Stop blaming Luke or our defense. Both of our big men are out. Of course the defense is going to suffer. We had a legit chance to win at the end if it weren't for Lonzo throwing up bricks. Maybe it was Luke's mistake to use Lonzo in the 4th at all.


We had a chance to win if Lebron would actually try and score. We might as well had him on the bench for Rondo.


After he made the 40 footer, next possession Grizz hard doubled him leaving Lonzo wide open. What do you expect Lebron to do? Shoot a contested 40 footer over 2 defenders? Lebron can only do so much to help this team. I would be pissed and demoralized too if I had to carry my team to a win every night.

It's good for Lebron to take a step back and see what the other guys can bring.


Oh because no superstars have ever carried a team to victory while being doubled....


It's not the percentage play, ESPECIALLY in Luke's system which emphasizes passing


Disagree, it is the percentage play. Rarely if ever are bad shooters going to shoot you to victory.

I’m officially on the Luke anti bandwagon dude is responsible for giving this team a bunch of stupid loses this year.


shouldn't it be the anti Luke bandwagon?


Gadget, Luke needs surgery brain along with Phil.


Lonzo needs surgery brain to fix his disaster 3 pt shooting.


Or maybe our superstar shouldn't keep feeding him out there and pressuring him to shoot?


That is exactly why we should be upset, our guys are rewarding him and he keeps bricking them.

Well that's the Lebron effect. If you aren't a catch and shoot player, your weaknesses are magnified.


Luke putting his players in a position to fail. We saw it coming. When zo is ice cold dont leave him in to catch and shoot.


Lebron is putting him the position to fail, let Zo handle the ball if you aren't going to shoot it.


Kuz did as well. Is Kuzma putting Lonzo in a position to fail? Is everyone? Zo against the world, is that it?

I like JJJ but he exploited a team without their two best defensive centers.

Zu did decently... and I liked how he's learning how to stay in the game without getting into foul trouble... but Tyson and JaVale would have cut his numbers in half.

He's not a shooter, would you keep kicking it to Ben Wallace in the corner?

A shot over a double team is never the percentage play according to anyone. You pass it to an open man, especially in a system modeled off GSW

Then he drives, and yet he never drove ONCE today. Not one time.

Passive Zo is useless Zo. He needs to be benched when that happens so that it doesn't positively reward him for playing like that


I wonder what psychological tricks Phil Jackson would have tried with Zo.


Phil's trick with all the young guys would have probably been to make them disappear....Phil was not big on playing young guys

You mean like passing to an open man, who then drives and passes it to someone else? Interesting, maybe ask Lonzo why he didn't?

Zo's body language looked bad. After he missed a shot at one point he hung his head for several seconds. I won't say he's a bust, but I can't believe some on this board still think he'll be a star some day. Coach needs to take him out if he continues to be a liability on offense.

Lebron was too cool and passive tonight. This is why, even though he's a phenomenal player and talent, he's overrated in the grand scheme of things. He doesn't have the killer instinct that most other all-time greats have.

Convince him the hoop is a moving target?

Based on how he was coasting tonight, expect Lebron to have one of his 50 point games against GSW. Maybe playoff Lebron preview.

We will see whoelse can hang and who steps up.

Can't shoot, can't drive, can't control the offense, exactly what qualities make him a starting point guard?

Really none, he's a pretty good rebounder, passer and defender. Nothing special at all.

If you actually watched the game, you would have noticed a number of times Lebron waved and no one came over. I counted at least 4

Even the offensively anemic Grizzlies have players that can shoot.
