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

We don't play until Wednesday.

 

Our 3rd guy is Caruso. Everyone else is just hoping to be considered for 4th tbh.

 

our third guy is who cares cuz lebron/AD. our third guy needs to be a consistent top-5 team defense, tbh. my wmc is that we're not a top defensive team of late. i liked when we were. let's do that some more.

 

I’m sorry fam, but goddamn we need a consistent 3rd.


Bron’s a f***ing rock to be up there with them young boys...especially with the type of usage he has to do for us.

There’s only one super nova duo on that list. And imo, that’s not a good thing.

I’m with you. I also don’t buy that it’s all a symptom of Avery Bradley being out which has affected our defence that much.

As I mentioned last page, I’d be prepared to package Kuzma for a good defender at the 3.

 

It proves that basketball players are suppose to play basketball. Lebron is 34, not 42. Chillax, he will be fine. Doesn't look like he's expending alot of energy in games. That's why he has a 26 year old mega star to throw in the blocks for.

 

Nope.

 

Haha...our over reliance on our star duo during the regular season is irrelevant. Bet where’s newly minted 25y/o Giannis on that list?

That no other star duo other than MDA’s is doing it so far this year (min 30mpg, 20games played), seems relevant enough, right?



Seems relevant, to me at least, to get our lead guys to the playoffs without burning em out. But do y’all care? Nope.

Weird that Laker fans are so apathetic, seeing how we go only as far as they can take us.

 

We watch the games. WTF else do you expect us to do? It’s certainly no fun listening to you yet you seem to want company in all your angst rather than enjoying the season. No thanks you have it covered. We have NO effect on what happens. You’re over the top with all of this. But by all means carry on.

 

We’re in the WMC...aren’t we?

How am I over the top when there are two star combos seeing big usage (Htown and us) and out of the two, it’s only our duo with the most total minutes played.

We should all be concerned with our stars’ well being...but more so since they in the company of how MDA runs his stars...or did you already forget?

 

Seriously what is this “we” crap? You want us to emulate what “you” do? No thanks.

 

Alright...I thought we all fans here that can share dialogue on the team. That’s what we can do here, right? This fan is concerned for our star players health and at least to me that doesn’t feel far fetched. But by all means, do you.

 

We know you are. You know I and others who have told you we’re sick of listening to it. Not only do you not care ...... you want us to be as worried and pissed off or disappointed or whatever it is that you are with the front office and in constant worry that something bad is going to happen because the coaching staff does this or doesn’t do that. You have enough of that for everybody.

It changes nothing!!

 

I post a variety of content.

You want to focus on one type and label me a cynic...that’s fine. Do you.

I’m completely fine with my many observations towards the team. Stats back up some of it too and are hardly irrelevant.

My focus is improvement and I’ll state it as I see fit on a discussion board. You don’t want to discuss that, then keep it moving. Why should I change how or what I discuss here if it makes you uncomfortable?

And you voicing your displeasure towards it, changes nothing either!!



He is The One to lead us to a chip, but we need to do better so that dude doesn’t need to keep dodging bullets...



...cause one will eventually do more than just graze his groin.



Btw, Cranjis shouldn’t be posting that kinda stuff above cause there’s nothing we...oops, not we, he can do about it.

 

More ANALytics. Please, keep posting these. Nothing makes me excited than a USG% stat. More PERs too, por favor.

 

@vasashi17 I love you bro - going way back to CL days - but my goodness, you've become one of the most annoying posters here at CL and I don't know where things went wrong with you but can you PLEASE get back to the old Vash?

You seem more concerned with being RIGHT about your crazy theories than actually enjoying this team - that's problematic as a fan.

Just stop with this man - AD and LeBron are both under 35mpg for the year. For perspective, since you LOVE to bring up MDA - Kobe Bryant was at 39 (!!!!!) MPG the year he tore his achilles. Thirty. NINE. AND that was the year that Dwight was playing with an injured back - so Kobe had to carry the load a bit more that year than usual. It's safe to say THIS team is way better and more balanced than the 2012-13 Lakers, amirite? Also - AD/LeBron don't seem to be working too hard to get their points. They are doing it with relative ease and they can also afford to take possessions off and just throw the ball to the other and let them go to work.

You wanna know somethign else? If you don't account for last year with AD's minutes..he's averaging the SECOND lowest MPG of his CAREER - second to his ROOKIE YEAR only.

You wanna know more? LeBron is also averaging a career low 34.4 mpg.

Please stop with your BS Narratives that we're running our stars into the ground!

 

What’s annoying is you guys making excuses to water down a legit concern.

AD’s shoulders have showed up on our injury report throughout this season. Dude is managing the pain. He’s got mamba mentality and maybe that’s got you seeing things different. Here’s a reminder: http://www.espn.com/nba/injuries/_/team/lal

Bron, we already know what it is with him. Last year was a first for him, so him playing the 4th most minutes compared to his younger contemporaries says something. You’re focusing on his mpg for his career when he was younger, completely ignoring that dude is close to the league leader in minutes played and about to turn 35.

Lastly fab, you need to cut the BS. If you think our guys getting hurt will make me happy cause I was “right”...well that’s a ridiculous insinuation. Just stop with that noise.

 

This was the post that started it tonight. Of course we care. We KNOW you care about all your pet issues that you're worried about. You don't have to keep repeating them. It doesn't mean we don't care and are apathetic or even not worried about some of them. If everyone would just say, you're right vash would that give you satisfaction to stop belaboring it all unendingly? F****** sign me up. Or would you wail about it even more because we said you're right? No and probably yes.
