Anthony Davis is cooked. No idea why they playing him through his foot issue. Just give him 2 months off to get it right.
They need to put more faith in Gabe Vincent to start and just provide some actual defense at the guard spot also.

No. Teams always get up for the Lakers. Then go ahead and lose to a worse side.
Richmond had a league leading injury list.

You play Atlanta next who do this, we will see if you are a good team or not
Not winning most improved player last season was an oversight. I wonder if he could actually win it this year.

I think its a case of him being able to get the ball earlier on the shotclock which means he can take better shots.
Felt he was getting a fair few catch and heaves last year which isnt happening from the bench

Of the lakers 10 losses this season, already have 5 that have been by 24 points or more.

Wow. A coach is going to meet with the other coaches and the players. How innovative. Isn't this what a coach should be doing anyway?

Said a couple of weeks back that the Lakers were the least convincing 10-4 team in recent memory.
First week was decent, but since then it's all soft schedule wins and blowout losses.
LeBron's on/off numbers are catastrophic.

Yeah funnily enough they are now on to a 3rd coach and still wondering what is going wrong... It is the roster. It is bog average. A bunch of solid players and two guys who can only give you 'superstar' levels on an inconsistent basis these days. They are 12-10 or whatever it is now which is right around where they should be, that is the Lakers level.

If the Lakers were an AFL team, the AFL would give them priority picks.

This is pretty much it.
The year after they won they championship, they started 21-6.
Since then:
2020-21: finished season 21-24
2021-22: 33-49
2022-23: 43-39 (expected wins: 42)
2023-24: 47-35 (expected wins: 42)
2024-25: 12-10 (expected wins: 8)
That's almost exactly .500 over a very large sample size of games, and statistically they've often been below that even.
Miami is an interesting parallel, but even they are over 60 games over .500 in that same span.

Pick 1...
The Miami bit surprised me at first because we are well and truly entrenched in that shitty treadmill cycle but we did make a finals and ECF in that time albeit 1 we barely made the play-offs.
Think we are well and truly in the same boat now though. Very average.

Made playoffs in 23 of the last 29 seasons.
Had LeBron. Had Shaq. Had Riley. Built a bunch of statues outside your arena.
LA of the East confirmed.

Once Lakers hang Jordan's jersey they can become Miami of the West
You have priority access to all of Lebron's progenie without interference from any other team. We are very generous.

It probably is slightly harsh, his start to the season was certainly hot. Just don't feel he is on the level of a few others that can drag these mid teams to a high seeding (not many can).
AD is a very very good player and with the right team around him you can be a legit title contender. However he is not on the level that just makes most teams a contender.

I dont subscribe to the thought that he was misused, just more that he clearly feels that he had far more of a role, or confidence instilled in him in Atlanta.
You must admit he looks a different proposition and its rubbing off on both ends of the floor.
Could just be a change of environment, coaching style or any of a million other factors
