Anyone watching the game tonight? Lip's calling me a "little prick" is going to put me in therapy. It's all good Lip, I'm with ya on Tibs. I don't like the roster construction at all! Anyway I'm excited to see Dunn dominate Ball with his defense, see Markenan shoot the 3 and see his overall game. Actually these "players only" broadcasts are pretty good. I was always a Dunn fan, he had a bad year last year, it seemed mostly confidence to me. I thought he was jerked around a bit, but no doubt he didn't do himself any favors.

Depressing...

So what is the report? I see Valentine has a nice box score. The game action I have seen the last week or so it seems like he is doing some good things out there. He could be a good compliment to Dunn.

Bulls were playing with pace, good spacing and passing, they shot a decent amount of 3's. Dunn was decent, handle looked a bit improved, still unsure when to pass or get all the way to the rim. He dominated Ball on defense.

Ball is slow, has zero explosion off the dribble, shot was terrible. Ingram and Kuzma were great. Kuzma has the total game it looks like.

I have been impressed with Ingram. He doesn't exactly blow you away but a couple times I was watching a game and they said his point total and I was like oh yeah that's pretty good. Kuzma looks like the real deal and he plays with some edge and confidence. This looks like a really good draft but some teams have to be trying to figure out how they missed getting that guy.

I love the energy the Lakers are bringing down the stretch. I didn't know who Kuzma was until I saw him in Summer League. But I sure wish the Wolves had drafted him.

Duke - I'm the one who will need therapy if the Wolves keep playing the way they have the past two games. :).

Lakers get the win over the Bulls. I'm really impressed with the Lakers young talent and the way they're coached. Ball, Kuzma, Ingram, KCP, Randle, Clarkson and Larry Nance. Add to that One of the best offensive centers in the game, Brook Lopez. I wouldn't necessarily count out the Lakes as a potential playoff team this season. It's scary to think of how good this team will be next season with LeBron added to this roster and all these young guys more experienced.

We'll see how they do coming up they started 10 and 10 last year I believe and then fell off a cliff.

Also don't think lebron goes there if they can't add another player like George and if they add George say goodbye to lopez, KCP, randle and possibly ingram. They are fun team but I am not super high on there future potential, think they have a bunch of solid young guys but no all stars. Ball has moments but he is the worst shooting rookie of all time after 18 games. Ingram is solid but he goes in and out of games. And Kuzma is very good but I believe he is a really old rookie (24) I believe.


*Kuzma is 22 I was wrong all older. But love his game

A Lakers bulls thread? Really? Really? You guys must have had absolutely nothing else to do.
