The injuries and Covid really started causing doubt that carried over to all star break. We all thought we'd trade at least someone but we didnt. I think we should've to have a newer identity
When Lonzo was in the lineup the Bulls looked like the best team in the east and they were blowing teams out. And Lavine looks like a whole different player when Lonzo is playing - he cuts and runs the break because he know Lonzo will find him. His scoring was like top 5 during that stretch too. We need this man to be healthy.
Lonzo just brings the hustle and makes everyone want to run and catch a lob. His pocket passes are nice as well. He's always looking for the assist instead of most of these ball hogs just looking to stat pad.
The mental processing speed of Lonzo is at a whole nother level from everyone else. Paired with his ability to monitor where every player on the floor is at all times, makes this man dangerous on both sides of the court. The majority of the best plays this season had his fingerprints all over them. Can’t wait till next season!!!
Riddle me this with all that genius level brain speed how do he not see paths to the bucket? I mean he made a career low 1.5 buckets a game from inside the arc. And not it aint that pass-first excuse he avg a career low 5 ast a game...
@@I.am_Groot I suspect he knew his knee wasn’t 100% and was afraid of drawing extra contact or landing funny. But also, his midrange and finishing at the rim was pretty inefficient so maybe he chose to play to his strength rather than be a detriment to the team. I believe his assist average being so low had to do with playing with two very iso-heavy players in Demar and Zach.
@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 Lonzo is 6'6 with handles and won't drive the basket. Been that way for years. It is a pretty big hole in his game as he don't even avg 1 FT attempt a game. This 'mental advantage' stuff is big talk for a kid that only has a starting spot at this point because he got the jumper fixed and hits nice from outside. He does hustle on defense but dude not special like y'all claim he is.
@@I.am_Groot believe what you want, but stats aren’t everything. I watched every game he played and he was a major difference maker, even with a compromised knee. The Bulls were much worse off without him on the floor. Stats DO back that up.
@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 On a team like the Bulls where other players take up his offensive slack and draw enough defenders to keep him open from 3 he does pretty well. Not a PG but a good 3&d guard
@@NikoStark1 that’s your problem you think nets were a good team. But anyway they were 0-2 vs philly with lonzo they were 1-1 with Boston with him. They were 0-2 vs gs with him they were 0-2 vs bucks with him and 0-1 vs heat with him go look it up
The basketball Gods knew Lonzo Ball passing to Derozan, Lavine, the Carushow, Jones Jr. and Green was just too much joy in my life and decided to spite me..
A transition god..I get that lamelo is the better flashier player overall..but lonzo will always have him on awareness and anticipation and i.q and defense
Lonzo is soo Damnn good and underrated! He’s not a score first PG he’s the true epitome of a PG getting your teammates involved and making them better with a healthy lonzo bulls were easily one of the best teams in the league
Nothing I love more than watching Zo play - he's always full throttle on both sides of the ball, and he's got his own swagger, his own style, whenever he dribbles. On top of that, the passes are GORGEOUS - I'm not arguing that he's the goat playmaker, but the full-court and lob passes always look so effortless and just glide through the air. I didn't watch him in UCLA, only the highlights, but I'm happy to see him flourish, and I can't wait til he comes back. Hope the Bulls make the Finals 🔥
Needed all of this in that Bucks series! It’s a shame this season was just one injury after another. Hope he’s healthy and ready to play when the season starts💯
@@MrDweeny Hornets announcer is for little kids. He's a grown man screaming like a chick. Kids need that energy. Adults respect and love Stacey King the most for being the perfect mix of energy and maturity
🔥How one player can change the whole team record. He make the entire team get out our and run because they Lonzo will pass it to them SMH He made devonte Greene and Jones look good. Bulls were in 1st place for a long time. Other teams celebrated when they beat the Bulls. It's going down next season|
Zo is best when he is not thinking too much but playing naturally, that's how gifted he is. Players like him you have to let them be free to improvise. Most of the time, the IQ will allow Zo to make the right play.
Love these highlights. Those were good times, and hopefully Giddey can be somewhat of a replacement for Zo. All love and respect though. Also, gotta mention how hilarious and amazing Stacey King is..haha love that guy!
Lonzo Always had a knack to make offenses look smoother because he is patient and a selfless PG with scorers in the starting lineup so he Gives them more chance to get to go out and run
It’s the lead passes on the fast break and even in the half court for me. It’s crazy that he isn’t even ball dominant as the majority of pass first guys in the league. If he was the primary facilitator every time he’s on the court he’d average 8-9 assists.
Lonzo is a huge gamechanger. Hes not gonna run the halfcourt offense as much as I'd want but he's the best passer on the team, Best offensive rebounder, Best 3 point shooter, Best defender, and highest IQ, pushes the pace. This team misses Lonzo the most and there's a reason why hes ranked 2nd in box plus minus on the team... only 2nd to demar
If the Bulls add a knock down shooter and a solid power forward, they'd be a top 3 team in the East. They limped into 6th place this year due to injuries. They could have easily won 6 more games had they been healthy the whole time.
When Zo was gearing up to throw the pass to Lavine, Luka already saw the play developing because of his basketball IQ, but he didnt make the effort to stop it. That’s the difference
Zo was that key piece for this team. Like with a guy like that running the floor with all the scoring weapons we had this team was dangerous. Once he went down and it became the Demar iso show it was fun to watch but man it made me miss the hell outta Zo.
I will always firmly hold that Lonzo has the vision and passing ability to put him in the Luka, Jokic tier of playmakers had he 1) not worn BBBs 2) had gone to a team other than the lakers (the combo of pressure to perform right away and a coach in Walton who refused to utilize him well was bad) and 3) not played so much on that backyard blacktop growing up
Coaches cant even be mad sometimes. How do you account for someone that can make pinpoint, full-court, passes? Very few players in the league would even try it, and the defense has more likely things to account for.
We had so much swagger early in the season it’s crazy
Nah that’s fax
The injuries and Covid really started causing doubt that carried over to all star break. We all thought we'd trade at least someone but we didnt. I think we should've to have a newer identity

