Gasol and Matthews forcing Vogel's hand lmao. I can't help but wonder how many of these losses-- (the Kings, Mavs X2, Raptors) would have had more favorable outcomes if you replace the net negatives with them.

Gasol has had Jokic in jail tonight.

If a game like this doesn't change Vogel's mind, I don't know what will.

Two high IQ, net positive players. McLemore hasn’t been awful, but if not hitting threes he chucks, he’s useless. Matthews+James+Kuzma had been the Lakers’ best trio for a good stretch with AD out.

Drummond back in just in time to blow the lead

Oh God, Drummond comes back and the first offensive possession is complete garbage.

This is going to be a bad loss. No idea why Vogel isn't going to AD at the 5 if Gasol is gassed. No reason for Drummond to be out there.

This is why my confusion about the Drummond thing is directed at Vogel. Why even bring him back to the game? That was criminal. He cant guard Jokic especially in the clutch and Gasol's passing was also needed on offense. They should have just kept Damian Jones if it would have avoided politics

Any offense is bound to struggle in the clutch without its only 2 creators on perimeter (LeBron and Schroder). What a W it will be if they hold on here.

Not sure why Jokic got free throws there. Vogel should've challenged.

No way this team gets a good shot with only 8 seconds left, and Jokic is for sure going to score to win the game.

So this guy, who attempts wild backwards flip shots in crunch time, was not traded for Kyle Lowry?
