Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

#exposed

I felt naked out there

really looked like we were all just trying not to get injured.

 

I blame Lufa Doughcic

 

Maybe it was a trap game but really felt the Lakers missed all three of Hayes (Len and the rest of the center was awful after Hayes went out till Koloko sort of stabilized thins), no DFS killed the Lakers ability to run small ball to get Kessler off the court, no POA defender with Gabe out.

Not a fan of the coaching in this one. Len getting his a** kicked possession after possession wasn't fun and Godwin got placed in the backburner for Shake minutes early so more bad defense. Felt like JJ wanted to experiment with the injuries and the experiments crapped the nex

 

Yeah. I also felt like JJ wanted to experiment a bit last night.

 

trotting len out there with him knowing nothing was a choice.

 

Seems like we need to decide whether Goodwin or Koloko are going to be converted from their two-way contracts. Goodwin has played well since we brought him on and we do need more defense in the backcourt, but we also might want to have Koloko on the playoff roster in case Len just sucks.

 

Goodwin is a no brainer for me.

 

Goodwin's the better player, but we can only convert one I think. And if Len really struggles (he gets a pass for last night, he just got here and the rest of the team just wanted to get to the All-Star break), it may be more important that we have Koloko as a fallback.

 

If one game is any indication at all: Len just sucks.

 

Not a big deal. We were missing three key rotation players with DFS, Gabe, and Hayes out and we missed them last night. It’s the last game before the All Star break. The Jazz are a young team and like most young teams they play much better at home.

It was only Luka’s second game with the team I missed half the game, but from what I saw he did have some issues defensively and with foul trouble. We know he’s not a great defender so it’s not a surprise, but we’ve already seen the kind of impact he can have on this offense. The vision Luka has is insane it’s probably unmatched in the league outside of his teammate LeBron James.

This is where having an extended All Star break will help this team get healthy. Alex Len should not be playing big minutes and he was forced into action due to Jaxon’s injury, but again there is a reason he was on the buy out market.

 

Also, we are a good home team but very average road team. We have lots of room to improve if we are to be a serious contender.

 

But how fabulous it was. NOT!!

 

Didn't catch the game and was disappointed to see the outcome, but also didn't realize DFS and Gabe were out. When we are missing players like that, it is probably not going to be a great time.

 

and only got 7 minutes from Hayes, forcing Lens to give us major minutes without any time to learn anything about our system.

 

Charlotte went on a 18-1 to run after AR got ejected. He’s far too important to what we do to get tossed from a game. He’s better than that.

 

Play-in team again, eh?
Whities need to step up, stop laying bricks ffs.
Also this Len guy... i've seen enough LOL

 

Charlotte scrubs hit a lot of shots they usually miss and Melo and wifebeater closed it out
