The Lakers lost another game Sunday night, this one to the Portland Trail Blazers 90 to 81. The team is about to embark on a stretch where ten of the next eleven games are on the road, so the losses are expected to continue. This record is not really a surprise given the number of young players on the roster and the overall lack of talent among the veterans, but the situation is exacerbated by the coaching staff which appears unable to see the forest through the trees.
It all comes down to making a firm decision on what the goal for this season should be and sticking with it.
