Last year we needed to address the shooting and what do we do? Sign Trez who can't space the floor, trade for a guy that can't space the floor, and completely ignore the big guy that can space the floor.

You can't make this (bleep) up...

Regardless of us playing bad, this game has been officiated terrible...and I'm not even worried. Are we supposed to be impressed W the Suns winning on their home floor just because Mavs and Blazers both won on the road?
We win the next one, and we're right back in this, but only if the Officiating gets a lot better, and we play a bit better.
Lakers in 6

Well LeBron is hurt, but AD is soft.

Who does not play game 2?


Rotation should be what it always should have been

Schroeder
KCP
LeBron
AD
Drummond

Bench:
Caruso
THT or Wes
Kuzma
Harrell
Gasol

But Vogel just doesn't want to use it despite even his own players telling him to.

Did anyone other than Caruso play well for us today?

I love KCP but going 1/7 from 3pt land hurts ..... a lot of those were wide open.

AD has to play the 5 for at least 35 of the 48 minutes.

He also can’t be Bambi version of AD.

If we don’t get dominant AD and specifically at the 5, Lakers will lose this series.

My thoughts exactly. Can't wait for DB's game cap.

More on AD than Vogel. AD was passive and got dominated by Ayton.

Pretty frustrating game. Seems like there will need to be some identity and rotation changes if we hope to advance.

Can’t rely on history to keep repeating itself like it’ll be all good in game 2.

Too often today we forced a 3 early in the clock instead of setting up a better look. There needs to be adjustments for next game.

This game was actually there for the taking today and all it would’ve took was better execution offensively and probably a bit more effort on the glass.

Obviously players were frustrated. They’re sub in and out without purpose. We need to shorter the rotation and build a rhythm, coach Vogel

Biggest change I would make is DS coming off the bench, whether he wants it or not. That's not his call to make.

Caruso is great, but he really provides no consistent punch. We still need someone that can score off the bench.

Our starting lineup should be LBJ-AD-KCP-Caruso-Gasol, period.

Also, I'd find some time for Kieff.

I think Davis will bounce back next game but we can see why Harrell was not a high priority signing for the Flippers. Gotta try Gasol.
Really wish we we signed someone like Batum who can guard guys like Booker and hit some shots. KCP is not a great defender and Matthews is not consistent on offense

Stop blaming other for AD's ineptitude, he is soft and out of shape. End of story.

Would love to see Gasol on Ayton for a little bit. Maybe even just for the first 4 or 5 minutes of the game to see what its like. Put a body on Ayton and block him out a bit better

We got guys that supposedly are younger and better scorers only to have a much slower pace and struggle more on offense
