you'll lose all games in which you shoot like that. i'm amazed it wasn't a blowout. honestly, portland should worry a bit in that regard. then again, we've shot like this basically all year, so...
Vogel's rotation at the end of the 4th, and quite frankly the entire game was inexcusable. Why even insert Dion for one minute? Dwight needs to start. AD needs to be better.

I’d like to see us go with this rotation: Caruso/Waiters Kuzma/KCP Lebron/Green AD/ Morris Dwight/ McGee And I agree, AD has to do better. Portland went twin towers in the 2nd half with Nurkic/Whiteside, and AD was to be frank, scared to go into the post with Whiteside defending him.
If we have any hope at all of winning, this has to happen. Danny Green should be benched permanently. He is no longer an NBA level player. Having him in the game is playing 4 on 5 on both ends. Fouling 3 point shooters is frustrating to watch. KCP hasn't been much better but Danny Green is worse. You can give those minutes to Dion and move Kuz over to the 2 for quick spurts. So Danny Green is benched permanently, run Rondo and Dion a little bit when Lebron is on the bench. So in a nutshell, bench Danny Green forever, and reduce KCP's minutes.
So... how in the world are we 7-26 in transition against POR? That's the worst transition shooting in the history of that particular stat tracking. It's unbelievable... if nothing else, we should excel in transition. I don't understand it at all.
Less McG, Green and Kcp and we might have a chance. Vogel needs to pull out his head out of his a** asap.
Having clinched the number one seed in the Western Conference for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James can now relax before the playoffs begin on Tuesday. The three-time NBA champion treated himself to some of his favorite tequila as he shared it on his Instagram story. https://www.talkbasket.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/15944585IIYsK6F.jpg They were drunk and had very bad hangover.Some sites posted that Lebron bought a big box of tequila before playoffs begin
Dame is the best and most lethal player in the bubble. It's scary that he was "held in check" with 34 points. AD has to put his big boy pants on. Bron has to be more selfish offensively. And KCP and Green need to go to Disney World and enjoy their vacation. Stay the hell of the court because they clearly didn't come here for basketball. We address those 4 issues and the adjustments the come with them (I've gone into each more in their individual threads), we win the series. We don't and we don't survive this round against the 3rd best team in the West.
I like Dwight’s game...but he needs to chill on the fouls. He is killing the rhythm with the fouls. Last..Caruso and KCP can’t be on the court together. Both are terrible shooters.
I agree. If the Lakers are going to win the Championship Lebron and AD may need to suck it up...and play more minutes. They had 3 months off...and are getting every other day for a rest. Not to mention it’s not like they have to travel. Time to become selfish.
At least the bald eagle will find other areas to contribute. Ranking our guards who can't shoot in terms of contributions it definitely goes... 1) Caruso 2) KCP - stop 3) Green - why are you here, again? I'd rather not see KCP and Green together honestly. They're clearly not in for their offense, so have Waiters or JR handcuffed to one of them at all times.
Ad n James aren't gona be able to do much in the paint as long as brick bros are hitting nothing, Por can pack the paint w/o any fears
I think Green will be ok. He at least has shot the ball well in the past. KCP has been inconsistent in the past...and looks to be back to his bad shooting traits. Caruso...I’m not sure of. He can’t be on the floor more than 10-15 minutes a game.
I've read more Lebron quotes related to BLM than to B-ball . I'm not surprised we suck , this team can't be focused on the title when your leader doesn't seem to be .
