Rich paul running his mouth and the free throw gate really killed the momentum, for now.

Luka has been off his game. Bron trying to do too much while doing nothing impactful, terrible rotations from jj :francis:

It will probably get better down the line but as of now its a sh!tshow


divisive comments made for sure. And it’s especially bad because Rich Paul has always been Bron’s mouthpiece he isn’t going to be out there saying anything that Bron isn’t already trying to convey. But he wasn’t all the way wrong either. However AR is dropping 27 a game he doesnt belong on the bench. But this team is not even close to being a contender. They can’t match up against any team with any kind of length or athleticism. Their 3 best players all get exploited and they will definitely get boomed in the first round again at this rate

We're 11-5 without Bron this season
We're 8-5 with him. 6-1 before the podcast, 2-4 after.

:unimpressed:

You cant put it all on Bron. What KD was doing to Luka yesterday is why this team can’t go anywhere. Luka is a horrific defender and needs a team of athletes surrounding him to compete. Ar is a below average to solid defender but athletes bother him on both ends of the court so a Luka/AR led team wasn’t about to do anything against the top teams. Bron is definitely not the impactful player used to be but the real problem is Luka and him have utterly no chemistry. Luka doesn’t even move when Bron has the ball and Bron is totally disengaged when Luka has it. They don’t play off each other at all. So they both don’t have what they need out there and it’s diminished the team

What two game stretch? The ones he didn't play? Breh tried to claim Lakers went on a 7 game streak on his return and I instantly knew it was bullshyt cause he came back for the Jazz back to back. Y'all angry cause I actually watch and know what's happening pretty much every game :dead:

This is a coaching issue more than anything imo.

Luka playing luka ball is getting stale and repetitive.
Same with Bron. When they pound the ball for 20 seconds or more the other dudes in the lineup stay passive and just wait for something to happen.
No agression either.

All this boring/predictable bullshyt starts with the top.

Luka should be the main ball handler/primary option, AR (when healthy) the second and bron should pick up his spots, play off both luka and ar and assert more energy on defense when they need him to.

That should be the pecking order. Not sure JJ has the courage to make these nikkas follow suit tho
