    I've been thinking about this more, and I think that Magic may have been the one to leak this to reporters as a message to LeBron. After all, if we lose the next 2 games, who do you think is going to be knocking on the FOs door asking for answers? We've seen James do it in Miami and Cleveland, even when they were winning. Remember James came here because of Magic, not Walton. I wouldn't be surprised if this is Magic just telling LeBron he's taking care of things.

    Eh. I'm not sold. Every report says LeBron is good and he's not worried about the slow start.

    I'm more inclined to think Magic really is frustrated. That Brad Turner piece sort of points out that Magic's other LA team just lost in the World Series for the second season in a row as well. His patience is likely thin right now.

    I forgot about the World Series thing. That's a good point.

    and we don't see a problem with magic's inability to keep perspective and control his emotions?

    it was him, like, 60 days ago, telling everyone else not to freak out about something like this happening.

    handle yourself, bro.

    Figuring out who to lean on is just as much part of the system...

    We're talking two weeks into the season so there's gotta be time to figure it out, but with all those lineups, not much time for Beas, who I thought was going to be the guy that spells Bron with the pace we're trying to run at. Luke has gotta figure that out.

    Anyways, maybe we go @therealdeal 's route and we can get a coach to replace Luke in the process.

    This is from LFR on LG on Ingram. Speaks volumes to what I've been suspecting regarding coaching...

    Also... this is our November schedule:

    upload_2018-11-3_7-52-9.png

    We are going to go something like 5 - 14... which would make us 8 - 19.

    Puke's gonna be so so fired, his father would get dizzy.

    If he goes 5-14 in that schedule then I wouldn't be shocked.

    I would expect at least 8-6, this back to back this weekend is awful.

    Not a fan of Scott Brooks. I wouldn't mind seeing a Spurs assistant like Messina or Hammon. If we want to spice things up a little, perhaps Mark Jackson with Dan D'antoni as an assistant could be the perfect complement to this so-called "meme team."

    The Woj bias is that Luke is on the hot seat which was immediately refruted by the local writers with actual connections.

    Dudes, this is not some made up story... people probably overheard. I want Puke gone more than ANYONE one this site, or may be everywhere, but that is a bad bad look.

    Then again... I imagine I go ballistic if Rambis becomes the head coach.

    f***... Should have let Messina coach when he was here. He'd probably still be with us.

    DVD, Byron, Antony... and we let ONE good one slip away. f***.
