| All 4 opponents were under 500 and to come home with only 1 win is nauseating. I am literally nauseous right now! |

McGee getting the flu threw the team off, when he played in the first 2 games we were competitive and had a chance to win, he’s been sitting out in these last 2 games and we have been having a up hill battle to stay in the game

Yup, a pathetic trip against a bunch of bad teams.

| This team relies on McGee. The rim protection and the high percentage shots he gets are huge. |

| Lets be real. This is a 30 win team without Lebron. This is a trash roster outside of Lebron and not even he can elevate us to greatness. We need help big time. |

30? I would donate $1000 to LG if this team won more than 20 games without Lebron lmao |

JaVale is huge for us. We are missing 3 key players.
We would whoop all these teams with a full roster. |

We are playing without 3 of our 6 or so best players, it's kind of to be expected. The Wizards loss was basically a scheduled loss just because B2B on the road is draining.
The Nets game is the one you'd like to have won but again, with McGee out we have the same center problems that we had before we signed Chandler (but worse since JaVale is better than Tyson)
So eh |

The juggernaut wizards?! No way!
I mean Trevor Ariza will make sure they don’t lose 51 games. |

Houston game was stolen from us IMO, so 2-2 on the road trip in terms of how we played, can't beat the refs though.

Without LeBron and Randle from last season? Year we'd be expected to be worse than 35 win team we were last season.

Rondo going to come back salty and balling.
Huge loss not having him.

Agreed about Javale but the Wizards won that game only dressing 7 players themselves. The Nets were without their best player Lavert.
In all honesty the Lakers probably should make a trade to improve but they likely can't/won't due to FA and the fact they are also saving their young assets until the AD situation is resolved. |

I stand corrected on Washington. Didn’t realize they only had 7 players.
All things being even and both teams having full rosters, I think we still beat them all.
A KCP trade could still net us a positive ala Chandler, but yes, the young pieces are being saved for the big fish. |

Teams are fired up against us and because our offense is every other game, more consistent D would definitely have helped. |

It was a chance to show we truly belong in the top 3 or 4 in the West. It would have had us talking about going for the 2nd best record overall as well.
Instead, we are bunched together with all the teams with 13 and 14 losses. If this gets worst, Lakers can be out of the playoffs in a week. One week, you feel like it's coming together, you're one of the top teams, then the next, you're wondering if missing the playoffs is possible. |

McGee's in for a huge raise then. If we can't win w/o McGee, then we'd have to pay the man whatever he wants this offseason. |
