I really think Lue would get exposed on a team without a trancendent Superstar like LBJ.
Even without his stars, he should try to make that game a little more competitive and easier to watch. I mean I have seen european teams give more of a fight.

You think?

Has Lue won a game without lebron? Or even stayed within 10 points? Seems like every non lebron game is a 20 point blowout regardless of opponent.

I'm disappointed that it's the reality. It's never a close game without LBJ it seems and we even lose this game even with Irving playing.
Heat is also a team with a bunch of misfits. Their only "good" players are Dragic and Whiteside.. rest are a bunch of ex d-leaguers and disappointing players that play well because of their coach.

Lue is going to ride the coat tail of LBJ for the rest of Bron's career it seems. Lue is a disciple of Doc Rivers and similar to him Doc got crowned as the next big coach after winning the championship, but now Doc is being exposed as a bad coach on a team that keeps underachieveing. Only now Clippers fans realize how mediocre he is.

How do you lose by 30 to the Heat while shooting 48% from the field and only score 92 while giving up 101 through 3 quarters?

It's nice saying that Lue is a playoffs coach, like the RS doesn't matter. When Pop rests his starters he at the least competitive and often times on the winning side. What's the point of resting playing if it's a sure loss?

What's the point of resting playing if it's a sure loss?

I wish I could answer, but I don't know what the question is.

Yes LBJ, Kyrie, KLove and JR didn't play, but why the hell you lose by 30p to a team like the Heat?!

Those are the team's 4 best players. What remains after that is the worst team in the league. Same with virtually every other team when you remove their four best players. How silly.

Come on, guys. Yes, we should be able to win games occasionally when just LBJ sits, and it's concerning for the future that we never can.

But no, Greg Popovich isn't going to be competitive if were you to remove Leonard, Aldridge, Parker, and Green. That's a 10 win team, at best, that remains.

He is resting players in the first place because he plays his stars too many players to win games. So what's the point in overplaying Lebron and key players because you are afraid of dropping a game just to concede the next game? a loss is a loss right? If he managed the minutes better during the game he would still give the team a chance to win the game while at the same time give enough rest for the players to play the next game.

Obviously he doesn't face the same criticism if the team loses a game without it's 4 starters as opposed to losing a game with almost a full squad. No one gives

How many games will golden state win with a lineup of Livingston,Clark,Iggy,West,Javale?
They just lost KD and lost two games in a row without him, while having 3 other All-Stars still active, the impact of losing just one great player is clearly huge, let alone playing without your entire starting lineup lol.

The Heat are not a bunch of misfits, they have been the best team in the NBA in the last two months going 17-3 while also beating a fully healthy GS team, and beating a fully healthy Houston team, twice.

We are not the Spurs, Popovich plays all of his players a minimum of 17-25 minutes per game, sometimes he plays his bench unit more than his starters, that builds continuity and trust, We do rely on our top heavy guys and that's perfectly normal, the Spurs are not the norm in the NBA they're the exception.

They're going to fucking punk this team Monday night.
