Stephen A is correct…Bron, when you say we can’t shoot in the first game of the season…do you expect the boys to be able to shoot for the rest of it? Look up self fulfilling prophecy, look up negative psychology, look up losing mentality

Listen man…stop bringing up KCP, Kuzma and those guys. They stunk it up the year after the championship run and relied heavily on AD and LeBron to do everything. They were unreliable shooters. Yes they were better defenders but at the time it was a regular statement across ALL media that the Lakers needed better shooting. The problem is Pelinka is not good with trades. If he gets shooters he throws away defense. If gets good defenders they can’t shoot. If he gets reliable players they are too old. If he gets young players they are trash. He just always chooses the wrong thing every year.

Everybody missing the fact that you don’t need to only score 3s. You can score in the midrange. Now can Lebron play that way? Score and/or pass for midrange scoring ??

well first of those 3 haven’t played much together, so there could be something still. However, all signs are pointing in the opposite direction. Westbrook with his salary and what the lakers had to give up for him is costing them probably 2 championship attempts.

“LeBron James is the biggest culprit in the Lakers rough start” ??? It’s only been 2 games! There’s no need to panic or hide in a bomb shelter. These are just 2 Regular Season games – they have 80 games left. If Russell Westbrook would have pitched in with just 10-15 pts, they would have won the last game vs. the Clippers. We know LeBron is doing just fine. He blasted through the Clippers defense and slammed home a massive dunk. He’s 37 yrs old and still rocking the rim! Fans are saying that the team is not built well around LeBron, but these are professionals. They go through ups and downs.

LAL ruined their future with LeBron. yes, got AD, got 1 chip. a BS one with the bubble but whatever. but trading for AD and then Russ, i think they dont have a 1st round pick til 2027. they had Lonzo, Ingram, Hart, Kuzma. that was a young solid core that just needed development. What is Ingram doing in NO? pretty good. Lonzo is doing good in NO, and now in CHI. Kuzma is doing pretty good in DC. LeBron is probably out after this year, so then what for the LAL? AD who keeps getting hurt? any good free agents really gonna go there?

SAS is slipping! Rob creates rosters. LBJ is not Owner, GM or Coach. He’s a paid player with influence i.e. KD or Curry. Russ was a mistake 2 yrs ago. Owners/GMs w/their checkbooks move on.
J West would not be in this quicksand. Buss has Rob, Rambis, Phil and is satisfied. LBJ is scapegoat for front office ineptness.

Lakers are a joke. Get Larry Bird out of retirement. Larry would still shoot better than the entire Lakers team. Lebron’s Lakers LOL!
