LAKERS SUCK

There you have it. The biggest Laker fan in the world is gunna tell it like it is...It's not that I've lost faith, because I haven't. I love the Lakers with all my heart. But the Lakers are far from a complete team...I'm not bashing their talent, because I truly believe the players possess a gang of talent, but they don't play to full potential. They just look clueless on the court. They seem uncoached...What happened to all the big name candidates to coach the Lakers? Any of those coaches would have fit better than Frank Hamblen. Hamblen is in the wrong position. He is an assistant coach and doesn't have the experience under his belt to coach a big name team such as the Lakers. Odom hasn't progressed, Mihm and Butler have subsided, Atkins has been a positive surprise, but he likes to shoot more than to pass. Some one needs to put this team in perspective. I believe this Laker team can be a great team and championship contenders...Kobe has been playing hurt ever since his return from his 14 game absence. In these types of situations, other players need to step up and they don't. This is what causes the Lakers to collapse and get outplayed. Lamar Odom shouldn't be standing on the top of the key waiting to shoot a low percentage 3-point shot, he needs to cut to the basket with or without the ball and become more aggressive. Chris Mihm shouldn't watch the other players playing while waiting to grab a rebound, he should get position and be ready for anything. Chucky Atkins shouldn't shoot every 3-point shot he gets a look at, he should play the point and run some plays. He's not good at finding players and needs to develop that into his game. Caron Butler has confidence, but not as much talent. It's like the opposite of Lamar Odom. Butler is still a smart player with a quick step who can shoot the ball, but he needs to play how he was playing in the beginning of the season. Jumain Jones and Brian Cook are excellent 3-point threats and should lead the Lakers in 3-pointers attempted, but that's not happening. Luke Walton and Slava Medvadenko were better last year under an accomplished head coach. Brian Grant is playing his worst season yet. I'm losing it just trying to figure out what these players are thinking. If I saw no potential in the Lakers and they were just a whack team with no talent, I wouldn't get angry, but that's not the case...and I'm furious. I'm praying that they wake up and start playing, but almost every day that hope keeps fading away. Nobody in this world can win a championship on their own, and that's no exception for Kobe. Yes, he's amazing. No, he can't win 1-on-5 every game. It might work here and there, but they won't get far this way. Maybe this is all part of a plan for next season, but nobody is notifying the fans. For the longest, there hasn't even been mention of Vlade Divac, who was originally projected to start at center for the Lakers this season. And I already forgot about Devan George. I don't think the Lakers will miss the playoffs, but sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if they did. I would never have imagined myself saying something like that, but there it is. Lakers need to win at least 10 out of their last 18 games. If they don't, better have a plan for next season...

It's just an honest opinion from a real Laker fan...I always keep it real when I'm on here and only state my true feelings. People are quick to call me a whackass Laker fan, or say I don't know my shit and just ride dick...But ya'll are quick to forget Lakers ARE my team and I stay behind them 100%...When I feel they aren't performing well, I'll admit it, and that's what I'm doing now...It happened again today, and now they need 10 of 17 to make me feel better...PeACe
