    • In my defense, after being locked in the house high on Percocet trying to sleep sitting on the sofa in a crazy Velcro nightmare high tech sling after my shoulder replacement surgery only to awaken to learn Frank Vogel has been given front office permission to play whomever he wants for the rest of the season.

      It’s like being locked in a dream where Byron Scott is the Lakers new general manager who declares the team is going replace Frank Vogel with Kurt Rambis as head coach and restore the Triangle as the only legitimate championship NBA offense. The only way to get out of the dream is to accept becoming a Clippers or Celtics fan.

      I am now shifting all of my trade efforts on finding a shooting guard whom even Frank Vogel would start before Avery Bradley. Avery Bradley has become the avatar that rules Frank Vogel’s reign. Lakers could be down 0-4 in the first round of the playoffs and Frank would still be starting Avery and probably trying to figure out how to get more minutes out of DeAndre Jordan and give Kent Bazemore an opportunity to play. After all, they’re all proven vets and analytics mearsures them wrong.

      It’s like we’re screwed for sure. Lakers aren’t going to replace Frank until this summer, which means we have a lame duck coach who’s been given full power to play whomever he pleases. Multiple unrequited and unsuccessful roles wasted on players like DeAndre Jordan, Kent Bazemore, Andre Drummond, and Avery Bradley have shown Frank is terrible at building lineups and rotations. It’s like he can’t get his excessive defensive bias out of the way from wrecking his lineups and rotations. He’s beeb dumb, stubborn, and wrong over and over and yet never seems to learn from these mistakes.

      • That is quite the defense. Lol, in all honesty I think that a decent amount of our defensive issues will be solved with the more athletic and now rested AD at the 5. Ariza has to be booted out of the starting 5 and LBJ to the 3 w/Johnson or Melo. That might be how we end the season. I also think we’re still going to be more from Russ. Still have faith in greatness

        • There are two ways this story ends.

          In the first, AD inspires the team, we pull of a big surprise trade for a starter, and we ride a perfect storm of good fortune to #18.

          In the second, the story slowly leaks out about the attempts of Kurt Rambis to pull off a coup and take control of the team from Rob Pelinka using Frank Vogel’s plight to get Jeanie Buss’s support for the coup.

          Now that the rebels have been held at bay, the universe actiously awaits the return of its young prince to join the King in the fight for #18.