He won’t

If he’s healthy, his knee is still fucked
We were before Lonzo's injure 😭
@@chucho91234 He actually has been healthy till health and safety protocol. Lonzo would've played at least 60 games.

That pass from Zo ta Lavine vs the Mavs. Sheeesshhh that may be one of the best ever!!
That pass at 0:24 was against Dallas not the Pels if you are talking about that baseball pass.

That bullet pass to lavine full Cory takes the cake you know how precise you gotta be to get it through 3 moving defenders to a player on the run
STACY KING IS THE BEST SPORTS ANNOUNCER EVER!!!! Notice the scores when the Bulls was at full staff!!! Man injuries killed us !!!
Nah hornets announcer better

If they could get an athletic big , like collins they would be super dangerous
@@seantaywest what about Drummond?
Lonzo is really a great player! Most people would be blessed to have him a point guard like him on their team
Shit I want him to replace cp3 on the suns if he has a healthy season playing with Kd and book he’ll be on another level
It’s all in the eyes, he’s 3-5 plays ahead mentally and just manipulates opposing players with his eyes lol next level shit
Zo don’t care if you got 3 defenders trailing you he gone get that ball to you whatever happen after that on you😂😂😂
That’s the reality 😂😂
@@skooptv3851 Ofn he see you open and got a shot at the rim he gone pass it there and if you get sandwiched that’s on you😂
Damn lonzo's court vision is in top tier 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not top tier….god tier lol
@@loo0oop its to early to say that LoL
@@poy7218 No its not….who else has his vision lol
Only legends have lonzo vison
Man I miss Lonzo
honestly a big fan of lonzo since watching him in chino hills, dude has it all. i wish he can stay healthy.
He’s had a rocky start but he’s figured it out
The vision is crazy 🤪 come back stronger zo
Can’t wait for zo to get back
0:22 I'm always amazed at how this pass looked fast and slow at the same time.
and so accurately, i’m a celtics fan and i LOVE lonzos game and iq
00:24 bullet pass by kuroko
so hyped for next season we gonna see the most outta ZO fr fr
Miss my man lonzo
Zo is best when he is not thinking too much but playing naturally, that's how gifted he is. Players like him you have to let them be free to improvise. Most of the time, the IQ will allow Zo to make the right play.
0:13 was a SICK pass and super hard to one-hop throw backhanded with enough force.
That’s what the bulls is missing. Lonzo be making everyone look good as fuck!
Yep that’s why the bulls are shit now the way lonzo plays was perfect for them and him and Caruso were killing guards defensively
king of dimes
Love these highlights. Those were good times, and hopefully Giddey can be somewhat of a replacement for Zo. All love and respect though. Also, gotta mention how hilarious and amazing Stacey King is..haha love that guy!
i like watchig zo play because hes a true point guard, not looking to score but get the highest percentage shots and thats what coaching staff wants
Lonzo Always had a knack to make offenses look smoother because he is patient and a selfless PG with scorers in the starting lineup so he Gives them more chance to get to go out and run
Brilliant. Just brilliant
Hope lonzo can still run that fast ti lead the break. He is such an interesting player to watch
I hope he's alright.

