The Lakers & Frank Vogel hit bottom in loss vs. Pacers - Skip I NBA I UNDISPUTED

So it's Vogel's fault the front office allowed LeBron to build this team with zero depth and endurance... It's like they gave Vogel a butterknife and told him to build a house... They got rid of young Kuz and Ball? For these "TIRED" (pun intended) injury prone has beens...? Sure, get rid of Vogel and you still have this shambly, rickety weak-bodied set of old heads to do what? Blame who is at fault, LeBron.

The coach is not on the floor playing defense. Lebron is the on court general so it’s his fault

It's terrible coaching. The team looks. Sluggish. No pep talk. This is not a team with one man LeBron. The coach doesn't have a clue about defense. It is obvious.

Lebron,LeBron stop stop it. You hate LeBron. It shouldn't be room in broadcasting for people like skiper. The man is 37 and still playing great. LeBron is not the owner of the Lakers. Go after the owners and see want you be home. LeBron won chip skip for them all ready. Why LeBron I one of the most kind basketball players in the league.. the real thing is he has a problem because LeBron did visit the white house plain and simple. Tom Brady was never talked about win they win a chip for 5 years. You I wasn't Brady winning those games not the coach. But you be salivating win you mention Brady's name. Tom barady is the best in the game. The coolest man and quarterback ever to play foot ball and So is LeBron.

[@jdelgado216]

The only bad move you can put on Vogel is continue playing small even though Sabonis was killing them, other than that is their usual bad defense/lack of effort issue

Magic left the Lakers because Pelinka was ready to give up all the power to LeBron. Traded for AD instead of waiting 1 season to get him for free. Could have kept all those young pieces to trade for someone like a James Harden when he was available, that was what was best for the team.

Melo is on a vet minimum contact. Russ is stealing 44 million a year that’s a problem.

[@rohangupte3545]

Trading for AD was necessary but if the Lakers were gonna trade Kuz Trez and others it was all about getting the right fit and they choose a ball dominant pg and terrible 3 point shooter in Westbrook over Buddy Hield and Demar said he was willing to take a paycut to join the Lakers and giving up Caruso was a big mistake

[@suntansuperman26]

@@SR_91347 LeBron had more help than Jordan throughout his career. Jordan helped create his help with the players he had by pushing them to play on his level, not talent wise but with intensity. LeBron has the luxury of playing with whatever star player he wants to play with, for years his fans say he makes his players better but yet blame his teammates when things go wrong. It’s just that people are tired of hearing how LeBron never has any help.

LeBron isn’t getting enough of the blame. He doesn’t like playing defense in the regular season because his ego has him believing he deserves a playoff spot simply for being himself. LeBron plays defense like he’s playing a bunch of scrubs, forgetting he’s playing hungry NBA players. His entitlement is an embarrassment to the sport.

I am not giving Vogel any pass on this. If you loose in a blowout, the problem is in the coach and the players. If you loose in a close game then the problem is solely on the coach. You need to be able to control the outcome of the game no matter what roster you have. Even if it means to outsmart the other coach.

Why is it that lebron is the actual "real coach" of a team when they win and frank Vogel is the actual coach when they lose? Vogel did not trade away their youth for a bunch of hot dog dinosaurs. You guys are letting the veterans off the hook by blaming Vogel. Gm and lebron are equally culpable. Can't consider lebron a default coaching genius ONLY when they win.

[@EWHITEFLIX]

If they win “Lebron is the GM and a genius”. If they lose “Lebrons not getting any help and fire the coach” lolol

Lebron is blamed for this. He wanted a roster of bros and made a bunch of no nos. Jordan wrecked the Wizards so guess this was the game plan of following Jordan/Kobe. Twilight years scrimmages. Duncan is the smart one here, GM and Coaching not his business. His last year was on a 67-15 team.......
