Ok, I've seen enough. Barely above .500, getting beat by the PISTONS. Lebron doesn't deserve this. Sack the man.

Honeymoon phase is over
The lakers should probably try and get some bench pieces..
Can’t blame no free agents for wanting to go to that shitshow though :lol
Lol, the Lakers were, what, 3-0 and people were acting like JJ was the 2nd coming of Christ. Sports fans are perpetual prisoners of the moment, if nothing else.
Honestly should have been sacked after Bronny's first DNP-CD. Theres no excuse for that.
Bronny was a DNP-CD again last night and look what happens. Lost to the ****ing Pistons.
The Lakers need a head coach who "gets it."

Even when they were 3-0, their defense was really, really awful though.
JJ already has the finals date circled out in the calendar. There is no way the top 2 highest IQs in basketball with a stacked team (Dad and Kobesque son-last to leave the gym) can ever lose this.

Don't insult Bronny like that please.
Heard some interesting info on their defense. Prior to the Detroit game the Lakers were 11th in half court defense but their transition defense is so bad their overall defense was 26th.
Counting the 2nd half of the Toronto game and the first half against Detroit.... LA was outscored 141-108.
Not good
Whaddaya say, Bronies? Ready to throw JJ under the bus and give him the old heave ho yet?
Whatever I've seen of Reddick is that he still doesn't have a coach's temperament. In this league and at this level, that's not optional.
Maybe this is a lesson to front offices, that just because you're impressed with someone's commentary on TV, doesn't mean they should be your franchise's coach. You need a little more experience in that role than coaching his own sons' youth basketball team.
The Lakers are 6th in the league in offensive efficiency compared to 15th last year. Their big problem is transition defense. They lack perimeter athleticism and obviously LeBron and AD aren't going to be that motivated to hustle back on D at this time of year.
They are 11-8, not 8-11. Too early to hit the panic button.

Now they're 12-11. For some context, last year at the same point under Darvin "Ham-Fisted" Ham they were 14-9.
Just sayin'.
