    I appreciate Lebron not throwing Vogel under the bus even though the questions were baiting him pretty hard. When asked about rotations and lack of continuity, he said "you still have to go out there and do your damn job".

    Despite Vogel's flaws, he's the guy for whom I have the most sympathy. No way in hell he had anything to do with that offseason lol

    vogel was the perfect hire for the 19-20 team because it was a defensive minded team and he's a defensive coach

    not his fault they gave away all the defensive talent for a bunch of washed up shooters

    6 turnovers? Making up for Westbrook absence. We need to move him this off-season and rebuild. The window is closed.

    This was a terrible game by Lebron. The way he played in the fourth was such a letdown from the leader of your team.

    he's been putting his personal production ahead of the team since he got back from injury, imo. he's great at hiding it, too, as he's taken zero heat from fans and the press.

    everybody goes right after vogel, or AD, or russ (more sensibly). but who's supposed to be the GOAT/mvp candidate?

    the dominant story is AD not taking a shot in the 4th--does that happen if you have great leadership? you telling me they called plays, ran actions, encouraged him to shoot and he just refused? nah.

    the big dogs have quit, and they should both have to bear it, not just one. especially not the one who's the franchise's only long-term hope.

    Russ was brought in by LeEgo to distract and fend off Father Time to become the all time scoring leader. If they win a title in the process, groovy.

    He's just laying the ground work for the mutiny, if Vogel is still around after next work. Sick out...AD might join him..lol

    I hope he waves the white flag ala 2018/2019.

    Time to pump up Westbrook's value for a summer trade (pipe), develop the kids like THT, Reaves and Stanley. Back to the drawing board this summer

    Lol..the Westbrook thing doesn't change one bit during the off-season. He can opt out and kill any trade he doesn't want. The best thing for the Lakers, is to play Westbrook and try to make it work. That way there are actual options on the table. If he responds well, reup him at a lower salary to keep him, or now he can be traded anywhere, ala Trezl.

    you keep saying this--but you know how awesome it would be for westbrook to opt out? just an incredible stroke of luck. he's only opting out if we offer an extension, which i think may be off the table after his recent shenanigans.
