Well they have the refs...

He should face the bench really soon, bring in AC or Kuzma

So should McGee the clown, never gets offensive boards

If he gets hot he'll give a ton of room for LeBron and AD to operate. He can also swing a game that might be in an important series. You can't give up on him because he's the best shooter on the team and on reputation alone it only takes a few hits for the defense to be scared.

I can't give up on him from the rotation because our shooting is a joke

But I am losing hope on starting him

Maybe he needs a shakeup?

Maybe better off starting Kuz or AC

For anyone suggesting benching Danny Green, this is why you don't. He's the only guy that has legit 2-way impact outside of LBJ & AD. This is the same guy that held the record for 3pt'ers in a Finals series. He's gonna have to have some big games at some point if LAL is going to have a chance at the title. Might as well try to shoot thru any cold stretch now than later.

What is JaVale providing? What is the reason for giving him any minutes

Good to see this starting lineup that's doing so well is still intact.

MisterHibachi · Post #986 » by **MisterHibachi** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:55 am

I've been a fan of Vogel this year, but giving McGee minutes at this point is inexcusable.

Joao Saraiva · Post #987 » by **Joao Saraiva** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:56 am

KCP has to out soon, soon. Caruso or Kuzma in.

MisterHibachi · Post #988 » by **MisterHibachi** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:56 am

DG has no confidence in his shot right now. He has to take that 3.

He clearly wants a C with AD. Dwight just fouled too much.

Vogel is spotting them points with this lineup.

Joao Saraiva · Post #991 » by **Joao Saraiva** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:58 am

And let's be honest. McGee on the defensive end has done a good job so far.

Not gonna lie man did you see the speed he had rotating over to help AD when Nurk had him buried? You never see a big man move like that. He's got energy. It'll pay off

Impossible for Bron to score with this lineup.

Exactly.

Wow. LBJ is just putting up a stupid good show with his passing. Gotta love it.

Honestly man as long as the Lakers keep it within a 2-3 possession game, once they play the Trump card with AD at the 5 it's gonna be night night for the Blazers down the stretch this series. Dame might be able to wrestle one or 2 games away down the stretch but not 4

It needs to be the default lineup and not a trump card.

I wanna see him get minutes when in the Dwight spot when AD is sitting. He's not providing much value in the starting lineup.

Stop bailing them out and sending them to the line jesus. Force them to make those off balance shots.

Not in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs my guy. We got a long road ahead of us. Let's not forget how much a teams identity evolves when it gets forged in the fire. That's my favorite part about watching first time champ playoff runs

Love Morris' help defense on the perimeter. Dudes really canny about stunting at guys who are wide open just to make em hesitate a split second for his man to recover.
