    33 games into the season, in a season that we don’t have a lottery pick and I’m convinced winning games isn’t the top priority this season, which is quite concerning.

    Some combination of appeasing KCP/LeBron, screwing over Randle and Luke’s incompetence in important areas have taken over and pushed winning down the priority ladder.

    This 2018 plan better come to fruition because as a franchise I didn’t think we could get any lower than the Dwight Stay billboards, but now I’m questioning if this is worse.

    Starting to feel like this being handled more and more poorly. Players don't seem to know where they really stand in regards to future plans. All they keep hearing about is 2 Max players in the offseason. Randle has come into this year the best shape of his life and is rewarded like this. It is quite sad actually. Like Doc Brown said, this plan better work because this "look" isn't a good one.

    We are a mess. New coach, Magic and Rob... and it all still feels like s***. Years of sucking are hard to wash off i guess. If the "big" FO's plan fails, we're screwed.

    Team's performing about as I feared but I do like the strides from Ingram and of course the emergence of Kuzma. The front office made a number of decisions including going all in on free agency this summer and beyond and we're living with that. I have no doubt its impacting how Luke coaches the team.

    If we score some big free agents then all will be forgotten.

    This season sure, pointless to fire him now but hes not a magic/palinka hire n magic has already given luke subtle jabs. We need coach that has their own system n ideas....i still believe luke is copying n no innovating in terms of his style

    Oh yeah, I get all of that, but I can't see them pulling the plug on him at this point. I could definitely be wrong especially if one of the free agents wants someone else

    The Bulls (12-22) have a better record than us (11-22).

    That's where I'm at; it's whatever at this point to me. I keep up on them on Lakersball, but I already feeling myself feeling disinterested and will check out much like you.

    It's becoming a joke.

    I have to admit I skipped the last two games. Frankly I'm not interested in seeing us without Lonzo at this point. Despite all the media's stupidity about him being a bust, etc. and whining about his scoring, if you actually watch games like we do you can see he controls the entire pace of the game. Also we have no one else out there creating looks for anyone else so the offense just mires at times with him out. A whole game without him? Unwatchable to me. Luke has no other semblance of an offense and won't play Randle so I'm done until Lonzo is back.

    Pretty much ditto. I caught the last quarter or so of the Wolves game and then more later on replay, but I didn’t watch a second of the Grizzlies game. I had a family thing to attend was the main reason, but honestly I forgot the game was on anyway. I will always love the Lakers and I’ll end up watching most of the games this season same as usual, but it’s not enjoyable at this point. When Zo is out we just really lack something like you said, and I don’t care to watch KCP chuck and see Randle sit on the bench for 37 mins, or watch Lopez lumbering behind when he returns. I’m here to watch Zo and Kuzma play, watch Ingram grow, and in a surprising turn from the start of the season, watch Randle do work. If the FO and the coach don’t care about some of those things why should I care to watch. Plus every loss we pile up gets Boston a better draft pick and that’s almost too much to stomach.
