I still believe if Lebron can stay healthy (and right now that’s a huge question mark) he automatically makes every single player on the roster much better. Even Russ.
Same can be said for AD but yeah to state the obvious he’s still no Lebron |

If LeBron (and everyone else who plays) gets and stays healthy I think we'll be fine in the long run.
Key injuries really destroy your attempts at building chemistry, cohesiveness, confidence and consistent, coherent rotations and lienups. |

Once more for the fans in the back
Vogel... has...no...offense....
His offense is "let the stars do what they want and it will work out and I will focus on defense."
Well the defense sucks this year, and he already sucks at offense so..... We have to basically depend on our stars to make stuff happen because Vogel has no clue how to draw up an actual offense and he decided we didn't need an offensive assistant on this team. So if you're looking for structure or constant roles, you will get none. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Not gonna be fun until we have a full heathy team out there. So that might now happen for another month… But this team is still heavy reliant on Lebron being healthy. |

Agreed 💯
And it’s perfectly normally for the majority of us to lose our (bleep) especially LG 😂🤣😂 during this horrible start but at the end of the day we’re 5-5 with 72 games to go. |

Thought this had the makings of a Portland beatdown. Placed a bet on Blazers -5.5 and won some money. |

Lakers without LeBron were struggling.. but Davis going down with a stomach illness was a straight killer for the team, we need Davis or LeBron playing in any game to give us a chance because our team isn’t constructed in a way were we can survive without our big guns and it showed, Vogel needs to do a better job preparing the team before the game, Westbrook needs to stop playing like a idiot.. I still have hope. |

So true. I'm amazed at the hateful, reflexive comments about Westbrook just in this thread, acting as if he's the devil.
It's just one game. Yes, a disastrous one, but one in which we were without our two best players.
Let's just try to be at least 1% better than we were yesterday. |

I always relish the rare occasion when we hand Portland an L at the Rose Garden or whatever the (bleep) it's called these days, but I'm glad you got paid |

I caught the beginning of the game and then went into a concert. So I didn't see any of this debacle. For this I am grateful. |

Thanks, believe me I would've been ecstatic to lose money if somehow the Lakers won tonight. |

I’m leaning towards the fire these guys ship..... an I’m a big Vogel supporter throughout these past 2 seasons.
Maybe it was all Lionel Hollins and Jason Kidd during our title run???? |
Defense and heart with a team that played together won us that title.
Then we blew it up.
This team is an entitled nothing. |
One of the biggest mistakes Pelinka has made was not making sure Dwight knew we wanted him back... am I right.. no calls or asking for a signature etc and well, the 76ers called and signed him
Not finding a way to get Lowry |

That “Leave a Legacy” motto has taken on a new meaning.
They are what they are right now, big time garbage even with Lebron.
Lebron has to save the day against trash, lottery teams.
Against anyone average or better, the Lakers have yet to demonstrate they won’t get blown out. |

Lakers lose 105-90
Final score deceiving, they were being beaten by 30+ going into the 4th. Absolute embarrassment.
As we knew, no LBJ, THT, Nunn (and of course Ariza). AD then joined the no show with I believe some stomach illness. Then Russ joined the no show by actually playing, but playing like absolute trash, so may as well have been a no show...an incredible 1-13.
You know, you could expect a loss, but the overall play for most of the game was pathetic. Team made it interesting in second quarter with some decent D...but could not get a bucket consistently.
Shrug. I suppose only one way to go from here...ya? Maybe? _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z |

Watching this team right now is giving me shades of pre-LBJ team...pretty much expecting losses, surprised at wins. Depressing. _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z |

That sucked!
Getting tired of seeing my Lakers getting outworked and having no idea passion or intensity.
I really disliked several players on the roster before the season season after and knew they would struggle. But this is ridiculous! |

And so it begins...
I'll say it again. This is just the beginning of the end. I'm already for a repeat of 2012. We have no first round picks and little assets left. Along with an incompetent front office just like in 2012, we're gonna become irrelevant again. _________________ #SellTheLakers |

Good. It's time for a rebuild anyways. Question is who will be our centerpiece. AD just isn't panning out with his injury prone self. Maybe we can trade him for a some promising youth. |

Remember when all those morons said that being 0-6 in the preseason and not coming close to winning one game wasn’t concerning?
Well if you said that, you’re a moron. |

Chicago has some good young players…maybe trade him home so Bulls nation can finally realize their dream of AD in a Bulls uniform. |

Well there's one guy on the bulls who said he wanted to play for the Lakers, Derozan. But they are playing so well there, instant chemistry. |

^^This.^^
And, been saying this exact same thing, since our championship run. Most fans thought it was worth it, for another title. But, the long term implications were never promising. Especially with AD not showing the fortitude, mental or physical, to be a number 1 guy. Only thing looking good for the future is THT, and Reaves.
That said, I'm not out on this squad. Just need to trim some players (Monk/Ellington), for some better fits, if available. And, get healthier. Oh, and lose Vogel while we're at it, if possible. _________________ ZOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! |
