How much longer is Lonzo Ball going to be out? I think Lakers fans are getting antsy. There’s only so much Alex Caruso and Tyler Ennis a fanbase can handle before they start burning down buildings.
Maybe I’m reading the situation wrong. Maybe they’re really happy that the team is sucking and that they get to root ironically for Caruso (not Ennis though) while waiting for Trae Young to fall into their laps. There might have been expectations for playoffs (?????) at the beginning of the season, but now it’s easy enough to watch a varied assortment of off-kilter players run around for 48 minutes while Luke Walton wishes he was still playing for the Cavaliers.
Caruso is good for some entertainment, to be sure. He dunks it way more often than it looks like he should be able to, and he can zip some nice passes around when the need arises. That’s way more than can be said for Ennis, who, and I say this with a heavy heart since I was semi-hyped for him on the Bucks, just doesn’t look good out there.
