He will never go away from that line up until 1 or both of them are traded. Russ or Pat.

In seperate note, I don't like how Wenyan is not getting no more time. One of your best rebounder amd hustlers and you have completely benched him. Not a good coaching decision

Their season or career average were not 0%. I don't blame them for some random off nights.

I want no more 3 guards line up and Gabriel should be given minutes. The team roster is more flexible than a stubborn 1 big 4 out line up. Thomas Bryant can shoot. Rui can shoot. Your spacing will not be sacrificed to play them with AD or Gabriel.

Putting AD on the 4 will allow you to better guard the big wings like Tatum.

Celtics had way too many wide open 3 opportunities.

The lack of calls for LeBron this year has been mystifying. Last night was complete s**t.

I’m still pissed.

The lack of calls on LBJ reminds me of the Shaq years.

It was egregious. Opponents would literally hit him on the arm and bump his body on just about every play, but the refs would just let it go mostly.

That no call on LBJ at the end of regulation was shameful. He is in for a layup , gets hacked, and they let it go.

What a joke.

Now they’re gonna give Lebron the proper calls in a game that’s meaningless and not close enough to be decided by refs.

Why is it that Russell Westbrook is always healthy, why doesn’t he go vacation with his family or some

Gonna need some big pep talk to get them in track. They either take this as motivation and make a big run, or they fall apart. The rest of this road trip will be an indicator. So many close games with awful calls, I don’t if I’d have it in me to keep battling.

Not sure what Ham was thinking..

In theory a 3 guard lineup enables your team to cover the perimeter better and equally important is they mask their glaring weakness of executing their less impressive half court sets by playing a very fast paced tempo. They have been victimized by bad officiating but pace slows down in the 4th quarter and they usually crumble because of this. Last night would have been over if Bev didn’t hit that 3 pointer and that put back slam at the same time Jaylen missing a wide open 3. AD taking a low% 3 late in the game, really?

But it's not just random off nights. Most of these guys would go 0-3 most nights then once or twice a week, they'll go 3 of 3. Schroder, Rui, Russ are not really consistently good 3pt shooters, they are more like streaky. Dennis was hot 2 straight games then go cold for 5 straight games.
