“Injury bug is biting the Lakers yet again. Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram might not play tomorrow...” Lonzo Ball Diagnosed With Knee Sprain, Considered Questionable Vs. Grizzlies

That is all abou big mouth LaVar Ball. He called out Luke saying the Lakers don’t follow him anymore. LaVar didn’t mention his son was out for a number of games with a sprained shoulder. He says dumb things imo. When Zo was asked about Luke he said, “I’ll play for anybody” which could be negative to his coach or just non pot stirring as he always does. I like Luke as our coach. We r on a little win streak right now. I did not like Luke as a player much but as a coach I really do. LaVar just needs to shut his mouth. Kuzma praises Luke’s coaching. It is mostly media build up I think. It would be very stressful for Luke because LA wants to win and we go through a lot of coaches. I hope Luke keeps doing what he is doing and Zo’s daddy shuts up. He got an F from the better business bureau the other BBB! I want to keep competing. It must be difficult for my boys because they often hear we are looking for star players. That would not make me feel secure as a player. I can see LaVar whisper in Zo’s ear that Luke is not a good coach. Luke did have some bad rotations imo at times but he is the coach and decides when people come onto the floor and when they come off. Ur boys are still doing well MG
We grabbed another W today in an OT victory over the Mars 107-101. Sorry Siouxie we had 4in double digits and two double doubles with Randle playing tough today. With points, assists and rebounds Randle had 23, 2, and 15 while Kuz had 18, 3 and 10.
Ball and Nance Jr had double doubles. Ball had 18pts 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks. Nance had 14 pts 10asts and BI had 26 pts. Nance played great tonight. It is a 3 game win which is better than adding up Ls.
99-86 Lakers over Kings with 5 players in double digits. Zo had a double double with 11 boards and assists but he shot poorly. He had a 33 +/- stat. He helps on the floor.
I do not like to lose so please don’t get me wrong by saying this. People often hate on Ball, “his shot is broken”, “he is a bust” etc. He has been out the last two games and I can really tell the difference in how we play. He brings a sharing mindset that is contagious. We have not had as many assists when he is out. He really helps us on the floor. He can improve with shooting but he is an important piece.
3 starters down in our 99-109 loss to Griz last night. Ball was out due to injury. Kuz played well. I’m glad we picked him up in the draft. He is an athlete.
Ball out tonight vs the Wolves we lost 104-121. Kuz put in 31 points. Zo will be reviews again in a one week for his shoulder. I hope he returns quickly.
We lost to the GSW again tonight 106-113 and they didn’t have to win in OT over us as they did in their first two wins. They were blowing us out and we made out of an attempt but came up short. We had 5in double digits. Kuz and Randle both had double doubles and Ball had 25, 5 and 5 tonight.
122-116 win over Houston tonight. They r playing very well. My boys had 6 in double digits and Kuzma was a scoring machine today. I used to like Arriza and Black when they played with my boys.
109-113 loss to the Nets in OT last night. We only made like 3 of 9 in extra time we had some good things. Ball shot a little better and we shared the ball the right way.
