    Right. Just ignore the whole situation where we have had nearly half of our planned roster out for much, most or all of the damn season including Monk and Reaves. It hasn't affected Melo. Except when they expect him to play center, which isn't LeBron's fault. Swear to G! How do you just ignore that??

    Easiest schedule in the league and not the only team hit hard with covid/injuries.

    Same thing with you ignoring we have had one in LeBron for the last 3 years whether you hate him or not. Distorts your thinking on the matter.

    Unless you mean other than him, then I would agree. I also agree at his age it's not the best thing, but nonetheless he has been a good one. They tried last year with

    :Schrooder Clown: .... and we all know how that went. Russ is good at it, except for all the brain farts and things he's not good at.

    You to to relax with the “I hate LeBron” shtick. It’s just petty now.
    Yes, I meant other than him- that’s what we were discussing.

    I don't like the no center lineup. I hope this isn't permanent. We got away with it tonight, but it's going to haunt us later.

    Doesn’t look sustainable at all. Use it in spurts, but not all the time. Playing Lebron 39 min just isn’t s great idea at all.

    And if the team is getting abused by a journeyman center, put Dwight in for Pete sakes!!!!!!!!!

    this should've been a blowout with no KAT or russell

    again, how can you expect them to beat good teams when they're barely beating the bad ones?

    Barely beating a lowly Wolves team without its best players....

    I remember when everyone said: "Give them time till Christmas to figure it out"...if in January...

    well here you go. If I hear another Laker player/coach say "We feel good about where we are", I'll break my TV or laptop.

    Russ & THT have to give us better minutes.

    If Russ doesn't have 10 turnovers, I think we win last night's game in more convincing fashion.

    THT just has to play better. He's missed 15 or 16 made 3's? Got tapped last night on one.

    Either way, these two guys are getting a lot of mins, and we need better production.

    And please stop playing them together.

    As others have said, we HAVE to start rebounding better. Minny had DOUBLE the rebounds we did at 56 to 28. Wolves had 20 offensive rebounds compared to our 4 and attempted 17 more shots. Our turnovers were horrendous but as bad as they were, Minny had 6 more than us. We aren’t going to win against any good teams with those kinds of numbers.

    We have to trade away these bums.

    There is no magic switch imo. This group is incapable of what they need.

    We can repeat what they need to do but they obviously can't do it. So it's a moot point. Getting out rebounded so badly must be a scheme issue by design. No team in the NBA can be this bad.

    I have seen plenty of games with the other teams having 20 more FGs. That's kind of insane.
