    Making the locker room sound chaotic would also benefit those on the team who want Luke gone.

    Anything that has gone wrong this year and for the next three years will be 100% LeBron’s fault to be honest

    1. this is what happens when you give a young coach young players and the island of misfitting veteran toys.
    2. i think folks are starting to feel the pressure of missing the playoffs, which is starting to feel more likely than not.
    3. if luke has lost the locker room...who cares? almost none of these people will be here 8 months from now.
    4. the reporting continues to astonish me. i mean, i guess the people hate the lakers, so it plays well with most of the audience. but it doesn't bother them at all that they're selling their journalistic integrity down the river? i mean, that's what woj and shams have traded on for the most part: simple reporting.

    I was cautiously optimistic that Magic’s status would be enough to stop Lebron’s passive aggressive agenda to blow up the roster and coaching staff, as he’s done everywhere he’s been. Sadly, we’re here now. Players are on edge about being traded, and Luke appears to be losing control of the team. Lebron has struck again. His traveling team demolition has made it to LA and it’s full steam ahead.

    Disagree. This try to trade the young guys for superstars, cap space, 1 year only players, no continuity or reassurance has been going on before Lebron got here. It’s been the trend ever since we started the cap space plan.

    And to the Luke topic, his inadequacies as a head coach were apparent before we got a superstar, veteran players and the focus was on winning. Everyone put it off as growth with the young guys and he would improve when the time comes....

    Well the time has come and he still has the same inadequacies and hasn’t put anyone around him that can cover up for them. Why is everyone surprised when the stakes are higher this stuff happens? He has to step it up too.

    Attitude reflect leadership coach. Do better.

    The over exaggeration by the national media is getting ridiculous.

    Everyone is uneasy. Players don't know if they should start packing and the coach is trying to coach for his job and prove to Magic and Bron that he should be kept on.

    Stir in losing a game you let get away that you could've won against the champs and you've got a recipe for a testy locker room. Probably nothing serious. Probably is already over with. But worth keeping an eye on if it continues because it gives Magic his out for replacing him with his guy if he wants.

    I almost felt sorry for Luke with the vets turning on him . . . almost.

    Luke's a good guy, I don't dislike him at all. But he's in over his head and it's been showing this year. As a developmental coach for the kids I was all in. For a Lebron led team with the clock ticking to get a championship in the next couple years? No way. I don't see it. But just say no to J. Kidd.

    Hate to say it, but the way they lost the game yesterday felt like a rotations/coaching problem. They had a 9 point lead and momentum. Sure, Klay and Curry had yet to heat up. But Rondo was taken out and not re-inserted until it was too late. Beasley being put into the game only to have him take a stupid first shot followed by a Laker turnover led to a mini-run that got GS going. The lineup that was in the game when they gave up the lead made zero sense. That has to be on Luke. Its only 1 game but made zero sense. Kuzma and Ingram were out most of that run. While Kuz was part of the TO problem - Ingram was on fire and only started to press when the momentum shifted and the Lakers started to panic.

    I am glad I was correct then. Not very familiar with those types of cookies, but I assumed it’s something that our coach and several of our players would be OK with.

    We so ****ing need a "Crying Popovich" gif made for when this AD trade goes through. This a-hole has been pulling that **** against us since the Gasol bros trade.
