Kyle kuzma blowing out nick nurse raptors by 20 points

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Kuz is a star now that he ain't being held back by leballhog


Nurse has turned into a overseas coach now that he can't ride kawin to rings

[3ba11]

Add Kuzma to the list of guys that Lebron destroyed who thrive without him - Ingram, Kuzma, Bosh, Jamison, Hughes, Love, IT, Clarkson and more

3ball stays right... :facepalm:

LeBron’s consensus top 2 all time and Kobe’s fringe top 10, so no, 3ball’s def not staying right :lol

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Now down 26 points on their season opener Hahahaha

Vanvleet got paid by being kawhi's teammate and nurse should be fired

[HBK_Kliq_2]

2/22 on 3 point shots for raptors. Now you see what kawhi was dealing with? This guy is a dumbass offensively. LeBron had ty lue the offensive stud coach

[ShawkFactory]

Raptors are shooting 29% from the field. Jesus Christ

Might not even score 80 :lol

That’s pretty bad.

Beal is playing even worse

[ShawkFactory]

Beal is playing even worse

Not really. Beal doesn't need to be taking 24 shots a game. He's always been inefficient and if this team is going to show any sort of depth that could win them games it'll be with him scoring 25 instead of 32.

Which is kind of where he is right now. Granted this isn't one of the games I've been watching so I don't know how he looks outside of his numbers.

He's always been high volume but this game he's just been clanked out. They actually gave the team some outside scoring help and they play tough and fast so they just really started winning in spite of him but he's still a constant threat. His drive and kick game has improved too.

But yea hopefully he doesn't have to put up 25 shots a night even though he's on pace to surpass or equal that tonight.

Seems to have woken up right as we were saying this :lol

Right now he seems like the only guy who can do anything. Kuzma and Dinwiddie have kind of sucked.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

11 points 15 rebounds 3 assists he put up pip numbers tonight

[bladefd]

Kuzma shot 22% from 3pt line, 30% overall with 5 turnovers (more TO than assists).

Let's pump the brakes on Kuzma blowing out anyone. 3 other players on his own team had more points. Maybe he will get much better and look like an actual star, but that wasn't it tonight. Seeing who the OP is, I should not expect anything less.

The only good thing about Raps tonight is Dalano Banton.

15 rebounds tho

That’s considered a good game for him by his fans :biggums:

[Axe]

Kawhit hasn't won a ring since last year.

[ImKobe]

Had an off night yet was still a +22 (only 2nd to Beal). Kuz is a star in the making.

[RRR3]

His PER is at 4.2.

[ralph_i_el]

He didn't shoot great, but I wouldn't say he played bad. The Wizards are so much bigger and stronger than they were last year, and way more confident on offense. Just having a wing who is consistently aggressive, with some semblance of an off-the-dribble game, is a huge step up for us.

[ShawkFactory]

Had an off night yet was still a +22 (only 2nd to Beal). Kuz is a star in the making.

Happens literally half of the time.

That’s why he won’t be a star. Averaging 19 ppg on a mediocre team doesn’t make you a star.

[SlickRick]

Vanvleet got paid by being kawhi's teammate and nurse should be fired

You must not have watched VanVleet lock up Curry in the Finals...

That won't stop a good portion of ISH pretending that he is :lol

[ShawkFactory]

He’ll score 33 next game and ISH will pop off about him.

Then he’ll do what he always does and score 9 after that.

[2much_knowledge]

Lakers are 0 - 7 with no Kuzma. Carry on

[ImKobe]

But having high impact in a win even on an off night does. People think Kuz is just about scoring and nothing else when that's the least impressive part about his game. He gives 100% effort every night.

[ImKobe]

His PER is at 4.2.

Using PER in 2021 :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

[RRR3]

I don’t like PER it’s a bad stat but you won’t find a single good player in history with a PER that low.

[Airupthere]

I dont trust that kuzma will bounce back yet from being diminished. Maybe he played with Lebron one season too many. But we have to see his resilience.

There’s nothing impressive about his game. He’s okay at cutting and that’s it literally it. He’s not above average at anything besides chucking up shots. Horrendous player.

Yet the Lakers stayed elite defensively with Bron & AD injured.. apparently that has nothing to do with Kuzma's defensive ability, right?

What does high impact mean? +\-?

You’re laughing about people using PER while you’re talking about one game samples of +\- on a night where the other team shot 31% from the field.

I absolutely agree about his energy. I love that too.

He’s not a star.

