Nov 12th 2012

well....obviously the Lakers stayed dedicated to moving on
Nov 12th 2012

pringles wants nate mcmillan to be defensive coach asst per twitter
Nov 12th 2012
248
Nate McMillian is a better head coach than Pringles.
Nov 12th 2012
249
lol if mcmillian takes over for antoni like woodson did.
Nov 12th 2012
252
D'Antoni's legacy: getting overqualified black guys jobs
Nov 12th 2012
254
      While I'm not gonna claim cism on Brown's firing/D'Antoni's hiring...
Nov 12th 2012

           K. I'll settle for "unfair."
Nov 12th 2012
264
           It definitely was unfair.
Nov 12th 2012
269
                Nah, here's the problem:
Nov 12th 2012
274
           how?
Nov 12th 2012
268
                Gentry went to the WCF where he took the Lakers to 6.

He is which is why I would be surprised if Pringles brought him in
Nov 12th 2012
259
      Woodson was too, and Pringles brought him in.
Nov 12th 2012
266
      exactly, I doubt he makes the same mistake twice
Nov 12th 2012
281
      For clarity's sake, I think I read at the time
Nov 12th 2012

           ^^^ exactly, D'Antoni had NAN to do with Woodson coming in
Nov 12th 2012
311
                Damn. I see why Zeke stays around the Knicks
Nov 12th 2012
314
                Zeke and Woody were teammates at IU.
Nov 12th 2012
329
                     Zeke did the Knicks a HUGE favor. Somebody page Basa
Nov 12th 2012

                Was the Zeke reference there based on
Nov 12th 2012
316
                     Zeke referred Woodson to Dolan.
Nov 12th 2012
328
      Pringles got a fresh deal and the lakers owe Brown 18 mil
Nov 12th 2012

      wasn't Nate asst. coach for one of Coach K's US teams?
Nov 12th 2012
288
Hopefully it happens

Pringles just came off one of the great underachieving

Literally the only reason Woodson has the job now is
because Pringles was horrible.

I mean, if this is a "good job," didn't a black guy just have it?

Celtics gig is not "a good job?"

Not really feeling this.

I love McMillan, I don't think he'd have been a great fit based on what he has done previously. He used a deep bench and ran a really perimeter oriented offense. Not the look for a team with Howard, Gasol and a bench made up of pro wrestling jobbers.

That said, D'Antoni I don't get either. This does not look like a running team to me.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Thing is, Nash and Kobe don't have the legs to outscore teams like his old Suns teams did.

He does have a big plus in Dwight over Amare, but will he be able to effectively use Dwight's talent in order to provide a big enough defensive presence?

In response to Reply # 12


  

          

It wasn't my first choice but I expect Nash will will be unleashed so offensive efficiency should be off the charts. If D12 is enough of a rebounding, defensive presence to slow teams down a bit this might not be that bad at all. Just gotta see how it plays out...

They were going to improve regardless.

Still haven't heard a good reason why Bickerstaff
can't keep the job.

Now an underqualified white guy gets to take credit.

In response to Reply # 69


  

          


i.e. If you asked Bernie Bickerstaff to coach,
he would have taken the job.

Bickerstaff wasn't interested because he knows
how shit goes. He's been a black coach in basketball
for a minute.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

1. I'm not convinced PJ's heart would have been all the way in it this season. It's a huge psychological investment to be on that championship or bust shit. no training camp with the players..I don't know. I think Pringles' hunger might be a tad stronger than Feel.

2. The guy who should have the ball the most gets to run his O. I'm good with that.

3. Pringles' shortcomings on D can be offset by D12. Plus PJs attention to D wasn't much to write home about either.

meh...I'm tryin here lol

In response to Reply # 19


  

          


He's awful at managing minutes (see: The Knicks; one
of the basic things Woodson did was give more guys
a chance and distribute minutes more evenly, put
guys in better situations to be successful)

He's awful at coaching defense

His offensive system is for dumb, young teams with
Steve Nash and 3 guys who can jump high, not for
38 year old jumpshooters (which the Lakers are)
with a dominant big man

Bickerstaff was winning. Not sure why you didn't just
ride with that.

it is gonna be entertaining basketball...but not gonna be 'win a chip' basketball. Horrible defense....quick shoot offense....the defensive rotations are gonna be crap.....my whole enthusiasm the last few days just got sucker punched. I have never been a fan of this dude, and I hated him with a passion last year watching NY...this sucks so bad, I am horribly sad today.

I'm South Indian (from Hyderabad)..

Almost a night and day difference from Punjabis.

