Still no Steve, but Utah isn't exactly a world beater so we should be okay. It would be nice to see the offense to continue what they did against Detroit and hopefully the defense keeps on progressing.

Let's go Lakeshow!

Did you even watch the game?? I saw Kobe, Pau and Dwight on more than one occasion sit back to whine to the ref while the Jazz ran it back to get an easy bucket. ****ing Pau got beat back by Enes Kanter on a ****ing out of bounds play!! Don't give me that coach effort bullshit. These are veteran players! All stars players!! If that were Morris or Sacre doing that everyone here would be crucifying them. FOH with that bullshit! Brown certainly deserves some blame for plenty of coaching blunders but I'm not letting the players off the hook that easy for shit like that!!

Lakers just aren't playing hard enough for whatever reason teams are playing way more aggressive than we are and thats top to bottom even Kobe he played passively for about 3 quarters then tried hard at the end offensively. Howard plays timid he's not making other teams bigs pay for even thinking of challenging him his defense has been horrible to start the season he seems a step slow I expected it with Bynum but not Howard he's playing very lazy defense and timid overall. Pau is just Pau goes with the flow of whatever is happening with the team a team plays soft he plays softer a team gets aggressive he gets aggressive nothing new there.

Metta is actually playing hard just stupid forcing bad shots playing outside of himself and Blake and the bench are a mess a total mess.

Not getting back on defense is an issue because we now have 3 bitchers on the floor Kobe and Howard bitch and run which gets them beat back and Pau falls to the floor and jogs back.

can this get fixed yeah and I think it will but it has to start with intensity level guys playing hard and focused more often.

Lack of intensity and focus is a coach thing we clearly have great effort guys who are not bring the sustained energy I'm guessing because they don't believe in the system it happenss in pro sports.

Fire Mike brown surely but not yet give him more time to sort this shit out and then dump him if he doesn't.

This was a really bad shooting night for the lakers, but I think a chunk of that can be attributed to their intensity. I knew we were going to lose this game from the first quarter. Lakers came out totally flat; no energy, careless with the ball on offense and slow and uninterested on defense. After a big win and 3 days off this is unacceptable. Especially going to Utah, a place we know will be high energy with players who are constantly hustling and attacking.

I dont understand what this team is waiting for! Its like they think if they are patient enough they will never have to play hard.

And our bench, who I expect to run the Princeton more than the starters dont have a clue what they are doing? What are we doing in practice? Watching video?!
