    Lou should have used the backboard. Been nice if we had those seconds we let run off the clock when Byron didn't call a timeout.

    I don't know what our offensive game plan was.

    We ran way too much iso.

    Defense was straight garbage. Rubio looked like Westbrook out there.

    That was a game that we should have won. Very annoying that we came unglued after being up by double digits most of the game. I'm telling you the Wins are not going to come easy this year. Still sticking with my prediction of 32.

    It was encouraging that Russell got the start tonight. However, I thought Byron played him too long in the third with the bench and should have brought back Huertas sooner.

    So much, oh so much. Byron, refs, bench lineup, Kelly, Bass, Kobe's love of threes, no offensive gameplan, horrible.

    This is going to happen a lot this season. I want to get rid of Byron and tonight you can see why; whatever, the FO selected him...this is why they get...

    I don't know what we were trying to do with Russell. I honestly don't have a clue.

    The lack of ball movement was just ridiculous to be honest. Russell, Bass, Clarkson, etc all were open plenty of times.

    And this is why when D'Antoni was fired, I wasn't in support of the hire. Get used to it. We're in for a long season.

    It's a lot say but he's my least favorite coach out our last 3. D'antoni with this team would get you 45 wins at least. Byron? Hope we get 30.

    Dude, no ball movement, no secondary action, straight Isolation's, no creativity at all whatsoever...

    I hate Pringles. I really hate Pringles. But he would do a lot with this team and all of our guards.

    I tried to give Byron a chance. I really did, but this was just incompetence...

    Byron's substitution patterns was baffling. Just awful. I'm not a fan of the Kelly Bass front court. No rim protection. Kobe was horrible. He could get away with having an awful s*** selection when he had his athleticism but since that's gone his traditional piss poor shot selection will cost us a few wins. This will be a long season. I'm pissed off right now. There was no reason to lose this game. None.

    I'm still so pissed I'm getting a headache! Byron's giving an asinine post-game and I want to punch his greasy face.

    It was awful. Lou, Jordan, and even Swaggy were nailing shots and we didn't get them the ball in the second half. I lost count of how many times Russell was open. He started forcing his own offense at the end because we weren't working the ball around at all. Kobe has a complete green light and needed to reigned in. He sat Swaggy and Lou for too long. I could go on and on and on for hours.

    And to top it all off he kept going back to Kelly. It felt like Kelly played more minutes than anyone else.

    Imagine Swaggy, Lou, and/or Kobe having an off-shooting night. We'd have lost by 30. They all shot pretty well all things considered and we still lost. Not good.

    I mentioned him the other day and I stand by that. At least we know we would get some ball movement on offense.
