This team needs 3-point shooting. We're ranked 27th in the NBA. We're shooting worse than we did last year when we had a GM who thought you didn't need 3-point shooting to win in the playoffs.

I love the defense. I love Lebron/AD. But that is a serious problem that hasn't really been tested yet, except by the Clippers.

It's a team that needs a guy that can get his own buckets. Not named LeBron.

Yeah, I also checked that. Pretty unacceptable, given how many "shooters" we signed, and the fact that AD/Lebron get so much attention, that these guys have so many open shots.

Hmmmm.. did we actually play good defense in the fourth or did the heat just miss a bunch of gimmes?

It's the defense. It's a real thing.


If I heard what he said correctly vogel just said post game Lakers contested 88% of heat shots. That’s ridiculous.

We need another playmaker. Rondo will definitely help out on the offensive end, just hope he's ready to manage the defensive load.

I hear you, the games have been a little weird to me because they don't have prolonged periods of good play but at the same time, there is zero suspense about whether or not they'll win.

We have shooters but they have to knock down shots and come out those slumps. Could it be those guys are using more energy on defense and affecting their legs.

Rondo isn't the answer or much of a help imo. We need a 2nd scoring threat off the dribble. This is going to be painfully obvious come postseason.

DLo had 52 tonight.

And he stuffed the stat sheet besides the points. Great game from him.


Ok, he had a good scoring game. Missed my point that Kuzma is a bit overhyped at the moment.

Thanks for the personal attack, Baron.


Most people these days can’t think outside of binary terms. Kuz is either garbage or a future all-star.

He hasn’t played basketball in months and he’s just been playing a week. Don’t think any good analysis counts what he is doing now as anything more than getting back into game shape minutes.

They seem due for a positive regression, though.

Team simply will not continue the bad shooting. I"m almost sure of it. There will be days where we blow out teams by 30 points.

Exactly. Leave Kuz alone for a couple more weeks while he gets back into the flow.

I definitely think he will give us more than he's been giving. But I still think the "Third star" talk is pie in the sky.

KCP needs to talk to a sports psychologist. The dude just looks broken.

I was happy when you talked about almost quitting being a Laker fan because you couldn't stand the idea of rooting for Lebron.
