Note to Luke: play your five best players together as often as possible.

ESPN Staff Writer

Luke Walton did not discount LeBron James playing in all 82 games this season but the Lakers coach also said James' playing time will factor in the franchise's long-term goals -- not just this season's aspirations. "We've got four years, we want to make sure we're not only playing at our best come the end of the season but that he's fresh," Walton said. "And that's a goal for us. And it's a goal that we're on a journey and it's not a one-year journey."

I thought Puke Walton said we practiced defense during training camp...I hope he knows he has about 10 games before Magic will let him go..

He's been awful tonight but no coach can win when guys can't make wide open 3s.

Fire him. The fact he even thought running like this and not emphasizing shooting was a smart tactic is ridiculous. His rotations are still horrible. I don’t wanna sit thru another 35 games of Luke experimenting

I mean KCP was the highest +/- at +8 on the team.
Imagine if Hart started and KCP played with the second unit tonight. We would have gotten blown out haha.

The reason for our loss:
All our forwards sucked from 3 tonight.

Was really frustrating seeing LeBron out there during garbage time. We weren’t winning that game. Hopefullly that doesn’t happen again.

If he keeps insisting on using Kuz at center like Nance over JR. I hope he's fired quick. I'm done with stupid stubborn ass coaches. They need to find a basketball version of McVay

I said this last year and it seems like its happening again. Sometimes I think he spaces out and forgets the situation.

He’s leave hot shooters on the bench, etc.

This team was built to score in the paint and play defense. They don't play any defense.

Start Hart or Kuz. Feature BI when Bron is on bench. Rotate mins so there's enough Rondo out there with 2nd unit. We'll be good to go.

He’s been like that for THREE FREAKING YEARS.

He’s a very slow learner and his rotations constantly cost the team games. They keep happening.

He played 16.
The other option was either play BI more who was hot and cold or try Svi?
