Wasn't talking about you Raven, so why you injecting yourself in my tirade? Knew we would suck but this is baaaad. Looks like we keep our pick again.
^what do you mean another year? I predicted at least a decade without wins after the elimination against dallas, so there's still some time left for things to get worse.

it is either the Nets or they are starting 0-12![]()
..their only next winnable game is vs the Blazers at home
I don't know why did you expect it to be better tbh
will they win 20 games all season, TBH? even other West doormats looks better than them from talent standpoint and how to play basketball (Minny, Denver, Blazers ..etc)..The East at the bottom is collectively better bar maybe the Nets..
Byron Scott says he is not worried...
After watching Kobedy throw up another air 3 AND THEN NOT GETTING BACK ON D!
Seriously, you can be a bad shooter and still help your team, yet neither coach or player get it. Its all about the Kobe's shots not falling? Why not try playing D, moving the ball around, setting screens, cut to the basket without the ball?
Jesus...
Meh, you'll be out of the dark alley soon enough.
I'll be honest didnt think our defense could get worse, took Byron at his word though I was firmly against his hire. I Wanted a Brad Stevens type (Ollie?), a young top assistant like Luke or someone from the Pop or RC tree. Plus I knew Kobe was never gonna be the same post achilles but he looks worse than last year ...which would be ok if he stopped taking so many difficult shots ... urggggggghhhhh!!!!!! not sure I want to attend when they come here anymore ...last time I went we beat the Mavs ass and Kobe played well neither are happening this season.
let's analyze the starting 5. Lin is defensively the same as Russell, but the second is a rookie while the first was fighting for his career. Kirby vs Clarkson this one debatable because Clarkson is awful, but I guess he still gets the nod. Wes Johnson vs Kirbi here there is a 10 point swing, wes is literally in the league just for that even though he sucks. Boozer vs Randle Boozer wins easily on size and experience alone, Randle has no clue and is dumb. Jordan Hill vs Hibbert Hibbert wins easily. Still, I don't see how you could expect the defense to improve when you have no perimeter defender on the roster.
Brooklyn is their only best hope, but it's on the road right ? Won't be easy.
Portland is actually quite talented, in this kinda form i really don't see Lakers beating them.
Thanks for starting it. Really it gave me a good laugh. And its the joke that keeps on giving.
Im sorry but even as a rook I think Randle is better than Boozer on defense. At least Randle can move his feet in pnr and block a few shots. Wes johnson is an athlete but sucks on defense too ... cant argue the rest. But better offense would help our defense we are not even doing that well.
it. 0-82! Let's aim for the cesspool or reaches. B.Scott, that loser. the FO for its inability to do anything right. Oh well, I've still got the Kings.
boozer was actually decent on D in the latter part of his career, randle is no way near that level, sorry.
Really? Boozer on a team of elite defenders had to be yanked by Tibbs in crucial moments. Again, Randle is a rookie.
Many on here told yall this. We explained how bad you would be. How no one wants to play in La. How they can't and won't land FAs. How Kobe & the FO sold the fans ketchup Popsicles.
Spurs fans know more about Lakers than Laker fans.
A rookie learning from a terrible coach and even worse defense. Learning from Kobe who's an egotistical jerk. Kobe who keeps chuckling. Who loafs on defense and refuses to get back. Does not bode well for young players development.
They were selling your .
They sold a lot of it in 2014. Stop living in the past old parrot.![]()
None of that . We're livin' in the past.
They were stringing your ropes.
I am sure they strung the ropes in 2014.![]()
Some provided solid reasoning like yourself others were just wishing for the worst. So far though you guys were right.
Everyone knows how bad the Lakers are going to be especially with post achilles Kobe on board, this is not some sort of unveiled prophecy guys![]()
The day FA don't come to LA post Kobe is the day everyone should be worried about. BUt that's not going to happen cuz.
I thought they would be bad not this bad. I admit I only predicted about 30-32 wins that is only a 9 game improvement and that was counting on good health from Kobe and Randle. Kobe even if healthy is doing more harm than good right now ...
I think Spur fan is underestimating the draw of Los Angels. But the key is getting the right coach even with the bickering owners a great coach with clear vision and a good system would make a huge difference. Sure stars like Russ Davis etc can be big anywhere but nothing is like L.A. but you have to give them a reason to come ... Byron and Kobe are not that ...
