|
|
For years, we were never really disappointed after a loss because that outcome was expected from our crappy teams. Tonight, for the first time in a long time, we finally feel disappointed after a loss like it should be. That’s a sign that we have a good team. _________________ Billions Billions Billions |

Not greatest loss ever, but greatest loss overall?
On a serious note. I dont think there is a good loss ever. But I do think we were playing a dangerous game that we wouldn’t be incentivized to fix without a loss. |

It was a loss, it won’t be the last. I’m not going to criticize the players, they just got outworked. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

If we can improve our 3 point shooting a little bit, we should be fine.
We need more post up from AD as well, it was too much drive and kick |

We missed too many layups. Also too many shots got blocked. Credit to the Raptors though for playing good defense.
The Raps got a lot of easy shots in the paint too. RHJ, Bobby Boucher, Terence Davis had great nights. I remember last year vs the Raptors,Kawhi sat out and it seems like the Lakers thought it was going to be a free win.
On to the next one. |

Anyone concerned about AD?
It doesn’t feel as if he is ... as focal a point of our offense as he should be. He doesn’t seem as dominant as he is typically is.
Boards are down and shooting a career worst FG% too. |

Not really, aside from his jumpers not falling yet, he’s been as good as advertised |

Not concerned about the #s but I am concerned about his shoulder. Hope it's not a lingering issue all season long. |

I’m fine with this lose, I knew coming into the game it was gonna be a tough game.. Nick Nurse is a good coach... let’s hope our guys can understand that this isn’t gonna be easy and they need to play for 48 minutes. |

Worrisome loss tbh. Kuz is a defensice liabilty Raps isoed him to make their comeback, now imagine this vs Clippers. Lou, Kawhi, and PG will take turns..you cant have him on the court in the end if his defense is this bad. We need athletic defensive Sf |

Oh he has been generally great. Just not as consistently dominant as he was with the Pelicans offensively. He is much better defensively though.
Though I find it weird his rebounding is down so much.
And his turnover rate has skyrocketed.
I think he is still trying to find his way. He’s good, don’t me wrong, but offensively, he’s much better than this. |

He's playing with guys who are also good rebounders. I figured his REB's would be down playing with LBJ/Dwight/JaVale. |

Nobody is concerned about Lebron? 5/15 is just not him |

So far we've lost to 2 teams without one of their best players.
I only wanna play against full squads. |

IMO I think if Lebron wanted to he'd go full steam into the paint every time and either dunk on someone or at least get fouled and shoot FTs.
But it's so early in the season that I'd rather he save that extra gear for the playoffs.
We need to win these regular season games without Lebron going playoff mode every game. |

It's only a "great loss" if they see their deficiencies, and work on fixing them. |

I said 80-2 from the beginning. I always felt 81-1 was reaching a bit. |

AD was giving Pascal fits, but as soon as Kuz came in, it was BBQ Chicken time. He destroyed Kuz every time. |

Vogel and co got outcoached also. The offense was putrid for most of the 2nd half. |

Add Kuz to the long list of players that Siakam has fried this season. It's not like he's some scrub. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points." |

No doubt, but he made Kuz look worthless. |
