I think Hart will do well off the bench.
And the fans will want him back in the starting lineup in 3 weeks lol

Enough what?... This such a laugh out loud comment... Seriously what has he SHOWN us???

Well you watch the games and you see for yourself but statistically, he's 3-7 (30%) without Lebron, which is worse than last year at 35-47 (42.7%). So our young core has REGRESSED!!

My bad... I dont really have issue with you said in your previous comment... I thought you were arguing for Luke to keep his job....

Those fans can go to hell for all I care. It’s been well documented at this point that Hart performs better when he’s coming off the bench

uhm. OK?

I think a "I wholeheartedly disagree" might have had the same affect. Or not.

So fewer fouls on 3 pt shots and more rebounds for the other guards?

I think Lonzo may have to hit the glass more in Hart's stead.

McGee got benched because he called out Luke's horrible defensive strategies lately. That seat is getting extremely hot. It's almost time to flush this fool down the toilet and bring in a legit coach

Will be interesting to see how that line up works out. I think KCP might help out but Chandler looks really immobile. I don't know if he will be better than Mcgee.

Or perhaps we're missing our best player from last year, Randle?

Again, waiting for the fire Luke crowd to tell me who is replacing him. Perhaps the problem is the players/roster construction?

Our lineup is worse than last year’s if you take out LBJ and Rondo so it is not surprising if the record is worse.

He's shown us that he can coach an elite defense two years in a row, even with significant roster overhaul, and a team that is home court advantage level when healthy.

Tonight could very well be Luke's swan song given he's had more time and talent to mold than BScott or the Mikes did.

If you believe a team of first and second year players should be the same each year, you might as well stop drafting if you can't develop players.

Well yeah cuz we made a trade off, if you are going to include Randle and Lopez.

Yup. New Lakers plan is "to suck, but ever so slightly suck less than the other team". Let's see if they can keep it up!

How does Luke have horrible defensive strategies though? We are one of the better defense in the nba.

I'd like to see the team play sound basketball. Let me know when that happens.

PS. Teams happy to be mediocre are mediocre for a reason

You'll be waiting for a while.

So you are going to ignore the lineup changes and blindly said the worse winning percentage is due to regression of our players and the coach? Just so you know, Randle is averaging 20 points.
