"You can see they're not playing for Luke no more," LaVar said from the spa resort in Birstonas where he is staying while his two youngest sons get ready to make their professional debuts. "Luke doesn't have control of the team no more. They don't want to play for him."
"That's a good team," he added of the Lakers, who have lost nine straight games. "Nobody wants to play for him. I can see it. No high five's when they come out of the game. People don't know why they're in the game. He's too young. He's too young. ... He ain't connecting with them anymore. You can look at every player, he's not connecting with not one player."
"Lonzo looked good, but he also looked disgusted," LaVar said. "He was ready to play. Four minutes left in the first quarter, he dunked it, getting in a flow and coach sits him down. Sat him down. Now game goes from 4 points to 10 to 15 to 20. I don't know what they're doing. if he's ready to play, let him play. Don't try and monitor no minutes, put on restrictions."
"Even if you bring in a LeBron or a (Paul) George, he can't coach them guys," he said. "What is he gonna tell them? He's too young. He has no control."
