Well dudes can't play 48 minutes.

Favors had minute limit.

Hood got into foul trouble.

Exum is playing the exact same minutes as Mack. The fact is we don't have a backup SG right now because of the Burks/Hayward injuries. Mack is going to play 20 mpg and there really isnt much Quin can do unless he wants to play JJ and Hood 37+ mpg and burn them out early.

True.
It just seemed like he played like 40 minutes lol then I check the box score and see he only played 23. That's not too bad I guess.

I get a strong sense that quin loves him though and wants him on the court even if we have Hayward and Burks healthy. That worries me a bit

I'd rather watch slomo joe play off ball than watch Mack kill the shot clock.

Lyles went from launching 3's at will in SL and preseason to pump fake driving everything.

It looked like he finally got more aggressive in the fourth quarter but yeah.

Well he has coached him longer than any player on the team probably. How long was he with him in Atlanta?

It's just wild. I guess the pressure gets to him and he doesnt want to take a quick shot, but he ends up taking much worse shots when he passes up the initial open one. Pretty sure he pump faked into a 24 foot dribble pull up with his foot halfway across the 3pt line at one point.

Idk, but ya, that just gives me more reason to worry/complain.
I don't want Mack to get any minutes with a fully healthy team... And I even think there is a decent chance he is better than Exum but we tanked for Exum and I want to find out what Exum can do.
 
Hill and Johnson saved this game for us. Have to say this game had me anxious from start to finish. The Lakers could be a 40 win team this year though from the way they played at certain stretches.

Didn't catch the game, could someone give me a brief rundown? A couple questions I had based on the box score:
- How did Favors look? Were the 5TOs look like they were from rust?
- How did Diaw play?
- Trey Lyles had a godawful +/-, did he play badly?
- How was Exum's defense?

Very much appreciated! Thanks again.

-Favors was beasty but being off the knee obvi effected his cardio. The turnovers were mostly a team timing thing iirc.
-Not too many minutes
-He isn't playing good D so he is getting pulled before he can get comfortable on the other end
-Good. Not George mother ****in Hill good but good.

He may need to get in a rythymn with this group. When it's SL it's easy to chuck because everyone is terrible... he looks like he is thinking too much. If he has one good shooting game it could get him going.

So, are you lodging a future complaint right now, or....?

I dont really see how Mack could get any minutes with a fully healthy team. I also don't see how our team can be fully healthy since Alec Burks is somewhere in a morgue.

If you feel like betting on the Lakers for 40 wins, give me a call pronto
 
It is kind of worrisome that Russell got a wide open 3 on a high PNR when they were down by 4 with like 30 seconds left (idk maybe less or more). It was like a replay of Lillard, but he missed.
