| I also don’t think this team is as good as last year. This game showed that LeBron has no chemistry with Harrell... that’s a huge problem when he was great with Dwight and McGee. Not confident in keeping Trezz |

No way this season's team is better than last season. No. Way. |
Thank goodness Harrell has some of the highest trade value on this team.
As good as he can be, he simply doesn't fit. |
Like Harrell but I agree. Watched this game closely and he has absolutely no chemistry with many guys, including LeBron |

By the way, this is NOT on Lebron.
KCP has to hit shots.
Matthews has to contribute more
Trez got to make easy shots
Marc got to get something out of you
Schroder got to hit layups
Etc.... |
My ears are open to a Trez/ DS/THT deal for Beal. |
I don’t think that gets you Beal.
Plus, you need someone to replace Trez. This is when I wish stupid Dwight was still on the team. |

| I find solace in the fact that this road trip could've started a lot worse given how this game just went. smh Lakers, get your (bleep) together |

Montrezl Harrell has a lot of interest around the NBA, perhaps we can find someone better who can work better with LeBron and it would be great if we can get rid of BrickMatthews. |

We had a winning combo with McGee/Dwight. Why, or why did we have to change something that wasn't really broke? Rob Pelinka...damn you.

Then you got guys who just aren't high level talented
Kuz
And then you have Gasol, who is collecting Laker Social Security payments.
Dammit! |
This. Too many guys have regressed or aren’t as productive as last year. KCP has even started disappear again. Add Schroder too. He’s been very disappointing. Wtf is going on? |

Harrell and Schroeder have zero chemistry with anyone, which is a huge problem. LBJ likes Dennis, but I see no meshing between them at all.

It's not the loss in and of itself, but how we looked.
Terrible from the jump in execution and just lifeless and heartless.
Something has to come of this because we are staring dead into a beatdown on Saturday night. |
As the rain falls here in LA ...
I think we are all in agreement. A loss is aggravating. Hell, I was annoyed by last night's performance. But you know what? They showed heart at the end. Fine, ok.
Tonight? WTF was that?! They let one of the worst teams in the league give them a collective #$$ beating. The 4th quarter meltdown (versus at least making this interesting at the end) really concerns me...it became comical (if youre not a Laker fan) to watch how badly they were just missing shots, missing D assignments, and playing without a sense of urgency.
I'm not happy with their effort tonight, at all, and I'm especially looking at our new acquisitions on this (DS and Trez) who at times may have just been statues out there. And Wes, WTF man, did you come here to just cause the Lakers to become worse? DS and Trez brought here to basically help LBJ when nights like these show up, and against a G league team are a combined -25. Throw in Wes, that is -32.
What a $#!^show. |

If there was a sign of Bron's age... Tonight's game definitely showed that.
But the whole team was flat out missing in the 4th... Definitely fatigue kicked in late in the quarter.
Also not a good sign that KCP/Caruso has come down to earth with their 3s... Harrell seems to be struggling now along with Schro... WES I have no words has he been mostly MIA all season. |

| I've watched every game this season and Harrell/Schroder having no chemistry with the rest of the team is completely true. Harrell/Schroder always look like they are just playing for their next big contracts rather than trying to create something special |

I don’t get why coaches don’t make quick adjustments when a team is sucking wind...
Play Caruso and TNT for 40 mins if you have to. |

Well, we have a bloated center who has no business starting for a championship team. Gasol doesn't even bother to even look and the damn net. At least fake a shot.
Then you have Kieff, who seems like he's rather be home playing Xbox.
You have Matthews who's only true purpose is to make Laker fans actually MISS Danny Green.
You got Katavious Caldwell "I'll-play-good-every-5th-game" Pope, collecting huge paychecks for making about 2 more baskets than I can make.
You got AD, who reminds me of the gigantic Marshmellow man in the original Ghost Busters
And you got a bunch of other guys who ride the bench so hard they have pine prints permanently imprinted in their buttocks.
Now I'm getting mad. |

| Feels like Harrell took a paycut to get a free ring and easy stats alongside AD/LeBron for a big contract. Never once has it seemed like he actually wants to play here or build chemistry |
