    @LTLakerFan cant listen to it now bro, but thanks for the recommendation.

    In terms of the FO, it’s not right or wrong...just personal preference. Rob could be a goat exec one day, but imo either he or the people around him ain’t completely CBA savvy/experienced. If Magic was truly an absentee exec, someone was hard at work creating scenarios to clear cap space, right? Too many lost assets for my liking. Again not much finesse or imagination for my liking.

    I know it’s all talk on my end, but had Magic not quit before the summer and our summer still went the way it dude, I would still be critical of the FO...probably more, since I hold Erv to a higher standard based off his playing days.

    Anyways, imo Rob ain’t experienced yet, but sure he’ll get there. Till he does, it’s my preference the FO added some experienced dudes to it so that they could collaborate and guide Rob/Kurt/Jesse to greatness.

    I know that look in your eye LT...its just my opinion/preference ...don’t kill me for it bro haha.

    All that being said, Vogs is killing it defensively and our offense is eating off weaker teams right now (probably cause weaker teams have weaker defenses). Imagine if we had an X&os offensive coach to pair with Vogs defensive chops. /tongue-in-cheek

    Please don’t admonish me.

    Yep that’s the one haha.

    Let me attempt to get back in your good graces. I like Rondo and recently his minutes restriction from the calf injury has been lifted and tonight my body is ready for Rondo/Cp3 II...yet in spite of all that, I really hope Vogs goes with Caruso over Rondo as a starter and with heavier minutes while Av gets back.

    Don’t you dare do it Vogel. You better not put AD against Khal Kiwi, cause if you do I’m visiting you with my lil friend.

    i'm guessing he'll keep AD away from adams at nearly all costs. even if it means dropping the game.

    problem is that okc might hunt that switch and get it.

    point is: you can't hide all the time. sort of how load-managed kawhi managed to get a contusion and have to sit for actual injury reasons.

    All that is true, but AD hasn’t really been hitting the deck as often...let’s try to keep it that way. Cause bro...

    From Vogel's calves? Dude. I mean I love them .... always appreciate calf muscles in men and women. Shows athleticism usually. But a chubby? :giggle: :rofl:

    Now watching Beverly get leveled by Aquaman gets me off. OMG I love this. Better than BI pushing SM's guy Harden which I had as a sig for a year.

    Its nice to finally have a coach be known for something (defense) and it coming to fruition on the court. So much easier for the team to buy in when we are getting the results we are getting.

    I don't want to see Cook or Daniels next to Rondo again; that's a horrible combination.

    When Bradley comes back, we need KCP or Bradley next to Rondo almost exclusively...

    And again, it those little things that make a coach a good one. Sometimes all it takes is one small decision and knowing the momentum of the game and who needs what.

    Caruso made two extremely important plays at the end of that game, the big one was the slap of the ball that came off Jrue and got the ball back and Lebron went to the hole to make the game a 1 point game again. If Caruso doesn't do that, Lakers are down 3 with the Pelicans having the ball and who knows what could have happened there. Pelicans could have hit another 3 and the lakers would have been down 6 and that might have been the game.
