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

we gave the game away, lost it more than the pacers won it. however one big concern ive had especially for the playoffs was the free throw shooting. lebrons bipolar shooting and dwight has never been good makes me worry when the game is close and the free throw shooting gets magnified. its gonna be something they have to try to correct

 

I'm concerned with how much RONDO is playing and also the fact that he's actually trying to make plays down the stretch too going one on one or shooting a long 3 - that is NOT going to get us wins. Yes, Kuz and AD are out - but when that is the case, LeBron needs to be shooting or creeating and getting the ball to KCP or Green for 3's if the double comes. I do NOT want Rondo to be playing down the stretch like that again....he was good at 15-20 minutes - anythig above that is diminishing returns

 

I don't know if I'm seeing things or if any of you guys have noticed this, but Lebron's free throw form looked much better in the first few games of the year than it has looked the last few games.

 

Dwight's too.

 

not.anymore after Vogel saw what cost us the game.....then again someone did say he has a elbow injury

 

Can't miss 4 straight free throws in a tie game in crunch time & expect to win...

 

Rondo is a fu****** idiot...

 

game looked too big for them. but again, this isn't new or lakers-specific: role players tend to play better at home.

 

We need a scoring point guard that can break down defenses and is willing to shoot the damn ball. Rondo sure as hell is not going to cut it against teams like the Bucks. He is seriously starting to piss me the hell off.

 

Pretty summed up at LG for me on my thoughts; "no athletic wings 6'5 or over, not a great shooting team, and we don't have a 3rd scorer..."

The Clips are better right now.

And f*** Rondo.

 

did they mention that we're 24-5, have two top-five nba players, and have basically played all year without our presumptive 3rd-best player (kuzma)?

just for balance.

i'm annoyed AD had to sit that indy game. should have had that W.

 

Yep, this game was a toss up, the Indy game was a sure win with AD

 

Kuz has been inconsistent, a top 5 player who's 35 and starting to show signs of it, but I do love me some AD.

 

It was not an enjoyable game to watch, and it was crazy we were within striking distance.

We have lots of work to do, and it was good to have it exposed on the biggest stage. I hope teammates call each other out in the next film session.

 

My WMC which will probably be different than most here is:

Lebron's decision making in the 4th quarter specifically in the last 2 games. The turnovers, the missed free throws and the time wasting to shoot a late clock 3 killed us. Now, not putting today's game solely on that but it is significant when we finally make that push we need him to be smarter and more aggressive.

Oh and the F'n refs hosing us the first half of this game. Wow. In any case, bucks are great team and that boy Giannis is the real deal for real.

 

Lakers need to get Dragic. I don't know how but that's what they need.
