Official NBA 2018-2019 Thread - the end of the regular season is near
If they get Minnesota Love and the team plays hard, they might make the 8th seed. He can play his game now.
Hopefully,Zizic gets quality minutes than he did last year and Cedi worked on his ballhandling,free throw shooting and overall shooting.
this why i think the lakers will run teams out the gym many nights....
take a player of this skill set whom play the 4, that can get the rebound and push it, then finish
add four more quality ball handlers with him, to go with the 3 they already have
new (Rondo, Beasley, James, Lance)
old (brandon, Lonzo, Hart)
don't know if there even been a time a team had this many skilled ball handlers

Great job Rose!
Glad he's found a home in Minny. Should contribute great things to that squad
He does lol
He was always that guy just white and in Utah then Boston.
lol, so you don't think he granted all that hype
Nope
I saw the jazz go to Joe Johnson to save them when a healthy Gordon was on the court
Joe did build up his stock as a clutch player lol
Mavs out here playing the mighty ducks?

LeBron James Surprised Lonzo Ball's Speed, Bounce Back so Soon Post-Knee Surgery

Lonzo Ball is just two months removed from arthroscopic knee surgery, but as he has made his way back to the court, he has made an incredible first impression on one of his newest teammates.
"I didn't know he was gonna be full go so fast," LeBron James said on Saturday, according to ESPN.com's Ohm Youngmisuk. "He's been going through live drills the last 2½ days. His bounce is there. His speed is there."
In fact, the point guard's performance thus far has the four-time NBA MVP questioning if there actually was an operation.
"So I don't even know if he even had surgery," James added, per Youngmisuk.
Even Los Angeles coach Luke Walton was "shocked how good [Ball] looked," Youngmisuk noted.
Ball went under the knife back in mid-July after being diagnosed with a torn left meniscus in late June, and as it was deemed a successful surgery, his timeline for a return put him healthy enough to participate in training camp. As of last week, he was medically cleared to return to full basketball activities, according to Spectrum SportsNet's Mike Trudell.
However, the Lakers have made it clear they would not rush the second-year guard into live action. Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka revealed that it remains to be seen if Ball will be available for the season opener, Oct. 18 against the Portland Trail Blazers, per SportsNet's Mike Bresnahan.
"It's impossible to predict the future when you're coming back from an injury," Pelinka said on Sept. 20, according to Bresnahan.
That's a stance Walton reiterated this week.
"We're gonna be patient," Walton said, per Youngmisuk. "No need to rush it right now. We'll put minutes restrictions on him as he starts coming back in the preseason. And everything will be, 'How do you feel?' the next day, 'How do you feel?' that night. As long we keep checking those off and he's fine, the minutes restrictions will go up and up until we decide to get rid of it altogether."
Should Ball not be ready to play, veteran Rajon Rondo will likely be the starting point guard.
