Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

We lost another one by 22. This team is in the krapper and the losing is going to continue. I f can't beat the Knicks at home, we are in for a lot of losing,

 

[Retroram52]

We hold on to the number 8 spot in the Western Conference for now. Minnesota has a losing record of 19-21. We are headed there if something doesn't change.

You are making excuses. Come on!! they should have beaten the knicks!! And no excuse to blown out like they were today. Not competative from the first tap. That is coaching!!

You guys are being overdramatic. What exactly do you want Luke to do? He is missing his top 2 players and arguably his top 3 depending on how you view Rondo. I've told you all back since the Summer that everyone we signed after Lebron aren't very good. Ball and Ingram aren't as good as you think. So what you're left with when Lebron and Kuz out is a team of not very good players. Look at the line ups that are playing. Where are you gonna get scoring? Ingram? He's struggled shooting the ball ever since he came in the league. At best you can describe him as streaky, sometimes he's downright horrific. If you want to blame someone, blame Magic. He put this team together that's heavily flawed. He's got a bunch of guys that all do the same thing, so-so defenders that can't really score. It's very one dimensional. It's not Luke's fault his best players are injured and he's left with scraps. He's doing the best he's got to work with.

Magic is not out there coaching 10 games of lost leads in the fourth quarter. Who is that?? Or making piss poor substituting decisions. That is on luke. If they were getting blown out in those games, I would put it more on the players, however, Luke does not appear to be adding anything to me.

So when does Walton get clipped and Lue gets hired as coach?

The Nets blew a bunch of 4th quarter leads too. Now they've won like 10 of the last 11 games. It takes time for teams to figure it out. The Lakers were in that process, then their rotation got disrupted when all their best players, including one of the greatest players of all time, got hurt.

 

[Retroram52]

The rumors are swirling.

 

[DJ]

Trade anybody but James, Kuzma, and Hart....





Changes need to happen.

 

[DJ]

So when does Walton get clipped

They won't do it during the season.....hopefully after.

 

[tomodach10]

They won't do it during the season.....hopefully after.

I dont know about that. If we go under 500 next week, which is very possible. I think they pull the trigger.

Who are you trading for though? Because you ain't getting much unless you include Kuzma, especially the way Ingram and Ball are playing. Ingram's trade value is dropping like a rock. Also, Hart isn't good enough to be untouchable. Throw him in whatever deals possible. He's a fine role player, but he's just that, a role player. They aren't that hard to replace. Like you're nuts if you're turning down a trade for Anthony Davis because Kuzma and Hart are involved. Or say he Wizards blow it all the way up and want Ingram, Hart, some stuff for Beal but you say no because you still want to keep Hart. You're gonna have to part with them if you want something of real value.

I agree with the trade value of Ball and Ingram going down. I don't know what to do.

Crazy NC game....

 

[DJ]

Kuzma returns and shooting like shit.


Was 2 of 14.

 

[DJ]

[DJ]

The Lakers are balling....

Ingram with 26 points on 11 of 18 shooting.

Ball with 17 points on 7 of 14 shooting, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals.

Hart has 14 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals.
