Literally everybody knew shooting was gonna be a weakness. It's why we all wanted Brooke back.
And in fairness, Hart has struggled so much, I expected him to be one of our better shooters. His struggles have hurt as much as anyone's.

Pretty much every projection right now has the 7 & 8 seed at 44-46. Unfortunately we're at 41 right now.

I’d love to bring him onboard but Ingram is too much. Even our 1st rounder is looking like it’ll be mid-round not sure I’d give that up for him either.
He’d be really good playing off Lebron and Lonzo
KCP and McGee/Zubac id do it

Rondo had 13 assists and we still got worked and he was our best 3pt shooter.
32 second chance points is terrible to give up.
Tale as old as time.... Rotations...
Is chandler hurt?

I was saying this early on, those losses are going to hurt. However so many people were like oh it is just one game, like the Lakers are GS and can just turn it on because Lebron is there. You need to get as many wins as possible early, before teams start gelling. I bet those Knicks and Cavs losses will really be great in April when we looking at first round GS or no playoffs.
"The Kang" was looking real subdued watching the game last night. I was watching up until halftime and was like good Rondo is running the offense everyone is clicking, Kuzma was starting to heat up. Oh we good, check the score this morning and.

I don't get to many chances to watch games when I'm on my ship.
Last night the game was on and of course I'm geared up and I'm watching.
That 3rd and 4th qtr were a disaster. So many second chances points. If we could have grabbed a few rebounds here and there it could have been different. But another winnable game. That has to be at least 10 to 12 games that we just broke down in the 4th. With and without Bron.

This what I am talking about that LeBron fans overlook, we have had winnable games with LeBron. They need to get over this he is Superman and we been just floundering this entire season without him. I expect them to play better when he gets back but if the season so far is any indication we are going to loose winnable games even when he comes back. Add those up and we might be on the outside looking in on the playoffs.

Agreed.
I will say this. Playing with Lebron is very different. It's easy to give him the ball and just watch. We have to adjust to that when he gets back.
In last nights game there were multiple times last night where Rondo would have the ball and everyone would stand still. No player movement and I just couldn't understand why.
I hate injuries and this year the injury bug has bit us hard.

Gif probably taken with Lakers down 20, dude shows no emotion or fire.
Very disappointing, team seems to be regressing that fast without a PG. The team got comfortable that fast with ISO ball and creating their own shot since Ball left. I was hoping the guys would revert back to moving the ball as soon as Rondo came back.

Lebron isn’t gonna be 30/8/8 his first game back. He’s gonna need to get his rhythm back.
On top of that, the way he plays and the force he puts on his body, he is bound to tweak his groin again.
Plus the tough schedule.
That’s why I think we’ll miss the playoffs.
8 straight Finals runs finally caught up with him. And he won’t be any younger next season

Speaking that truth, Lakers were sold a lemon. Guys DON'T become better all around players in year 15/16/17. Injuries are coming and will be in Lebron's future because of like you said the way he plays. His jumper improved but he still drives the lane and makes hard movements. Kind of reminds me of Bo Jackson in that aspect, he pushes his body so hard.
He won't be any younger and we paid new car prices for a used car.

Well I think most knew that he would eventually be hurt but the plan was to get another superstar with him so he doesn't have to do as much.
His useage numbers were at the lowest of his career this year.
Going to be an interesting summer to say the least. We can't strike out.

The way y'all can predict the future that Lebron is gonna be injury prone is amazing.
