    What if www.fireluke.com has to become a real site?

    He was supposed to be our Jerry Sloan.

    Jerry Sloan? :Crazyartest:

    Oh yeah I'm sure Jerry Sloan was big with the nice guy everyone is drawn to personna and in letting the team play music during their practices.

    How about Steve Kerr?

    I mean a 30 year coaching solution, that was a great coach. He didn't lose because of coaching, but because a lack of talent and MJ.

    right now I can't see 30 years of Luke. Hopefully he turns it around.

    Difficult to really gauge this team when the injuries are starting to mount again... Lopez, Ball, Ingram are key components in how we do on the floor (Walton's odd rotations aside). We have been very competitive with a full deck.

    I sat through the Wolves game even if I knew what the outcome was going to be.

    We look like a team thats on the edge of just saying "screw it, we're tanking".

    We've been competitve in all but two games. I agree with Magic in that assessment.

    I do too but the team meeting makes me worry. Hopefully it cleared the air and guys can keep playing through it but my concern level is rising again.

    Is anyone clear whether Luke was in the meeting too or was it players only? Some guy tweeted like it was just "Players" ..... (you dummies)

    I’m really tired of being the whipping boy of the freakin floppers! At some point enough has got to be enough. 4 straight years of sitting in the cellar and right now we’re on pace to giving a really good pick to freakin Boston or Philly. 2nd year in a row with practically the same cast and no improvement team wise whatsoever. We still suck defensively, can’t shoot threes, and now can’t make free throws, and we expect the likes of PG and LeBron to be interested in us in free agency? Really?! If that’s the case then I seriously want some of what Magic is smoking because no top flight player in their right mind is gonna want to join a joke of a team who can’t seem to put it together when it matters most. At this point if we win 30 games period, I’ll be shocked. If we do I’ll eat these word happily but right now we’re looking absolutely pathetic.

    No sense of urgency in this team. Even Luke doesn't give a s***

    I'm not going to pile on. With no Lonzo we just aren't any good. With him we're competitive. It sucks because we had a stretch of winnable games but when Ingram and then Lonzo went down our fate was set. Hopefully Lonzo comes back after the two game road stretch.

    I guess that heart to heart team meeting really worked. And also it just shows how valuable lonzo is to the team. Damn this team looks so bad.

    I fast forwarded the game to the middle of the 4th quarter with the LP archive expecting the Lakers to trail big ... and it was the case .

    Different season , same s***

    If we are relying on a 20 year old rookie to be the main cog in our offense then we have bigger problems than I thought.

    Here's when a vet back up point guard can help but here we are with a SG in JC and the dynamic duo of Ennis and Caruso.

    The pb is the total lack of offense .

    Walton is doing fine according to non Lakers "experts" though .

    It's expected from a young team , poor roster and all that usual crap ....

    Disaster. To look like that after a team meeting against the Clippers? The Clips aren't even that good; and this was Blake's first game back. Completely inexcusable.

    Boston is sure happy right now. We have the 3rd worst record in the league.
