Thanks for that. I responded.

I don't know if it would have helped, but maybe Luke should have played Beasley more minutes and even paired Zu and JaVale for a few minutes and slowed the damn pace down. Last night was tough on the eyes, but I suffered through it. We may not win another game until LeBron returns. Our playoff chances are very iffy at this point. That sucks.

Once LeBron and Rondo return, we'll get in. It may be a 7th seed (looks like the Spurs will be our familiar nemesis) but remember that this less-than-stellar winning percentage is exactly what is driving Magic/Rob (and LeBron the recruiter) to make a big trade for the next-level star. We - and they - can clearly see that 1) LeBron is not enough, 2) Rondo, McGee and KCP are nice (Beasley is a wash), but not who we can get to the Finals with in the West, and 3) this year is not our year - considering we were hoping that LeBron could drag us to a Finals the way he's carried his teams for the last several years.
Luke better get his act together. Our young core has to get more cohesive. LeBron MUST stay healthy. And our front office has to keep its foot on the pedal regardless.

As patient as I want to be with Brandon Ingram, he does not have chemistry with anyone on the team and I'm not so sure that the way Luke is using him is the reason. He appears to be a square peg in a round hole. I understand his young, length, talent and potential, but me thinks that perhaps he is who he is as a player, albeit an unpolished version.
