The Lakers begin the post-All-Star break with the tension between LeBron James and the Front Office, no Anthony Davis, and a bout against their cross-town rival the Clippers. A putrid second-quarter performance was nullified by a strong third-quarter charge that put them into the lead. A nip and tuck fourth-quarter battle between the two and poor execution down the stretch ended up with a 105-102 loss to the Clippers. Tune in as Joe Soro from lakersball.com and LakerTom from lakerholics.com stop by to discuss what went wrong, why the replay delays have to be fixed, and why the constant turmoil of the team needs and can be fixed on our latest episode of the Lakers Fast Break podcast!

Always a tough podcast when the Lakers blow an opportunity to win a game by poor execution down the stretch and no real semblence of smart coaching and play execution to close out the game. The only thing this team is proving right now is Frank Vogel is not the right coach for this team.
When everytning seems to change but we still lose, there’s a point in time where you have to ask yourself whether the problem with this team is the head coach and his inability to run anything resembling a championship caliber offense.
Yes, I know we have three superstars and that makes it difficut to call plays but this team is no longer listening to Frank Vogel and we should make a change now to get a head start on a coaching search so we don’t derail our summer by wasting early free agency trying to get a coach instead of upgrading the roster.
