Frank Vogel Official Lakers Head Coach for 3-Years

Tonight was a pretty bad game for Frank, and so has been some of the others in the last few weeks for offense. He was getting a pass from me because of the road trips and then recently injuries. But today he had a fully healthy lineup. The Lakers took 45 three pointers, which when you have Lebron, AD, Dwight, McGee. This should just be unacceptable. 25-30 ok. That is balanced attack from a paint scoring team. 45? Frank needs to have a long talk with the crew about the 3 point shooting. If this is how we want to play, any time a team zones and/or plays us tight inside, we need to go out and get some better shooters. What we need to get is that the better teams and defenses want us shooting those 3s. They are not afraid of us as a 3 point shooting team. They are afraid of Lebron getting shots inside, AD, Dwight and McGee. They do not want those guys getting good to decent looks inside because it's over if they do. So we need to work harder to get them good shots and priority should be to get more movement off the ball for Lebron, AD, Dwight/McGee.

I'm curious to find out if there was a play called on the last shot attempt.
He should've told them to get a quick 2 which they weren't going to get fouled on or run a quicker 3. What we settled for was the worst case scenario.

Bradley and Kuzma need to be given more of a leash. They are capable of more than what their roles are limiting them to. The same can be said about Dwight as far as his minutes are concerned. As soon as he sat the game got out of hand. We starting giving up a lot of offensive rebounds.

We don’t necessarily need a trade if we can just give bigger roles to a few guys. I honestly believe Bradley is capable of giving us 15 with some playmaking and shot creating. Dwight could easily give us 10 and 10 if given more minutes and kuz is a 18-20 ppg scorer. It just boils down to AD and lebron sacrificing some stats. We would actually be a lot better

Kuz needs to be treated like Lou Will. Let him break from the system and just score as long as he can reign it back in and play within the offense down the stretch.

Now lets see how good of a coach he really is in how he handles this situation. Changes have to be made, that much is certain.

Once again our head coach has fallen in love with Rondo and starts playing him with Lebron and to end games. This is going to be our demise in these types of games. The pain was completely packed in the 4th Q because no one respects Rondos shot. Last night if those Rondo minutes in the 3rd and 4th went to Caruso and Dudley instead we win the game.

I would like to see Vogel be more aggressive with his challenge.

He should have easily challenged the foul on KCP when Harrell basically pushed KCP out the way. It was a clear offensive foul.

Or he could have challenged the Zubac and 1, that was offensive interference as Zubac grabbed the rim before the ball went in.

If you challenge saves you 2 points, it is worth it.

Vogel has went away from lineups that have been working very well to force feed Bradley and Rondo more minutes.
For example, the Caruso+AD+Dwight has been a killer combo that has helped keep the team rolling while Lebron is on the bench yet we've went to it much less frequently.

Why was AD still in the game during the 4th when the game was in hand and why did Bron check back in with the Lakeshow up 14? What the (bleep) is the deal with doing that Vogs on a b2b on you star duo still battling lingering injuries? What the (bleep) is wrong with ya bruh?

Asking for a friend.

I have seen some changes to the offense the last 2 games. A lot more ball penetration to the offense. The way for this team to succeed is a mentality to get the best shot possible after creating penetration.

Rotation is a lot better with splitting Rondo-Bradley up, KCP works with Rondo and Green with Bradley. Our bench with Howard, Kuzma, KCP, Caruso and Rondo is looking legit good.

Love the adjustment the coaching staff. Our bench actually are producing now. I see Vogel as a coach that is very well prepared, finding him to be a mellow Pat Riley version.
