Yeah they debuted well on their first NBA game. Although it was a preseason game well at least that was still a match. Zion Williamson made quite the appearance that game. He's so good and when he's bringing the ball to jam in the rim, he jams it real hard. You can feel the anger and the excitement from him.

Man, I can't believe at Lonzo Ball's performance he's shooting threes now with higher accuracy. I guess that his training is finally paying off. His shot is quite centered now unlike when he entered the NBA, his shot came from the left that made it unorthodox.
i can feel it man. Zion shows several times a hard dunk. no wonder he was chosen as number one in the 2019 nba draft pick.
after seeing the appearance of the Lonzo Ball I was surprised by the lakers why releasing talented young players like him. It seems that lonzo is quickly adapting to his teammates in Pelicans at the moment

That's the adjustment Rondo needs to accept, If Lakers are aiming for this season's title for sure they will allow Lebron to take the lead. He's effective when he play in PG position, many game play can execute since he's capable to run. No problem with outside and inside offense plus a good defensive
stop when it's needed. The line up is very competitive not just a hype but really have a balance squad.

Lebron being the point forward will work but he may have to delegate that ball handling work to their PG to give some confidence to his teammates. Seems to me that he has no trust on their PG thus he take their position  Grin.
He has trust on them alright...but very little  Grin
He will also delegate ball handling to the PG...only when he's resting  Grin

In today's pre-season match, De'Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish and Zion Williamson made their debut at the State Farm Arena. New Orleans Pelicans successfully beat Hawks with a final score of 133-109. in my opinion as pick no.1 in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion played well and amazed the audience!

~snip~

They will dominate the paint, we know that, AD, Mcgree, and Lebron can all play a center position if they wish too, ,and these 3 although bigs, but they are fast and they can shoot good FG as well, and take note, these big man are all good FT shooters, expect for Lebron which sometimes unstable.

Talking about dominating the paint, yes they surely can. I dont recall any teams who have bigger starting line up other than the Mavs ( Marjanovic and Porzingis) or if I missed something? I havent yet reviewed the whole roster of all NBA teams. 
Some might say Its just a pre-season after the Lakers blow-out at the bay. But, we can't deny how everyone in the team played in a good rythm.

Hoping they could keep it up until the end of the season and the playoffs.
I am not a Laker fan but I want great games to be seen whenever I watch the NBA.
Mostly, it will be a shooting game by now. But with the roster in the West looks like it will be who can dominate the paint that will predict the rhythm

It's gonna be points-rebounds-assist, he will dominate in that category for sure.

If that's the case then let's look at the odds for Lebron to win the MVP this season.
He is at +900 now, and I think is so undervalued considering the Lakers are a much more improve team now and Lebron will not likely to get injured since he has someone whom he can rely to help him in the offense.

Anyway, that works when he was with the Heat and the Cavs, no reason why it won't work in the Lakers squad. Maybe he want to be sure that AD must touch the rock before it hit the rim.

Honestly speaking, Rondo will not gonna receive much game time on Lakers tho.


Because he has a conflict of position with Lebron, when Lebron played with the Cavaliers in his last season, he was very effective as point guard and that's why he brought that style of play in this team now, maybe if he has a star player PG he might not take the position like the time when he was still playing with Kyrie Irving.

If Davis will be effective, Lebron will likely to have a good stats this season, a double double is likely while a triple double is still possible since he is good in hist assist and rebounding.

It's gonna be points-rebounds-assist, he will dominate in that category for sure.

I dont think another superstar PG would complement Lebron's style of playing today. As you said, he have effectively fill that position very well, because he is an offensive threat. When Lebron is carrying the ball he could draw multiple defenders leaving his teammates wide open, plus he has good court vision and passing ability too. Even with Iso, he would kill a single defender.

What Im seeing with Rondo rn is a good back PG. Maybe he could start at the starting line up too, but I doubt It. When Kuzma comes back, he'll probably start at the first 5 along side Green, AD, and McGee. So, whos gonna play at the PG position? Obviously its gonna be Lebron.

