The White Flag Thread

Here's the thread for all of us who have given up on the current season. The Lakers suck this season.

Never

Nope i still believe

i'm as close to a white flag as you can get without actually giving up completely. i'm an off-white flag

Lol, no one's really giving up until all 8 X's are marked in the standings. All 8.

Not yet, but its getting there

Anybody believe it's feasible Jim Buss will fire another head coach? Or Antoni will step down? There's no way in hell the Lakers don't get mopped up the rest of the games in this road trip. Memphis, OKC... wow.

It would probably take a coaching change and some serious trade magic by Mitch.

Indeed, but at least part of that is not out of the question. Until we are mathematically eliminated I cannot give up, just not how I'm built, my brain/heart won't let me.

+1.

I'll be here until the bitter end.

I've yet to see a move since Game #1 started wherein the Lakers would benefit. Stupid coaching decisions after another. We're wasting $50 million on two players for this pathetic effort.

Trade Pau? How about use Pau properly...

I've given up on this season, which is a shame because Kobe, Pau and Nash are all one year older next season.

You never gave up hope because you never had any in the first place. Well played, sir...

and there were posters who use to mock the rest of us for apparently hating on Jim due to rumor filled reports....so what do we think of Jim now?

I have lost most of my faith.. but i will watch/keep up with what is going on till the last game so be it sometime in the playoffs or game 82.

I don't see the effort on the court translating to Jim's inaction/action (I'm assuming that choosing NOT to go with Phil had Jerry's blessing).. Our Lake show looks like a group of old, poorly coached individuals who have no conviction or pride in wearing the p&g.

This is on our players individually. And despite that I still believe we can turn this around at some point.

So, it's ***OFFICIAL*** is it?

The guys simply are not playing for each other, they look confused out there. That's all on the coaching IMO. The only way this works is firing DAntoni and letting Bickerstaff finish the season. Or, Jimmy Buss caving and begging Phil Jackson to take over the team until Kobe retires.

I've given up long ago.

I understand the frustration that this team has given us fans...believe me.......I do.

But do we really need an "I give up" thread?

^^ This, all the freaking way. I know we are sucking badly right now. But I will give up only if there is no more statistical chance to make the playoffs. If that happens, ok. But not now.
