This L is on Luke.

He has to realize that the team is still really young and benching them in the clutch can be educational.

Lonzo and Randle should have been benched

Randle would have been good defensively for the last few minutes. Lou just straight dribbled pass Nance for the easy layup. He doesn't have the speed to keep up with perimeter players. That's why his defense has always been overrated to me.

He would have been but dude hurt us on offense, that was a horrible 3 by him..and Zo as well. I have no idea why Kuzma was not in when we needed offense.

Luke is a solid coach but his rotations are some of the worst in the NBA, sadly I think we will need to make some trades so we have less playable guys so this dude can have a 9 man rotation instead of 15:scust:.

Also Brook Lopez is a straight up bum, this guy is supposed to be a 20 point scorer, he cant even get 10:francis:.

I wanted Kuzma and Clarkson from way earlier. I don't know why Luke kept those two on the bench other than favoritism with Lonzo and especially Nance.

that wasn't him being slow, that was bad d. Lou was doing that all game, including when randle was out there.

Y'all think maybe Nance and a 2nd could get us Oak?
Why the hell would we offer all that? lol. Oakafor is not even worth 2nd round. If Lakers want to get him next year or sign him after buyout..sure. Lakers need to start packaging Deng, Randle, Nance, Lopez + Picks and hope someone takes it

When Randle was guarding Lou? I don't remember much of that. He got layups when Randle was the help defender though.

A 2nd alone can probably get him but all we have this year is a second round pick if i remember correctly. Considering how good we pick later in the draft I wouldn't give that up for him. He won't help this team anyway and we already have too many marginal bigs.
