Here’s a good way to gain the respect of your teammates when you’re in the middle of the worst shooting season by a rookie in recent memory: mix it up during a scuffle, let everybody know you have their back when shit goes down. So when this little skirmish broke out last night between the Suns and Lakers, Lonzo had a perfect opportunity to gain some esteem in the locker room. But instead of jumping right in there, he just moseyed his way over to the bench.
Jay Cutler thinks that was soft.
Look, I don’t want to go after Lonzo too hard because he didn’t ask for all this pressure, his dad did. But you have to at least make an effort to get into the mix there. At least walk over there and pretend to break up the fight. We know how quickly teammates turn on each other in the NBA.
His reasoning? He wasn’t trying to get a tech.
.@ZO2_ following the game. “People ain’t really gonna fight, so I ain’t trying to get no tech.”
Wouldn’t mind seeing Lonzo get a tech… pic.twitter.com/jc636T34Ws— Allen Sliwa (@AllenSliwa) November 18, 2017
It wouldn’t hurt to show a little fire.
I guess we should’ve known
