| Problem is the defensive lapses.. They aren't consistent as a young team other than Bron. |

Starts with Jeanie buss
She decided to keep Luke over saving the year.
Her father fired a guy after 5 games once he knew players were out |

| Lakers need better veterans. Rondo should be picking up the team while Lonzo is out, not driving the tank |

The older guys are the ones making the most defensive mistakes. |

| Maginka mailed in competing and contending once they knew they couldn't land that 2nd superstar, so the team this year has been just LeBron & cap space for 2019. LeBron's playoff streak coming to an end is a pretty damning and terrible resume to have building a terrible team to build around LeBron that he can't even make the playoffs all due to poor team building. |

And if they don’t land 2nd max FA, it’s time for someone else to be in charge.
It’s ironic the guy they decided not to hire as a consultant because of ego is the guy who is likely to steal the max FA (Kawhi). |

The deeper we get into the season, the more I notice Lebron coasting the entire game.
He literally puts in almost zero effort all game long.
Moments where he actually hustles and tries, it looks like he's playing against kids. But 95 percent of the game is him jogging around and forcing passes.

bron included, watch his effort on defense, it been lacking all season, you dont just turn that on. Bad habits are hard to break, and as a leader you cant yell at anyone else, when youre youve been coasting all season. |

Lakers play decent 1 game, then they (bleep) the bed the next couple of games.
It's because they have no system to run, it's all ISO-ball, nothing to fall back onto. Don't bother looking at the coaches because they sure as heck don't know what's going on in the game.
Inconsistency. It comes from the (bleep) coaching.
Fix it and then over time with decent coaching, you'll see a real improvement.
Otherwise, you get the same old (bleep) show week after week. |

Tonight was the low point of the season imo.
We can talk about Luke and he’s not surviving this, but neither should Magic/Pelinka with an embarrassment of a season after wasting assets.
I’m legit afraid we will be going back into lottery (bleep) show for half a decade with the way they throw away assets. |

Crazy thing is that now the Clippers might be better than the Lakers for close to a decade now. Clippers have been better than the Lakers since the 2012-13 season, with the Clippers being on the Lakers level during the 2011-2012 lockout season. Looks like they will also be better than the Lakers again this year too, and they don't have an All-Star on their roster, while the Lakers have LeBron and the Clippers are still the better team. Worse case scenario, the Lakers might just be the new Knicks of the 2000's decade of utter terribleness. Starting to get Isiah Thomas as Knicks GM vibes with Magic & Pelinka. |

| Clippers are better due to proper coaching, simple as that. If the Lakers can get a decent coach, it will be a vastly different situation. |

It's not just coaching. Our FO has made too many poor decisions and this roster is poorly constructed. |

I'm not a fan of Doc Rivers, but he can coach circles around Luke Walton. So that helps. |

It's not just coaching. Our FO has made too many poor decisions and this roster is poorly constructed. |
I keep hearing this and there are some headscratcher players that should rarely leave the bench. The problem was Luke was relying heavily on these guys instead of just playing them spot minutes.
There were very few offseason options for this team. Brook Lopez was barely adequate from 3pt land and wouldn't help a team sorely needing rebounding. Julius Randle wanted to leave. There were no magic 3 and D players that amazingly became available.
There were no superstars with realistic trade scenarios. Really not any options along with keeping a max free agent slot in summer of 2019.
What's this magic roster construction that would've made a better team?
Getting rid of Luke would've helped this team immensely, so I do put that on the front office/ownership.
However, the vets with playoff experience the Lakers did get are good enough, Luke hasn't got a clue what to do with them however.
The purpose of this roster construction was to develop the youth to see who is good. Unfortunately this is just been a (bleep) 3 years for player development. |
