Have him run the bench ?


I would love to be in the room when Vogel asks Westbrook to come off the bench.


Imagine if Vogel asks Lebron to come off the bench. I would pay to be in that room.

I don't know what game you Laker fans were watching. You were horrible.

Our rebounding was trash I felt like they were sleeping walking most of it .. our rebounding needs to be better

We've been horrible all 4 games. Which makes the wins that more important. Missing a lot of players aswell.

Did everyone call Jokic soft too? Or is that just for AD

Definitely not for the MVP that literally did not miss a game last season and has never missed 10+ games in his 7 seasons.

Because he led a team with himself and a superstar against a team of scrubs (and was only +1 in his playing time) and barely won a close game?

The amount of hot takes never ceases to amaze.

You can't be serious. WB leads the league in TO's and is shooting about 10% from 3.

That one play was bad but he made clutch 3 for us. He got us nice rebound in OT . Our rebounds just sucks

Jokic is 24/6/6 at half time and the nuggets are still losing. MPJ is playing like a roleplayer, jerami grant, who I didn't even care we lost, was better. The bench has been dreadful, not just lacking talent but a bad lineup too. I don't see how just calling up a team of g-leaguers could be worse.

they never would've won that game without the strong Lakers contingent in SA, we appreciate that

by the way, you're also drawing conclusions from the fourth regular season game of a new team. the point isn't the result, it's the process

I don't think Vogel will care at all about the +/-, he will cut guys for bringing no effort on D unless they are excellent everywhere else

Literally 99% of this board, but unfortunately, none of us is an NBA Coach.

More of a rhetorical question. Just wanted to use this as an opportunity to push my point that Westbrook should come off the bench and run the second unit.

+- is incredibly volatile in a few games, take a look at his +- for the last few years

His defense is LAZY

I have watched it, seen slowed down tape, and read Cranjis' opinions as well on Twitter

How many times did they get an open dunk b/c of his poor screen navigation

Jokic literally owns Rudy. I can't remember the last time a 3x Dpoy got consistently annihilated by a matchup

The lakers are not good right now, so every wins wins are important, but I'm confident they'll be much better come January and after that when LBJ and Westbrook are used to playing together

And I like Vogel as head coach but this is stupid to have Rondo and Westbrook on the court at the same time too often....Yes it was maybe just 10 minutes in this game,but it was still way too much.This is one of the big reason why the game were close.

Monk will have a short leash once Ellington and Nunn return.
