Nope. I didn't like the way he handled the star players or his rotations. I'm 96 percent sold on him watching the preseason. He has a job in front of him. He has a problem most coaches would die for, he's overloaded. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

The offense was disgusting tonight with Gasol and KCP/Kieff spacing plus two days of practice. I'm just loving Vogel and his staff prepping the team this well without its two stars and several other regular rotation players. _________________ Under New Management |

It’s preseason and all but our 20yr old 2nd round pick just carved up the Clippers so why not a mini QFTOS? I don’t see the harm.

Quote: | Regardless of it being preseason, it's annoying watching a team that just won a championship without their stars playing outwork a supposedly hungry team that has a lot to prove. Yes it's preseason, and yes the Clippers are working in a lot of new bodies, sets, and coaching staff. The work doesn't depend on any of that though.
It's early and the culture can still be developed, but if I hear any mention of streetlights this season, I'm goin to lose my (bleep). |

Or Byron Scott's
(We would have hired Tyronne Lue if he had accepted our offer and we would still be suffering from the former Lakers coaching stigma atm)

I really liked Gasol with Kuzma and THT. Both are slashers and Gasol is a master passer. _________________ Darvin Ham is an idiot! |

Add KCP to that. Heck, Marc made everyone a slasher. At one point everyone was standing around. Then Marc got the ball at the top of the 3 point line when all of a sudden everyone started slashing. 😂😂 |

I'm just going to say it. We didn't get much better this offseason. We got much much much better. Look at how we played tonight, and consider that we had a legitimate top 5 NBA starting 5 sitting out (LBJ, AD, DS, AC, and WM). If we can win the battle for health, we'll be near impossible to beat on a regular basis. Rob has done an incredible job and we should be in for quite the treat this year. |

This kinda makes me think that perhaps Trezz should start. The chemistry Marc can build with the second unit would be amazing if he's allowed to orchestrate to offense with Kuz, Caruso, Matthews/KCP and Morris. All of them can shoot and the cuts for Kuz, Caruso and Matthews/KCP would be awesome. |

I watched the whole game, a bit delayed, then re-wound and watched again.
THT - Wholly crap. He had a decent night last night that looked like a hot night for a rookie in preseason. Tonight? Wow. He carved up Clipper starters and bench alike, dominated them all game long. I hope this translates to regular season because wow
Love Marc Gasol's passing!!!
Kuz and KCP played well too.
Really good to see this out of the gates in preseason. |

Our second team and back-ups would be a decent NBA team! We are basically 13 players deep!
Kyle Kuzma
Markieff Morris
Marc Gasol
KCP
THT
Quinn Cook
Jared Dudley
Montrezl Harrell
Alex Caruso
Dennis Schroder
Wesley Matthews
Anthony Davis
LeBron James
If Alfonzo McKinnie, Devontae Cacok or Kostas Antetokounmpo can provide anything, at all, a repeat and #18 are highly possible (barring the unforeseen).
GO LAKERS!
