Absolutely.
A lot of Pat Bevz foolishness didn’t occur in the game we beat the Clippers last season.
It was also the return of Lebron from His groin injury but Rondo was huge against Beverly and Lou Will |

our bench is awful.. Kuzma helps but it's nowhere near the kind of bench that can outplay other benches |

Vogel’s decisions during the game were troubling. The challenge. The rotations. He needs to get it figured out. |

Lebron had a terrible game but this KCP should not be even playing more than 15 minutes as terrible as he was |
Why play him at all? We have other guys. |
He's the only player who would make me kill to have Tony Smith in his place. |

Remember when he had 2 cokk-back dunks in the 1st game last year. That seems like eons ago. He has looked like Ground Brawn up to this point. Maybe too heavy. |
I agree. LeBron needs to play a lot better for us to win this season, the Clippers didn't even have George and seemed confident they could just turn it on as needed and beat us. |
Clippers are starting the season with a higher floor. Their rotations are pretty much set based on what they brought back from last season. Just replace SGA with Kawhi and Gallo with PG13 and everything else stays the same.
Our team still has to figure out its rotations. Vogel's rotations were bad tonight. Hopefully he can fine tune it a bit each game. Less KCP and maybe a little more Rondo when Lebron sits. I've said all offseason that Rondo should run the 2nd unit. He gets guys easy buckets. |

DG kept us in the game.. then Vogel took him out.. that was terrible move.
our "shooters" couldn't shoot.
is Troy daniels a legit NBA player? he looked awful.
also.. our defense let them shoot 51%.
i would have had dwight in there way more than mcgee.. DH was more effective.. mcgee did nothing. |
Pretty accurate. Everyone outside DG shot really bad.
McGee had some embarrassing moments against the guy he wanted traded, Zubac. |

James is a ball-dominator. He will always play that way. He needs another guy who he can simply give it to and they can create their own shot. David will averase a lot of points, but he isn't that guy.
James is a point guard. He's just more Westbrook than Magic. Pelinka erred in not signing a creative combo guard to play alongside Davis and James. Rondo and Cook were no visionary moves, imo. |
who you thinking combo guard? |

There were too many stretches on the floor when LeBron and ad were the only ones touching the ball....there wasn't much offensive balance |

The Clippers are known as having one of the best benches in the league. With Kuzma added our bench should average 30-40 points per night. We should be able to keep pace with most benches. |

Yeah and we’ll have the full MLE. praying LeBron can still be a top 7 player for the next 2 years because if he can, next year is our real shot imo. Think we’re maxed out as a conference finals team with the roster in its current state. |

Over this one already.
Clippers are the same team from last season and added Kawhi Finals MVP.
We will build some major chemistry and get better
At home Jazz, Hornets, and Grizzlies
On the road Mavs, Spurs, and Bulls
Back at home Raptors and Heat
Back on the road against the Suns, Warriors, and Kings.
Hawks and Thunder back home.
We got a chance to build some serious momentum |

KCP was depressing. I love seeing the wide open threes going down for the Lakers through much of the game. Such a difference from the last few years. I hate to say it, but we missed Rondo tonight. Could have used crafty Rondo to lighten the PG load for Lebron. Green...green may become a fan favorite, I loved that third quarter. The offense became stagnant after Bron and AD were on the bench at the end of the first. |

I think we can groom Cook to be that guy...his shot is good...he can get it off anytime...we just work on his decision making. It seems like everyone but Danny green was very deferential to LeBron Tonite. |
