2021-2022 NBA Season

[Iggloo]

I seriously forgot Carmelo was still in the league.

Thybulle on defense

About as accurate as your other posts here

Should be the one saying this? Nope

 

[WiggyRuss]

I love how wrong you are about Wiggins.

But I do acknowledge Booker deserves it more than him. It's an exhibition that no one even watches anymore so whatever.

West guards that no-doubt deserve it more than Wiggins:

Morant
Edwards
SGA
Mitchell
Curry
Booker
CP3
Fox
Luka
Ingram
Murray
Bane

many more arguable. Wiggins shouldnt even sniff being an al lstar- let alone a starter

Yikes.
Fans in Philly getting tossed.

I can’t wait to hear what dude was saying to get Melo so fired up.

Wiggins isn't a guard. He's a SF. Yes there are many that deserve it more than him (on this list above Morant is already in, and some of them are not better than Wiggins...but again, he's not a guard)...and they will get in as reserves. The fans voted him in, deal with it.

It was likely a bunch of Filipinos who have been riding the Warriors nuts for the last bunch of years

Yeah....me too.
It looked like there were 2 or 3 Sixers fans "escorted" out of the arena.
I bet one of them said something derogatory about Lala.

Are you kidding? Do you like the Russ and THT on the floor at the same time? Rondo/Russ early on? THT/Lebron? Why is Vogel putting another ball dominate player in the same lineups as Russ or Lebron? It's enough that Russ and Lebron have to learn to share now you are throwing in a THT or Rondo early on so Lebron and Russ have to sacrifice more touches. Not to mention AD who needs a good amount of touches.

Are you? You can't play guys who aren't there. A lot of those were because of the options he had available. Blaming the coach when all of that is going on is just lazy.

And lol at you mentioning AD...how many touches is he supposed to get when he's missing nearly half the games that have been played. That was all there really is to say because the rest of what you wrote in that paragraph makes no sense.

Then Vogel overuses small ball and doesn't utilize Dwight enough. He'd rather run Lebron into the ground than use Dwight. Vogel uses Melo at the 5 too and gets us killed on defense.

Do you actually watch games? Dwight hasn't played well. That's why he's not playing. Vogel having to put Lebron and Melo at the 5 says a helluva lot more about how Dwight and DJ have played than it does Vogel's coaching. I mean, do you honestly think they went into the season planning on playing Lebron or Melo at the 5?

As wildturkey said he doesn't use Monk with Lebron enough and sits him on the bench too long when he's cooking.

Really starting to think you don't watch games. Malik Monk has averaged over 26 minutes per game this year and nearly 30 minutes per game over the last 10. His career average was 19 minutes per game prior this season with the Lakers. Additionally, he has started 11 games this year after having started 1 game his entire career.

Vogel also insists on dragging the corpse of Ariza on the floor to start games instead of Stanley.

Ariza has started 6 games. Stanley Johnson has been with the team 14 games and has started 6 games.

I know Reaves is a rookie but there is no reason he can't play at least 28 minutes per game.

Reaves is playing 21 minutes per game. That's plenty for him, especially with Avery Bradley playing pretty well and hitting 39% from 3.

It also took Vogel too long to realize Bazemore wasn't going to be solid contributor.

No he didn't. He hasn't used Bazemore in 22 of the Lakers games and hasn't given him significant minutes since about 15 games in. Most of his minutes were the result of lacking healthy players.

I'm not saying that this isn't a flawed roster but Vogel certainly isn't making the most out of a bad situation. Look at the Clippers they are missing PG and Kawhi but Lue has got them competing.

The Clippers have a roster that actually fits. The Lakers do not and Vogel didn't put the roster together. Also, the Clippers are at .500 just like the Lakers.

And you still haven't shared with us exactly what rotation it is that you think Vogel was supposed to be using all this time.

 

[trojanfan12]

So it’s obviously a total joke

It's why the all star game needs to strictly be a fan vote.

 

[Iggloo]

I would not trade Maxey and Thybulle no matter what.

it was in the frontcourt category he was voted in? LOL. wtf

what a joke.

Um, yes. Because he's a front court player.

The Vogel hate is insane and mostly unwarranted.

Let's just keep it real. 18 points 4 rebounds 2 assists is a solid 3rd player on a good team. Wiggins should not be sniffing the all star game. And if you are going to say it's just a popularity contest, then we need to stop using x- number all star appearances as a stat to judge how great a player is. Plain and simple.

Lotta truth to this, yes.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Why is Beasley playing?

 

[msgkings322]

With the emergence of Edwards this Twolves team is starting to look interesting. Pretty good group.
