Lakers are a joke because their owner is a joke. Now I know how Brown fans feel.


Jeanie and Luke are probably a thing. Luke ain't going anywhere.

If Lakers don't fire Luke after tonight's game the management has entirely lost the director of the franchise.

Also, why don’t the Cavs have Clarkson on the floor to close? Do they think that little of him?


Because he isn't good.

fire everyone truth is that the team does fit and have an identity

Lonzo over passes
Lakers dont know whether they want to run or play slow
Luke needs another talking from Magic

Not "what do you think happened tonight?" and "do you guys think you'll pick it back up once you get LeBron?"

I wanna see "Zubac was playing really well in the first half. why didn't you go back to him in the 2nd?" Stuff that actually matters.


Don’t count on it. They’re all on laker payroll.


it's like they had no problem doing that stuff to Mike Brown, and Mike D'Antoni..

but then Byron And Luke get here and they start asking soft as charmin questions suddenly.

We were 11-point favorites tonight, and it was actually bet up from 9.5 last night to 11 by tip-off.



I hear you loud and clear. So, Luke has a gambling problem and is betting against and sabotaging the Lakers. Definitely needs to be fired then.

I cannot remember a worse effort than this. I really can't.


To me, it wasn't the effort. It was the team having little idea how to play together and that is on the coach. Consistently bad shooting and free throws and the response is "hey they are professionals, its not my job".

The only reason Luke could keep his job is Magic is afraid the team will play just as bad and then the media turns it attention to Magic...


also, he would have to show up when things are not going well.....seems like he prefers to mostly show where there is positive credit he can accumulate.

I really hate to join the wagon and play the Luke and coaching staff card.

But wow you really didn’t push thes sense of urgency on these guys after a blowout loss in Utah with one day rest before playing the leagues worst record at home!!!!!!!!!!


Too much Joeys Bbq and partying with the LA Rams I guess

Pathetic!!!!!!!!

game when the starters are not hitting shots early
you need to play others more like wagner and svi to see if someone can get a hot hand

one thing that barely gets mentioned is how much McGee and Chandlers play has regressed since early on in the season....on offense and defense


Isn't it just age in Chandler's case, and regressing to the mean in McGee's case?

That's why I made the Limitless joke... because both he and Lance look like their career numbers right now.

Sorry, but it's not all about Lebron. We can't even beat crappy teams.

It's tells you the FO put together a crap team with NO shooters.

You need shooters in the NBA

You're an idiot to think otherwise

FO had failed with these signings...YOU NEED SHOOTERS!!!!!!!!!

You need shooters

You need shooters

Luke and Magic are setting up everyone to fail

Hart should not be playing 30+ minutes with how putrid he has been.
KCP should be starting.
Beasley should be playing for more than 7 minutes.
McGee looks like he used all his game in the first 20 or so games of the season.
Kuz needs to develop some sort of consistency between games/quarters.
We ran Lance for a stretch too long there instead of going back to Zo.
BI freethrows.
Borderline on board with firing Luke - but what are the options?

Did I miss anything. My God these Lakers without Bron are hard to watch.

Couldn't hit threes... couldn't hit FTs...

We're just a bad team. We don't have the basic tools to win games.

People ask good questions but they don’t air them on spectrum. They tend to just stick to Trudell and John “Why is that” Ireland. You got a hit NBA TV or Lakers Twitter to see what the other reporters are asking.

its crazy to me
if Cleveland played like this every night they wouldn't be having 12 straight losses

i hate that every team plays the hardest against the lakers

cavs diving on floors, hustling etc


Or maybe the truth is that the Lakers are so bad (without Bron) that it just looks like the other teams are playing their hardest against us. Maybe without Bron, we are one of the worst teams in the league.


could be, but i dont recall many missed opened looks or uncontested lay ups for us


Again, maybe that's because without Bron we don't have anyone that can create open shots or layups for themselves or their teammates.

No, no, no. We need someone who actually knows how to run offensive sets. You are seeing the difference in the Bucks this season in going from Jason Kidd to Budenholzer. Strong coaching matters.

It’s not just that the Cavs won, they won wire to wire..... in your building and this is after losing to the Knicks already...... in your building!

I’m sorry, if the coach can’t motuvate the team to win, he has to go, period!!!!!

The LA media has always been soft as charmin. When they were trashing Brown and DAntoni, it was because Jeanie wanted them to.