Every state in India is almost a different country into itself with its cuisine, language, customs, religious views etc. Even the people's facial features look different (asides from the black hair and brown skin..about the only thing we have in common other than a national language of Hindi)


Admittedly, I don't follow Indian sports other than Cricket (that too, only when we play those terrorist savages)

Thing is, they turned him down. He was the first guy they interviewed and all signs pointed to him coming back. But if you feel better spinning it that way hope it warms your heart.

Was it that Jackson wanted Belichick power in LA?

Lakers couldn't meet them so he told them to kick rocks
Feel basically wanted nothing to do with this team unless it was ridiculously beneficial for him to come back
and I don't blame him, this team is set up for failure
bwhaahhahahah

Phil was expected to accept the job Monday. His agent was coming in to negotiate the contract. This was the Lakers not wanting to be saved by Phil again. Not Phil saying kick rocks. I don't think Phil being stunned they told him they were going with D'antoni would have been reported if it was him telling them kick rocks. The Lakers panicked it seem so they wouldn't be seen as needing Phil again.

that's half the season
and he still wanted $10 mil a year , "control of the team", and who knows what else
do you understand how negotiations work?
obviously the lakers decided to go another route (L)
but don't try to spin it like they didn't want him when they basically begged him to come back

When did I say the Lakers didn't want him? I said they decided to turn him down. Which is uhh you know what happened. They could have easily accepted his demands which probably weren't as excessive as reported. I've only made an assessment based off the stories I've read. Not off my opinion or need to clown the Lakers.

In response to Reply # 51


  

          

not because they don't want you , or don't need you.....
but because they can't run a business that way
that's why i asked you if you knew how negotiations worked?
the lakers came to Feel. they can't force him to come back under their terms. he has to let THEM know what it takes
Feel responded with what he deemed acceptable
which sounds like some crazy "give it or fuck u" ass requests
makes you wonder how serious Feel even was
did they even give D'antoni a face to face interview? now he's the coach?

Exactly if you make excessive demands you can get turned down. I don't think we're making different points just that you see it as Phil clowning them, and I decided to use the phrase "turned down." Like I said I think they hired him to avoid needing Phil. It was another panic move that will not work.

even having contacted the dude you really wanted
Kupchak saw the lakers in the preseason, if he knew they didn't want Mike Brown should have been talking to Feel on the low for a minute
instead you put the organization in a corner , Feel has ALL the leverage and is smart enough to use it and you make ANOTHER panic move and hire a coach that is basically a punchline at this point

Offense wasn't even the problem, weren't the lakers top 10 offense when Brown got fired?
so you make this move so 'Antoni can give Morris and Hill more minutes while giving up 100+ points a night?

They went after Chris Paul because he's the best point
guard on the planet, you imbecile

That means in the half court and the open court

Chris Paul might be *deadlier* in the half court

That's specifically what makes him so great; he's
well rounded.

>they wanna anotha Magic Johnson
>the consolation was Steve Nash

No, they wanted a good point guard.

None of the other elite young ones were
available.

They took the elite old one.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-plaschke-lakers-dantoni-20121112,0,2305319.column


By Bill Plaschke

November 12, 2012, 5:00 a.m.

The new Lakers coach famously wants his players to shoot in seven seconds or less. Im not going to require that long to list the reasons that hiring Mike D'Antoni was yet another Buss blunder.

He's never taken a team to an NBA Finals. He has a losing record in the playoffs. He doesn't coach defense. His sprinting offense will be tested on a team led by aging guys who no longer sprint.

And, oh yeah, he's not Phil Jackson.


I'll repeat what I wrote on Friday, only now with a greater and sadder emphasis: The only way the panicky firing of Mike Brown makes even an ounce of sense is if he was immediately replaced by Jackson.

Turns out, not only did Jim Buss not have a deal in place with Jackson when he fired Brown -- an inconceivable truth -- but he also wasn't prepared to make a deal. Buss apparently walked away from Jackson partially because the coach asked for an ownership piece of the team. Magic Johnson wins five championship rings and gets a piece of the Lakers, but Jackson's five championship rings gets him the door? This couldnt be because Jim Buss never really liked Jackson, could it?

If you insist on applauding the Buss family for great ownership in moving so fast on firing Brown, then you must rip them for not having his logical replacement already in place, and you must be sickened that they didnt realize the only man for that job, at this time, at any cost, was Jackson.

Mike D'Antoni is a great guy and a charismatic presence. If they add some younger and quicker pieces, the Lakers could eventually be wildly fun. But he has even less credibility with players than Mike Brown. He is exactly as one-dimensonal as Mike Brown. And his postseason basketball success makes Mike Brown look like, well, Jackson.

