    Its a Laker home game. In any case, Staples Center is our house, we should take care of opponents in our house.

    It's pretty laughable Lebron is not able to get it done with a stacked HOF lineup next to him...He's got AD/Dwight/Melo/Westbrook. He thought he would get to coast in the regular season and get an easy path for a ring ring. This isn't the (L)Eastern JV Conference and the results have shown he's only going to have work double to even get into the 1st round.

    Instead of dealing with the actual problem, they will probably just replace Frank.

    I think that might be necessary too. He's not an offensive mind, he doesn't know how to optimize the Big 3 either. Basically Mike Brown again

    Well, once again, our F.O. Gave an ill fitting roster, that was comprised of defensively challenged players, to a defense first coach. This is on them, AD and LeBron.

    The problem is both the roster construction AND the coaching.

    I really hate watching this team. Hard to watch a bunch of guys who give a half-a***d effort every night.

    Lebron/AD are on track to realize the most embarrassing season from two top 10 players AND nothing is their fault !

    the roster construction is partly their fault, as is the team-wide lack of effort.

    Partly? It was their idea. It only happened because they wanted. Most likely Lebron and then AD followed along because he's beta.

    The team made its choice with Westbrook and the current roster. That ship has sailed.

    the staff has to adjust or they won’t last the season. Comments and lack of effort make me feel like the team won’t be sad to see the current staff go honestly.

    I had trouble sleeping last night because I was pissed off at the way we played the last couple minutes. It’s pretty bizarre when I feel like I care more than our stars. Wake the hell up players.
