Dwight and AD already fighting in game 2 of the season, jeez, what a trainwreck. LeBron deserves better than this.

I need to know what drugs Pelinka was on when he put together this roster so I can take them when I watch the Lakers.

Bridges is an awesome defender. LeBron looks frustrated.

28 year old prime Anthony Davis: 1-5, 4 points.

I wonder if this could end up being the most dysfunctional team Lebron has ever played on.

I can't believe the GM thought defensive schemes could rescue this personnel. Trades are coming because even when they find offensive chemistry they'll still be giving up 120 every game. It's not a good formula.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to hire Kobe's agent to be the GM. Jeanie needs to hand ownership back over to her brothers

When has a "superstar" been so unreliable in the Rs from missing games to inconsistent performances? I know New Orleans didn't have the best rosters but based on what I've seen of Ad in La he's not that #1 option guy

I'll just say it, and I know I'm biased, but I really wish LeBron hadn't hitched his wagon to the Lakers longterm. The extreme outlier that was the bubble is the only reason the Jeanie/Magic/Pelinka regime isn't considered equally as incompetent and dysfunctional as the Jim Buss era. Once again, LeBron is stuck with a front office that has no clue how to build a functional team around him in a normal NBA season, which should be the easiest job in the world.

Also it's about time Vogel got criticized for his offensive schemes. They've always been suboptimal

Their game 1 performance was unsustainable midrange shooting

There's like no coherent plan on offense. No player is able to get an easy shot off a set play. Roster construction is an excuse only so far. At some point, you need to do with what you got and put them in positions to succeed.

The person who only controls the team because she was born into the family. Jeanie Buss is absolutely clueless and so is Rob Pelinka. They got lucky that LeBron wanted to play in LA. Otherwise they would still be toiling in the lottery.

signing Jordan might have been even more negligent than trading Westbrook. You could have just asked rgm posters if all the scouts were on holiday. What do you think would make an injured team bench a guy for an entire 7 game series? Wth.

Bron and I guess Rondo tho he can't execute like he used to are the only ones on the team that have the Iq to do this

This loss is going to continue to hurt. Just penny pinching, no real basketball reason

AD getting cooked on both ends. This is just an awful game from him. CP is actively targeting him, this is insane

Someone needs to tell LeBron that there's a way he can still play in LA and not have to deal with a terrible owner and the dumbest GM in the sport. Just saying. :wink:

Man people like clowning on the Clippers but their owner is rich as hell and they’re going to have a nice new arena. The Lakers just have the tradition and they’ve been living off it for a awhile. I never liked LeBron going to the Lakers, honestly. Didn’t like it in 2018 and still don’t now.
