    Even if Covington can play on Thursday......It's time to play Bruno! If nothing else, he offers size, he can hit the three, rebound and he block shots.

    Let's face it, what else can we do? Time has past Luc by, Carroll can't shoot and won't spread the court and playing Frazier is basically saying you're giving up.

    Rivers has disappeared, McClemore is just a shooter and doesn't offer anything else.....Come on MDA put him in!

    i'd rather play clemons instead of rivers. we need his deep shooting and ball handling. yes i know they'll try and bring him down in the paint, but we'll have to switch out of that. Roll the dice coach!!

    We need a true big that can guard high and low and hit the three.

    Mike refuses to play him period. How are you suppose to develop the kid when his confidence is shot. Look at Mclemor ... he was one of the best scorer and shooters off the bench in the league prior to his mysterious benching. Last night he was scared to even shoot ball

    It's fun watching Clutchfans after wins and losses. You can truly find the perspective of very high and very low in this place. Are you guys like this in real life? You react to every situation like a mad man and start having jerk reactions lol.

    I am kidding, I know it's sports and this is just what sports do to some people.

    For those younger members, I promise you that it gets easier to deal with this as time passes. At least I've learned to cope with it much much better over the years. Yesterday's loss, I was upset, but then I remembered I had a show I really wanted to watch so I just went to watching the show and totally forgot about the loss. These playoffs have been fun and stressful. Personally, I don't think our season is over and do feel we will fight back. A seven game series is just painful sometimes. For whatever reason, a lot of members here developed this perspective that the Lakers role players suck and that Davis/Lebron were going to fold. The Lakers were the number 1 team in the west this season, and it was not by accident. They don't have a one-trick pony superstar player that does not have variety to his game. Did you all really believe it would be easy? Rockets were always the worst team out of the two and I would say that the competition has been pretty even. We could obviously do better. Mike could certainly adjust his rotation and stop sitting James down at the end of the third/beginning of fourth to prevent Lakers runs (after all this was likely a huge culprit for us losing the last two games).

    Why the hell would anyone suggest to put Caboclo out there? Come on now. He is not a secret weapon lol. He sucks. He had a few good games with the Grizzlies last season while they had one of the worse records in the NBA. Of course it's easier to develop a player like Caboclo when your team sucks and you can give him as much time as possible without consequences. Look at Robert, he likely would not have developed to the player he is right now if it weren't for playing in Philly during their tanking years.

    My point, let's think of real solutions to discuss and not just **** to throw at the wall to see if it will stick.

    Bmac gets hunted out anytime hes on the floor. That's on him to play better defensively. Unfortunately, he can't. The playoffs are a completely different animal, your weaknesses always get exposed

    You play him situationally then when you need points. This7 man rotation is absolutely stupid given Rivers is getting killed on both ends.
