3 of 13 from 3pt along with poor defense and rebounding in the second half doomed the Pels

The Pels likely win the game if any of those three areas are handled better in the second half.

The poor outside shooting after going 9 for 14 in the first half let the Warriors continue to trap hard and stay in that box and 1, Looney’s 5 offensive boards in the 3rd gave them life, while the poor perimeter D let them finish the job.

Can’t tell me another shooter isn’t still needed (and I still think it’s criminal Willie hasn’t seen if Kira has improved enough to be that guy), and the lack of a credible athletic 4/5 to protect the paint has been an issue seemingly forever (and if Larry is too hurt to play like he is capable why is Jax nailed to the bench).

Griff has known those issues and chose not to address them.

Drafting a shooter is a must. Hawkins, Dick, Hendricks, sensabaugh, whitehead. One of these guys at least

teams were asking a haul for really good guys such as wish-proposed here.

memphis seems to have got a deadline shooter "cheap".
it cost them Danny green and net two 2nds (3 from memphis, one going back). Danny green has been champion.

We spent all our 2nds getting off devonte's contract. Memphis was able to do that because Danny green was expiring. Im fine with the JRich move. He's not as good of a shooter as kennard but he's solid and a much better defender. We should have turned Jax + Temple into something at the deadline though.

Every single team in the NBA has needs but our fans act like we are the only one who does. The team we just lost to, the defending champs, have glaring needs. Griff has put together a very good lineup, not perfect, but very good when healthy. Lineups look even more flawed when your injured.

This trade deadline was not the time to go get one of the better FA because it was such a weak FA class that you were going to have to overpay. The Lakers were gifted a fantastic trade for some reason I don't know why, but not many teams greatly improved at the deadline and definitely didn't without giving up the farm like the Suns.

Stop blaming Griff for everything.
