i figured it couldnt be a grizzlies season without a turning point injury situation. got HOU again w cp3 without Conley after HOU already bodied us once in the run back. i hope his Achilles isnt torn we need him although, slick he been ass this yr, i could tell he was hurt. got selden green and mclemore back just in time, the bench needs to play big tyreke is low key 6th man of the yr this season… and Chalmers needs to calm the fuck down…dude scares me sometimes going for the “big play”…a few of his turnovers cost us gms this yr.
Sixers taking steps, GS is a better team so I’m not surprised they came back.
Brown has to do a better job managing the player rotations. At one point he had Covington, Simmons and Embid on the bench - literally not one playmaker on the floor.
Also, Reddick needs to be more consistent. Take some midrange jumpers if the 3 isn’t falling like Ray Allen used to do.
Saric needs to be more assertive and make his presence felt when he’s the main guy on the floor.
have you ever seen lonzo shoot when it was in the flow of the offense? if he has the ball in a scoring position, its almost like it was a mistake with the lakers offense. he isn’t aggressive, doesn’t look for his own shot, and doesn’t have plays run designed to get him to score. it’ll be difficult to be consistent if no one, including himself, wants him to score.
That’s part of his problem. He has no rhythm with anything. He could either go full scorer or full playmaker, but since he doesn’t seem to have a defined role, it’s made him indecisive and has made him less aggressive as a result.
It’s clear he’d rather be a playmaker at this point and let Ingram/Kuz/Lopez score. I’m sure the outside noise about his point production and expectations is playing a big part as well. He needs to just play his game.
Nice win by the Lakers, a lot of things have been going on about where the team is headed and Lonzo bust shenanigans. Another Triple Double should calm the haters down.
Next few games are just going to get harder. Luke needs to have these guys ready
