    It wasn't an open shot ... Walton has to get better on "for the win" possessions , he hasn't draw up something else than isos all season long and we don't have this caliber of player to win games in such fashion .

    PNR with IT and Julius ( or with Brook) should have been the call here

    I figured as much. The way everyone else looked broken told me Thomas wasn't supposed to have the ball there.

    The players were mostly bad last night. I'm not going to put this loss on Walton at all. If we had any sort of contribution from Thomas all night, we'd have won.

    IT was 1-9
    Ball was 4-15

    We lost by 1

    So therefore Luke sucks
    (That just doesn’t even feel right to say when joking.)

    Our big guys have been producing, our guards need to step it up and be more consistent.

    Luke has been good this season, but tonight, I thought he could have been better, and yes, I'm being nice.

    Even though we scored a lot of points, I thought the offense looked pretty stagnant, and relied on one on one play far too much. Disappointing that there isn't any consistency by now. Maybe that changes when we get some players back.

    Defense was bad and shot making was worse when we really needed it from Lonzo. There's really nothing Luke could have done.

    They promised IT some level of crunch time when he came so he wouldn't be too negatively crazy about having to come off the bench but sure would have rather had Lopez back in there sooner in the 4th. Lopez on defense vs IT on defense .... hmmm .... that's a tough one. At this point could say the same about offense as well most of the time with Brook. And not the stupid f****** turnovers and caught in the air crap from IT every game.

    I'll add that I don't think it was as much about the defense scheme that was bad as it was the effort protecting the rim. Just absolutely inexcusable most of the time.

    80 F****** points in the paint

    More accessible than a direct link with them broken out by player, and a page with them all? What do you suggest? When you see how many have been made, and consider it's only 2 1/2 years worth? There will be plenty more, so it seemed best to host them in an organized fashion that was easy to filter.

    If you go to the main page of the site, there are also tags for the larger versions that can be looked up by name. But I'm open to suggestions for sure.

    No worries, it's fun to make them and fun to see them used. But there are too many to host here for sure.

    If LaVar's not being brought in to be the head coach then maybe we could have him be an assistant and then Luke could pick his brain every day?
