I don’t want to make anybody mad (actually I sort of do in a perverse way), but is Kyle Kuzma a better rookie than Lonzo Ball? One is averaging 19/7/2 per 36 on 53% shooting, and the other is averaging 11/7/7 per 36 on 33% shooting. Being a highly-drafted point guard might be more difficult…

Read MoreBrandon Ingram 19 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2017)
First the Suns beat a non D-League team, and now the Lakers beat the Wizards? How am I supposed to dump on teams for being the worst in the league if they keep winning games? If the Knicks come out and win a game within their next five, I’m gonna through up my hands and…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. 18 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2017)
I think it’s funny that Larry Nance Jr. made exactly the same facial expression after hitting a long two-point stepback that he made after utterly posterizing his now-teammate Brook Lopez last year in what was probably (okay, definitely) the dunk of the year. All that was missing was the shrug. It’s like he knows that…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 24 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2017)
I don’t even know if Jordan Clarkson is considered by the fanbase to be part of the team’s future. I would think he might be tainted by his association with a failed era of Lakers basketball, but he’s also a fine scorer, and most teams are looking to fill their rosters with fine scorers. So…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 20 Points Lakers Debut Full Highlights (10/22/2017)
I really hope that Lakers fans don’t expect Kentavious “KDCUPI” Caldwell-Pope to be “good”. It’s easy to watch his highlights and come away with the impression that he is a sick-shooting athletic SG who gets really shiny with sweat the second he steps on the court. I mean, most of that stuff is true, except…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 20 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2017)
Man, I turned this game off when the Lakers were getting their butt kicked by 20. Well, that and because League Pass was spazzing out hard. But mainly because I didn’t want to watch more cruddy Lakers basketball. Also I don’t even like acknowledging DeMarcus Cousins’ existence by watching games where he’s playing. Joke’s on…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 15 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Attention Lakers fans (even Lakers fans in Phoenix): you are not allowed to yell “KUUUUUUUUUZ” after Kyle Kuzma does something good. The rights to that chant belongs exclusively to Knicks fans, who chant it for Mindaugas Kuzminskas. They borrowed it from Golden State fans, who had no more use for it after Ognjen Kuzmic departed…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Much like his fellow hyped-up purple-and-gold youngster Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram had a very disappointing opening night. I don’t know what caused it, but everyone on the Lakers that night seemed uninterested in putting balls in holes. It wasn’t the greatest start for a team that was hyped as, if not actually good, at least…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 29 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (10/20/2017)
Using the parlance of our times, Lonzo Ball has a lot of “haters”. Also using the parlance of our times, he also has a lot of “nuthuggers”. The first game of his career, last night, was a major victory for group one, as he was utterly shut down by a combination of Patrick Beverley, Magic…
