We had 7 TOVs in that quarter and shoting 11% from the 3. Think those might be better areas of focus.

Are you even watching the game?

And I am not saying Gasol is the ONLY problem. But he is a huge part of the problem on why we are having this slow start and why there is always a free pass to the paint whenever he is in there.
Nevermind dude.. I just don't get the incredible hate for minimum vets. Let's hope for a turn around now.

I don't hate him, neither. Can never hate a Gasol. I just thought we are doing better with him on the bench.

Let's win this game. :nod:

Schroder is terrible passing in traffic

Marc's running around in the paint wid open, calling for the ball and they're actively looking him off for what ends up being a contested KCP corner three?

We started doing better when we went from 34% FG to 61% for the remaining 1.5 qtrs, cutting down to 5 TOVs in 1.5 qtrs from 7 in the 1st, AD shooting 11/13 after starting 0/5. But sure Gasol did it all.

BTW, Gasol is currently - 11 for the game, the same or better than all starters.

Is it wrong that I'm enjoying these comebacks too much to stop complaining about the lackadaisical starts anymore.. lol

What do you guys think about how Vogel splits time with Matthews and THT? More minutes for matthews tonight and minimum time for THT.

I'd prefer a 10 man rotation with Matthews getting at least 15 minutes a game and avoiding DNPs. Can take some time from KCP, caruso and THT to fit him in...and can always give more minutes for favorable matchups and the hotter hand.

Been loving Kuz's effort and activity in regard to his rebounding as of late :rock:

Wow Kyle Kuzma!

I’m pretty sure Cook leads the league in running out the clock at the end of the game.

Kuz rebound superstar

Kuzma putting together a nice string of good games.

Thats our MO. Late game comebacks

The Lakers can as well show up in the 2nd half for the next game.

Good to see AD back and running and Kuz with a great game.

Kuzma has been a very complimentary player all season long, filling gaps and holes that our team needs. He gives us consistent effort on those offensive rebounds, which has definitely increased this season, as well as turning into a reliable 3pt shooter at 37% and just overall smarter plays. I'm bound to switch my mind on him 10 more times in the course of the season and playoffs, but this has been sort of what my general consensus is on his performance thus far. AD also finally showed up and played aggressively. Not sure if that injury was bogging him all season long or he just decided to put his big boy pants on and say f it and look for his shots. LeBron being the frontrunner of the MVP race is kind of spectacular in season 18.

I see you and raise you on changing my mind about him 20 more times this season.. lol

Well, this is the first time he's ever put together 4 straight games without any goof ups, and the effort has been up all season. Glad to see it getting rewarded.

Dillon Brooks talks more **** than he has any right to do.

Grayson Allen too apparently, because he and LeBron were jawing at one another when LeBron was setting up to take some freethrows, and then then next dozen or so plays LeBron went HAM... No idea what he said, but I hope they recorded it.
