Wmc 15/16: We are finally at the END! BYE BYRON!!!

This is easily the worst I've ever felt as a Laker fan. Most of the die hard I know feel the same.

It's not just the record though. In the past we had guys we could trust running the show. West, Riley, Dr Buss, Phil, etc. Even when we hit rough patches you knew those guys were all winners who would figure things out.

Now we've got two spoiled brats duking it out, the worst coach in Laker history (literally), and a rapidly aging star gunning his way into the sunset with no regard for anything.

It's time to clean house. The Buss family need to be quiet owners and bring in some fresh blood to turn things around.

 

Hope you send it somewhere it has a chance of reaching the FO. All I came up with for Doc's blast after the 2nd or 3rd game was their website feedback link. Don't know what the size limit is there, or if it would be passed along. Sirronstuff hosted a PDF of Doc's. There's also a program director at ESPN L.A. named Michael Thompson. Not the Bahamian crazy ex Laker.

 

Therealdeal , You are the real MVP

 

Ever since Kobe's Achilles injury, nearly everything has been a nightmare. The only thing that would have made these last three years worse would have been losing all our draft picks.

 

Since 2007 i have been watching the Lakers every night. I was awake at 4 or 5 in the night just to watch purple and gold. I admired Kobe and he made me a Lakers fan. I witnessed Great times with 2 championships and bad times( 2008 and Kobe's achilles). Last year we had the injuries so for me it was a tolerable season. We were really bad but at least we were trying. Also it led us to Russell and I believe this kid will be great. But this season we stink.

In sports clubs the first responsible is the ownership and the general manager. they choose the philosophy and they plan the direction. So for me accusing Byron or Kobe or other players or Gary Vitty or me or... is just meaningless. They hired Byron and discussed the plan with him. Byron is a bad coach we knew that. So what's the point of discussing about rotations gameplans etc? We knew he is bad. Nothing new there.

So i believe that Lakers owners are responsible for everything and they need to change a lot. they think that the brand name that their father created will always make them succesfull. But it won't. Yes we absolutely need a new head coach but foremost we need a new direction.

PS sorry for my english, i am from Greece.
PS2 Kobe i love you to death, but stop shooting threes...
PS3 Byron man up

 

I feel your pain,It's impossible to enjoy watching them.I force myself to, but unless there is major change in the team's season philosophy, they will be my last choice on NBA ticket during that time slot.Too many other great players and teams to watch that don't make me throw up in my mouth.....

 

You guys should man up. There are people here, like @Kobe2413 there and myself, that get up at 4 - 5AM to watch Kobe launch 17 threes. And we endure. I've done the same in 2005.

Now I know whom would I take to a foxhole with me, you soft wusses.

 

Boy, this is depressing. My goodness. I'm still here and going to keep watching games and listening on the radio. For those who wanted Byron and supported his hiring, 'we tried to tell you,' but of course it fell on deaf ears. LOL! Oh, well. Unfortunately, my guess is somewhere along the lines Kobe will get hurt, and the young kids will take over and Byron will relent on having his 'system' ran...for now, I'll keep pushing through.

 

I had no idea Boron was this bad. I guess having HOF level point guards in their prime like Chris Paul and Jason Kidd really covered a multitude of sins.

 

And this is coming from the resident optimist. Couldn't have put it any better Real.

 

Not a lot of silver linings around here right now man. Lol. That had to be the worst lost in franchise history.

 

We did, but Byron happened.

 

Well, gear up, as I said in the Byron thread, there's a good possibility we might not win another game this month.

 

Oh yeah. We're done. But last night was the worst for me. We got worked by one of the worst teams in the history of hoops.

My expectations are zero now though. I'll watch to keep track of our young guys but this team is going nowhere and wins will be few and far between.

 

Oh I like that lots!! Do a serious piece and spend the time to find the most from the heart, frustrated, lucid, smart Lakers knowledge posts he can and put it out there for the FO's and Byron's and Kobe's lunacy to be exposed on a more national platform. There's a lot of clear headed passionate comments always to be found in LB. Eff em ..... make a series out of it every couple months until ownership and club and Kobe gets it.

 

Ok. Fair enough. I'm just going to ride it out. We'll be fine. Things turn around quickly. If anything, the aftermath of his despicable season has ensured me of Byron's departure next year.
