Official Whine, Moan, Complain Thread 19/20-CLOSED "WE CHAMPS!"

mem hype as in using it to gauge his upcoming season possibilities, we've seen what these late season gm productions means very little towards the next season. He's cheap enough not to bother me like KCP but Bradley ain't returning to his Bos days, get better at shooting and stop fouling, seems like his shooting is going to be spotty just like KCP

 

Yeah that’s still not hype, but go ahead and stress ticky tack fouls from a physical defender in the first 2 preseason games.

 

oh are refs going to stop calling those fouls in regular season?

 

I'm trying not to judge too hard. Just kinda wanted to be wowed and so far he seems just okay.

 

Pretty much agree with this take.

 

In a lot of cases, yes. There's always a lot of fouling in the preseason as the refs are trying to set a tone and teams are figuring out their schemes. Preseason is where players find their timing and groove on both sides of the ball.

The only "hype" was Vogel making some nice comments about Bradley in training camp. I don't consider a couple quotes from the head coach to be hype. Even if the guy can't shoot, I'd rather have him out there defending PGs over KCP or Rondo. He's also taken a total of 9 shots. A little early to write him off on that end. If the last 15 games in Memphis mean nothing, then it's fair to say a 2 game sample size where he's played a different role with different lineups probably shouldn't be read into a whole lot either.

 

I get trying the starting lineup of Rondo/KCP/Dwight to experiment but that was doomed from the start. I think Rondo would best fit with AD at the 5 or without him in general. Spacing will be an issue if our wings can't nail their shots, lets hope the forget-how-to-shoot-when-on-Lakers syndrome doesn't happen.

Guard play is going to be huge and someone is going to need to step up. Kuzma's unclear injury hurts a lot, he was going to be our 3rd scorer which we don't have right now. Offense staggers a bit without Lebron or AD.

We just need to start gelling and stay healthy... I'm gonna stop rambling now.

 

Funny cracking on Rondo after this game vs Nets. We'd hope for that kind of shooting out of him.

 

I am going to watch the game just now.Damn this China time

 

I just don't think its sustainable at all.

 

Of course. Just saying.

 

KCP,Caruso ,Norvell ,Cacok,Jackson
are not going to play at the end of 4-th quarter in regular games,and Lakers didn't have any bigs like for half of quarter whille Brooklyn had DeAndre .

 

They lost a preseason game... blow it up!!!

 

kuz's injury remains mysterious, and that's a big concern.

 

WMC is probably the best place to continue talking about China and the reverberations from Morey's tweet.

And so it begins...
Anthony Davis has a sprained thumb.

 

W.T.F.

 

Google says it’s 6 weeks recovery time...

 

depends if he damaged the ligaments

best case scenario is that he just jammed it. but with this team's luck he's gonna miss a few months and then continue to suffer through it
