    6. The Lakers' fake lineups
    I get it: Anthony Brown is hurt, Kobe Bryant only plays when he wants because the entire organization kowtows to his whims, and Nick Young is Nick Young. But, oh my God, an NBA team in 2016 cannot be trotting out lineups with Metta World Peace and Ryan Kelly at small forward. Kelly is a power forward, if he's anything at all, and World Peace is no longer an NBA player.

    Larry Nance Jr. shouldn't be playing on the wing, either, but he's one of the few guys on this roster who matters beyond this season, and I've reached the point where I don't really care how Byron Scott finds those guys appropriate time.

    World Peace is shooting 29 percent -- not a typo -- and the Lakers' offense looks more confused than usual when he's out there. Blame injuries and the roster crunch, but there are a dozen D-League guys who should be getting these minutes.

    I've been saying that for weeks. Why is Vander Blue still on the Defenders? He's playing great basketball and we have a need.

    The answer: we're tanking so who cares? We're not trying to win games... If Kobe weren't playing his last games, nobody would be in the stadium. If things don't change this summer in a major way the Lakers are in HUGE trouble.

    Byron's lost the locker room
    And he's lost the players
    If he's looking for compliments
    I can only find nay sayers

    It's gonna get ugly, real ugly and it's all on management. Boron should have been fired after the first game. We should have focused immediately on player development but didn't. We should have fixed the toxic atmosphere but didn't. The disconnect in the front office is now reflected in the product on the court.

    Things need to change and change now. Yesterday. Last year.

    You're lucky I was your coach
    And that I made you a star
    Helped you find your balls
    And made you the man you are


    Now leave other people's balls alone.

    I hate you BS, it's Kobe's last couple games and I cannot watch any of those games at all. Unwatchable basketball.

    Worst coach in NBA history. HISTORY!!! If anyone in the Lakers FO had any guts to go against a member of the "family"'or showtime guys essentially, he would be fired TONIGHT. This crap can't be tolerated, the team has quit, the message needs to be sent that drastic change is needed and is coming, and that it starts now, not slowwwwwly and cautiously evaluated after the season ends. End it now, salvage what little we have left of this season by setting these poor players free from this man. Show any free agents watching that he is not gonna be here next season.

    Worthy said Huertas should start over Russell.

    Yeah that'll fix all our issues James.

    But he won't dare question his buddy.

    This is the first time I've actually lost respect for Worthy. If this were 'Antoni or Brown he'd be tearing them apart. I'm disgusted with this entire organization from the top on down for allowing this to go on.

    You hear great coaches after blowout say I gotta be better. I didn't coach a good game tonight. Byron blames everything the players. He's always been that way. He can't ever look in the mirror and realize he's the issue.

    This guy has been just horrific his last two stops and his previous stops the success was all due to having two Hall of Fame point guards. He is a f***ing joke. Get him out of here.

    ^^^ To jump on that, I can't recall ever hearing B0ron saying a loss was on him, or taking blame of any kind. Never says "I didn't have us ready to play", but instead "they/we weren't ready to play". It's never on him, never. He wants to talk about pride, and looking in the mirror, SMH.

    Boy oh boy....I cannot wait for the MAINSTREAM media to light up Byron Scott tomorrow. Because it's quite obvious that everyone within the lakers circle is going to blame this on the players and praise Scott for "putting up with this". Only 8 games left but my God, I dunno if I can take anymore of this. That's how bad it has been.

    Another game I'm glad I didn't know was on. Had to see John3:16's post on Facebook to even know to check here.
