Everything is fine man. Y’all trippin panicking.
Vogel will figure it out. Lebron will get younger. AD will improve his shooting. Westbrook will improve his IQ. Jeanie will win the lottery.

Who likes multiple choice?
A. Ride it out the rest of the year with the same coach, same roster and hope they figure it out
B. Fire Vogel, promote Fizdale
C. Make wholesale changes - trade THT, Nunn, DJ, Bazemore, Bradley, and Ellington for quality wing depth and a competent big.
D. Hope Dame demands a trade to LA, convince Russ that all will be fine in Portland.
One of these will happen, which one it will be is the million dollar question lol

If we’re talking future plans my guess is Vogel get canned in the offseason, Lakers sniff around the buyout market for a taller guard or PF (no wings will be available) and if they can find a taker for Nunn maybe a small trade since he’s likely gone in the offseason anyway

Predictions for the next 5 games?
With all the talent we have we SHOULD go 5-0.
With how they have been playing...
3-2...maybe.

Was thinking about Kobe today. My die harded-ness for the nba died with him. I’m so grateful to have been a fan during his entire 20 years on the court. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Same team. Same effort. 3 mini-unique primes. 2 of which lead to title(s). 1 of which was him scoring like no other player in the history of the league. Such a blessing

I don't get why anybody wouldn't want to play center in today's NBA. Nobody is banging out there anymore (nice).
Imagine having to defend David Robinson and duncan, Shaq, Ewing elbowing you in the face.
Today it's all soft, there's literally no difference playing 3-5 nowadays.
Can anybody shed some light on why AD hates the 5 or he's just being a *****?

My checklist for the season
- DeAndre Jordan will be out of the lineup
- Russ will improve as the season goes on
- Reaves will be in the starting lineup
- Roster will improve thru trade and/or buyout market
- LeBron will play more than 3 consecutive games
- AD's shooting will have positive regression
- Bazemore/Bradley/rondo limited minutes/out of the lineup
- THT will improve as the season goes on
- Monk comes into his own
- Ariza and Nunn get healthy
- Lakers enter the playoffs healthy (enough)
But losing to the clippers in December does? They had won 3/4 prior but that doesn't mean anything either. Being 5th as terrible as they've looked is a good thing.

Being tied for 5th in the west is like being a top student on a special Ed class, or like being a smart poster on Niketalk

We are striving for greatness
Be happy with 5th place with 3 starters top 75 all time
I guess all things considered it’s not bad
