^^ There is a lot of pressure of Vogel right now, literally his job is on the line. Although if James might have swayed the Lakers management to let Frank stay maybe after the All-Star break I reckon before making the final decision.

I think the errors are killing the Lakers and they don't know how to hold a team in the fourth quarter. James is asserting himself, but he needs to score more every game to give them at least a good chance to win every night. The game against the Magic will be tough as this is on the Magic home court.

Good thing if Lebron is ready to defend his coach, Frank might stay for at least one season but without a result, there's no more chance for him. Lebron is popular of kicking out coach using his influence, but this time, he keep holding the coach despite the fact that they are struggling as a team.


Matured teams would know how to handle the 4th quarter as it's the most important quarter in the game, but without the aggressiveness to finish a win, there team has to be dismantled as basketball is a team game, not an individual game, and Lebron is not getting any younger.

Too bad that Klay went from 0-7 in 3s in the game between the Warriors and the Pacers. In the last possession before the OT, the play was so perfect as it deviated most of the players from their attention towards Klay. Unfortunately, Igoudala was not able to pass it to Klay for an open three and JTA unfortunately missed a game-winning layup that could seal the deal somehow.

Agree with your statement that Pacers are definitely picking up the "pace." They were also able to beat the Lakers which showed their starting strength. I just hope that Warriors would be able to get their rhythm back as they are definitely in a slump right now.

Looks like Demarcus Cousins to the Denver Nuggets is now official.  Glad he's getting another shot in the NBA.  Seems crazy with the way he played for the Bucks that he wouldn't have a spot somewhere.

We've got 11 NBA games today including games for the Lakers and the Nets (fan favorites).  The Yahoo! Sports app is also offering to let you stream for free 10 of those games (Bulls vs Bucks isn't included for some reason).  I find it's pretty easy to just stream the game from my phone to my TV and enjoy the freeness.  With the recent crypto crash, we need to save every penny. 

Still no Ben Simmons news...

He got a 10-day contract. https://www.espn.ph/nba/story/_/id/33115824/sources-demarcus-cousins-sign-10-day-contract-denver-nuggets
Not bad, if he can show what the team needs from him, then he might get a shot for a longer contract, I hope the best for him and most especially being healthy so he'll get a better chance.

Sadly, but there's nothing we can do but to wait.

Warriors barely makes mistake but in this game, they made a lot of mistakes. I'm surprised with the good run of the Pacers so far, they beat two good teams in a row but let's see if they can continue winning because they'll face the Phoenix Suns in their next game.

It is funny how Pacers managed to beat Lakers and everyone acted as if Lakers are done, and now they beat Warriors and everyone acting like that is just one bad game from Warriors. Don't get me wrong Lakers were bad looong before they played Pacers, this was just one more bad game to show that things are not clicking the right way, but at the same time we are talking about Pacers being a decent team.

Lakers will get even worse, they are going to play 50%+ win rate teams for a long time now and they are going to end up being a lot worse by the time regular season ends. I can see them not even making to playoffs, or at least be in the play-in tournament. That will be shameful and I am 100% sure they can't go anywhere near above second round, that is the max this team can get at the very best case. At the start of the season this team was seen as a championship contender, now I can't see them on conference finals.

If the Lakers win, it's LeBron. If they lose, it's Vogel...

Honestly I think that Frank Vogel has probably the worst job in the NBA. There is not much that can be done with this roster, when the second best player on the team is literally Stanley Johnson that has been out of the league for quite some time.

Unless LeBron conjures up some magic and winds back time, this roster is going nowhere.

Vogel will be kept I think the whole season. Maybe the problem is about the head coach but even with a good coach, if their players are inconsistent then it's useless to change a head coach. Maybe Vogel will stay until the end of the Lakers journey this season but next season, he might be included on the whole revamp if the Lakers end up worst this season.

No, he was not there during the game against Indiana Pacers but he was there being supportive on the past games they had. I heard from the commentator that the calf injury became a back problem that's why he was unable to be on the bench.
Yeah, just cast it from the phone to the TV. Nice move by Yahoo Sports to give the freebies but unfortunately there is a restriction for different regions.
Nuggets badly need the help too. I think he will be a good addition whenever Jokic takes the rest. Now they are being hammered hard by the Grizzlies.
