Too early in the season to do that, players still far from top physical shape in every team, so rotations are not as strict on any team right now
Unacceptable if true. Sounds like Shaq. You should be ready to go day 1. Get in shape during the offseason.

They won with the plan he had last night.
Yeah. I like the concept that we will always have a lead guard (DLO or JC) for most of the game. Only time we didn't was a brief Lou/Huertas stretch that I hope we will never see again. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

NBA game shape is different than running on a track or practice. It takes a few games to get used to the increased minutes from preseason, more games in a shorter span.
I am in good shape, I played pickup ball for the 1st time in over a month last week and my lungs were burning.

Yup, if you look at the 2nd half minutes for Huertas, I think you are on point. I don't think he played.

Btw, I saw Stephen A went on another rant against Jim and the Lakers today. Didnt know where to mention this, but cant we have one day just to enjoy what Luke and the boys did before having to bear this ESPN negativity. _________________ Llluuukkkeee

You just gotta ignore all those clowns. At least with Skip I think he knows he is trolling. But Stephen A, is actually a clown. Guy threatens players and stuff lol

When we started DLO/JC last year, we had WAY too many minutes with Lou/Huertas last year off the bench. This year, that will likely be minimized with JC leading the 2nd unit where he can play lead guard and direct the offense, or with Ingram helping with point duties.
I think it's actually a pretty decent plan. Man, if we could have nabbed Kent Bazemore, would have been a really great rotation. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Luke choose the starting five i would've choose to play the rockets and i think he was absolutely phenomenal with his rotations and defensive adjustments on the second half. This is what i was expecting when the Lakers brought him here, a smart dude who has the chance to steal us a couple of games with smart gameplaning and out of the box thinking.
Dude's the anti byron, flexible, smart, positive and you see the guys playing hard for him, he'll not make every right move or every move the fans perceive to be the right one but with Luke at the helm Lakers fans can go home not worrying about the coaching side of the ball. We're on good hands
Dude, when you've resurrected yourself from The Artist Formerly Known As PUKE to Coach Luke, you've achieved something great. Coming back from that moniker isn't easy. Now, he's like Luke SKYWALKER to us!!1 _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

Side note: MDA is still a garbage coach. If the two teams switched coaches last night. Houston would've won by 30. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
Anyone else see that picture on DLO's Instagram of DLO and Luke walking toward the team plane? Lukes rocking the backwards flex fit cap and sweats, carrying his big travel bag with an iPhone in his hand. He looked like one of the players not the coach it slayed me. SwagBro just chilling. Made me realize how different this coach is compared to any other we've had or maybe any other in the league. I've read a lot about players being able to relate to him and that picture really bought that sentiment home to me, it almost seems less of a coaches and then the players type of set up than a bunch of guys all working toward a common goal. The last time it felt like that to me was the last championship teams but even Phil was a little hierarchal.
I think the sky is literally the limit for Luke as a HC. Learnt from 2 of the best in PJ and Kerr, been around some very cerebral players like Kobe and Pau, been around some hardened vets like Fisher and the like. Even when he played he was a guy that got by on his BB IQ rather than athletic ability. Not to mention he's from some choice genetic stock when it comes to the NBA. I think this whole package put together can make for a very influential and successful head coach.

Had to look it up https://www.instagram.com/p/BMFYZUqhPCF/?hl=en&taken-by=dloading good stuff there. Must be nice not having to always be on your toes. Phil probably wasn't one of the bros per say, but you could probably talk to him easier than general Byron.
Walton questioned the amount of foul shots Utah had and the review play
Utah slowly becoming one of my most hated teams. On the outside, they look like good guys, but Diaw apparently taught these clowns to flop. Gobert looks like he gets shot every other play. And Hill makes Lou look like a saint when it comes to flopping.

I want to complain about him running Huertas/Lou/Clarkson together, since Clarkson isn't a 3.
But we pretty much broke even with that lineup, so I can't complain.
Obviously Ingram hurting himself screwed up Luke's rotation. But we competed well nonetheless. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
My take away after 2 games. We have the right coach with the right staff. The team is playing with heart and tenacity. They are a team. They fight until the end. There is ball movement and team work. (it is night and day compared to last season). It is not about the players. It is about the coaching staff and the System. Those who buy in to the system will be kept. Those who don't, won't.
We have a whole season to determine that. I think quite a few fans will be surprised as to who is kept.