If you want to hire D'Antoni, you give Brown more than five games to get this roster figured out, because the transition time for D'Antoni is going to be long and the rewards are going to be questionable. If you want to hire D'Antoni, you make darn sure this season is trashed first, because there are no guarantees that his system can get any team past the second round.

Once it became obvious that Buss wouldn't give in to Jackson's incredible demands -- do you really blame Jackson for his asking price? -- then they should have just handed the team to Bernie Bickerstaff and taken their time in a national search. Instead, they settled on a guy who is recovering from knee-replacement surgery and can't even join the team immediately, they settled on him in about two days, and they relied on his best reference being a point guard with a fractured leg.

What about interviewing Brian Shaw? How about Nate McMillan? If Jackson is not an option, don't you at least look at Jerry Sloan?

D'Antoni coached in New York, so he can handle the heat here. The problem is, he went 121-167 there and could not even weasel a winning record out of a roster that, at one point, included Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin.

D'Antoni coached basketball's most exciting team in Phoenix, so he knows entertainment. The problem: Those Phoenix teams had flexible fliers like Leandro Barbosa, Shawn Marion, a younger Steve Nash and a healthier Stoudemire. All that, and they still lost in the Western Conference finals in consecutive seasons.

His teams famously don't guard anybody. His offense is famously based on youth and quickness. His is a game of glitter but, so far, no NBA gold. How long is Dwight Howard sticking around if he doesn't think this guy can make the Lakers a winner?

On Friday night, in the wake of the Brown firing, everyone from the fans to Kobe Bryant were begging for Phil Jackson. Come this morning, they should be begging for an explanation.

One could list the reasons that the Mike Brown fire/Mike D'Antoni hire is just the latest in a series of moves that, despite their glittering roster, illustrate a huge vacancy in the Lakers' top-level leadership. But it's going to take a lot more than seven seconds.

the other two may too. we like being right, sure, but mostly, we're in this for the education we can gift to the youth.

laker fans, you were kinda panicked after a bad five games, and you didn't want to believe that the beloved purple and gold was capable of a racist act. it's cool, i get it. admitting the faults of those closest to us can be very difficult. we don't expect it to be easy.

now, however, you've got nowhere to hide. mike brown got fired, and a less accomplished coach got hired. the writing on the wall couldn't be any clearer.

we don't even demand apologies. just admit we're right and be vigilant on dat CISM watch in the future, no matter how close to home it lands.

to the point magic demanded a trade (opposite of kobe's public statements), had no previous resume of success, and has since been a failure as a coach in multiple opportunities.

meanwhile, mike brown is loved by former players, has a history of making the NBA finals and improving teams, won coach of the year, and had not played 2 full games with all three of his best players on the court at once.

I know the background with Westhead really well so you don't have to educate me on it. Kobe's public statements are all pretty much just PR at this point...do you remember his whole schpeal about Lakers-Celtics series just being another series and how it meant nothing more to him than other series....and then how relieved he was in the post game 7 presser and admitted he was basically just lying to keep himself in check? Kobe's carefully chosen words mean less than his stare of frustration in the Utah game? Did you see Dwight laughing and shaking his head when Brown put him back into the game vs Detroit? Did you see Dwight completely checked out during the Utah game when Brown was trying to go over a defensive mistake with him?

>meanwhile, mike brown is loved by former players, has a

>three of his best players on the court at once.

He's a good dude who is loved by his players, made one NBA finals, who didn't play 2 games with three of his best players at once...but continued to show the exact same lack of game management abilities as last season. That's the entire fucking point that no one has addressed...there are concrete examples of why he wasn't the right coach. In addition, this team has such a limited window of contention AND is trying to re-sign a superstar in Dwight Howard, he wasn't the right fit.
>

I've already justified this shit 100x with concrete examples of why Brown was a bad coach for this team because he showed zero signs of improvement with his game management. In addition, this team needs to win RIGHT NOW...Mitch said exactly that in his press conference as well.

so we're gonna put this on DWIGHT now? holy shit. awesome. five games with dwight, get fired. how long did stan van gundy last with dwight hating on him? hint: LONGER THAN FIVE GAMES. lol.

I addressed it long ago. Mike brown, whether he was good or bad, was fired *faster* than similar white coaches ever would be. Mike Brown, whether you liked him as a coach or not, did not get the same chances coaches of other races would get. can you agree to that? if so, why you fighting it? Doesn't matter if the racism is that incompetent whites get longer than incompetent blacks or if it's that competent whites get longer than competent blacks, shit, or if incompetent whites get more time than competent blacks. what matters is the inequality in all three. and that's what's transparent here--that inequality.

