    Ya'll ain't stealing my knowledge juice! I had 3 predictions in September on here and got mocked for each......Simmons will be legit besides his sixers losing a bunch, the Wolves will be better than most think, better than us for sure and Ball is a star in the making in spite of not being able to shoot and the whole world hating on him because of his dad.

    The "better than us for sure" is the one I am questioning. They might be better than us - but the "for sure" there is absurd. They have a lot of talent - but are still questionable defensively. We will see...

    EXACTLY.... I'd wager to say that most of the forum that doesn't like Ball and formed their opinions about him because of his Dad.

    Yes I'm talking to all of the Ball detractors on this one. Every one of you. I don't believe any of you when you say you don't like his game and basically root for him to fail. It's his dad you don't like.
    Lonzo has been a good kid. He just has an asshat for a father.

    I'm not a Ball detractor, nor am I a Ball supporter (yuck, yuck). I'm fairly positive I've never commented on whether he's a good or bad player, or whether he'll be successful or not successful.

    Having said that: Before the draft, I hoped he'd fail because his dad said he'd only play for the Lakers. I hope he fails now, because he plays for the Lakers. Fuck the Lakers.

    :cheers:

    That not Faultz shooting motion I seen him play in college and right he got injury and Brown is not doing this kid justice by playing him. Let him heal right now they don't need him right now.

    Shoulder injury. He's compensating for it. He probably shouldn't be playing.

    If (and that's a big if) his current form is due to him having an injury, he needs to sit his ass down.
