When the Los Angeles Lakers 2015-16 season started, it was reasonable to assume that, with so many young players and veteran additions to the squad this year, it would take time for things to jell. The hope was that the team would come together and make a much stronger showing in the second half of the season. Unfortunately, such hopes have been dashed by their dismal showings on Saturday and Sunday.
Head coach Byron Scott continues to be a large part of the problem. Instead of looking in the mirror, recognizing his own mistakes, and doing something about them, he stubbornly deflects criticism and unfairly blames the younger players.
