Official Whine, Moan, Complain Thread 19/20-CLOSED "WE CHAMPS!"

We're gonna be fine. The beginning of this season is like waiting in a huge a** drive through line at In n Out in the summer, with broken a/c. It's gonna be worth it in the end, but waiting sucks.

 

only thing I gave up on is Luke, there's not much we can do for the team, magic/rob did good this summer (minus the randle/lopez not returning).....but to me there's not much redeemable with Luke, besides being "liked" I really dont think luke has done anything any avg. run/gun coach could do for this team. Once game slows down, this team is all sorts of lost and just go ISO mode

 

Again the opposite team shoots more from the line than us in a game we lose by 5 points or less ffs.

 

Come back around february... i hope

 

The other guys besides LeBron need to step up. He can do it alone.

 

I actually think lebron hasn't played very well. He stat stuffs but plays NO defense, doesn't close in the fourth and isn't hitting 3s

 

Wish we had 4 other guys not playing very well just like him.

 

My WMC is end of game execution. They just have not figured it out yet & LeBron seems hesitant to simply try to take over the end of games. This may benefit us in the long run, but for now, we're losing all these games in the final minutes.
We've shown that we can compete with anyone, but we need to figure out how to close..
Or be thinking about trading for another closer around the deadline..???

 

One other complaint...
I thought this Team would be 10-12 deep. Right now we're maybe 8-9 deep.
Beasley, KCP & Svi aren't giving us much, and waiting for Wagner to return is painful.
I know he's young, but he sure seems to fill a huge need for us right now. At least give McGee some quality rest so he's fresher end of games...

 

KCP has the best +\- on the team last game in only seven minutes. Svi isn’t being used correctly by the coach, and neither is Beasley.

I’m afraid coaching is a bigger issue than depth right now.

 

KCP is trash, Svi needs to find that jumper and Beasley should have been a center signing.

 

If they had the ball in their hands as much, they would be. Are you a big lebron fan? The guy plays NO defense and doesn't close. Great player obviously but unless you're blinded by fandom, I don't see how people can make a case that he's playing great.

 

NOBODY on the team besides James could ever post James current #'s for an entire season.

 

This is so true. How 28/8/8 is so easily taken for granted is mind boggling. He does make it look easy though.

 

I can't believe some people are honestly panicking. Each game has been extremely close. We're 2-5, but easily could've been 5-2. We'll start to win close games, and we'll win blowout games soon too. Give it time, jeez!

 

That's awful... and Vasashi was right.

I told my son's coach at the beginning of the season that LeBron, who has feasted on the whistles while in the East, would get the "Lakers treatment" by the refs. He looked at me quizzically... I had to explain that LeBron would not the calls he's accustomed to because he dons a Laker uni. I've seen it for decades and it made me mad watching Kobe getting fouled and no calls or Shaq.

I guess the trend and bias against the Lakers continues.
