Uhh what?

He is pretty good with that stuff. Kieff just shot that one early, luckily AD got it back

Refs are a joke to not call a foul on Trent Jr there for reaching in

Trent is picking him up full court and he can't seem to do anything about it

That was inexcusable for LBJ to not get back on D there. Wide open 3 for Portland.

Not sure what you're talking about? They didn't get a 2-for-1 - Portland had the last shot. There was time to take a quick transition 3 after LeBron got the steal around the 0:35 mark and they would've had 1 extra possession. He slowed it down instead and they only got 1 possession from that point.

Also, he needs to be killed to get a call

Lebron’s finishing at the rim is a little concerning. He looks like November Lebron.

Can't dribble in the bubble

Lebron needs to keep posting, throw elbows, refs letting you play

He needs to just post and bully

Respect to Dwight setting backcourt screens Bron getting straight to the Baja

Wellll at least the tip ins are going in.

They really only needed 1 thing to go right out of the tip ins, 3 point shooting, transition they did ok last game to be winning.

Vogel what the **** is lineup.

Caruso, JR, Green, Morris, Dwight?????

5 guys who can’t create anything for themselves?

I’d be gagging if that was Rondo was out there. This is wayyyy worse than that.

Mos_Heat · Post #1252 » by **Mos_Heat** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:49 am

Their whole team looks heavy

thebigbird · Post #1253 » by **thebigbird** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:50 am

Vogel really needs to go. These lineups are atrocious. Why hasn’t philly cheese played after playing so much in the 8 games? He is in way over his head.

Playing with his job...

Needs Dion out there or dump AD in rn

This game is a MUST WIN

Lebron blew 2 good layup looks...concerning

The 2 bigs throwing him off a bit, and there is little space, no respect for out shooting

MisterHibachi · Post #1255 » by **MisterHibachi** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:51 am

What is this lineup??? Caruso is the only ball handler and he can barely dribble. All three of Kuz LeBron AD on the bench at the same time? While Lillard is on the floor? Is Vogel insane.

If any of the Lakers tried to body up Lillard in the back court like that they would be on the bench in foul trouble. Against LeBron defenders can literally get away with anything (reach in, dislodge, whatever)

Well at least some one on the bench realized it and called timeout to get AD in there.

Tbh it’s always been bad strategy. One back court screen (which Dwight did give Lebron) and you have Lebron with a head of steam coming at you and usually a wide open 3 or layup.

These rotations are so weird.

thebigbird · Post #1260 » by **thebigbird** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:58 am

Officiating is so one sided. Lebron has to get pistol whipped to get a call and even then it’s not guaranteed.
