Lakers: Who's the biggest reason for the Lakers demise?

[maverick1948]

Health, tbh.

Add old age to that .

[Ashy Larry]

the system .... can't have one of the best post players at the 3 point line ........... and the defense. no matter how horrid the offense looks, that shouldn't effect the defensive end.

Age, system, lack of depth. With the Lakers, defense is not simply a matter of "effort," they just don't have the horses to stop the younger, more athletic teams in the league.

Kupcrap should've been patient and stuck with Brown, who had the right idea by slowing the game down to a crawl and turning things into a grindfest. Hiring D'Antoni to coach an old, slow roster with two 7 footers was about the stupidest move I've seen a GM make in all my years watching basketball.

Problem with Mike Brown is he likes playing Jamison and he absolutely hates giving Meeks some minutes.

_efense, tbh.

Even the D-Fenders play better defense than their parent team.

Phil Jackson.....

And when you announce that it's "still your team" during the offseason and then put up an embarrassing under .500 record this far into the season, it's on you.... when you get a coach fired after only a couple of games and then continue to underachieve, it's on you....
