| I hope they prove me wrong, but I don’t trust this team to beat the Clippers in a seven game series. LeBron is too passive and not aggressive enough. AD is good, but he can’t carry this team all the day on his own. The Clippers may lack the length to compete against opposing teams, but they show grits and toughness when the going gets tough. LeBron must lead the way by being a bit more aggressive and showing some toughness. |

The important thing to remember is that it is Kuzma’s fault.

| It is not even about this. It is the style we are playing. It is recipe for failure. |

Because everything Kuzma touches turns to poop.

The worst. Only reason we lost tonight.
Should get cut when Collison is ready.

Kuzma is the greatest player ever. I feel sorry for him that he has to play with bums like LeBron and AD. Rob needs to put a better roster around him. |

I guess the early season rumors were true.
that if teams play a physical style basketball and impose their will, this team folds.
That was the case tonight vs Hou.
This is what makes Hou and Clips dangerous to face in a playoff series.
Both have players who arent afraid to get physical and have players with killer instincts. We lack both. |

| Forget kuz, lebron is the one carrying the team, and he certainly can’t do it by being passive |

Kuz is worse than the pebble that gets stuck in your shoe.

I bet Collison will fix it. He can fix everything,
Lakers got outworked. Positioning, rebounding, working through screens and closing out on 3pt shooters.
Trend continues against the good teams. |

Bullied by a gang of midgets tonight. They should collectively be pissed at themselves. |

Ultimately this falls on LeBron. When he's aggressive it seems like the rest of the team follows his lead.
It's always been the bone of contention with LeBron. When the chips are down, he's doesn't impose his will. He has no real killer instinct.

I disagree.
I think we are lacking a killer instinct.

We definitely lack that toughness and grit, we got the Hollywood personality as a team but without the Hollywood skills, that isn't a championship winning combination.
Put our roster with the Clippers and they would probably have the top 5 guys when it comes to having that dog in them. |

Yeah, that MozDeng deal screwed us for at least a decade. Good point!
