Luke Walton, Lakers Part Ways

April 12, 2019 by Darius Soriano

luke-walton

Those wondering if Magic Johnson’s sudden and surprising resignation would offer Luke Walton a reprieve so he could remain on as Lakers head coach have gotten their answer. To quote myself, nah. The Lakers and Luke Walton have mutually agreed to part ways the team announced via a press release on Friday afternoon. So, Luke […]

Report: Luke Walton Wanted Brook Lopez and Julius Randle to Return

March 11, 2019 by Darius Soriano

luke-walton

Massive understatement alert: This Lakers season has not gone as planned. Sorry to hit you with such deep level #analysis this early in the morning, but it’s my job. Sarcasm aside, when you get LeBron James, regardless of circumstances, the hope is that you’d be better off than where the Lakers sit now: 30-36 on […]

Luke Walton, in the Crosshairs

September 25, 2018 by Darius Soriano

talking-nerdy-luke-walton

With media day now over and training camp set to open, the Lakers season begins in earnest today. And while the focus is squarely on newest Laker LeBron James, it is the longest tenured Laker, head coach Luke Walton, who is in the crosshairs. Hired just couple of months before Brandon Ingram was drafted, Luke […]

On LeBron James, Luke Walton, and Burden Sharing

August 3, 2018 by Darius Soriano

lakers-lebron-james

After the Lakers signed LeBron James, it did not take long for folks to start to question every other aspect of the Lakers organization. This is the gift and the curse of The King. When you have a generational talent on your roster, you reap the benefits of that through that player’s talent, but also […]

Lakers Analysis: Julius Randle is now a full-time Center and it’s Working

November 4, 2017 by Darius Soriano

lakers-analysis-julius-randle-center

In multiple conversations I’ve had with Pete Zayas, he’s told me that if there’s ever a question about what position a player is you likely need to go “up” a slot. So, if you wonder if a guy is a 3 or a 4, he’s a 4. If you wonder whether he’s a 4 or […]

Lakers Podcast: Debating the Lineups

October 25, 2017 by Darius Soriano

laker-film-room-podcast-lineups

In the latest Laker Film Room Podcast, Pete and I discuss the Lakers first three games of the season and, specifically, the lineups Luke Walton has been using. We dive hard into whether Walton is starting the team’s best 5 players, whether the players who are starting complement each other well, and whether the Ingram/Nance […]

Laker Film Room: Luke Walton Talks Lakers 3-Point Defense

October 4, 2017 by Pete Zayas

luke-walton-lakers-3-point-defense

The Lakers have been quite poor at defending the 3-point line over the last few years, ranking 26th in the NBA in 3-point percentage allowed (37.0%) during the 2016-17 season. That trend continued on Monday night, as the Denver Nuggets picked Lakers apart from behind the arc, going 15-27 (55.6%) from distance. In the latest […]

Lonzo Ball stars in the first Lakers scrimmage

September 28, 2017 by Pete Zayas

lonzo-ball-stars-first-lakers-scrimmage

The first days of Training Camp at any level of basketball can be tedious, as the coaching staff tries to install their systems via a variety of individual and team shell drills. Last night, away from the media’s gaze, Luke Walton was generous enough allow to his team to let loose for the first Lakers […]

Laker Film Room: Luke Walton and the House of Cards

September 19, 2017 by Pete Zayas

luke-walton-forum-blue-gold

The 2016-17 Lakers got off to a surprising 10-10 start, allowing the more optimistic fans amongst us to entertain the possibility of Luke Walton hoisting theĀ Coach of the Year Award after an improbable playoff push. Then the clock struck midnight, with the Lakers losing 31 of their next 41, turning a season that began with […]

On Luke Walton and Building A Lineup

October 11, 2016 by Darius Soriano

The Lakers are 2-1 this preseason and, had it not been for a makeshift lineup of fighting-to-make-the-roster players losing a 4th quarter lead, they would probably be 3-0. The record has caveats attached — it’s only preseason!, teams are not playing their starters heavy minutes, rotations are wonky — but after three years of heavy […]
