Why did Frank not play Mcgee much in the 2nd half? You could clearly see he was affecting shots and making the clippers think twice before driving. Same with howard to a degree. That baffled me. KCP on kawhi was a bad idea too. Also, whats the point of having all these shooters if AD is gonna play in the high post?! He should be in the low post getting position deep where hes virtually unstoppable and when the double comes in, kick out! The fear in Franks face made me a little uneasy. He looked like he didn't belong LOL first game i know, but good coaches make adjustments. Lets hope he learns. PS: Our strength is size! Why did we go small against one of the best small teams in the NBA? Go big and out rebound/block/pound them. cmon!
who will also suck, seems like the asst staff is a collection of failed coaches who cant get hc jobs anymore
like most staffs then? i mean, our other coaching candidates were failed coaches (lue, monty williams), too. i'm not looking forward to coach kidd, either, but this is how most of the league operates.
I would agree but then you consider we had the option to add both Lue and Vogel this summer. One has the X&os and how to operate with stars, while the other can concentrate on defense. But we really let something like money get in the way of it. Wild.
Here we go again lol I still have no clue how we didn't address pg better than what we did Iggy would help with much less KCP. Stretch 5 might be a fix for some spacing with AD at the 4, which is why Speights made some sense. Or why didnt we sign Luke Kornet? Wagner made sense with AD, but he would be a bit small vs 5s
i know i see 1 or 2 lead asst for other teams have these failed hc. just seems like our staff has more of em than usual
Sounds like Vogel likes Rondo a lot more then I do. Hopefully it’s all talk and politics and he smartens up soon.
I don't get why there's any surprise about Rondo's role. It is in line with everything Vogel, Bron, and AD have been saying all summer. He's going to have a big role when he's in favor with the four most powerful people pulling on checks -- AD, Bron, Kidd, and Vogel. I think it'll be matchup based. Like I think Bradley gets a good burn tomorrow, cause his size plays much better against Utah than it does the Clipps. I am in no way shape or form in favor of Dwight starting a single game if McGee is healthy. For talent, fit, time served, and ego management reasons. I'd like to have a locked in 5 no later than 20 games in and ride it out. Situational starting lineups aren't ideal for chemistry.
Dumb move. Our starting lineup was outstanding. That wasn't the reason we lost last game. We are going to struggle with Rondo as a starter. Ideally you want him playing with AD when Lebron goes out.
You start Bradley, Green, Lebron, AD, McGee Rondo first off bench for Lebron, maybe switch out one of the guards too. Slide AD to center? Lebron and Rondo overlap in the second or have Lebron lead the bench.
