    This is all Rob's fault.

    We're arguing over a dude who probably would have been in China or we didn't sign him and an undrafted rookie as our starting SG.

    What a joke.

    Rob, do better.

    lol. you'd think the clippers won by 1000. ok twitter guys.

    i'm sure vogel would have played tall wings who could defend if he had more than one of them.

    Really depends.

    Frank is kind of losing me, but I'm just frustrated with the season.

    I do think he will be the scapegoat this year, though.

    Rob is the guy who seriously needs to be under fire, IMO.

    Every game that goes by - I just get more angrier with him more than anybody else.

    Lol.

    this is my point. this guy clearly has committed to a story and isn't going to be persuaded by anything.

    i'm fine with the team firing vogel after the season; it's not like he's distinguished himself this year, and nba coaches get fired all the time.

    but again, he's not the reason we're bad. injuries and poor roster construction are primarily why we're bad.

    why'd we give him deandre jordan? and then why did one of our executives come out of the booth to tell him to play deandre jordan more?

    Yeah, I just thought it was funny.

    Have to laugh.

    Season has inspired more tears than laughs, unfortunately.

    All that aside...Morris hit a tough shot, and Jackson attacked a rookie and hit another big shot. AD missed on a good look. It didn't go our way, some things could have been done differently. Still to have the ball in your best player's hands on the final play, with a decent look to win, you gotta live with the result.

    There is a lot of griping about the roster, but when we lose, there is always griping about who shouldn't have been on the floor instead of some guy on the bench. Curious thing. It's either the roster or how it's being used. Combination of both?

    my gripes are generally about there being no good options as opposed to bad options chosen. but both happen.

    oh, and that shot morris hit was VERY difficult. people were acting like it was some wide open look. he had to fake, step, regather and hit it with a guy behind him.

    take your hat off to him and be mad that he's going 3-12 against whoever they play next.

    Except Rob is not in charge of anything. Maybe he has marginally more say than when Magic was in charge, but the real power looks like this. And there's a reason Rob is barely in the picture.

    Yeah. Frank has pretty much lost me. He just isn’t helping himself and is being plain stubborn with how he distributes minutes.

    I also can’t fault the Twitter guys for just saying the same stuff most of us are saying in the game thread. The good ones back it up with data.

    i'm excited for the replacement-level coach that gets us those 8-9 extra wins per 50 games. we should win 60 games next year with the same roster and injury issues, i think.

    It will be a completely different roster once again.

    And if it's Handy and you watch BackStage Lakers, he has a good basketball mind.

    Will it equate to an extreme 8 wins? Idk.

    I would say let's surround him with high quality assistants. But Jeanie is cheap.

    So there's that...lol
