Those Knicks/Cavs losses happened pre-AD talk. They may haunt us later on.
I agreed.
Those losses are enough to fire him.
Cannot lose to the two worse teams in the East. (especially when the Knicks were trying to lose)
Poor coaching.
Losing to two teams trying to lose Pathetic _________________ “You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.” - Kobe Bryant

This team with these players is done. It will never work with this group. FO will change something now or they will wait until the season is over but this team at the moment with Luke in charge can't work as a team. That ship has sailed few days ago.

Have a little faith.
Of the top 4 teams projected to make the playoffs for the western conference, how many of them are impossible for the lakers to beat, and how many of them are possible for the lakers to beat??? There is still a chance they can make one miracle run in a series against the Warriors, and two unlikely runs against lesser teams.
CP3 is always injured, can we beat them?
Denver is overachieving, can we beat them?
If we beat those two, can we get lucky and beat Golden State?
It's not impossible to win the championship. It's far from likely, but it is not impossible.
If people know they are not wanted on a team nothing can be said by the Magic or anybody else..There is one way i can think of that this team might unite, The veterans on this team need to fire this team up and tell them to show managment why they are wrong in doing what they did. This is where i look at Lebron to be a big factor...It's really all up to him to be honest either he gathers the team together and makes one last push to make the playoffs or we just accept defeat and lay down while this team continues to implode game by game.
But this is the Lakers unlike any other franchise you put that Jersey on and you're Lebron James it's your duty to lead by example and remind players what they are here for. The (bleep) playoffs.
New Orleans didn’t want them either. That should be insulting to them. Seemed like no offer was going to be good enough for the Pelicans. If they start playing like (bleep) because they were in trade talks, then the front offices of both teams are going to say “See I was right. Compared to Davis those young players aren’t worth (bleep).”

The W against Boston could be just the spark the Lakers need to forget about the trade drama and start playing with fire again.
We've really played 0 games where we've had everyone on the squad present and healthy. Rondo out multiple times, Zo out for 6 weeks, Bron out for 17 games, Kuz's hip, BI suspension, Tyson Chandler not being with the team in the beginning of the season etc.
And to add to that, we've beaten the top 4 teams in the West in GSW, DEN, POR and OKC. Beating GSW seems impossible but as someone said in this thread, a freak injury on Curry/KD at an opportune time, and anything can happen.
I don’t know. I feel like Golden State needs at least 2 big injuries to really have their title hopes threatened. If one star gets hurt it just means more shots for the other star players.

Anyone else get the Robert Horry game winning shot vibe vs the Kings w/ Rondo's game winner?
Kobe/Ingram goes for a layup and misses, ball is tapped out and gets in the hands of Horry/Rondo, and BOOM. It's the same announcer calling the play too and says the same exact thing "Down to seven seconds"
