Rewatched the game, yeah it’s not the players fault anymore. There’s no scheme out there, of course players are going to do their own thing

I get it.
But they were there. And they let it go...
Again.
This is the second game BI goes ISO crazy in the 4th. Luke has to make him learn.
50/50what are the odds that walton is fired before the all star break?
I think it's a combination of roster and coaching. Outside of Lance, Ingram is the only guy who can really create something consistently off the dribble...but instead of clearing out at the top of the key, he should really be operating out of the midpost. I'd like to see a lineup of KCP, Hart, Lance, BI and Javale/Tyson/Zu (pick one) down the stretch that way we have two guys who can create instead of just relying on one guy. Maybe Luke feels like we need Lonzo's "shooting" so maybe that could be his logic for going with him over Lance...or just trying to develop the young guys who'll be here in the long run over those that definitely aren't in our long term plansRewatched the game, yeah it’s not the players fault anymore. There’s no scheme out there, of course players are going to do their own thing
Don't forget, BI needs to average at least a 20ppg this season and Lonzo Ball will be the new face of the franchise, break most of Magic's records and one day have his jersey retired by the Lakers. Trying to think of another franchise that places those type of expectations on their young playersI just think the Lakers in general are not the best at developing talent
fell like they gotta let him go at this point50/50
You don't learn by benching a young player for making mistakes. Luke should be running more plays for him to get him the ball while on the move instead of Iso everything. He's decent at it but with no real shooters around & a closed floor he struggles.
All of our losses are coming in the end of games due to mistakes, that is gonna happen with young squads idk why people are still surprised by this.
We were playing the ******* Knicks who had won 9 games all year. Also had lost 8 straight. Sure on paper we suck but you actually have to watch the games and see how ******ed we played.Ball
Hart/Svi
KCP/Lance
Ingram/Beasley
McGee/Chandler/Zu
Are the lakers going to get any free agents?
Lebron masks a lot of Luke’s deficiencies. Also our high transition rate masks our inefficient half court offense.Why are you guys so adamant on dropping Luke if we're just gonna play Bron ball no matter who the coach is? Outside of some terrible rotations, he was decent to start the year. Then bron came out and said he doesn't pay him any attention and ignores calls. Dude is gonna do what ever he wants to do because he truly believes he knows everything. No coach can compete with that. Coaches now have to coach against the other team and #23.
Nah.
Luke just does too much dumb ****. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that first year because a lot of it seemed like tank moves but he just continues doing dumb **** every season. First it was not playing anyone over 30mpg, then the BS with Randle, now Lebron's rotations to start the year, Kuz at center even after getting Chandler, complete and utter lack of an offensive system etc. He does things no other coaches do thinking he's being innovative when he's just making a fool of himself. He's just not built for this I don't think. I think he's meant to be an assistant
Only thing good I can say is that the team seemed to rally around him last year when lavar said he should be gone and this year when magic chewed him out. So it seems like guys like him they just don't respond to him. Or he just doesn't know how to coach them
Even if it took a bit for Walton to figure out exactly how James was comfortable in the rotation. There was a game in Minnesota early in the season when Walton removed James just five minutes into the game in an effort to set the rotation so James could finish each quarter. James was, to put it mildly, mystified.
