    Yeah I don't mean that Ben doesn't deserve it and isn't having a better season, but he sat for the year. Not a true rookie.

    Dunn was getting a lot of shine last night, especially locally but had 5 TOs and shot 33% lol. Just goes to show how bad this roster is lol.
    Zach, Lauri, and Donic gonna be our new big 3

    He's still a true rookie lol.. Just like Teodosic is. Played professionally in Europe for years. Doesn't matter if he sat out a year. Dude still didn't play a game. That doesn't give him a huge advantage or anything. A season ending injury is hard to come back from for anyone.

    Also, that future big 3 for the Bulls might be the worst defensive big 3 in the league lol.

    He was healthy in February lol. Having a year to train with an NBA team isn't an advantage over guys just coming out of college?

    He wasn't fully healthy in February tho. He didn't resume full basketball activities until mid April. Even then, coming back from a season ending injury is still a disadvantage if anything. He did have the advantage of becoming comfortable with the staff and his teammates, but he didn't have some massive advantage practicing with the team a month or two more than other rookies. He even sat out the summer league, something most of the other rookies didn't.

    He probably had an advantage yea, but coming at the expense of a broken foot? It's extremely hard to determine, and it's still his first year of actual NBA action.

    Kyrie Irving leading the league in steals and has looked really good on defense this season. He's also near the top of many other defensive statistical categories... A lot of that has to do with Brad Stevens, but the effort is also there. He's really stepped up his game on that end.

    Just another reason he's clearly better than IT :manny:

    Wtf was that foul on Lonzo with 2 mins left? lmao, he moved out of the way completely, would've been Lakers ball..they called a foul, hit 2 FTs..d---.

    I thought Kuzma should have nailed that last shot, got a great look...OT would've been fun. Ingram gave Dame a little too much space imo considering time was running out and I was pretty sure he wasn't driving to the net anymore...but great shot still..

    I was hyped as f--- when KCP hit that shot right before, but then f---in Lillard lol, he always kills the Lakers..

    Fun game though for sure. Kuzma and Lopez were great, Lakers D was mostly good other than the awful 1st..
