It depends who he has around him. On a great defensive team like the Thunder his weaknesses really stood out.

Positive on/off last year which for a good to great team is important.

Not off to a great start in that aspect this year though

I get that he was "hunted" some in big games because OKC didn't have another "weak" link.

Lakers were 28/33 from the free throw line--- the Cavs 5 of 8 and the Cavs win by 24.....dont see that every day.

How many more posts can you have complaining about a blowout victory? Talk about victim mentality...

Just waiting for that league to get going. First game is still a week out I believe?

True. I think that the Lakers having a game in Cleveland probably has a lot to with why he's on the trip too. Otherwise, he's probably already in the G-League to get some practice time in.

Sure, and he was able to get his first points there. If it was to happen on a road game, good spot.

You seem angry. Miserable, even.

Well, do you expect fouls on wide open shots?
Reminds me of the 2006 Finals and Mavs fans (with a few exceptions) complaining about Wade getting more FT’s than the Mavs team save Dirk. Local Talk show host noted perfectly...

"Refs don’t call fouls from where the Mavs are shooting”.

He was right.

Cavs are definitely looking good but to be fair guessing Lebron and some others were not taking the game as seriously. Good to see Lebron at 40 still thinks he has never made a mistake. Can throw a ball right out of bounds near no one and glare at the guy he threw it to.

The Lakers are one of the few post oriented teams left...of course they're going to have more FTA's than most...especially on a night where they apparently decided not to play any defense.

It’s nice to have a coach that isn’t a complete dipshit.

He couldn’t even figure out you can’t play Mobley and Allen together all game long lol
He didn't play Mobley and Allen all game long and staggered them like the current coach.

Serious question as to why the angst toward JB? Nothing special but the team improved every year with him.
