KBLO (1-1) Presents: Lakers (2-8) @ Suns (5-4) - 11/16/15|9EST

[iamworthy]

Too many TO's, too many second chance points,too many easy buckets in the paint for the Suns. Not even mad about where we're at, simply put the young guns just gotta start getting it.

Yep, nights like these are part of the process, no matter how ugly it gets.

Part of the process would be for the young trio to show a leap in there performances. what we have learned so far is that Russell still has not had a break out game and Randle looks VERY raw and inconsistent...

Now I see why the Lakers tried hard to acquire Cousins... Randle/Russell/Clarkson look more like future role players then future stars and you know I'm right.

Vander Blue looks more NBA ready than Huertas

[DEEP3CL]

I'm more disappointed with Julius than anybody else, JR brings no energy on the road and his numbers show it. He looks to get flustered the minute he picks up a couple of fouls. Great players learn to play with foul trouble....I know it can be done because I've seen it done.

But some of this is on Scott...as usual, he didn't stop that run when the second unit started failing. Call a damn time out or make a sub, he coaches too robotic.

I don't think anything has frustrated me as a lakers fan more than Byron Scotts post game conferences where he continually blames players for everything, accuses them of being soft and needing to man up, and never ever putting anything on himself. It's beyond aggravating

Rebounding is an issue.

I've noticed this from Randle. Where has his aggressiveness gone? I wanted to see more Randle be more like his Mavs game.

Brandon Bass - 6'7
Alex Len - 7'1

Hmm...

Those of you who were wanting Scott as head coach - shame on you. I was hoping for G.Karl - He would have turned Randle/Russell to Payton/Kemp < Dreaming.

the wind whispers "pay Kevin Ollie wayyyy too much....or is it just enough?"

That was no one. If you see people defending him, it's because there are, believe it or not, worse coaches out there.

Go to any team's board with a losing record, and they think their coach is an idiot.

Also, I know most of you aren't used to watching young players develop, but this is how it usually goes, unless you get a LeBron or Duncan. Even Kobe took a bit before he really started to have good showings. I mean, it's like a dozen games in, don't get too worked up over nothing...

And maybe don't over-expect too much either. Randle is not likely going to be premier player in this league, and neither is Clarkson. Russell... well here's hoping.

Back in the day b4 Kobe came to the Lakers I use to be a player follower and knew a whole lot more about the entire league - these days though I'm just a Kobe/Laker follower and don't know much else apart from allstars lol - how times have changed

Rebounding is an issue.

Yup. Having no true backup C doesn't help. Other than Hibbert we're pretty short across the front line.

We're getting out rebounded every night. That's truly our biggest problem right now. Unfortunately it's not something that can be fixed by playing harder.

Randle has to get it done.

Hibbert and Bass have a history of not rebounding consistently. Randle, shorter arms and all, HAS to make that a priority.