[Manny98]

Never seen Kuzma play with so much heart and energy, he looks so rejuvenated on the Wizards

It helps when you don't have someone that you look up to throw a hissy fit for every little mistake you make and throw you under the bus

[8Ball]

11 points on 30% shooting :oldlol:

:lol

No wonder Kobe fans like him so much.

[ShawkFactory]

Here’s how we know Kuzma isn’t a star: how many teams can you name that he wouldn’t start on?

There’s more than 7 probably. He wouldn’t start on the Hawks and they aren’t even technically elite.

I’m not sure he’ll start that often on the Wizards lol.

Interesting.

Don’t say things like that and then complain about trolls.

I wasn’t trolling. He’s not better than Bertans and while he might be better than Hachimura they’ve invested a lot in that guy. They both play the forward spots

Nostradamus.

[bladefd]

Thread looks good tonight. Let's see if Kuzma can do this more consistently. Consistency & streakiness was always his issue.

Even harden took a few years adjusting okc to hou. Of course kuzma is not going to be consistent overnight. We know overall he’s hoing to average better.

[RRR3]

Last game Kuzma horrible stats. ImKobetarded “plus minus doe”

This game Kuzma worst +/- on team. ImKobetarded “stats doe”





:biggums:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Honestly, it's Anthony Davis that didn't work out well with Kuzma. Kuzma's highest PPG season ever was with Lebron(1st year LA), and no Davis.

Might have been a Vogel issue more than the players because his FGA was low even when Bron & AD were injured last year. He's a 18-20 ppg scorer. He's improved in other areas as a result though and it's carried over to his play in Washington.

So in that case did playing with AD and Bron maybe...help him realize his game?

Imagine that shit

He's dominating one or the other and has a 2-0 record to boot.

What's lakers record without him?

[ImKobe]

Imagine that shit

He was forced into a different role so he had no other option than to contribute in different areas, and obviously most players improve their skills as the years go on. He could have been an All-Star in a different situation and still has the potential to do that in Washington.

And that’s where you lost me. You were so close.

He’s not that good dude. Nice hustle guy. Can get hot and hit some shots sometimes. The NBA has a lot of guys like that.

[Manny98]

Kuzma flourishing on the Wizards :applause:

[ImKobe]

And that’s where you lost me. You were so close.

He was a 19/6/3 guy his 2nd year in the league and averaged 22/7/3 while Lebron was out in that season, once the Lakers changed coaches and added another high-volume scorer he never got to play that role again. He could have been an All-Star in a different situation with a green light like Ingram.

Again..the NBA is full of guys who could put up numbers like that if they had a complete green light on a shitty team. Just because someone CAN score 20 points a game doesn’t mean they should.

I’ll circle back to the fact that he wouldn’t be a starter on more than a handful of teams (being generous). He’s not a star by that idea alone.

[tpols]

Beal has shot on average 59 TS the past 5 seasons. That's higher shooting efficiency than MJ. He hasn't been inefficient at all.

Beal has averaged 30+ ppg on 59 TS the past two seasons.

What?

The problem isn't Beal, its that the wizards are an all time bad franchise.

When did I say that Beal was the problem? My entire point is that Beal isn’t going to be taking 23 shots a game on a good team. Very few guys can do that. Or should be doing that.

[tontoz]

Nice game from Kuzma last night, 26/11 in a 1 pt win over Indy without Beal. 72%TS

[RRR3]

Beal comes back and he puts up 6 points on 3-11 :lol

Knew he’d scrub it up once Beal came back lol. “Beal ball” ruining superstar Kuzma :cry:

Poor Kuzma needs the entire offense to revolve around him to be even a remotely passable NBA player apparently. Why won’t some team let this guy who’s below average at literally everything besides cutting take 30 shots a game? :(

[8Ball]

Kyle Kuzma is who we thought he was.

[RRR3]

1-10, 2 points, -13 and the L :oldlol:

[tontoz]

He left the game with an injury and didn't come back. Not sure what happened either a hand or forearm problem.

Who is this poster? I swear every time I read one of his old posts I get smarter.

1-10 0-5 2 points

Add Kuzma to the list of guys that Lebron destroyed who thrive without him - Ingram, Kuzma, Bosh, Jamison, Hughes, Love, IT, Clarkson and more

3ball stays right... :facepalm:

Thriving:

2 points, 1-10

:roll:

[LostCause]

Do people seriously hope players do poorly solely because they no longer play with their favorite player?

That’s whack lol

[ShawkFactory]

What? Kuzma is a streaky player just as likely to score 4 as he is to score 25?

Who would have thought that.
