It's official: Luke has done everything possible to make me hate his guts just as much as Byron. Unbelievable. |
Luke making sure he's completing his self fulfilled prophecy. Say Lonzo has a long way to go, sabotage him by playing him with bricklayers, then ice him in the 4th and say it's all his fault. (bleep) LUKE! |
People here should be grateful DLO is gone. He no longer has to deal with this BS from this organization anymore. |
Good for him, but not for us.

One wonders how much longer Ingram can play like this with no repercussion before the locker room starts to turn on Luke. Or at the very least start tuning him out. Inconsistent coaches don't last long.
What makes Popovich special is that when he says something, he means it, and nobody gets special treatment. Luke says something, but gives out special treatment. "This applies to everyone BUT" goes nowhere fast with a young team.
Luke had an opportunity to apply that and make an example out of Ingram, but he didn't, and punished other people that worked hard. It's not hard to understand why he's losing some guys.
One wonders if he actually notices it. We'll see.

I give them credit at least for fighting the score back from 30 down.
We need a new coach. The missed shots you understand, but the sloppy play, lack of effort on the boards and defense, random substitutions...
The Clippers were better, but we should've at least been able to keep the score close. |

When you practice against a terrible defense...you're players are going to look better than they are (Ingram and Randle)

was there a directive from Luke to freeze out Kuzma out there?
He has been asking for the ball a lot of the time and the other guys just keeps freezing him. Randle and Ennis specifically. |

Now that the fantasy of Paul George and LeBron James coming is effectively over with. What's the chances of retaining Lopez this off-season?

This is the first time I wished a bomb dropped on Staples Center so I wouldn't need to see the entire Lakers roster, the coaching staff and Magilinka.

You aren't the only person who notices that. The locker room does too.

| This game made no sense. So we want to play up tempo we roll out an absolutely terrible fastbreak starting 5. We allow BI to iso every other possession even though he is a terrible iso player. We don't make any passes and our only offense is simple curls. The players were bad but Luke gets an F for this game |

I think KCP’s return will help a little bit defensively. Hence the words “a little”.
But I think our offense will still be a train wreck until Luke finds a way for us to consistently get easy buckets.

When a coach benches guys who earned the start based on preseason, and keeps getting outcoached, he will eventually lose the team and you get historically bad seasons. This byron all over. |

Seriously, I don't think they could've played worse. |
