    Can we trade Luke and Ingram for Brad Stevens?

    Kept Ball and Kuzma in the game together late. Coach of the Year!!!

    Seriously, if he wants more wins and an easier time, that's the recipe.

    Agree. And he had the right lineup on the court the last 8 minutes.

    Baffling that it took as long as it did for Zo and Kuzma to even see the floor at the same time. I think like 5 seconds after they did Lonzo got Kuzma a layup. They have chemistry Luke, it’s not that difficult.

    Yep. It's the type of improvement we need to see from the head coach, and I'm glad it didn't take him 30 games to figure it out.

    Luke deserves criticism..there's no doubt about it. At times we looked lost against the Clips...and of course defense hasn't really been something we can hang our hats on with these last 2 games.

    But a condensed training camp, a roster overhaul, having the 3rd youngest team in the league all play a factor and it obviously shows...its the Suns and we're up double digits, yet they somehow made it a game (I understand a young a** team ain't going to get whistles blown for us, and instead against us).

    I'll take the W, but its honestly going to be a long season...I just hope we can develop good chemistry and a good culture/system to build from.

    Having another coach terminated from his contract is something I really want to avoid (cause we're trying to build stability here)...I hope the FO has a long leash on him....but Luke has definitely got to show us stuff by the time we get to midseason.

    Yes he did. Limited Randle's minutes, made sure Deng was inactive. Made the right call to start Brewer on Booker. Played Kuzma with Ball more and gave Kuzma the most minutes out of the reserves with 28 minutes.

    Just hope that Luke will again notice when he watches film tonight of the game that Kuzma needs to continue to get minutes with Ball.

    Just figure out the rotations, Luke and remember: Lonzo&Kuzma.

    Good bounce back game. Really makes you wonder what the f*** he was thinking in that first game? I mean what in the world was going on with that? He went from starting Deng to inactive which seems significant.

    Brewer was a good call. I thought before the game that Nance was a bad call, but Julius has been a big baby so far being benched. He doesn't deserve to start based on his play and behavior of course so Nance is the right call for now.

    It's crazy how much better the team looks with just some decent rotations.

    Unlike LBJ sirron can pull it off as he's closer to likable. :Fishwink:
