Not like its surprising why AD and LeBron wanted the FO to bring in help during the trade deadline, to turn the season around they knew they had a bunch of lousy players on the team

I don't know that I think they aren't playing hard but they certainly aren't being affective. So whether they feel like they don't know what to do or they don't feel supported or what but...

Just watch next game. See how slow they are at getting back, and they don’t box out either. Melo, lebron, Russ all do that, this team is a joke.


Well I know the old guys don't either because they're too old and tired or you know who knows what but I don't agree that the young guys do that necessarily all the time. Like there a play that happened... it wasn't like he made an egregious mistake but the play just didn't work out and Bron started yelling at Reaves about something and I could just see defeat in Reaves face. So I don't know what's going on back there but something ain't right.

They should at least fight with what they have.
Lazy defensively
Terrible offensively

If true then why is Vogel playing them?? Whoever's saying that needs to turn in their jersey and (bleep) their ass down. Seriously. Just shows the 0 balls of Vogel. You got players who've given up and he's still playing them?

Ariza worthless
Bazemore worthless
Ellington worthless
Bradley worthless
Gabriel weak
Johnson weak
THT weak
Westbrook horrible
Howard old
Melo inconsistent and old
Davis made of glass
Lebron trying to do it all and old

Monk is ok
Reaves is ok

That’s your roster folks…

The thing is that Russ, melo and bron already made bank, the young guys are gunning for big contracts, there should be zero possessions they took off in a game. AC would’ve been a great example, even in our dog days in 2019, he was playing hard no matter what happened

They don’t like each other, it’s pretty simple

Every casual fan knows that Westbrook trade was bad, only bron/Jeanie didn’t

Turning into?

Bruv we've been that for about 90% of the season.

(bleep) W took Lebron scoring 50 twice

Last years of Kobe all over again.

Gonna surround Lebron with Huertas brother Marcelinho next season.


I hated the last Kobe years.
Embarrassing that the FO didn’t try to put anything decent around him.
It was sad.


Nash and Howard?

Forget the Lakers embarrassing situation…KAT is setting himself up to get clowned in the playoffs (by another team).

Perennial losers shouldn’t start talking (bleep) until they have won something.

Pretty confident change is coming regardless. The thought was that we'd be a championship contender not fighting to maybe make the play-in.

Might be unpopular here... Starters has not been that good since we insert Reeves/Monk in the starting line-up.

Reeves seems like better coming off the bench. Monk really has not been the same since the ASB.

Lets give the vets a try...

Dwight
Lebron
Melo
Baze
Westbrook

Monk
Reeves
THT
Gabriel

The difference between making the play in and missing out is the FO factor, I think Pelinka will 100% get canned if we miss the play in were as if we made the play in and made some noise might make it more desirable to keep the FO intact.

Unfortunately we don’t control our destiny. As hard as we try to fail, we need others to win

After the achilles Bryant barely played the next two seasons IIRC. Even his last year he was average starter level. Not sure who could've righted the ship to get him a proper last leg in LA
