Well at least it looks like Kyle wont be starting at the 4 anymore, thats something, maybe if Frye keeps struggling we could see a run n gun lineup with Harris at the 4 and marble at the 3.

JV manages our players so horribly bad. Totally inept coach.

They didn't watch the game. This game isn't even close without Oladipo's aggressiveness tonight.

exactly.. and he started like 2-12 and did pretty well.. didnt hit his last 4 ish shots though, sadly

It's astonishing how we got badly outrebounded by the Lakers, yet we are outrebounding the Trailblazers, the best rebounding team in the NBA; 49-41.

Dipo was very poor down the stretch. He just should not act like he can do it on his own.

Heh. It always seems like the same things always creep up in close losses where we actually play well. Like Elf not playing the point down the stretch.

3-20 from the 3 point line. You can't win games like this. We need scoring BADLY from the draft.

Oladipo's aggressiveness is the main reason why we're in every game the past month. He really sets a tone in the game and he will start to get more calls his way soon.

Not worried about Marble not playing. He's earned playing time now.

Ben and Frye make 12 million dollars combined and the game has slowed down. At some point you have to put them on the court and ask them to make the shots you're paying them for.

Yeah, Dipo was great tonight! He's just not there as a shooter to completely win us close games like this, but that's fine. Still, he played really well, especially defensively.

this would be a "good loss" if we actually won like 4-5 of those games we should've earlier in the season.. would be easier to swallow

What the **** is this PROCESS everyone talks about

Playing young guys when they are having a good game sounds like a good process to me

This X 1000

Good game and effort but it's still fire Jacque Vaughn.

jacque is gonna be like "i started him... what else do you want?"

That shows you the effort just isn't there most nights. They actually played hard tonight.

Well, Vucci beasted and they didn't lay down tonight so i'm glad for that. I was entertained.

on the second night of a b2b, too.

We cannot suffer this fool anymore. Vaughn has got to be gone.

Stat of the game: 3-20 from 3
