    We'd see that more often and will if guys continue to move off the ball like that and the spacing is correct...

    I need to hear the explanation for that play. Did Luke not know the clock? Did he draw up the play for Russ to pretend he didn't know the clock or did Russ not know the clock? I'd luke didn't know, Russ has to be aware and point it out to him, and if Russ didn't know that's inexcusable. I mean, wake the f up.

    Russell is trying my patience. He had 2 absurdly stupid plays tonight that just, I can't explain it. That play where he just fumbled the ball out of bounds, seriously wtf was he thinking? Then not knowing the clock at the end?

    Luke just said the shot clock violation play was on him, he designed a lob play for Ingram but it didn't work, he said he didn't remind them there was only 5 seconds on the clock. I don't know what's worse, Luke not knowing or Russ not knowing.

    When he's not shooting well things tend to fall apart for him. He was also horrendous defensively and was turned around by McConnell at least once... This is the worst he's played since the All-Star break for sure. Hopefully he bounces back tomorrow.

    Russ looks like he's blaming Randle for this screw up. Grow up Russ and own up to your mistakes.

    Luke said he drew up a quick play to score in 5 seconds, but didn't remind his players of the clock. This to me was two relatively young people new to their positions making a mistake. Luke needs to obviously point out the clock, not assume his players know it. D'Angelo needs to be aware of the clock literally at all times. It's part of what a point guard is supposed to do.
