Game 68: Los Angeles Lakers (31-37) @ Detroit Pistons (34-33)

[The Moose]

Wtf happened to our players though, the last 2 games and tonight no one on this team can make anything at all..

law of averages, they were shooting like the best team in the league for a 2 week stretch (they're not).
Was always going to happen, but it just need means we need Blake to step up again like he was early in the season

[cace]

why do our FTs suck so much? we are shooting less than 50%!

[DETermination]

Good finish to the quarter

Our 2 best players are bad FT shooters

[DETermination]

Won't lie I enjoy watching KCP brick every shot he takes

[Laimbeer]

Ingram looks 50.

[pistonsbball]

Lol Rondo trying to pad the assist number

[detroitKG]

We were like the second best shooting team during that stretch too I believe. It was an anomaly, there was no way that was going to be sustainable. Freaking Galloway looking like prime Ray Allen? Nah.

[Dutch Michigan]

No kidding, 8 for 10.

[DetroitPistons]

We went from everyone being hot at the same time to almost everyone being ice cold. Hopefully we break out of this slump. We actually shot really well from 3 but couldn't hit anything inside the arc.

[Uncle Mxy]

We beat a team we were supposed to beat. I'm glad LeBron didn't grace us with his game-time presence.

This is where Casey's almost complete inability to make adjustments and the roster's lack of versatility rears its ugly head. We start playing well. Teams scout what we are doing and adjust their game plan. A couple teams throw a 3-2 match up zone at us and we go from executing well and shooting great to looking clueless and inept while getting blown out badly. If the Lakers weren't without damn near their entire team we probably lose our 3rd in a row tonight. Casey needs to get his act together. There is no excuse for teams throwing one little wrinkle at us defensively and everything going to ****.

Why isn’t Leur playing? We’re getting nothing from zaza except 2 offensive fouls per game on moving screens.

With all the resources of a modern NBA organization, it’s hard to just blame one person.

I guess Casey did assemble his staff so it falls on him but it’s hard to believe how different this team has looked during this uninspired 3 game stretch.

Part of the reason why is Blake has fallen off the cliff in these last 3 or 4 games. If he really is injured, then the coaching staff needs to pull the Kawhi treatment and give him some "load management" days.

We can only go so far with the ol' RJ and Dre PnR.
