We actually had great looks tonight but like we’ve done all series, bricks. Then there was over passing. Guys scared to shoot. Unbelievable we’re the defending champs. Too many shook guys out there. |
we are not hitting 3s. what is the point in keep looking for open looks.  |

Unfortunately Vogel has proven time and time again to be a bit stubborn with his rotations. Add that to his lack of in-game adjustments = no bueno! |
Vogel suck a in-game adjustments. He has a plan and he sticks with it. If the plan is not working he moves AD to 5 |
So true

If CP3 is hurt, the Lakers can still win this series. But I don't see how they can go much further than that unless AD is 100% |

Dude, you are against one of the hottest teams through out the regular season. Without a full force, don't expect to beat them when they are in full force too. AD contributed an average 30 plus points in the 2 wins. Any genius will not be surprised that without AD this team is struggling.

Good. Have some pride. No reason to just bend over for them. He was the only one in the 3rd to say I’m shooting with confidence. (Bleep) if I miss, I’m still gonna shoot. |

I hope they're miserable... in all honesty what an embarrasement. We'll see how they respond Thursday, it sure will tell us a lot about their character. Sure didn't look like true defending champs tonight |

Not so fast. Pelinka will have to answer for breaking up a championship team. This is on him. He’ll have to hope Bron and AD can salvage this series |

| See you all Thursday. Erase this from memory and move on. Hope AD can at least suit up and try to start. |

Because Ayton is on the other team and Kamisky hardly plays. |

great looks aren't just open shots....they are open shots by shooters who are successful at those spots on the floor. We don't get those consistently |

Pelinka deserves some credit and blame... but I think ultimately LBJ is the boss of the team. Jeanie is just a figure head. Klutch runs the show. I think LBJ ultimately must approve all moves. |

They have been inside the comfort zone with LBJ and AD on the team, and the comfort zone is created by our coach. So, he's they guy we should be looking at. Why don't we have a system that works without LBJ and AD but we have too much talent not to.
Having said that, we have new guys coming in this year and all the injuries that spoiled our chance to build chemistry, sort of putting our coach on a tough spot.
