| Watching the Clippers actually run offense, is it even possible to run a system with Lebron? |

| Quote: | A very religious man is also extremely poor. He can't support his family at all, and every day he goes to church to pray for god's help winning the lottery. He does this for a long time and people in his congregation start to notice. Finally, the priest himself decides to ask god for help.
"God" he says, "look at John. He comes here every day, multiple times a day and asks for your help. And yet you do nothing. Can't you just let him win the lottery?"
Suddenly god appears before the priest.
"Look," he replies, "I'm ready to help the guy. I've been ready for the last few years. But he's never actually bought a (bleep) ticket." |
Maybe, the Lakers should install an offense and find out. |

1. Our offense/lineups were crap
2. Our players took turns being morons throughout different parts of the games/season
LeBron at this stage of his career isn't overcoming that  |

| Post game interview, Luke says "the injuries has been catching up to us". How does he explain losing to the worst record in the NBA, Phoenix Suns, with everyone available to play with the exception of Lonzo? |

Not defending Luke's strategy but, regarding health
Lonzo
Lance
Hart
Tyson
ailing.
And sun's just beat the Bucks. That's nuts. |

No, unless it is the Lebron system.

Lebron doesnt play for 48 mins nor does he hold the ball every possession. |

Oh lawd if beating the worst team in the league relies on Lance/Tyson/Hart being healthy, we're more F'd than I thought.
We're 3-9 the last 12 games with losses to ATL, MEM, PHO and a Tobias Harris-less Clippers. |

Yep.
Without a good offense or defense and having inconsistent players, injuries to those guys will hurt for sure. Been a horrible 2nd half

UCLA can get back to the final 4! |

LeBron and Rando both are too ball dominating. They don’t fit well with Luke’s system. They don’t fit well with each other either. They both need to be paired up with a true scorer like Wade, Irving or Cousins and shooters which we don’t have. Wrong coach, wrong star and wrong roster. Wrong combination, not necessary they are bad.
We need to sign a scorer and a few shooters this summer. |

Perhaps
As long as whoever the coach is isn't putting LeBron or Kuzma at center |

Not perhaps. 100%. Bruh remember when we had Phil Jackson and we were winning chips? People still cried about coaching. I hear you though regarding Luke.

Yeah. Although the (bleep) roster construction and AD fiasco are squarely on the FO, Luke and his staff did themselves no favors with their ineptitude this year.

Mind blowing that Luke didn’t think tonight was a must win. His reserved demeanor infects our team and they have no sense of urgency. That calm demeanor in BI and Zo is being enabled by Luke. Once we replace him, watch how much more fire those guys will play with.

| Should have canned his ass the first month of the season. He's been a bad coach since day 1, it's not just this season |

Crazy how most media defends him. What has he shown to prove he’s a good coach? 39-4 Warriors record with a championship team that already had continuity? Geeez.

Clippers don't really have names, they just have players who have a chip on their shoulder....this is probably why they have been so effective this season....yeah, they probably won't go deep in the playoffs but that really isn't the point. Nobody expected them to even get to the playoffs period. My guess is the lack of egos is the reason why everybody bought in even when their best player got traded. |
