isn't that the worse bit of it? And Wagner's been a better 3 point shooter this year |
Whoever is making these decisions need to get fired. How can you not bring back Brook Lopez who vowed to take a pay cut if we signed a max free agent? Lmao  |

Philadelphia is a better team after the moves...many weapons.
I still think they have a mental block against Toronto and Boston but we will see what happens in the playoffs. |

| +/- is not always the most helpful stat, but it tells the entire story today. Bench was beyond horrible. |

He addressed AD. Completely shifting focus of the task at hand. He needs to back away, and let this team become a team - without him.

Imagine thinking Kuz is the problem this game  |
So you think he has been defending well? |
I'm saying Kuz is no where close to being the reason why we're losing this game. |
He is, we are losing because of the defense him and his teammates aren’t playing. |
Right... one player isn't the reason a team gives up 140 points. I would also say KCP gave up more layups and open shots than anybody else. |

Simmons is their biggest weakness in the playoffs, otherwise they are the team to beat in the East. |

| Philadelphia today looked like the intro to that avengers movie. Everyone came in doing what they did best. Embiid making 3's, and making McGee look nailed to the floor. Harris making 3's, and getting layups at will. Reddick running around screens and shooting 3's while landing 5 feet away. Boban wearing Chandler like a backpack, and getting offensive rebound putbacks. Simmons clanking jumpers, and bricking dunks. |

| Our starters are about -3 average our bench is around -20 average. I wonder where the problem is? Could it be catastrophic rotations? |

SMH, exactly, Wagner has way more upside than muscala |
We'll trade BI/Kuz/Zo/Hart/Mo/Bonga for AD... and fill our rosters with quality veterans.
Because I'm told on LG... that it's so easy to find good rotation players to add to AD and LBJ.
I'm blaming management more than Luke right now... because they promised a good defensive team... and this is worse than what we had last season. |

Help off Simmons, force him to shoot. Stay at home on everyone. They definitely have an achilles heel until he develops a jumper |

What does him being "the man" on offense have anything to do with his defense? |

Odd starting Bullock and bringing Rondo off the bench. It would have made more sense to start Bullock and bring Ingram off the bench. Lebron not quite healthy yet, you can see it. I don't recall any game this year where BI & Kuz both played good at the same time. Bullock had a tough start but I think he will be a good fit. Brings a little more size than KCP or Hart. Muscala looks small compared to Wagner, not sure how he will play C for this team. Moe needs more minutes at this point.
Disappointing loss was all about the second unit. Or shall we say lack of second unit. |

Worst line ups in NBA history. |
He literally throws any type of lineup and hope something miraculously sticks, he's utterly clueless. I thought Byron was the worst, but man at least he was the coach of the Nets' team that went to the finals twice and had success as Hornets coach. Byron would even know to let LeBron do whatever he wants he wants and get the same type of wins Luke has gotten, it's a joke. |

| The only way for the Lakers to do anything this season is to replace Luke with a Phil Jackson lookalike. Just give him a clipboard and a high chair and I’m pretty sure he couldn’t do any worse. |

Magic's ego won't allow that.

I’m over hoping for other teams to lose.
It’s become pretty embarrassing and in critical games they are getting blown out...whatever. |

Maybe it wasn't a good idea for Magic to put an arm around the team and tell them it's all right. I've always thought this team need a Pat Riley type coach and GM. Just as soon as you think their back on the right track... They miss the F'@#&ing train. This team needs a foot planted firmly between the cheeks... AT ALL TIMES. THE HELL WITH THEIR FEELINGS, THIS IS A BUSINESS!.

Kuz has 37 and Ingram had an efficient 19. I would say that’s playing well.
We lost the game cause of Luke |
