No one showed up besides 35 in the second half

Durant is gassed but gave it his all. Can't fault him for that. This loss is on everyone else and especially Vogel's trash ass playcalling. Seems overrated to me and I don't care what he managed to pull off with the Lakers in the bubble.

Worst part about it is if Vogel kept KD to start the 4th and extended the lead I bet they would have sat LeBron after about 4 minutes. I don't get these guys sometimes.

Alright that probably seals the loss for us.

It's pretty disturbing that KD and bench players they can only squeeze out 7 points in an entire quarter. I would try to swap Little for a point guard.

1 v 5 basketball - you're bound to lose. I'll put this on horrible coaching in the 4th quarter

Still early boys, take a breather and come back tomorrow.

Welp. That was the worst 4th quarter I've ever seen.

Beal and Booker aren't playing. It makes a HUGE difference.

As deep as it seems the team is when some of these guys get extended minutes the warts start to show.

Vogel had a bottom 8 offense with James and Davis

Needs to run plays, there is no spreading of the defense unless it's a bailout pass

Meh, this was a loss before tip. The Lakers are actually complete ass, but really I’m just disappointed that our coaches appear to have designed no offensive sets.

Gordon is trash right now. Got far more minutes than he deserved for sure. Allen at least played hard. As for the lack of play with everyone else, looks like Vogel is just another Williams: Bench talent just sitting there watching instead of being given a chance to contribute.

Pretty much.

I'm also disappointed at how these other guys went from showing the dawg in them in the 1st half to too timid to even shoot the ball in the 2nd half.

Not denying that but KD + bench should be good enough to beat the Lakers. Besides Okogie and Goodwin our players rely too much on 3 pointers.

He’s channeling his inner Kelly Oubre shooting on every possession
