    Hopefully Simon is doing some good work getting ready possible bigger man help as the season continues from between Huff (actually had some game in college and averaging 2.5 blocks here in 22 minutes), Johnson and Brown.

    Side note … Mac is South Bay’s scoring leader at 20 per.

    I don’t know what Vogel is thinking with this lineup. There’s zero spacing with THT, it should probably be Ellington.

    One step forward, two steps back.

    He's praying he can hold on to PG's ankles as he goes by him. Unfortunately we don't have anyone else to guard him since Baze became irrelevant and Bron ain't doing that for 4 Qs.

    THT with the starters was not good.

    This one isn't on Vogel, but if your 4 most trusted vets didn't realize the Just For Men ad for the Clippers was going to MURDER you for leaving him wide the f*** open, then you're all equally incompetent.

    Monk or Ellington should be starting.

    We have a defensive coach who can't get his team of players to defend or have any energy consistently. His coaching is even influencing me, because after watching these games lately my defense has gone, as I can no longer defend Frank Vogel.

    It seems like he will be leaving us sometime soon.

    I think it should be Wayne IF we can remember he's on the floor (they forget last time the entire first half) . I know that's REALLY hard to do with 4 other guys out there too, but it you can get it to him and get him to knock one down... he's good to go and it opens up the floor. My stance on this doubles down as long as we're starting Dwight because then we have even less energy off the bench if you're starting D12 + Monk. It's only Melo left on an island.

    Yeah. I’m good with that. Honestly I’m good with whatever it takes to stop the struggles we keep seeing.

    Vogel is either really confident of his job or trying to to get fired

    -THT in a starting lineup with DH/Lebron/Russ is just so dumb
    -Lue ate his lunch at the end. They kept running the trap on PG and Lue crushed it with either a dunker or 3 after a quick flip

    Round peg. Given square hole. Has superstars giving him half assed effort. Can't do a raa-raa speech and lineup change every half time.

    vogel should have called the "our role player chucks in a three off the glass" play, too.

    seriously, though, i highly doubt vogel was like: let's leave that slow white guy wide open. that's the plan, guys.

    yes, to add to my comment above: we get it, veteran braintrust: you want to pin this on vogel. fine. replacing him will not improve this team, though.

    @abeer3

    You might be right just having him come off the bench.

    I thought it would work having him start.

    It's early still, but last night, it wasn't good.
