that's surprising considering how many leads they've blown since last season the wins against s***ty teams like the spurs and pistons gave us all some false hope. this team is still hot garbage. still, the west is wide open this year and the right move might get them into the play-in game. not expecting anything better than that with this bunch
Let me make an advance WMC in the coming Portland game, it will be the same scenario, OldBJ dribbling us into oblivion and forgetting AD in the 4th.
Well, it is the Kings Franchise. They’ve literally done nothing since the media tried to paint them as our rivals in the early 2000s.
kings did Haliburton a favor anyways, if he was still in sac with fox he wouldn't have the opportunities to shine like he is now, Sabonis is like Vucevic/Love, put up big #s that dont lead to wins
Worst loss of the season. Easy. You have IND on a btb, up 17 in the 4th, lose, as the Russ bricks two shots in clutch, then walks away from covering the guy who makes the buzzer-beater. It's not ALL Russ's fault, but my gawd. Just terrible, egregious, excremental loss.
It’s time for SOMEONE on the coaching to staff to tell EVERYONE, mostly LeBronze, that the offense runs through AD. When it does, this team looks pretty decent.
You will always get a mixed bag with Russ. It’s up to the coaching staff to use him properly. They should have already known coming into this season that you can’t have him on the floor during close ones. He’s notorious for missing defensive assignments.
I feel robbed of my time after watching this abomination. Due to my schedule I don't get to watch many games, even on DVR. So I decided to watch the recording only to see us piss away the lead in the 4th.
Same here. We were up 17 and then just switched off. Turnover after turnover, not running any sets and just pounding the ball. Forgetting defensive assignments. Like what the heck. Russ with two terrible turnovers to finish. Lebron missing defensive rotations at the end. Even Troy Brown was fumbling balls. Damn man
From Dan Woike''s write-up of this debacle against IND: >And while Westbrook had eight points in the fourth, he was largely the lone focal point for the Lakers’ offense while the Pacers authored their comeback. “Next time out, I’ll do a better job of keeping us organized,” coach Darvin Ham said.< Let us pray this is Ham's code for "I will NOT have Westbrick out there in crunch anymore."
I think a lot of Russ running the offence has to do with Lebron having a poor game and looking disinterested. Then when he tried to get it going, he just looked slow in taking anyone off the dribble and his shot was off. Ham was stuck between a rock and a hard place. You shouldn’t have to rely on Westbrook to close when Lebron is on the floor.
He has been looking slow taking anyone off the dribble for at least 6 years now. His "get a call" drives are embarassing.
a loss in what was really a must-win for me. i'm pretty close to having seen enough, but my judgment is not going to match that of most of the forum.
