3) Lonzo has another great start

This is the Los Angeles point guard starting for the rest of the season. Rajon Rondo is on suspension and that might have corrected a huge issue in the Lakers starting lineup. When this guy is on the floor, the Lakers are better period. In other news to Lake Show Life, Lonzo shot another airball. We have a streak going here.

So what. He can give one airball a game anytime when he does this like two seconds after the game starts…

Lonzo Ball scored 12 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out six assists. Check this one out to KCP…

This is the next Jason Kidd folks! Book it! Send it in the mail!  His vision is amazing and he knows how to get the ball in the sweet spot so his teammates can stride to the basket. Last game it was Josh Hart, last night it was Caldwell Pope.

Did you see how hard KCP was running his lane? This is what happens when you are playing with a point guard like Ball. He doesn’t waste time dribbling, which is a Rondo fault at times. He just gets the ball to you quickly and efficiently.

Oh…dude plays defense too…

Look at how Ball played the passing lanes and anticipated the steal here. A major part of the Lakers problems this season was gambling on the steals and getting caught out of position. Here you could see Ball anticipate the pass and make the move when necessary.

Yeah! He hit a three pointer too…people need to stop saying that the team needs shooters. They don’t need shooting, they just need spacing that Ball is now providing. Now let’s all look at the beginning of a new era in Los Angeles Lakers history…

Here is where we say goodbye to the Rondo era. Ball and the rest of the young guys are giving the Lakers swagger. Ball, Kuzma, Hart and Stephenson has given this team attitude! They are no longer soft like they were in the first two games. Everyone is aggressive. JaVale McGee was confident enough to knock down a three. After a “Shaqtin A Fool” missed dunk.  Lakers fans could have celebrated this a lot sooner if LaVar Ball wasn’t so brash and put all this current pressure on him. But haven’t you noticed all the quiet from the Ball camp? Now Lonzo is improving…Hmm?
