This is an IHeart podcast.

I know that we normally try to make jokes here.

But sometimes you got to cover a subject that no matter how much I try, I find humor in it.

And you know, like, I can't.

Find zero humor in this.

We got to talk about Lonzo Ball.

This thing is out of control.

It's so sad.

First of all, Lonzo is not only a great player.

But the Bulls haven't really recovered since he went down last

season. I think they were number one in the East at one point, but he's also a good dude. He's a really

good dude, beloved by his teammates. The Ball brothers are, by every account that I've heard of,

totally good guys. How good was he with the Bulls?

When the Bulls were playing with Lonzo Ball, they were the number one seed in the East.

He was shooting 42% from three.

And even more important, the Bulls allowed 8.6 your points per game when compared to when he was off the court.

That was top 4% in the entire NBA.

Defense never recovered since he left.

So I don't know if that makes Alonzo ball injury update more painful to hear,

but it certainly if you're the Bulls doesn't make it any less painful.

So they, officially, the Bulls, shut down Lonzo ball for the season last week.

Yeah, I don't think you're shocked.
