    Bogut will start... Lol. We know Luke loves that bench like we love Carusos hair do.

    Got to hand it to Luke tonight, smart move to start Kuzma since he started at Bogut. That gave us much needed fire power. Now if he'll just start Kuz the rest of the year I won't be whining as much about the starters.

    Yeah I was hoping for Thomas Bryant, but Bogut makes more sense for that game. Bogut won't be intimidated by the moment at all and we needed someone who wouldn't be afraid to mix it up and lay some hard screens too. Good decision there.

    Sorry but it's inexcusable to play Randle 8 minutes in a game where Lopez didn't play (and won't be playing for the next 3 weeks).


    I know we won this game, but Luke needs to do a way better job of distributing minutes. He's going to burn out Ingram and Kuzma playing them 40 minutes a game.

    Randle needs to be starting as well with Lopez out.

    Just saw Luke in Target in Manhattan Beach. Gave a needy family $1,000 to shop. Luke is cool. Ladies salivating at the sight of him. Haa. Funny.

    This guy can’t coach aside from “rah rah” cliches, I’m over it. He’s B0ron except a likeabe person. Moronic lineups, no real offense, benching Randle for Bogut and continuing to have us switch on EVERY PLAY. They KILLED us on the switches. And drawing up ANOTHER last second shot for KCP, my god why? Magic and Rob have freedom to fire him as far as I can see, he wasn’t their hire.

    This one's on Luke

    What was Hart or KCP doing in there over Clarkson during those last 2 possessions? I don't get it. JC actually played a solid game today and had 18 points.

    Come on man

    Can we sign Lebron just so he can force management to fire Luke? Nobody can convince me we shouldn’t be over .500 if it weren’t for Luke. He’s worse as a coach than a player.

    Luke put a lineup out there tonight, of JC, Caruso, Brewer, Randle, and Bryant, in a CRUCIAL time of the game when the Blazers made their run. This is not rocket science, I mean good lord.

    i'd say that the ninth time they ate up the switch was probably when you reconsider the strategy.

    I’d like to preemptively blame Luke for our Xmas Day loss to Minny. Poor rotations and lack of adjustments again.
