Lowkey theme of this season: Player/coach relationships have truly evolved and our boys have bonded this season ðŸ˜

Fuck, I love this team.

Luke so far proving to be a master of man management. Hopefully it can carry over when we attract high profile superstars

When we hired him that's what a lot of insiders were talking about. Said he would be a great part of free agent meetings as well as coach. People kind of forgot about that aspect when the "Fire Luke" brigade was out in full force.

That shit was honestly so stupid. I really believe in Luke.

I criticized Luke where warranted but I was never in the "Fire Luke" camp because I knew getting a team together and changing the culture doesn't happen overnight and takes time to implement.
Imo, I think he's ahead of schedule as far as turnaround goes in relation to other teams who've went through similar.

When BI came out at the end of the fourth, he walked by the bench and Luke was too focused on his paper in his hand. Ingram stopped and waited for Luke to look up. I'd love to see a gif of that and to know what Ingram said. Whatever it was put a big smile on Luke's face. Probably happy birthday. Luke needs to be mic'd up every game so we can get all of these moments.

I guess the Lord and Savior of the bbb fuckboi crew was wrong about him losing the team?
Luke’s a good coach. Lavar’s an idiot.

Maybe that was lavars plan the whole time?? Talk a bunch of shit so it lights a fire under them and propels them to new heights!

How important either positively or negatively that the coach and players are semi-similar in age and would have watched Luke play on some great Lakers teams? I mean Luke is barely old enough to be even the youngest guys dad has be been knocking girls up in high school, I can’t decide how I’d feel. I think I’d like that there would be a similar mindset as far as no significant age gap.

Crazy how there was rumors he was gonna be fired. Luke's a good coach and the players like him.

Anybody know why I can never see Lonzo or Kuzma’s snaps? They rarely show for me, but people have been posting their snaps constantly so I must be missing something

I couldn't have imagined such a massive culture change from last season. The camaraderie amongst Luke and the guys has been one of my favourite parts about this season.
The final Kobe years were tough as well. No chemistry, high tension, and everyone sort of deferred to Kobe’s greatness. It’s great to see where our squad is now!! The future is looking bright.
This franchise has had abysmal chemistry since the 2011 season. Huge reason why no FAs came anywhere close here all that time. Last season with a new coach, new front office, no more Kobe really wiped the slate clean and now we’re starting to reap the benefits
If you said we had a bad chemistry while it was happening you probably would have been downvoted.
This is why i was dying to have Kobe retire as soon as he got a second injury after achilles
Yeah it wasn't pretty to see those last two years. At least it was so bad that we tanked into keeping a few picks. Last year's draft was so strong for us it really accelerated the rebuild
