I believe the FO do not share your concerns, so I wouldn't worry about it. |
No one cares what you believe. |
True that |

Honestly some dudes should chill with the personal attacks. It makes the forum hard to read. |

Defensively, they just aren't there yet. Not even close. With the personnel they have, it's a tough sell to say they will even get there next season. They need upgrades all around the board. When Young and Russell return, they'll resume outscoring teams and make a late push for that 8th seed, but fall short due to the same defensive woes that have plagued them all season (last in paint scoring, last in opponent fg%, last in bpg, no rim protection, etc, etc). See the defensive rankings thread for further elaboration.
In contrast, the Grizzles are still winning games with a third of their roster injured. Those d-league guys earning peanuts don't even worry about getting embarrassed. They'll defend every game like it's their last. I don't see anyone playing with that level of fire on the Lakers, and maybe it's just a personnel issue. |

I don't agree with any comment in this thread, but why do you have to roast VLF like that _________________ Austin Reaves

I don't really see it. He seems to disagree with a lot of people and I can disagree with him too, but I rarely see him taking shots at people. Clutters the forum and honestly it's pretty childish. |

He does. Basically calls everyone stupid without actually saying they are stupid. Hiding the name calling is smart though.
Oh and if you need any evidence just go to the Luke Walton thread and see him taking shots at Jim for no real reason. |

Defense isn't close to good enough to make the playoffs. It's just as bad as when Byron coached. So it's clearly not the coaching on that end. |

They have to win around 42-44 games to even sniff the playoffs.....they won't be doing that with guys injured and now with a lengthy losing streak. I think a lot of fans would be happy with vastly improved record over 17 wins....anything over 30+ wins is a win in my book. |

This game ruined our chances of getting there on our own.
It is now no longer up to ourselves alone, we also need other teams to do poorly and get hurt. You never want to be in that situation _________________ Kobe |

He does do it but I do not think on a daily basis.
Personally, I enjoy this harmless bantering. |

This. I kinda notice that too (that vlf takes shots at Jim). |

The defense is different now than it was with Byron, it is just a case of players getting comfortable with it and learning to play it next to their teammates. If it isn't better in February than now I would worry. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

To me, at this point the Memphis game has been the turning point thus far in the season.
They were in great shape to take that game and end up at .500 with their players and a soft stretch coming up.
The refs went into overdrive and the Lakershad that game ripped away from them.
They have seemed dejected since. _________________ Llluuukkkeee |

I have no confidence that this team can even win another NBA game with idiotic defense like this. I don't know what happened but they hella regressed |

This season is officially over. We're only in games because of vets and we'll have too many wins to keep the top 3 pick in a loaded draft. |

Need to start looking for trades of vets at deadline if this team is 10+ games below 500 in February |

I cannot look at this core and be like hmm we'll be great in a few years! We're not OKC from 2010 after we beat them. If you have to sacrifice a young guy(preferably Randle) then let's do it. _________________ Go LA! |
