Clarkson was great defensively tonight. I don't know what you're watching.

Until Luke sorts these rotations out, Ingram has to deal with the pandemonium that was last season. There will be so much shotjacking between Lou, Young and Clarkson that Ingram will want to go back and play in Coach K's system. Any who is allowing all of this? Why Luke of course.


Preseason.

Priority is to see who has chemistry with who, how players respond to certain situations, etc...

It's practice with other teams.


It's going to take Luke a good while to realize what Coach Bud realized in Atlanta -- that Lou should not be on any team that wants to play legitimate defense. But yes, I'll give Luke the benefit of the doubt until he figures it out.

No excuses. Fire him right now


Luke is too handsome to get fired now.

So many people making it obvious that Julius is their whipping boy this year no matter what he does or how well he plays. They'll find a way to blame him for everything.


Yup. He was a big reason why we got back in the game but he's still getting bashed by these so called fans smh.

Actually if T Rob was out there it was Yi he should have been replacing, Randle was part of the reason we went on that run.

Yi did nothing all game but get destroyed in all aspects and then hit one three at the end.

Shouldn't be enough to save him on this team or give him PT over T Rob in a moment like that.


i am talking about that specific play...if there was a miss, I am 80% confident TRob gets his hands on it for a tip back, rebound, or tap out at a minimum.


Yeah.. Randle's the team's best rebounder. So if you're worried about a rebound off a miss wouldn't it make more sense to have Randle AND Robinson out there?

Unless you're trying to say we should have drawn up a play for Yi to take the final shot out of the time out...

In which case..

I am not saying anything except, I would have a guy out there that I felt confident to get his hands on the ball in case of a miss.....not sure how long Luke instructed them to wait before the shot, therefore I cant really say if we are looking for a rebound, tip in, etc., and in my opinion, TRob is the best option at that one tiny little specific task

No one on this team is good enough to "start" in an NBA game (yet). Good thing is our bench outperforms the second unit of most other teams on a good night.

He said this last game but resorted to the same shot-jacking starting unit.

And LOL @ Ingram only taking 2 shots. Even AB shot the same amount.

Thing is though, Luke isn't happy about the starting lineup but..

Deng isn't playing.

So it isn't our starting lineup.
