Overall his RPM is really good though, for the situation. If you're hitting him for the Offensive part of it, it's not fair not to give him credit for a higher RPM than Dragic, Reggie Jackson, Clarkson... You talk about being a net positive, but on RPM he is! There is a lot of cherry picking stats (Ignore RPM, only look at ORPM! Ignore production ONLY look at P&R stats!) to try to tell this narrative. Being a rookie PG is really tough and Lonzo has been playing alright. Everyone who knew how players develop knew he was going to be a project, and so far he's been doing pretty decent.

I’m very willing to make whatever will he be good in four years bet you want, on whatever post SA zombie forum still exists if necessary, because he’s vastly more similar to MCW than Rubio and that shot is 100% not getting fixed

The split between his offense and defense seems relevant when his role and strengths/weaknesses are being discussed. He does not improve his team on offense, most rookie PGs don't, but the cracks in his game don't look like things that will be sorted out in any less than 3 years or so, if it takes one offseason to be a league average three point shooter, one to be okay at running PNR, one to check the vials worn around the necks of Ming dynasty eunuchs for their severed penises and testicles, and so on

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

It was funny because half way through I said to someone "This is about as good as we can expect. A really good pickup game where everyone kind of cares but we're never going to get the intensity of a real game that matters." And then the game somehow had the intensity of a game that really matters.

That poo poo was like magic that left me wondering how the hell they pulled it off.

Anyone remember back in October when I asked who would have more winshares this year Dirk or Melo? I just did and decided to check. Dirk currently has 3.9 and Melo has 3.2. lol.

I would've bet on Carmelo as he's six years younger. There's still time for him to turn it around.

Real defense appears for the first time in a long time. One of the better half-time shows in NBA ASG history. In the kitchen, wrist twistin' like a stir fry (whip it).

I forgive the NBA for hiring Big & Rich to perform the 2005 half-time show.

My brother has long theorized that the mid to late 2000s had the worse half time acts because Stern was scared of rap culture. I'm glad Silver is a modern man and I get to see twerking and Migos.

It won't ever be confirmed but just like Love used to get fku-like symptoms whenever the Wolves would go to southern LA, Butler had to sit out a game after Mark Wahlberg was confirmed to be at the same locale.

That all star game was so much fun. I got to see a lot of players that I'd heard about but hadn't watched yet (Westbrook, Embiid the two standouts I'd most been wanting to catch). I'm more excited to see more games before playoffs. I've only watched about 10 this year so I need to start checking out the teams at the bottom end of each conference's playoff standings

Honestly I'm desensitized at this point. Every year for the last five years there's been a 20% increase of Kevin Hart screen time at the ASG. And I don't like it, but I'm the frog in the boiling water here.

Kevin Hart gained a lot of goodwill from me for Jumanji so it didn't bother me that much but Fergie made me switch to the Olympics and then I forgot to change back to the game because I really only had it on as background noise.

He seriously had a 30 minute skit about becoming a basketball player complete with songs where they replaced every line with cringy tributes to the players at the game, all kicked off with him hyping himself and ending with him hyping his comedy tour, and that still didn't seem as long and terrible as Fergie's 2 minutes and 30 seconds of career suicide.