>addition, this team needs to win RIGHT NOW...Mitch said
>exactly that in his press conference as well.

and this is the only team ever to be in that situation, right? because it's the only team to do what was done.

i mean, from the jump, I agreed. mike brown was a bad fit for the lakers. but bad fits get more time than he did--or they at least get fired in the offseason if it's about "fit" with the players.

Did I put it on Dwight? I just gave two more examples, good grief dude. Here's another one...during Bickerstaff's first game as head coach, there was a huddle shot of everyone crowded around, locked in on what he was saying, and both our commentators made it a point to contrast that with how the players conducted had been conducting themselves in Mike Brown timeouts.

You are using such general brush strokes without looking at the specific context and gravitas of THIS team and situation. Name me another team where you had 3 aging superstars AND a young one whose re-signing is very dependent upon the success of the team this year? This season is not only important for the present but to guarantee our future as well. There was enough doubt with Mike Brown and his lack of improvement to give him the axe...shit, I was leading that march.

Bad fits get more time when there isn't THIS much pressure to win right now and there is a chance of your superstar center leaving in free agency.

In response to Reply # 217


  

          

in which the specifics of a case are SO SPECIAL AND UNIQUE that the fact that it fits a classic pattern of wider truth (black coaches don't get the same chances) is less relevant. but it isn't. any case can be spun like that. there are many cases where aging superstars + young and unsigned players are together and coaches don't get fired after five games.

lol. so one game with bickerstaff proves brown was bad? good god. and besides, you think the players conducting themselves in timeouts had nothing to do with knowing the front office was about to (or at least considering ) shit can the dude?

addressed above. this is plea copping at its worst--because there's some truth to it, it overlooks the fact that Kupchak put that team together and then didn't give brown a chance to succeed with it.

>Bad fits get more time when there isn't THIS much pressure to

lol @ this being some special level of pressure above and beyond any other pressure evah. and if it was that critical a time, how come the FO didn't realize it earlier and do something then? why not have a replacement plan IN PLACE before firing dude?

Not any case, but this case definitely can be. This is the premier franchise with the highest expectations of themselves in the league...and you have a 2 year window for now and are trying to maintain a superstar. Those are in fact SO SPECIAL AND UNIQUE circumstances.

Did I say that? I was showing the contrast between the focus of the players before and after Brown. By all accounts, no one knew he was going to be fired. By all accounts, it was a direct mandate from Jerry Buss dude.

Here's the thing: He carried over the piss poor game management, minute management, and rotation skills that he exhibited last season. We were always going to win games, it's about how we get there that matters the most because we have so many old legs.

If they fire him after last season, does that make it any better? Then you guys are up here saying "he did such a great job in the OKC series, why fire him??? Why not give him a chance??? Racism!". Can't have that shit both ways so miss me with that. The management gave him a chance to change his processes and they were exactly the same. I didn't say a negative thing about dude until I saw that nothing had changed in terms of his in-game approach. And even you can admit, the level of pressure considering the team, age, and Dwight's impending FA is extremely extremely high.

You've lost the right to comment on Lakers
basketball.

You don't know anything about the sport, whatsoever

If you were an actual fan, you'd be railing against
the D'Antoni hiring and calling it what it is

So, you're reward for being awful with the Knicks
is getting the Laker job?

Bwahahahahahahhahaah

Until that point, stick to your normal nonsense of picking and choosing shit that you reply to.

I've outlined multiple times why Mike Brown was not the right coach for the team and given numerous concrete basketball examples. You still haven't responded to any of those nor will you. I admitted I was wrong about D'Antoni being a serious consideration, doesn't mean anything else I said was untrue.

251. "As promised...."
In response to Reply # 123


  

          

Mike D'antoni has had all the talent in the world and hasn't even gotten to the Finals with it. Yeah, yeah..."an Horry hip check away" but so what. He was chosen for 2 reasons:

1. Nash and Kobe love him. While Kobe respects the dude and loves him as a person/player (as has been said, he wore #8 because of D'Antoni), he was probably chosen more for Nash. You cannot get further from what Brown was running than you can installing D'Antoni. One of the biggest criticisms for Brown was he wasn't utilizing Nash. Well, that'll happen now...in spades.

2. Phil clearly overplayed his hand. I don't agree with not giving him the job, but...yeah. He did.

Every one of Brown's deficiencies was on display in the preseason and start to this season, and it was seemingly not improving even a little bit. But D'antoni's flaws will manifest when it fucking matters MOST. His postseason record in the SSOL era Suns was 26-25, which is really not that much better than Brown's 5-7 record with the Lakers when it boils down to it. By the way, 8 of those wins were against the terrible Kobe/Odom/Smush/Walton/Kwame Lakers and the Dunleavy-coached Clippers in 2006.

