He just came back into the game and acts like he can take over the game. It takes time to get that stamina up and that was a poor decision and he needs to be held accountable for it.Quote:

Yeah, it's definitely not ideal, but our core has been together for almost two years so it's not as though we're starting from scratch. If we play with a sense of urgency, I really don't think it will matter unless we're playing the Clippers, in which case it might be tough, but I'd till bet on the lakersQuote:

I think he's kind of just been easing his way back at a comfortable pace but it's time to stop messing around and turn that switch on..that goes double for everyone else
So we can put the blame on LebronQuote:

That is reality.Quote:

Yep, we won't get it done if we don't play with urgency, but I think that would still be the case even if we had all the chemistry in the world and guys had never gotten hurt. I think when everyone was healthy everything was too easy and so guys let up and we didnt really change our attitude when everyone went down. I think now is the time to step up. LBJ is the leader so I think guys will follow his lead and he knows what it takes so I fully expect him to lead in this situation.Quote:

Safe night, fellas. You too ShadowX. You just do what you gotta do. lol
I think deep inside, Lakers have a problem that is hidden deep. Not all players are on the same page and some hold a grudge. For instance, when they got Drummond, Marc Gasol's time got cut drastically and he is not happy. That type of resentment will affect the team chemistry and its showing up in subtle ways.Quote:

Absolutely. AD has been kind of being a weenie all year long, but now is the time to show it and if he doesn't he will get it pretty bad from the LA media and fanbase and rightfully soQuote:

May I remind you that last year just before playoffs and into the 1st round of playoffs we looked not so great to many where some TV commentators confidently said we were going to Lose to Blazers? How did that turn out?Quote:

Damn that’s so sexy! That’s why you are one of my favorites on here. Standing up for your team and fellow fans 😁😁Quote:

Don't like losing to them
AS, LBJ, DS and KCP 2-19 from 3 line
DS 4-13 overall
Not going to win many games like that
Inexcusable loss. Lakers are an absolute pathetic product right now. LeBron and AD on the court and we lose to the Queens... without Fox? Changes need to be made and that begins with Vogel and his coaching.
