| I have changed my prediction to 80-2. This loss was clearly a fluke and it won't happen again. |

The ever changing title makes me laugh without fail.

| Is it too early to say 1-81? I think if we go 1-30 or 40, kobe will come back and drop 60 again to get a win finally so thats a positive. |

| I don't now man. I think the Lakers may lose at least one more game. Maybe two. |

| Not too early at all. This is only a two loss team. Jordans Bulls were a ten loss team. |

I mean lets look at this rationally
DLO>>Jordan
Ingram>>>> Pippen
Randle>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rodman
Nance>>>>>>>Kukoc
Huertas>>>>Kerr
Luke>>Phil
MAYBE you could say that Jack "Boozer to LA" Haley was better than MWP, but other than that, it's not even close |

What's happening to Walton is what happens to any coach as he tries to get lineup advantage in order to win games. This is nothing new particularly when you don't have any superstar players on your team and your talent is weak and inexperienced. The only thing as a coach you can do is experiment with different lineups in order to try to have some advantage in certain situations. Every game become a chess game and you try to put the guys who are playing the best at that moment and hope they can give you a win.
This is unlike coaches with Durants, Curry, Kobe Shaq etc. in which you know what your starting lineup is going to be and what your bench will be like for most of the season. Life is a piece of cake for the Phils, and Kerr's of the world.
I've noticed fans on this forum are too hard on coaches, it's going to take time for Walton to know exactly what his guys can really do. Right now they're growing themselves along with their coach trying to find their game and gain confidence. There's no way anyone can expect this team to win more than 25 games. Honestly that's a lot of games in my book particularly in this tough conference. |

Russell is not the reason we are not winning more games even if we know he can play better. I have no doubt that someone more ready to play the role of primary distributor would help, but we have a lot of work to do on defense, boxing out, grabing boards, rotations ... we are not a John Wall away from relevancy and among our young core Russell is closer to be the solution than he is to be part of the problem. Our team is just not that good, we have to be patient because it takes time to develop young guns and at their level we are not attracting the kind of free agents that could help us in the win/loss column. |
