This team is terrible right now and an easy 1st round elimination and no way dream of a championship with this roster. I'm a big time Laker fan and it's tough to watch.

Love how Laker Nation prefers to hate on Gasol for all of the teams shortcomings. Let's just ignore that Kobe is firing more times than Bynum and Gasol combined. And what was this team's strength coming into the season? TWO SEVEN FOOTERS. And one of them is rated as the best passing big man to play the game.

Think about it: MIKE BROWN HAS PAU GASOL OPENING UP SHOP ON THE PERIMETER.

What big man wants to play as a perimeter player?! It's not Gasol's fault he's taking jumpers, he's being asked to play a game that he is NOT familiar with. Where are his post touches? Where is his dynamic with Bynum on the other side? Why isn't Pau being set in a post position where he can feed the open cutter? And WHY CAN'T KOBE TRUST ANY TEAM MATE NOT NAMED DEREK FISHER.

You know who needs to go? YOUR RETARDED COACH. MIKE BROWN IS A CLOWN IN AN EXPENSIVE SUIT.

There is a reason why Cleveland never won anything with the most talented player in the NBA!

Oh, and if you're actively willing Derek "Almost Mr. Clutch" Fisher, the man that just WON YOU A GAME YOU DID NOT DESERVE, you are not a fan. (though to be fair, the NBA should have scratched the game, because it was SO F*CKING UGLY, both teams deserved to take a loss)



And sad to say it Laker Nation, but Roy Hibbert played with more heart, fire, intensity, however you want to call it, than the entire Laker team. And Kobe is not vintage Kobe, he cannot bail this team out every game.
