Look at the Bulls with him now look at bulls without him got niggas ready to blow it up
Not every player needs to be a super star to make a huge impact. Players with the right skill sets and role can be the difference
Zo by himself isn’t the difference, but Zo and the lack of replaceable options behind him is the difference. Zo was literally the second best perimeter defender and only viable spot up shooter this team had.
They were only 9 games over 500 when Lonzo played yeah they were good but not title contenders no way. Donovan sucks and he got an extension even though he was under 500 as the Bulls coach. I don’t get what he did to deserve an extension. DeRozan signed to take LaVines spot if LaVine wasn’t going to b your primary ball handler why give him the max absolutely makes no sense. DeRozan basically became Donovans go to guy even though he just shoots 2s and his defense is worst than Lavine and Lavine gets so much hate cause his defense again makes no sense. Honestly Lavine has been disrespected by the Bulls plenty that idk why he still there.
When people say Lonzo somehow makes the Bulls a contender I can’t help but laugh.
The bulls had the best record last year with him
Hating on lonzo when he’s injured is crazy
No Jaylen Brown? 🤷🏾♂️
Whoa that’s a harsh statement and indictment on both the Bulls and Lonzo.
Demar I say it the less I like it
Nah the truth is we need vucevic traded. I have no idea why we didn’t trade him to get some valuable defenders. He plays no defense and is our starting center. Wtaf
Jalen’s line-up is CRISPY 💪🏾💯💯
These experts have their opinions, but a Healthy Lonzo Ball = contender.
He is done. Waive him
Gtfoh. When lonzo was healthy and playing the bulls looked like a championship contender.. without him the suck
These people are delusional. Tell the truth, sitting on the bench for most of his NBA career don’t prove nothing.
26 and 50, no. 36 and 50… Now that`s a real possibility. Having Lonzo on the floor allows everyone else on the floor to slot in to the correct role and position and that`s priceless at the pro level. We see a team like the Clippers with elite talent get bogged down late in playoff games because they`ve needed to rely on Kawhi and PG to set the table and finish as opposed to just finishing. If you don`t have elite talent this is only something you can get away with for a short stretch. Once other staffs get a look at you and make adjustments its going to be difficult. Lonzo allows the rest of the guys on the floor to just do their jobs, nothing more, Mike Conley has been the same way for years. The numbers don`t scream but when he`s on the floor you win games.
Uh, yes he is. Look at the Bulls since Lonzo went down. #1 in the East to out of the playoffs this year. Brilliant anaylsis once again ESPN.
How tf is pg not a top 5 two way player?
Tristian???
Thomson hasn’t even tried to check some stats. Giannis is the best defender on the ball handler and on the screener in pick n roll situations. Points per possession. That’s amazing. Let alone he is an elite help defender. I wouldn’t be mad with someone saying Jokic is the best player right now, but there is no conversation on who is the best 2 way player in the league.
Tristan Thompson is a better commentary guy Vs player , is he switching ?
zach lowe is a certified hater
KD is not a two way player anymore. I saw the Celtics killing him in the playoffs
Basic clutch sport’s conspiracy. Fake injury to retain contract status. Smh
The joke is , if lonzo was healthy for the past 2 years , he would be the perfect player for the Lakers
Lonzo ball makes everyone around him better
"If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary." –Jim Rohn
Tristan is not good at this yet, send him to ESPN3 for a while.
Is this fool always going to bring up the cavs
Tristan nailed it. Just like he nailed woman behind Kloe’s back.
Man I’m a fan of Zach but I strongly disagree with this take.
Glad to see everyone in the comments being more intelligent than stupid media members
Now we just sleeping on the GOAT
alright Lowe i rock with you most of the time but Lonzo is ABSOLUTELY the difference for the Bulls this year…..idk how someone observant as Lowe cant see that
Im really not feeling Tristan Thompson on espn…
Chene is absolutely correct. Zo was the engine. The Bulls need a real PG and the way he defends on the perimeter against a guard dominated league is unmeasurable. If Lonzo played every game this year, we’d be talking about the Bulls in the same vein as Cleveland.
Zach Lowe is so flip flop its not even funny. Everything the Bulls are missing he provided. He is EXACTLY what they are missin.
The Lonzo disrespect. Dudes dont know basketball if they don’t think Lonzo is a difference maker
Chicago needs lonzo to win… I know this sounds crazy. Look how Boston lost to the dubs last year. You need a point guard
That’s half their wins without the engine to the team the facilitator🤦🏾♂️
Tristen just capped hard asab, kd as a better two way defender than Giannis. Crazy
Lonzo is absolutely the difference. Remember when he had the lakers rolling? He went down and it was over.
Apparently he is
Lonzo is important to the Bulls as Draymond is important to the Warriors from the defensive side and operating the offense
The only knock on Lonzo is that he’s injury prone
They had the number one seed before he got hurt .
Lonzo wore a big knee brace his HS and College. That knee has been suspect. It was a blessing he was even drafted. A ton of players have been overlooked for the knee being as suspect as Lonzos.
YES HE IS
Why is no one pointing out that Billy Donovan is just not a good coach.
