Yes the season just started and we've been losing games due to weird ass rotations. Like I said, I wouldn't fire a coach DURING THE SEASON. But what would you do if we end up going 40-42 or something and miss playoffs. You'd retain Luke? I would not.



I think some of it is players not doing what they should, yes, like Rondo being wiiiiiide open for a layup but we needed a 3 so instead he passed it out and we took a shitty contested 3 and got no points. Really stupid play and Rondo should not be getting crunch time minutes.
But for some reason Luke pairs him with Lance and Lonzo and we get obliterated playing small ball.


So your mindset would be, "Luke is fucking up and we don't want him, lets wait till the end of the season to fire him!"

Everyone thought cavs sucked last year, 4th seed against +60 wins powerhouse Toronto. Cavs Sweep then spank Boston in their own house. It's way to early to care about this stuff, NBA doesn't even matter to me till after the Super Bowl. By NBA playoff time the Lakers could be a whole different team with different chemistry. Bottom line is Lakers will be a threat in the playoffs at any seed.


Exactly this. Not to mention this was the 5th year of the 2nd Cleveland stint he had. Not 8 games into the season. People and their fucking impatience!

This team doesn't need additional moving parts so I don't see Luke going anywhere anytime soon. The team has defense and rebounding issues but they have yet to be play a game they weren't capable of winning if they weren't so poor in the last few minutes of the game. Magic Johnson prolly has knows a thing or two on how to improve that part of the game, watch the Lakers close out the game in Portland.

50 wins might just net you a 6th seed this year, and we're not playing like a 50 win team.
Also, Raptors with Derozan sucked DICK, erbody knew they were gonna get spanked in playoffs.


WRONG! Your knowledge of pro sports is as bad as is your knowledge of Fantasy Football.

Everyone in here relax, god damn, the season just started and we have been in every game. We all knew it would take some time to get the ball rolling, fuck half of you didn't think we make playoffs.

There has been a lot going on to start the season, the schedule is beyond hard for the first 2 weeks, then on top of that BI and Rondo get suspended. That issue right there is why our rotation is a mess. Give Walton and the players some time to figure this out. Magic was just letting Luke know, "Hey man I'm your biggest fan but if we don't get this thing rolling the media is going to eat you alive". Let's figure it out and correct this slow start".

In my Honest Opinion we need a defensive Center, badly.

Not going to brag but I've been saying we needed a center for Months, McGee is nice of course but when he is out we play bad. Also McGee gets into foul trouble often. We just need someone to provide minutes and who can block some shots, rebound, roll to the glass for a easy dunk, we don't need a offensive weapon.

Tyson Chandler would be pretty cool

He ain't getting into foul trouble that often tho
Our two most recent losses to Minny and Spurs, he had 3 and 4 fouls and could've easily gotten more minutes.
