    Wasting a challenge on a non-shooting foul makes no sense to me. We lost the challenge and even if we won, the end result would still have been side out of bounds for Nuggets. Felt it was an example of the coach just succumbing to their players complaints instead of being a good tactician.

    I thought he did a fine job coaching
    Good lineups and as always defense first. Zone last game and now LeBron in Murray to finish the game

    He needs to figure out this half court offense against the Denver packed pain defense. It's been an issue since game 2 and the Lakers havent responded well at all. He need to get LeBron in the post or spam LeBron/AD PnRs bit they keep shying away from that

    Succumbed because it was LeBron who really wanted it just out of respect I think. Or if Frank didn’t have a good view of it Bron convinced him. I remember thinking the former at the time.

    Very true. Especially considering the Miami Heat are identical to Denver, minus Jokic. So, the Lakers will be prepared even more should they face them.

    Hopefully Paul George gets this text message in Cancun. If not, Dame and CJ will forward it to him :)

    With a line "championship or bust!' hashtag. No wishy washy bull**** he claims they did not have.

    About midway through the Houston series, Vogel stopped worrying about hurting guys‘ feelings in his rotations, and started worrying about winning. That has made a big difference. Plus, I’m still so happy Ty Lue decided to turn us down.

    He should have been Coach of the Year - and all he's done in the playoffs is become an even better coach under pressure.

    12-3 in the playoffs so far...job's not finished. Bring it home Vogel

    To be fair, Nurse did lose Apples and Green, had a slew of injuries to deal with, then had to navigate his team to relevancy even when they were counted out at the beginning.

    For ours, Vogel is being Riley'd... Media thinks he just rolls out the ball then let the stars take care of biz on the floor. Not fair either.

    AD got robbed of DOPY. The votes he got were a joke.

    Nick Nurse was a good choice. He almost brought the same team minus KL to the East Finals.

    MVP, Giannis was a good pick just not the margins he got.

    Agreed on the awards, jobs not finished, but for the amount of s*** he got upon his hire (Williams, Lue etc) and that Kidd was going to take his job instantly.

    Put some damn respect on this mans name.

    ^Green strained hip? No other option. Vogel probably thinks THT isn't ready and no Waiters.

    Do you actually watch the games or just follow the graphics on ESPN.com?
