Who on earth are you talking about? Please name these players. |
our fans hated on clarkson, nick young, lou, maybe others. for no reason. same with kcp. |
Some fans hated on Lebron too, as absurd and amazing as that is! |
I wouldn't use the past tense on that. |
Ha. Umm .. some people can change? =D |

I'm happy Vogel didn't put Kuz back in. Sure it's only an eye abrasion but it's not a playoff game or anything
Kuz will have his revenge soon  |

Yep. But besides for safety reasons and visibility reasons, playing in googles sucks.
Now if you want to say Cap and Worthy were awesome in their goggles, I'd agree  |

I wonder if he has to wear some eye wear. |

Listed as an eye abrasion and he’s been cleared to practice and play in Friday’s game in OKC 🙏🏀🙏🏀🙏🏀
Also I wonder how high tech the Lakers ophthalmology department is?
I’m guessing a step up or two from Kaiser Permanente 😂👍👀👁⛑ |

Kyle Kuzma is expected to practice on Thursday and play in Friday’s game at OKC after additional testing confirmed a right eye abrasion suffered in the 2nd Q last night. |

At the same age? Or now?
Danilo is a way more consistent shooter IMO.
But at the same age, I'd take Kuzma's overall game.
Now? I'd take Kuzma as well.
Danilo seems to miss more games. |

Gallo is a great fit as a bench PF but his health is a legit issue. I'd take Kuz right now for availability alone. |

Gallo is a better player but he's also 31 and has more experience.
But he will decline soon, and is due a big pay day. I'd go with Kuz for now.

Kuz just tweeted an emoji wearing glasses
Looks like the goggles will be out on Friday!

Kuz, I gotta disagree.
I think using +/- to compare players is moronic.
But +/- is not a clown stat. It lets you know what lineups are productive.
Over the course of a season, it can be used in conjunction with other data to see how impactful a player was. |
