I still think people are a little off base on the Jrue hate from last night.


I think criticism of his offense last night is very fair. He was playing hero/heat check ball and acting like he was feeling it when he clearly wasn't. I know the Lakers were taking away passing lanes, but he should have been much less aggressive and played within the flow of the game. Zion and Ingram should be the only players with the green light to force the action on offense.

JJ had the best +/- on the night at +12 so the gravity he created was obviously helpful as he didn't take a shot last night to contribute any direct help.


I don't think you can make that assumption. The Pels typically made runs when LeBron sat, I would bet JJ wasn't on the court much while LeBron was in and that would explain his +/-.

I agree that Zion and Ingram should be the "primary" scorers. However, I just can't agree with Jrue shouldn't have the green light to initiate and be a primary offensive weapon.

In our last 5 games, before last night, which we were 4-1, Jrue was averaging 20.8 points on 51% fg and 48% 3pfg, 11 assists, and 3.4 turnovers. He was the main offensive catalyst in two of our four wins.

If there is anything to fault him on last night, it was missing the layup on the baseline, missing the open 3 when we were up 3, and not getting a goaltending call. He was not without other faults last night but until BI can be more consistent as a playmaker and an initiator, Jrue has to be the third main cog on offense. He had also just had his best stretch of the season.

He seems to have done that when we have played the Lakers. Not sure if he is trying to prove something to AD, but he seems to want to "show his stuff" against them.
