    We don't need to score 120 points every night, I think we'll be alright scoring 105-112 if that means we significantly improve defensively and Dwight can certainly propel the team in doing that

    With Russ at pg we have no choice but to play him at C until AD is back. Russ cannot be on the floor with a non-stretch big.

    It's a catch 22 really. I wonder who's bright idea it was to bring Russ aboard?

    LeBron and AD dropped the ball on that one. I can't comprehend what they were thinking after they crushed Houston by leaving Russ open all series.

    We all did with a few people who knew it wouldn't work but tried to be positive about it.

    We are all at fault. Lakers have to deal with it and figure out how they can fix it. It will be hard to fix.

    He’s just figuring it out. I’m not at fault. The non believers are just impatient fans. They are too good not to put this all together under Lebron’s leadership. 10 game winning streak coming soon. We’re getting close.

    Love it! More evidence that Caruso was a part of our Championship Core and his impact was always far greater than most stats could ever show.
    Mine eyes didn’t deceive me!

    I thought this was a fun one. Soul-crushing for PP. Utter devastation.

    Off game for his standards. Hopefully this isn't the start of his FT shooting plummeting. He's been shooting it so well this year.

    Man, LeBron a lot of this is your fault. Hopefully your GM days are over. clearly didn’t know Russ would be this bad which I guess I do understand but man. What a disaster.

    Lebron turned it around the 4th but those 3 bad possessions to end the first half cut a huge lead to two possessions and gave the Kings some confidence.
    With Vogel insistence on not playing Dwight, Melo out, and Russ shaving points you can't afford that. Yeah its a lot to ask to play MVP caliber ball all game at this point in your career but it is what it is
