Analysis:
Happy Ingram and Lonzo had a bounce back game, but there are still some serious problems we have that need fixing. Offensively we looks so much more in sync today and I think that has more to do with the rotations Luke put in, so good job for that. The rotations yesterday were fucking mind numbing.
Lonzo went from being the most ass finisher I have ever seen to great in the fourth quarter. The move where he bumped into Chandler and put it in surprised the hell out of me, I am also a fan of the turn around baseline jumper he goes for. He still needs to get bigger and go for more fucking dunks when he finishes, idk if its his ankle that is bothering him but he hasn't had a dunk in both games yet. Lonzo's defensive efforts have also been great and a big improvement over SL & college.
Ingram was basically the person I was happiest about, he knocked down shots and was working with confidence. The last shot he took before the half was ballsy but also fucking stupid, if he missed that people would have been pissed because it was a dumb play. He still ISOs too much sometimes, but he was passing out of it more last night. Missing that last three that would have given Lonzo the triple double still hurts, but it is what it is.
Brook Lopez has been getting us buckets but has still been kinda tepid for me so far. He's clearly our best player, but I think he hasn't had a chance to make an impact yet. He had some nice fucking moves down low though early on and kept us in the game. Also 11 boards for him is really good.
Our defense was good for 3 quarters then became booty. It's better than when we would only play decent-good defense for the half but then give up in the second half, but there is so much more room for improvement on that end.
Corey Brewer is a boss and I am sorry for shitting on him yesterday. But he still needs to catch those on the money outlets Zo gives him and finish it, jmon.
Randle has been disappointing as fuck. Looks dejected, like he doesn't want to be there, made really stupid plays in his last few seconds on the court and it's clear he is mad about being relegated to our second unit. He needs to grow the fuck up, because it's becoming more and more obvious Kuzma should be starting over him with LNJ as our back up. Really frustrating to see his attitude and how its been.
Sometimes you have to look at the tape and not the narrative and box score
