I hope it's Mark Jackson, so we can finally find out if he was a legit good coach or if the warriors were just blowing smoke.


There's no question (IMO) that he can be a franchise changing coach, look at where/who the Dubs had been to that point.

I have sat in the Coliseum in Oakland for many games during those 17, 19, 2x win seasons with one sole playoff appearance in decades... But MJax came in and he got the team to buy into a system that worked better than anything else we'd been doing.

But long term, I'm not sure he can do it (with the same team). He caused problems with his own players... And staff...

:stopitslime:

But I think he'd be great for a young team that needs direction. But I would look at it as a 3ish year max unless he proves that the GS situation wasn't (isn't) who he is now.

But I hope he gets a chance.

there is no way malone can bench porter jr right?

this is like when mcgrady and kobe were to good to keep on the bench and the older guys had to make sacrifice.

The lakers are in trouble. Fans hate 2 see it but their defense is just awful. I don't see it improving in the playoffs. Lebron cant finish at the rim like he used 2. He's missed a bunch of layups and just doesn't have the same bounce anymore. AD is hit or miss. When his shot is off his defense suffers.

Their perimeter players are either selfish (dion)
Old (green jr) or non shooters (kcp) they better pray memphis gets the 8 and they can sweep them and hope the 4-5 matchup goes 6-7 games so they can get rondo back and figure this out.

Just waiting for the playoff switch breh...

:lolbron:

Nah, someone else said it and I agree, nothing is at stake here (yet) for them. But they do seem like a ragtag group... Not sure if it all fits but we'll see soon..

Yeah they’ve got no chance even though they had the 3rd best defense in the bubble going into yesterday.
