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. |

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. |

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. _________________ Under New Management |

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. _________________ Don't let perfect be the enemy of good |

Exactly. Leave Kuz alone for a couple more weeks while he gets back into the flow. _________________ Under New Management |

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. |
