[the artist known az]

why would jerry sloan come off his farm, to such a stressful situation?

would be the rudy t situation all over again, and plus sloan left when deron didnt like his ways, sloan would be tired of dumb ass dwight 2 games in.

nate mcmillan, players tune out fast

I'm just repeating what they been saying on LA sports radio. I could give a shyt who they pick as their next coach

 

[the artist known az]

You do not want dantoni and I defended him but nicca is too stubborn and good luck running 7sol with this team. They guy needs a defensive coach and makes no changes he's too stubborn .nicca ran toney Douglas out there at point until we were almost finished and refused to give lin a chance he didn't want melo so he made no changes to utilize him hed rather lose with his hands on his hips .it wasn't till after after melo and chandler asked for lin to play he to melo and threw Douglas under the bus for being inferior . Nicca you threw him out there knowing he sucked

I'm a Miami fan, I listen to LA radio because they talk about the NBA more than the other stations. Those were the names being thrown around and they were gassing up D'Antoni saying it would be like the Phoenix days. Even tho they didn't win shyt.

 

[Regular_P]

I didn't think it was realistic to hope for Phil's return. That's why I was hoping for Sloan. If Phil really comes back

Yeah, that would do it I guess. Photos like this (imo) make it look like it was his fault even though there are other legitimate reasons the Lakers are struggling, his behavior justifies Laker fan hatred. All this money he is stealing atleast pretend to be depressed over your dismissal.

lol, damn I forgot he predicted an amazing record too

Mike Brown got fired because he had the Lakers running a high school offense.
Dwight already tanked last season because he felt Stan Van Gundy was sabotaging his play-calling in Orlando (not getting the right touches).

Spoiler

Spoiler

Mike Brown took the Lakers job and demanded that Lamar Odom was shipped out PRIOR to him taking the job, Odom was a versatile ball handler that could switch the tempo of the Lakers offense as a 6th man.

When the Lakers struggled mid-way through last season, didn't Kobe and Derek Fisher held a "player meeting to clear the air" and that they wanted to re-utilize some of Tex Winter Triangle offense?

Mike Brown complained to Mitch Kupchak and got Derek Fisher traded.

Shaq made a comment about "trading a Fisher because of his system that doesn't win championships" and Artest nodded in agreement.

Mike Brown wanted to run the Princeton this year because he was counting on Ramon Sessions being HIS PG.

When Ramon couldn't hit a shot in the playoffs and got benched, Kupchak already knew he wasn't going to resign him.

Nash was injured for the Suns, and rehab in L.A. so they were already having discussions behind Mike Brown back DURING THE SEASON.

Gasol wants to be able to dribble drive from high post or high-low Dwight for weak side lob for easy points in the paint, Mike Brown demanded that Olympic Silver Medal and Gold Medal players to pass first instead of freestyling.

Jamison and Steve Blake know the Lakers offense and rotation was lame because Blake got benched for Sessions last year, and Mike Brown had to come crawling back to Steve Blake when Ramon couldn't make shots in the playoffs.

Derek Fisher knew what plays the Lakers were going to run in the WCF and KD & Russy ran wild with that information, and Mike Brown couldn't never adjust his gameplans in the 4th quarter to stop OKC.

: how was trying to run a offense he doesn't seem to understand or even plays to nashs strength

Because Eddie Jordan was probably a huge part of it too. He knows a lot of the ins and outs of the Princeton and has run it before for other teams. Nash could've run pick and rolls whenever he wanted but I think he wanted to be a team player and help the rest of the team pick it up.

My theory is that Brown and his staff wanted to use it so everybody would move without the ball and play. Honestly the offense isn't the problem their defense is the problem. They're literally scoring as many points as they're giving it up and turning over the ball too much. These old nikkas can't stop transition baskets either. There's way more problems than the offense everyone is bytching about.

Hmm do you think Kobe brought in ? I don't follow the lakers but him and Bynum looked like they werent big fans of brown last year and it's a players league if your stars dont buy in
The defense should be browns specialty

You mean to ask if Kobe bought into the offense or not? Honestly I think he really did, but whether his statements to the media were just him being politically correct or just saying shyt, who knows. I honestly think that he wanted to make the offense work though. Last year Bynum was in Brown's doghouse because Bynum is a free spirit and Brown runs a tight ship.

There were plenty of games where Kobe should've let the offense flow through Bynum more rather than forcing shots on nights where he was off. Regardless, now that Brown is gone, I think it will make a difference. As soon as they made the hire way back when for Brown, I knew his life span there would be limited. Mike Brown just doesn't command respect. He's not an idiot, he's just a poor leader and I doubt everyone truly had his back like they claimed.

Giving Mike Brown a head coaching position for the Lakers is like giving a kid that can't drive stick a brand new Ferrari. I just don't think he ever had true command and confidence in maintaining control of the team and I think the players lack of giving a fukk reflects that.

The problem is, in sports, especially basketball, X's and O's are great to a point, but the latter isn't even a big deal to necessarily have from a head coach. That's why you have a staff of assistants who specialize in a specific part of the offense, defense, shooting whatever it is, that's what delegating is for. Whether it's old age, lack of hustle, poor discipline—whatever it is, the Lakers were just not running back on defense, being careless with the ball, etc. A coach is responsible for motivating and micromanaging guys' work ethic and discipline on the court. Brown failed in that regard, but he shouldn't be getting all the blame that he's getting from some people, but he had to fall on his sword because that's part of the responsibility that comes with being a head coach.

Pretty fukking obvious to me......Last year Ron and Matt Barnes were publicly going at him. Ron called him a fat ass on two separate occasions (once during a team practice and again on the radio).