We have seen the effectiveness of LeBron as point guard against the GSW. So no doubt about him deciding the plays for his team and let him orchestrate their plays.

Yeah since lakers have much Power Forward and small forward, Definitely Lebron will gonna take the point guard post, Maybe he will be sitting in the bench most the game since LBJ rest is only minimal per game. An interesting tandem is trio boogyman, davis and dwight. They will surely dominate the western conference that 3 key player plays in sync with each other. Even warriors sharpshooter will gonna have a hard time breaking there defense and offense as well. I hope that this kind of super-team will gonna restrict in the future to have fair gaming. NBA nowadays is just having money and creating a super team. It's easy to predict who will gonna be in the playoffs and finals.

Rondo would not complain with that as he knows who's the Lakers boss, Lebron is known for his attitude that he can throw someone whom he doesn't like, even with the coach, he did that, so for sure he can do much to a player.

This is Rondo's best chance to win the championship again and probably will be able to get a good contract if the Lakers will be successful this season.

I watched that crazy Boston Celtics fans cheer up when Tacko Fall enter the court on his first professional pre-season NBA game. Not just that, when he takes the ball for the first time for an offensive low-post play, fans gone wild again cheering for him.

For this height at 7 ft 6, we all know that these players will end up slow even at a young age. I'm impressed with this tall guy as he's not showing signs that he might become slower soon. I just hope his body will remain as it is for several seasons to come. This guy really worked hard on his NBA dream.
I watched the replay and when Fall went into the court who is the tallest of the Celtics roster, they also put in their smallest player on their roster which has a height of only 5 ft 11 in Cheesy. A 7 ft 6 in and a 5 ft 11 in put into the court at the same time Cheesy.

I have watched his highlights and he is like a huge Eiffel Tower on the paint. He only jumps a bit and he can dunk it already. I expect that he will do what Boban did too last season when he dunked Cheesy. He is also fast compare to the other big guys and he is very intimidating. If he will continues to play like this, he will remain on the Celtics because he has only a 1 year contract at this moment.

Lebron may not be PG though, he played point forward once again but they had Rondo so Rondo will probably play make more than Lebron.

If Lebon will act as a PG, Rondo will be playing as the 2nd round unit of the Lakers, which makes them a dangerous team.
We know Lebron can fill any position he wants but based on my observation, he is also effective as a point guard since he can drive the ball and just pass either to davis or from its outside shooters.

He ain't a pure point guard in my opinion and it's pretty evident when you watch playoff games when he is the one carrying down the ball. He will always try to force plays if not his only option is not to pass the ball but the drive and score a point, the whole point of having a team is absent when he tries to play point guard in this situations. Just take a look on this one on how he tried to look for a play but he didn't notice that the ball was already rolling out of bounds, I mean would you really be confident enough to make him carry the ball when Rondo is around?

Yes with everything on the line I'd be fine with lebron taking the ball up.  He is not going to ever be an off the ball player.  Rondo will run some of the point but he wont be exclusively running it.  He will definately run it when lebron is sitting.  That's the way it will go down this year

And Rondo has to improve his shooting so he can also be a threat especially in the 3 point line.
Rondo shooting last season is not good, maybe because they are still into an adjustment period, but one whole season is already enough I guess and we might see some good improvement this season.

Dont think that will happen.  Ever since he has been on the celtics his shot has sucked.  His bread and butter is driving to the hole and either an inside shot or a kick out.  He is a mismatch when driving, his outside shot game will never be feared in the league.  His mechanics on his jumpshot is too broken to work consistently. 

You got a point. His career got ripped when he leave Boston celtics maybe because of his attitude. Actually he can practice his jump shots, I remember during his prime in boston, He is good in jump shots tho so basically
 3 point shooting is possible for him. He has a good control of the ball as what you said that he is good in driving. Let's see how the Lakers bootcamp works on Rondo as well as the synchronization of
Lebron James Team.
