    Sticking with small ball when they don't have the proper personnel is just brutal.

    Ariza and AB getting so many minutes is beyond me: Stan with only 15 minutes sigh. They need to push the young guys up to 30

    I guess he doesn’t care about keeping his job with these stupid small ball lineups!

    Russ has nothing to do with the fascination with Melo at 5 and Dwight on the bench.

    Everyone was on a high after that Utah win on Monday night, now Im convinced those articles leaking yesterday and today came from Vogel, it was extremely one sided and apologetic to him.

    Tonight was basically his FU game. Johnson was amazing last game and he played him only 16 mins tonight

    I thought it was the right move after Lavert was scorching hot.

    Still if your evaluating him why stick with small ball and Melo at C when your getting crushed on defense. Carlisle figured it out and he didn't adjust. Just kept switching midgets in the backcourt. Bradley just can't guard guys who can shoot over him anymore. So Russ benching solid, Bradley though and no Dwight or Stan come on

    Dwight should have been in on Sabonis in the fourth and Stanley Johnson should have been on Levert to cool him down instead of small guys like AB and THT who got abused by him.

    Maybe Frank was never fully on board with bringing in Dwight and DJ in the first place?

    Love the parting shot at Russ, love it. Bye Frank, thanks for the championship, sorry Kurt Rambis and Pelinka suck at their jobs and wasted a year of LeBron James.

    If the next coach does any better it's only because the team tries harder, not because he's better at his job. I'm done with this season anyway and if they want to fire Vogel, just do it and end this drama. What a mess.

    Thank you Vogel for your time on the Lakers and the title, you have been our best coach since Phil, by a pretty large margin.

    State of the Nation pointed out Vogel didn't play the Lebron, Stan, Monk, Reaves, and THT lineup.

    Really strange that he didn't go with the lineup that won the Utah game

    He makes weird rotation decisions sometimes. It's been a thing with him from the beginning. Still...few coaches in the league have a NBA title under their belt.

    There's no better coach available out there but some of Frank's lineups are just mind boggling. Like seriously, the hell is he trying to prove?
