    Repeat, I never said Westy didn’t serve the last shot. I put team ahead of any individual. I thought there were better options, if nothing else don’t dribble the clock down with no 2nd shot possible. Again he missed, we lost.

    I am starting to think we may miss PO’s altogether, certainly not top 6 it would seem. : (

    More DNP's tomorrow.

    Ya’ll need to see what I say and don’t add what I didn’t say. Russ was GREAT bringing us back, never said he didn’t deserve that last shot, certainly earned that and I hope he can fit with the other two. I stick to my coaching would have drive or drive and kick and give us a chance at a put-back. We win, I was wrong, we didn’t I am right.

    • We’ll have A2D, Dave. Down 2 on the road, you go for 3. Down 2 at home, you go for the tie.

      • I’ve heard that many times, perhaps agree in most circumstances. If you think you’ll lose in OT, shoot the 3. If you think you can beat them in OT then try to get the best open shot you can.

    • When I saw him set his foot I knew he was going to take a low percentage three which is fine with me at that point. He was definitely feeling it but it also cost us the game. I don’t like going for those kinds of shots to end a game when all we needed was a high percentage two. I don’t care if it is LeBron or whoever it has to be a good shooter in the flow of the game to go for the winner in that situation. That would have capped an already magnificent night from Russ. I guess they were tired from the second night of a back-to-back on the road to go to overtime.

      • As usual my biggest problem at the end was the coaching staff. Two mistakes happened. First was letting half the time run off before fouling. But we almost had 10 seconds left. We don’t run plays so I don’t know why I expected us to this time. But there should have been some kind of action run. Maybe get Russ the ball while he moved and could have attacked or kicked out. Instead we did what we always do with LeBron. Have him dribble down to zero and shoot. Russ can hit 3’s when open and his feet are set. He’s under 25% off the dribble. The staff could have come up with something better.

        • “Instead we did what we always do with LeBron. Have him dribble down to zero and shoot.”

          That was exactly what I was anticipating at that moment, and it is not always a good strategy. You are correct. The coaching staff should have come up with something better. It was an opportunity that could have salvaged a victory from the jaws of defeat.

    • Some of us are more critical than others, and that makes for a lively atmosphere. I just am not qualified to question the professionals, so I defer to their knowledge and experience. Been pretty happy with the results over the decades.

      • Sometimes a player earns the right to take the last shot for Russ. Had I been coach or point guard of the Lakers, I would have called a play for Russ because he was the reason there was even a miniscule chance of winning this game. He deserved that last shot. Period.

    In saying we had Zero chance, we had a slim chance and lost. Last play was a bad decision. Go to the hoop Westy!

    I was wrong

    • DJ, it’s not just you alone. I think just about everyone was thinking the same way too. I agree with you on the last play. It would have made more sense if drove to the hoop or find someone else. In fact, Stanley was right there wide open. But at least they gave us a reason to be optimistic when everybody gets back.

    There’s your Reaves. Monk, THT, Bradley, Ellington and 17 TO’s. Westbrook, sorry to say, is hurting us in spite of his numbers. Charlotte beats us easy as well if no LBJ! Why do we keep thinking that any of these guys are any good? We got LBJ and AD and the rest couldn’t start for hardly any teams in the League.

    PATHETIC

    • I thought I was the only one who hated that unfair rule. That’s the worst kind of rule there ever is, having to pull down the curtain without the other team having the chance to respond. They need to change this rule for the integrity of the sport and fairness to all.

    • Whew, it’s a Win, but too many TO’s against a team that ain’t no good. AD ever coming back?

    • It occurs to me the same way too. It’s like when teams play the Lakers they can’t seem to miss from the three-point range. I have always struggled to understand that.

      You are right about the turnovers. Way too many, and most of them were unforced. Maybe it is due to the long flight and having the mind and body to adjust. But I will take the win. Any win at this point is a good win, no matter how, and no matter who.

    Nice win, not a great win, but a win! Johnson stepped up! Westy cannot shoot. Tired of Reaves getting the ball and fake and then move instead of just shooting the 3.

    • Yeah, Reaves gotta let it fly.

    • You made a good point about Reaves not shooting the ball when he is supposed to. But then again, he makes up for it by making plays that result in high percentage shots for others. That’s a nice trade-off but it would be much more beneficial if he learns how to find a balance between the two.

    Can we have him stop shooting, he ain’t no good at that. Wonder if we sat him down a game? Could we win without him? Hmmmm
