When he has 8 points on 30% I don't gotta love (bleep) lmfao


He was sorry today.
He always gets worked by Taj though.

His inability to box out anybody today contributed heavily to us losing this game. Needs to get better and stop worrying about his offense


Nailed it. Disappointed and was glad to see Luke pull him a few times after missed box outs. Frustrating.

Minny seems to be a tough matchup for Kuz. Gibson and Towns have their way on the boards every time we play them.

Not blaming Kuz for the loss. Just something I've noticed this season.

One guy is playing hurt and has carried the load numerous times. Ingram never carries the game but has lost a good share this season.

Lmao what is this guy. I got this dude on a leash right now.

Kyle Kuzma said his hip has been bothering him since the Houston game, and he was feeling it more tonight. He added he’s glad they have two days before the next game (Sunday vs Phoenix) to get treatment.


Looked noticeable.

Gotta know when to sit. when your play becomes detrimental due to injury, toughening it out isn't the solution.

Yep he’s been bad. And the entire team is looking fragile. Just all bad right now.

He needs to hit 3s and attack Gibson on offense because he's basically going to get killed on the defensive glass by Gibson. Kuzma doesn't seem to be able to consistently take advantage of bigger, slower defenders with enough regularity to be a plus in matchups against Taj Gibsons -- unless it's one of those games where he got hot.

That's brutal.
It also hurts that our best 3 point shooter in that stretch is now out with an ankle injury

His hip wasn't hurting that entire time I'm sure.

Fact is, Kuzma's been bad from three this year and been hot and cold in many games. But fans attach to him like they attached to NVE back in the day. There was just no social media back then like there is today.

Kuzma mom said he's less than 50%!!! I notice he's not moving like he was earlier in te year just watch. I asked her(Karri Kuzma) to ask Kyle why haven't he shot the hook or used the spin move that was so effective much this year she said she will ask him but she tells him he should use that hook more often .

Poor game for Kuz, injured or not.

He's not consistent enough to be a #2 option, nor is BI.

The Lakers biggest mistake was assuming our young core would be good enough to step up to a #2-4 role on the team. Looks more like they can be a #3-4 option at best on a playoff team right now.

To be honest, Kuz is very overrated (even when he's not hurt).
But that doesn't mean he's a bad player.
And it doesn't mean he won't get better.
The question is, how much better does one see him becoming?

But look at that contract. Very worth it IMO.
