    Yeah... LeBron is quickly approaching the territory where younger stars, like Kawhi, wouldn't want to join and then drag his fossil to PO/whatever...

    It's not this year, but it is very well next year. So... we better sell some awesome s*** this summer, cause otherwise we are royally screwed.

    I understand not going all out in the regular season, but this game could have been an excellent teaching point for the youngsters... Rondo used it. LeBron couldn't be bothered.

    Not even mad at this loss , it just shows the huge gap between a really good team with continuity ( even without Kawhi which allowed them to move the ball way more) and us right now .

    Raptors had a perfect plan and executed it very well : they targeted our poor 3 pts defense with screen and Javale complete inability to defend a pick and pop guy .

    Toronto just badly exposed our poor roster construction , we absolutely need a Ariza type of wing and a decent small ball center option

    After all these underwhelming years I am just ready to make a move. BI and Zo ... I don't see them developing into anything like their draft position might make you assume. Time to get someone in via trade.

    Nights like last night make me miss the team we had last season. At least they were fun to watch.

    Loosing by 40-49 points is something i DON't want to see ever again. That's why i take this years team over the past few.
    We'll be ok, i still have hope.

    WHY IN THE WORLD is KCP making so much money? And regardless of price, we shouldn't have signed him, he brings absolutely nothing to this team.

    Just imagine Randle on this team instead. Wow.

    turned off the game late in the first quarter. serge ibaka can't dribble twice, make a play off the bounce, or pass effectively. the whole league has known that for a while. and we let him eviscerate us. that's both lack of effort and lack of attention to detail. embarrassing.

    That first example from Ingram is the one that pisses me off the most. WTF are you even doing? It's the first possession of the game on defense, where is your head at??????

    Maybe me only but looks like he too has lost some weight and become more mobile. Even then our skinny front line was no match to physically do anything with him, leaving LBJ out because he rarely took on the hard physical banging with him, not to mention Ibaka was hitting everything he put up including the Js. I never quite understand how good passing against us (I mean good passing that is always faster than defenders can run) ..... getting to shooters on the perimeter who are Hot and hitting 3 pointers .... automatically gets called lack of effort. Some of the time sure but when the above is going on what else can be done. Good to great ball movement is just faster.

    My WMC: we expected far too much apparently from the kids.

    Ingram looks worse this season than he did last season. His shot attempts are almost identical to last season, his rebounding is down, his assists are down, his efficiency hasn't improved. It's only 10 games and I'm not panicking yet, but remember when you guys were crushing me for even suggesting we trade him for Beal? or trade him for Butler? Right now we'd be lucky to get those guys back with a package based around Ingram. He's playing terribly and he needs to bounce back in a big way.

    Kuzma is scoring more and seems like a good fit with LeBron, but his defense has been atrocious. Of 13 players on the team, Kuzma is 11th in DRtg! On a bad defensive team, that's unacceptable. He isn't rebounding enough and his shooting has taken a significant slide.

    Lonzo I'm less concerned about actually. He's been far, far more efficient this season and looks a lot more like he did in college. His FG% is up 10% and his 3PT% is up 11%(!!). Even his FT% is up 10% although it's still dreadful. What bothers me is that his USG% is down to under 15%. I know that part of his game is not holding the ball for too long, but that's WAY WAY WAY too low for a player of his caliber. He needs to be more involved and whether that's scheme or him not being engaged doesn't matter to me, he needs to have the ball more in his hands.

    Hart has been overall better and almost as advertised, but over the last four games he's averaging just 6.3/2.8/1.3 on 36.8% shooting from the field. He does so many little things to compete, but he also has to find ways to affect the game in quantifiable ways. If his shot isn't falling, go get boards. If he's getting beat defensively, go get your own points. Find teammates, do more.

    These are all macro complaints irrespective of last night which was a **** show for everyone.

    I think it's time to put hart back in the starting line up. zo hart ingram james and mcgee, back ups will be rondo lance kuzma and Chandler. keep it a 9 man rotation. at times if other team plays big, Wagner should be ready to put in some mins, but I think Walton needs to keep this rotation and keep it consistent, no point in experimenting anymore, keep with that lineup and let them gel.

    I think it's a bit unfair for Luke to be graded while coaching Lebron. I'd be curious how things would be going without him around actually.

    I wasn't sure where to post this because there are some good things in here but mainly bad, so that is why I'm putting it in here:

    Well @abeer3 and I have included Ingram in almost every trade proposal we’ve thrown out there so you’ve got some back up there. Lol
