WTF? The Lakers suck balls!
« on: December 13, 2012, 09:26:38 PM »
I have yet to actually watch more than a quarter of Lakers b-ball, but everything I see and read says th Lakers are horrid. What is going on? I thought they would struggle a bit out of the gate while they learned to play as a team.  Also figured they would struggle without Nash and while learning the new system. I had no idea it would be this bad, it's like the first year after Magic retied or the year after trading away Shaq.  I don't understand how a team with so much talent can suck so bad, they are contantly getting run off the floor, what gives? How does this Lakers team battle the Spurs down to the wire then get punked by the Cavs?

Anybody watching their games have any answers?

Even in a win last night they gave up 55 points in the first half to the Wiz.  Just doesn't sound like they are playing any defense.

The defense is HORRIBLE!!!!!  Slow rotation and it's almost like they don't care.  But the transition defense has been non-existent.  If this is the way the Lakers are going to play, dump the team and start over with Dwight (okay, Kobe's not going anywhere).  D'Antoni's offense is affecting our defense.  Putting Gasol on the elbow is absolutely stupid.  Gasol was the 2nd best team in the Olympics and almost carried Spain to a gold medal.  Making him a jumpshooter is the stupidest coaching move in basketball (outside hiring Isaiah Thomas to coach or be a GM). 

I really thought D'Antoni would use assistants to help with defense but he obviously isn't.  And then making comments that he can't get players to respond?  Umm, you're the coach.  Either get through to them or sit them or resign! 

This is ridiculous!  And anyone who thinks that getting Steve Nash back is going to solve everything is just stupid.  Nash will help the offense but the offense isn't really the problem -- every team in the league is running on the Lakers - and we are making bad teams (Wizards and Bobcats) look good! 

I wish someone would explain to me why we are taking our biggest asset (two of the best big men in the league) and turning it into a deficit!

Disgusted!!!!
