    I blame WestBRICK. He was supposed to come to the Lakers and pick up for old Lebron

      Russ himself will be wondering how he became this bad.

    get rid of Vogel and Pelinka!

      Yeah And keep the Whiner and the Glassman till they completely fall apart. Bron, Brow and the Brick is costing Lakers 120+ million $$ next season. So you better realise this team is not getting any better next season either with only veteran minimum players making up the roster.

    Vogel is confuse with who to start and who to rotate from the preseason until now lastnite they where out rebound 43 to 66 and he still have lebron playing center who dont play defense are box out

      I see a lot of coaching decisions that I don’t understand. Your point. Having LeBron at center. Why? The only big they have is Dwight Howard but he rarely uses him. He’s a good player that’ll get you rebounds, set screens. That’s just one example. Many more. I’ve been saying this for a while. Vogel has too much talent on the team, even with injured players, to be this bad. He should be the first to go. Then there is a few management people that need to go also.

      100% on point and a next point is that he need to play Ellington who can help spread the court

      Once Vogel is the coach they’re not going nowhere bcuz he dont have a system for example clippers dont have there 2 best players and they are winning games and that’s bcuz the have a good coach who have a good system

      LeBron can’t Play defense rn cause he has to score and non of them other Lakers bums can score or get a rebound.

    Lebron has never been coached, Westbrook refuses to be coached, and Anthony won’t change his game. Putting more than 10% of blame on Vogel is crazy because he barely has half a team that he can coach and he had no say in this entire roster. Phil Jackson couldn’t make this a 500 team.

    Vogel is not at fault in the line-up LeFraud built for LAL. 🤦‍♂️ STOP making him the LeEscape goat together with Westbrook.

  8. KSI Sniipez

    March 15, 2022 at 1:15 pm

    But even if our defense gets better, our offense is basically a 1 man show, I don’t blame the role players but Westbrook constantly be having 5 points every game 🤦‍♂️

  9. Mike Howard

    March 15, 2022 at 1:23 pm

    LeBron James has never been a winner, he’s an opportunist. Bet right now he’s already looking for his next team to leach a ring off of.

  10. gorobot

    The fact they are thinking of firing Vogel is exactly why they won’t shut Lebron down. If they don’t have Lebron or AD and they let Vogel coach the young guys, if they even go 500 the rest of the year, that’s an indictment on every “star” on the team. If Vogel can get wins with Stanley Johnson, etc. Then that’s even more criticism on Lebron. “How can Vogel do better with no body’s than with Lebron and the HOFs?”

    Naw don’t blame frank. Westbrick is trashhhhhh

    the suns choked last year and thats arguably the top squad in the west. i dont think they can win it all, but they can sure be a spoiler against some western team.

    LeBron is not sitting. He’s after Kareem’s all-time points record, so as long as he’s healthy, he’s going to put up shots (while neglecting defence).

    Frank Vogel is a coach who is known for defense. He has a roster full of offensive players. He was doomed from the start. The players don’t wanna learn defense, and thats Frank’s area of expertise. If they don’t wanna listen to him, there’s nothing else he can do. If they don’t change up that squad, I think Frank should leave on his own

    LeBron AD and Westbrook should go

  16. WhYsOSeRiOus?

    these espn “analysts” will blame everybody BUT LeBen Simmons James. if its not westbrook, its vogel or its AD. BUT LEWHINE? NO, HE’S GOOD EVEN IF HE DONT DO FUCKALL ON DEFENSE

    Lakers front office is the most to blame. The Lakers have had 1 good season in the past 10 years. There’s so much dysfunction going on

  18. SOExclusive

    It’s not Vogel. It’s the team. LeBron has given up on them. Last game there was so many times he just walked and shook his head. LeBron has quit on the Lakers

    2nd: This roster of players are trash. They got no hustle or basketball IQ. They don’t pay attention to the ball or their man. Just pay attention to how they defend and get back on defense. It’s LACKLUSTER!

    LeBron still takes some blame because he wanted these guys and assembled them

  19. Joe Frazier's Left Hook

    The Russell Westbrook experience with the Lakers has become the name of the 1985 Hollywood movie, “To Live and Die in L.A.”.

    “Ha, ha,Haha, hahahaha, ha. And I thought, my jokes were bad.”

    Wittle baby lebron got his way,
    and now the coach has got to pay.

    Vogel is the worst coach in the NBA by far. He doesn’t know a damned thing about rotations, substitutions, or how to lead men. Vogel and the GM needs to be fired immediately. Neither one knows what they’re doing. He has ruined the Dynasty.

    Vogel deserves 0% of the blame in this mess of a collection of old timer player’s.. He cannot coach Westbrook, No Coach Has,, Anthony Davis When He Is Healthy Enough to Play? Will Not Change His Game.. LeBron has never been coached In The NBA.. He’s Above That… And the rest On The Laker’s? How Can Vogel Coach Them When It Takes The A Hour Just to Get to half Court?? They Are That Old.. What Other Coach Could Do Any Better??? When The Players Have All The Control Over This Team.. Please Name One??????
