    Laker coach isn't the real problem this year it's the lineup and players. Lebron and Kusma is all they got, big drop off in supporting cast talent after that.. You got - one aging super star in Lebron and that's not good enough in the West to compete.

    This Laker team isn't making the playoffs this year.. This was a scratch season to begin with for the Lakers we were just all hoping for something more and special with Lebron. Not happening this year!!!!

    excellent coach. seems like a really good guy. We are A LONG LONG LONG WAY from him being called the greatest ever. he had better win about 5 more titles to get into that conversation, and it better be over the course of 15 years across a few eras.

    Auerbach rolling in his grave right now. phil jackson rolling his eyes. popovich shrugging his shoulders and smirking.

    You put any NBA coach in charge of the current GSW team and they still win the title.. Steve Kerr may be a decent coach but he has THE TEAM and the TALENT...

    when i started this thread on 2/10 i just looked at the schedule and knew this was a tougher 5 game stretch than it looked like on paper.

    they were favored over the hawks and the grizzlies and i believe the pelicans as well, all 3 on the road and lost them all. but they beat the rockets at home after being down by 18. Unreal.

    What more does Jeannie buss need to see. They just lost to the worst team in the NBA. Fire poor luke and see if Brian Shaw or other can give you a spark.

    If they fire Walton it will be this week,they would make the move before Ball comes back, Ball back should improve the Lakers significantly, Rondo is horrible.

    I believe I included a question mark in the header which would indicate it was a question not a statement. The easier prediction was that he would last the season because coaches getting fired at or after the all star break is almost unheard of.

    I still think it should've happened in Feb

    The org likes Brian Shaw. I think he take a over for luke THIS season and gets his audition for the balance of the year

    Of course they will. Buss loves him. Magic tried to fire him but he gave up and quit. There is no reason to fire him

    Walton the only coach they'll find that can get them past the Warriors

    Probably better reg season coaches, but Luke knows offense and he knows GSW and you need both to win West

    averaging 33 wins per year is worth keeping? luke is a very good dude. a decent coach. but he is not next level.

    You think a coach that couldn’t get them to the post season is somehow the right coach to lead them past the W’s????



    Luke sucks as a coach and the Lakers suck as a team

    Brian Shaw had his chance with the Nuggets. The Ty Lawson era...