If the Lakers are trying to win games in the regular season, then they might do it. That's where Phil doesn't give a fuck. And if there's something we know, it's that the 2 coaches who don't seem to care about the regular season (Phil and Pop) have fist fulls of rings. D'Antoni has none. Or Finals appearances. DESPITE TALENT FOR DAYS.

Is this the most talented roster he's ever had? Maybe. But Mike Brown did more with LESS. If you're gonna get rid of Mike Brown THAT early in the season, then I'm expecting a HUGE hire. This is not that. This is potentially disastrous.

And another thing: the last 2 times the Lakers opted to NOT hire Phil Jackson have been fucking awful. Rudy T and Mike Brown were utter failures. So I have NO confidence in this move at all and I think it was done because Phil told Buss, "Your son fucking sucks." and Jerry just couldn't get down with that.

To me, Mike Brown and Mike D'Antoni are on the same level of coaches. Not to say they're equal, cause I really don't care to rank them like that. I just mean that they're deficient in ways that championship teams NEED to be. This is NOT a Mike Brown team, and this is NOT a D'Antoni team.

I hope I'm wrong.

TL; DR: I'm just glad it wasn't Dunleavy.

In response to Reply # 100


  

          

I didn't critique Mike Brown until this season when I saw zero improvement in his decision making and minute management. I can even find you the pre-season post where I was telling a fellow Laker fan to relax because I felt that Mike would finally come around now that he didn't face the same talent constraints as last season.

Being wrong about D'Antoni has no bearing on anything else I've said...you obviously want to paint it that way but you still haven't answered one actual basketball related post about Mike Brown's fault. Keep sticking to shock because you have no substance.

Let me tell you ahead of time how its going to go:

Kobe will run the team. D'Antoni is a likeable dude
who won't do shit. The Lakers will win, because that
was inevitable with this much talent.

They'll get bounced in the playoffs at some point,
because they are old and slow and gimpy.

In response to Reply # 125


  

          

Obviously I wanted Phil because I clearly thought the prospect of hiring D'Antoni was just a ploy. That being said, I can't critique a coach without seeing how he interacts and adapts to his new team and situation, particularly one that has 2 superstars who like him a lot and are very vocal. D'Antoni has consistently said he made a serious mistake in the past by not stressing the defensive side of the ball and that he would hire a defensive lead assistant when given the chance to coach again.

I didn't blast on Mike Brown until I saw a complete lack of improvement in his game management skills, this season. If I see the same shit or other negatives with D'Antoni after we have been through some games, you will see me on here criticizing.

Weird, you didn't praise him for giving OKC a hell of a
series last year (he coached against OKC better than
Pop did)

So I've already seen your double standards at work and
don't really trust your ability to be fair any longer

Sorry

In response to Reply # 139


  

          

Here's the thing...Brown did a fine job in that series but there was a lot of fatigue associated with Kobe and Pau that came from the heavy minutes they were playing during the course of the season. I was very confident Brown would see that and with the addition of the Nash plus Howard and talent on the bench, would pull back on their minutes, particularly coming off their participation in the olympics...but that obviously didn't happen.

You can think whatever you want about me but I don't have agendas other than wanting my teams to win...and I will approach D'Antoni the same way I handled Brown.

I haven't heard a peep from dude since woody showed how inept dantoni truly was.

d'antoni literally used every other option at pg, douglas, shump, melo and it was not working.

Melo was actually 'trying' to do what dantoni wanted him to but it clearly was not his game and he was not comfortable.

People say melo ran d'antoni out of town as well (the whole team actually did) but i don't hear them giving him credit for woodson though. Can't really have it both ways.

D'Antoni can be a dick and is the type of coach that wears on players after a while, that was the main reason he left Phoenix and it happened even quicker in NY. Him and Kobe are definitely going to bump heads.

Unless Pringles picked up some people skills from Coach K with team USA over the summer it's not going to be pretty. Honestly I think that may have a lot to do with this hire. Powers that be want D'Antoni to take over as national team coach when K steps down but his resume didn't really support it.

In all of his seasons as a head coach, D'Antoni:
1. Has NEVER had a team finish higher than 24th in defense
2. Chose Chris Duhon to run the point over Stephon Marbury
3. Wanted to keep Gallinari instead of Carmelo Anthony
4. Wanted to have TONEY DOUGLAS run the PG position
5. Only put in Jeremy Lin after Carmelo Anthony kept putting him on
6. Literally ran Jeremy Lin into the ground
7. Did I say he doesn't like defense?

And Brown has accomplished more with less

Believe me, I didn't like him at all in New York but I also believe you can't simply take a coaches decisions in one context and apply them to how he will be in a completely different context. I gave Mike Brown the same exact chance.

