To anyone that is wondering why Luke Walton is getting fired

Would you give major minutes to a player that has a plus/minus total of -32? Okay, how about letting a player shoot 3-of-19? How about if neither of these players gave a thought to playing defense? Well, Luke Walton decided to give Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope some run on the basketball court.

Oh, by the way, they were on the court when the Warriors ran away and hid in the 1st quarter. I mean I know this is Steph Curry, but really?

Who does a behind the back passes the full length of the court? Anybody can because Caldwell-Pope was out of position to rotate back to play defense.

The Lakers defense was basically summed up here.

DeMarcus Cousins is a capable 3-point shooter. His shot has fallen off as he gets into shape but to leave him THAT wide open? To make things worse, the Lakers let him shoot again with the same results.

At one point Cousins dribbled the entire length of the court hitting JaVale McGee with the “Shammgod” dribble and dunked on him.  What’s that sound LeBron James used to describe the roster without shooters?

Well, use it for the defense as well because it stinks! But hey! It was Issac Bonga’s night to be captain!
