How does a team with four franchise players lose so much?

[Rekindled]

Nash is a couple years past being a franchise player, mainly because he's not a penetrator anymore.

really?
just last season he was an allstar leading his team to .500 record with gortat as the 2nd best player and dudley as 3rd best player.

duh, they have no bench, their guys are old, and they are playing in a system that doesn't fit the players. Their coach also doesn't believe in defense.

too early wait after the allstar game lakkers will beast

This is the most baffling thing about how the Lakers are playing this season. Theoretically, you should be able to add Kobe, Dwight, Steve or Pau to any other team in the NBA and see a dramatic increase in their winning record. Who the hell do you blame for this?

1. Injuries.
2. Lack of time to gel together.
3. Bad coaching, which is more focused on the system rather than on melding talents.
4. Stubbornness from players.
5. Lack of someone to can get to the rim.
6. Lack of speed on the wings.
7. Age.