Mike has also talked about the mistakes he made, particularly in how he would hire a defensive assistant to lead the defense.

Mike Brown proved he could coach the Lakers. He coached
the Lakers against OKC better than Pop did. Easily.

But I guess that doesn't matter.

5 games in the regular fucking season matters.

LOL. Knicks were shitty on offense too. And D'Antoni's
ROTATIONS and MINUTES were DREADFUL.

No, 5 games isn't what matters and this is exactly the fucking problem with you in this conversation: you refuse to actually comprehend the reasons why I wanted him gone in lieu of your silly ass agendas. Nothing to do with the offense or the defense but his lack of improvement in game management and decision making. Numerous examples of his ineptitude in that regard, I refuse to keep posting up the same shit because you don't respond to actual details anyways.

Dreadful with the KNICKS with a completely different personnel and situation. Again, I can't criticize someone for things they haven't even done yet with this Laker team.

cause woodson was forced on him. this came after he quit on the knicks?

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I bet he likes (or hates - ol) the hire. I'm kinda of wait and see on it because I think D12 might be enough D to allow this team to flourish given the offensive output under a D'Antoni system.

i'm not sure if the lakers have the precise personnel for what he typically does, but hiring an excellent basketball mind is usually a reasonable decision. even if the lakers aren't as fast or perimeter-based as d'antoni's teams in the past, he's got nash to orchestrate the offense and the best defensive big man in the NBA. plus, kobe loves him, which seems to lower the chances of a carmelo-style sabotage.

anyone bitching about d'antoni's coaching of defense is clueless. the suns, even when anchored by porous amare stoudemire, were never worse than mediocre (17th, 16th, 13th, 16th in points given up per possession). and the knicks, until camelo tanked to derail linsanity, were 5th in the NBA in defense (and 2nd during the time melo and amare were both hurt). d'antoni isn't thibs, but he's fine. and he has dwight howard now.

i hope the lakers win with him, however distasteful that might be. it's important for people with fresh ideas about basketball to succeed and be emulated.

Like I said, Phil was my obvious first choice but the marriage of Nash running D'Antoni's offense + D12 anchoring the defense could work. They may need to tweek the personnel some but I've been pushing for younger, faster role players so I hope that happens. We''ll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

there's also a huge difference between being the worst in the NBA and being 16th.

as i said, his defense in phoenix was mediocre. but last year, when he had a good defensive big man for the first time, it was fifth for most of the season. anyway, his reputation for ignoring defense is overstated because dolts can't fathom that pace plays a serious role in points given up.

i guess we'll see, but i'll take the 8 years of mediocre-at-best defense over the half a season of good defense with tyson chandler. that's much more an impact of how good tyson chandler is at anchoring a defense than any indication of coaching competence. we'll see if howard has that same impact, considering he's played for teams that are generally similarly good defensively, but not as consistently as Chandler. it might be a decent test of d'antoni's defensive coaching.

In response to Reply # 172


  

          

Now it's NOT SMART to see HOW MANY POINTS YOUR TEAM GIVES UP PER GAME? REALLY?

All you cats calling me stupid and whatever for pointing out basic analytical data and not having to go any deeper than that, go for it. The point still stands:

MIKE D'ANTONI DOES NOT COACH DEFENSE

Go by any metric. Go by the eye test. Pull up any stat you want to pull on it. If you honestly believe that D'Antoni is a good defensive coach then there's nothing more to discuss

And Guinness, how's Harden doing? And aren't you the cat that said you'd advise against working on a mid range game because of your stats?
That's pretty smart

In response to Reply # 186


  

          

It's basic basketball....the pace at which you play at will dictate how many possessions the other team has. Hence, if you score quicker, the other team has more possessions and thus will score more points in terms of absolute value. You have to divide points per game by number of possessions in order to account for pace.

For pace sake...you realize at THEIR pace they NEVER CAME CLOSE to being as bad on defense based on that Stat? In other words, even at that pace they weren't giving up the most ppg in the league

In other words, just because you run an uptempo offense doesn't mean you will give up a lot of points on the other end. You can be an uptempo team and not give up that many points...ask the defending champs

Fuck those bullshit stats...lol

Basketball fans can actually SEE that dude's teams have been anywhere from mediocre to shaky on defense throughout the years...No matter how it's spun, it is what it is....

The Lakers issues stemmed from a lackluster defense and shaky bench play...How is their new offensive minded coach going to get their defense back in gear? That's the question that needs to be asked...

All other things held constant, Team A allows 50 points on 30 possessions and Team B allows 60 points on 40 possessions...which team are you inclined to believe had the better defensive game?

