks like Barkley's golf swing.

100%.

So is this his permanent new shooting form?

If he really is injured why is he playing? Seems very unlike the Sixers.

It was a common sentiment. Lotta folks loved to point out how arrogant the Warriors played, especially when they "struggled" in the beginning of last season. They're front runners, they get lazy, etc. Warriors are going to give up 100 plus a game on average just like last season and the season before because of the pace they play at. But they're gonna drop 120 points at the least so it doesn't really matter.

No one in the league can keep up.

 

[Ronin Ray]

They dont want to waste Embiid's 15 games this year. Got to get his chemistry up with the rest of the team so he can play 20 games next year

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Well the Sixers let Embiid play with a torn meniscus.....

 

[Sandfox]

100%.



So is this his permanent new shooting form?

-In college his had a solid jumper, though he needed to work on his consistency
-His stroke looked suspect in his pre-draft workout footage
-Before the season started Mike Schmitz(One of the Draftexpress guys that jumped to ESPN) among other started calling Fultz out on his shot and he said that he was just testing things, which made little sense
-Now he's saying that it's because of his shoulder, but he's still playing on it

I have no idea what's going on there.

If he really is injured why is he playing? Seems very unlike the Sixers.

They said it's not serious, but apparently it's serious enough to make him change how he shoots.

Feels like something fishy is going on.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Feels like something fishy is going on.

Feels like he fucked up his form and they are trying to find an excuse to cover it up.

 

[Sandfox]

Feels like something fishy is going on.

I forgot to mention it in my last post, but he hasn't attempted a single three pointer so far this season and apparently isn't shooting them in warm ups either. His shoulder is clearly messed up more than the Sixers are telling us.

 

[juliushandle]

KCP's return will finally get the Lakers defense in check.

Ingram was finally showed his potential. Clarkson also looking much more in control this year.

Randle though got very lazy on defense and Luke let him know about it.

Kuzma though cannot be denied his playing time. Dude looked amazing out there in limited minutes. He scores, passes, and doesn't look lost playing defense.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lonzo was one dime shy of the youngest triple-double in @NBA history. Current holder: LeBron at 20 years, 20 days. Ball turns 20 on Oct. 27.

Lavar about to beat Ingram’s ass

The whole thing seems so strange to me.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I thought the issue with Fultz is that the Sixers were unaware that he was messing with his shot?

If I have it right that's what happened at first and then they claimed he was injured but kept playing him anyways.

Now he's doing this in games:

Yes, he never would have passed that up in college even on an injury



Something is seriously wrong here

Happy to see the Pelicans get some attention here. Despite having two starters out (not to mention Frank Jackson who I think could play nicely for us, thanks Pelicans curse), I watched the game this morning and that first half was so sexy. Against maybe any other team that would have been a win. I think most of what I have read on the subreddit is optimism despite the loss.
