Beyond bad coaching! LeBron was gassed for whatever reason, but he made some really bad choices not driving to the hoop and taking way too long on the last play. We missed too many shots when we were ahead, bad shots as well. Sometimes when guys like THT are hot, ya gotta go that direction. That actual shot the hurt the most was Reaves open 3 miss. But he gave us energy and might as well play him and leave Arisa on the bench. “that’s just the way it is, baby.”
Vogel is a loss!

I’ve come to the conclusion that Frank Voge must go.
We cannot have a coach who won’t play the right players.
It’s that freakin’ simple, man. So much wasted time.
Spot on DJ. Between Jordan and Ariza now I don’t understand what Frank is doing sometimes. I don’t have the Bradley bias some do but I was against DeAndre Jordan getting any kind of meaningful role before camp. The fact is that the Lakers need to make Reaves and THT look as valuable as possible in order to have some something to manufacture a deal for Russ this summer. Hard for me to see both on the team next season. Reaves is cheap, almost like getting a late 1st rounder but with some seasoning. THT…is THT, I see him topping out as solid role-player, maybe a potential 6th man of the year in 3 or 4 seasons after he’s had a lot more time to work on his game. We can’t wait for that, we need impact guys who show up every game, all season long. THT hasn’t shown he can be that guy, yet.
Anyhow, between his weird coaching this season (likely stemming from fear he’s about to get fired every other day), his inability to get more out of what is admittedly a pretty terrible roster and the no defense from a defensive coach I expect to see someone else on the job next season.
Frank is gone. The only question is when.