Don't insult my intelligence with that dumb shit, please

You said yourself that D'Antoni admitted to needing help
with D

Now your'e saying he's not that bad with D

So either you're lying or D'Antoni has no idea what he's
doing

jesus dude, you really are being intentionally dense these days.

I never said D'Antoni is a good defensive coach...simply that you can't use PPG to paint him as a bad one.

Never finished as low on opponents ppg as D'Antoni's teams did? And that is a WAY faster pace than anyone had ever ran?

And I'm willing to bet that opponents FG% was pretty high under D'Antoni too

I really blame the stat geeks for this....Basketball is not a word problem....

I look at his Mike D's record and underwhelming history coaching defense...There's a reason he's trying to bring in Nate McMillan as an assistant...

This is not rocket science...And really, no one is saying the Lakers are going to suck...They are a real, bonafied playoff team....But this is about winning it ALL now....And unfortunately, Mike D is not the man for that job...

BUT, the way in which they pulled the rug out from under phil is downright despicable....its just as bad as the way they handled brian shaw, ronnie lester and mike brown.

again, they clearly did it just to go through the motions....had no intention of ever really following through on it. can't say that i'm a fan of the way that jim buss runs shit.

not thrilled with the way he conducts his business either. he did brian shaw dirty, then ronnie lester and half the staff, now mike brown and pj.

he may well end up winning a couple championships with this team, but its hard to root for an owner that has consistently been such a dick head.

The Takers are not winning this year or next. Phil was the far more sensible hire. I hope the Busses rethink this decision.

Kobe's still better than AI, Bron and Jordan. He's far superior to Jordan on the wizards especially. He's already played 5 and a half (counting this season) years more than Jordan. I'm just pointing this out before Jordanistas start celebrating.

Why did you think Mike Brown was incompetent and
D'Antoni wasn't?

And why do you think Mike Brown didn't have
"oddities" instead of him being incompetent

Mike Brown is a proven coach in this league; its
pretty clear what's going on here.

And Lebron has, on numerous occasions, said Brown was
the reason those Cavs teams had so much chemistry and
cohesion

Sounds like you're just making shit up

Brown is a fabulous coach, has done much more with
less than D'Antoni, far more qualified and accomplished

341. "while I dont particular love either guy, what 'much more' has Brown done"
In response to Reply # 232


  

          

because if we want to give him credit for getting to a Finals Appearance sweep with Lebron as a One-Man-Army & having a couple 60+ seasons for similar reasons over D'Antoni going out in a couple conference finals, shouldn't we also acknowledge that it was much tougher to advance in the West during the mid-to-late-00's versus in the East from 2007-to-2010?

To me their areas of concentration are different but I fail to see how either one has somehow been vastly superior from a results perspective.

And let's leave out all the talk of how amzing a job Brown did with last year's Lakers in a 62%-winning-regular-season where they went 7 first-round games with the Nugs & losing to the finals-appearing Thunder in five.

That wasn't exactly some masterful example of overachieving through coaching, that was right about where you might expect a team that went 70%-winning regular-season/6 games first-round/second-round-sweep-to-the-eventual-champs might finish with no major changes in between besides Kobe getting his knee German-Engineered in between the two offseasons & Lamar getting shipped out for his pout.

Thank you, Phillip, for turning it down or whatever. That guy and his staff looked really helpless at the end. I don't forget. All there is there is a comfort level and not much else. The big 3 are all fond of D'antoni... I think above all the x's and o's shit you gotta have players who will play for the coach. Look at Mike Woodson's record right now... that dude failed miserably before but now he has a group that plays for him.

Wasn't the problem with Mike Woodson that he had a good regular season record with the Hawks but a horrible playoff record? I know they underachieved in the regular season right before he got canned, but for the most part, his regular season record was pretty good.

wasn't working and then they started tuning him out.

>I think above all the x's and o's shit you gotta have players who will play for the coach. Look at Mike Woodson's record right now... that dude failed miserably before but now he has a group that plays for him.

They were doing what d'antoni was asking them to do from the jump. It just wasn't working on a consistent basis.

woody came in, told them to do something different and they had success.

He told amare to start rebounding and playing defense, he told melo to get in shape, defend and BE A LEADER, something no other coach told him to do, he tol JR to pull up his pants and a whole bunch of other things, JR said no other coach ever talked to him.

and when exactly did woodson fail miserably?

for 5 years. Whether that's a knock on him or the players, I don't really know. But he did look miserable coaching in the playoffs. Dude had one offensive play --- run JJ off a screen. Are Melo and JR Smith really guys you want to be barking at? The point is Woody has a group now that rides for him and I think the same will be true with D'antoni.

Were those Hawks teams supposed to be NBA Champs?