Lonzo is like what Rondo was to the bulls in the first 2 games against the Celtic. We need him
Can’t wait til he returns
First 35 games with Lonzo 22-13
First 35 games without Lonzo 16-19
Lonzo's dribble moves need an upgrade this offseason.
Why not every point guard has to be Kyrie
I think he spending his VC on something else.
Elite energy and tangibles. It’s simple, if he plays, bulls have no ceiling. Without him, you saw what happened this season.
The most important member of this current Bulls team is Lonzo Ball
Let’s go!!!!
So excited for a healthy team and hopefully some moves for the center spot!
Let’s go bulls!

love seeing lonzo with athletic finiahers
I can't wait for the Zo/Green connection to continue!
He makes all the right reads. He made me a better playa 😎
FLOOR GENERAL!
We miss you Lonzo
Nice pfp and yes we do

I get what his dad said he makes people look better around him💯
We need Lonzo, Bulls fell apart without him!!!
Showtime Bulls!
I really cant with people who dont realize the impact Lonzo has on the bulls. Ever since he got injured it just got worse and worse.
DEMAR DEROZAN PUTS IT DOWWNNNUHHHAH
1:36
A healthy Zo is an easy trip to ECF
7:38 that’s some Chino Hills stuff 😂
Favorite player
Man we missed zo post all star break
The good ol’ days
Hopefully he can stay healthy and up his assist totals. Don't see why he can't average closer to 10 assists.
Cause the ball isn’t always in his hands
Lonzo is in the right system
pelicans took the best L ever him and Zion would be a timeless dream duo
Watching in 2023 lonzo was the point god period made us the 1 seed idc what no one says!
ロンゾやっぱ視野広いしパス上手いよなぁ
cant wait to see him back!!!
The Best defensive guards duo in the league rn
Showtime Zo
Zo bout to turn up 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Damn he passed the balls so well
God damn I miss watching Lonzo play 😭
OMG This Guy is special ed. The Bulls will go as far as Lonzo leads them.
ELITE!
Lonzo is a nightmare on the fast break
Get well soon Zo
great long pass
Chi Slamma Jamma!!!
closest thing will ever see to a lonzo to melo pass in the nba 6:30 😢
Imagine if he didn't get hurt we'd be like a 50+ win team and probably 2nd in the east.
And was injured for like forever , when we needed him
We need you back man 🤕🤕🤕
The biggest thing they missed once he was out. Moving the ball 90ft wo it touching the floor
No way Kai sotto keeping up with the pace of bulls’ game😂
I knew this was a short video
"If you can't dunk, you can't be in Phi Slamma Jamma!"
Just stay healthy lad! 👏🏾
When lonzo was healthy we looked liked the best team in the east….👀👀
Coaches cant even be mad sometimes. How do you account for someone that can make pinpoint, full-court, passes? Very few players in the league would even try it, and the defense has more likely things to account for.
Off the glass lob to Lavine?
So Chicago got two slam dunk champions on there team I didn't know that
