Luke needs to give these guys more defined roles.

1.) Kuzma has to start, especially with how passive Ingram can be to start games. Nance will be better with the faster pace of the bench with Clarkson. Nance needs to start taking some fukking jumpers too. He passes up way too many shots.
2.) Eight guys played between 20-29 minutes. There needs to be a few getting 30+ on a regular basis. Kuzma and Ingram are definitely two.
3.) They need to figure out what they're gonna do with Randle. He's playing great and his value has never been higher. Are they gonna commit to him long term? If so, they're gonna have a really expensive bench.

The season might be over as far as playoff hopes... we are possibly staring at a 10+ game losing streak. The next several games are:
Rockets
@Sixers
@Hornets (winnable)
@Knicks (winnable but they’ve played well at home)
@Cavs
Warriors
@Rockets
@Warriors

Alot of our losses are directly tied to trading DLO.

Clarkson/Randle/Kuz are playing great off the bench. Ingram has found his way.....we need another scorer especially if ZO is passive & not making shots.

We better pray PG slide through. If he does well def make the playoffs.

He had 2 to's meanwhile Zo and Ingram had 5 each. Luke just playing favorites
More than anything his favoritism when it comes to Nance is throwing the team off. Kuzma should be starting in that position. Nance is a decent glue guy but he ain't great enough at the little stuff and defense for him to be starting over Kuzma.

Well it's easier to replace Randle than it is to replace Ingram or Lonzo. Randle's replacement is Nance, Kuzma. Ingram's is Brewer? and Clarkson was out on court too.

I do agree that Luke needs to start sticking with a unit, all these changes in the last min ruins chemistry.
