Watch out for Berniedoodles and Trumpers
The situation with the Lakers is systemic. Poor decisions from trades to free agents to coaches to inability to act at crucial times (Kobe). Criticizing players from the front office not to sharp either.
TLance defines some of the situation well. Most concerning is their bottom of the barrel defense culture which is actually worse this year than last. Young players are developing without priority on fundamentals.
The issue is ownership, and the GM. An overhaul is needed. Will the Buss's stand behind their statements about stepping down now that the promise by Jim is not coming due?
Its management and vision. I actually think the break up of the Buss girl and Phil could now allow Phil to come in and clean it all up.