LOL -- he had them in the very good, not quite elite
category all the time.

Its Atlanta -- nobody fucking cares about basketball which
is why that team reached its peak. The city don't care, the
ownership don't care, and so the players stopped caring.
Its just a wasteland and Woodson pretty much maximized
that situation. Plus, Joe Johnson isn't really a franchise
player, even though he was paid like one. Its hard to build
a real contender with two almost, but not quite franchise
players (Josh Smith and JJ)

With the Knicks, he has a fanbase and ownership that care
a little bit. He performed better than D'Antoni with the SAME
TALENT. He's simply better than D'Antoni is. Let's not cop
pleas just because he's black. He's better.

ok and D'antoni had dudes 'riding' for him in new york too in Lin, Melo, Amare, Jr, Chandler etc until they got tired of losing. Then dudes looked at each other and said this guy sucks.

>Johnson details Brown's fatal flaws

Doug Kyod
UPDATED NOV 12, 2012 4:56 AM ET

Magic Johnson said he had nothing to do with the firing of Mike Brown, but he sure does agree with it.

The Lakers legend told USA Today that the marriage between his former team and Brown wasnt right from the beginning. He also said he completely supported the decision because the Lakers cant wait around to start winning.

The Lakers are about winning championships, Johnson said. Theyre not about waiting. The Lakers dont give people fair shakes. Other organizations, they have time and patience because theyre not about winning the championships.

Brown went 41-25 last season with the Lakers before losing in the conference semi-finals to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers were 1-4 before Brown was fired this season. Brown went 272-138 in five seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers while LeBron James was there. The fact that the Cavs did not win a championship in Browns time with James was another reason to fire him, according to Magic.

We have to go back to history with Mike. Mike didnt get it done in Cleveland, Johnson said. If he cant get the championship done in Cleveland, having the games best player (James), how are you going to come to Los Angeles and win it? Its just too bad.

Johnson didnt pull any punches in critiquing the now-unemployed Brown. Johnson was able to pinpoint the fatal flaw that got Brown fired in Cleveland and Los Angeles.

Mike Brown has one big flaw in his coaching: He does not make adjustments in game. Thats what killed him in Cleveland, and thats what killed him with the Lakers, Johnson said. If you go back to every series that the Cleveland Cavaliers lost, and every series that the Lakers lost, Mike Brown did not make adjustments within the game. Thats his biggest flaw. Its not preparation. Its not his defense, before the game and getting a game plan together. Its within the game.

The Lakers hired Mike D'Antoni as coach late Sunday night after Phil Jackson met with the team on Saturday but came away without a job offer. The team has won its past two with Bernie Bickerstaff as interim head coach and will continue to play under him until D'Antoni, who recently had knee surgery, is ready to join the team.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

from Phil Jackson. I'm assuming him wanting to have player personel control was part of it. Phil could share that with Mitch, but probably not with Mitch and Jim.

the reasons for moving on from Phil 2 years ago..and moving beyond the triangle offense still exist today...

although I would have wanted Sloan or McMillan before D'Antoni.... this does make sense...

primarily because of Kobe's relationship with D'Antoni.... D'Antoni was Kobe's favorite player in Italy coming up....in fact I believe Kobe chose #8 because it was Mike D'Antoni's number in Italy. Also, he's definitely Steve Nash's guy.

Look...I like D'antoni as a coach...I thought he dealt well with roster limitations with the Knicks, and the fact that Carmello seemed determined to have things go HIS way...... With the Suns...I mean he made a finals with a roster that certainly wasn't full of all stars..

my only thing will be the defense. D'Antoni needs to step the Lakers up on that end of the floor..

We'll see.....

D'antoni's Suns team had THREE all-stars. THREE.

Woodson took the SAME Knicks roster and did more with
it in New York.

Pringles OVERLOOKED Jeremy Lin on the roster. It
took CARMELO to advocate for Lin to get some burn.
(not debatable; its a fact)

it's about as bad a GM/VP stint as anyone has had in pro sports if you look at everything...

When they finally looked like they were on to something what Mello wanted to do was conflicting with what was working..

no way you can hang the blame for the knicks on d'antoni without mentioning the condition Isiah Thomas left that team in...

no way.

with this and the sheer mention validates everything that Bags has ever said.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

269. "It definitely was unfair. "
In response to Reply # 264


  

          

I just think that it was admitting to a mistake rather than being fair about it. Mike Brown got fucked. He didn't have enough time to justify firing him. He's a good guy, and an okay coach, and he should have gotten more time...but that's something the Lakers don't have.

They shouldn't have hired him in the first place. He would have been a fine coach for the Rudy T 1/2 year of Lakers, but this was not the team for him. Wasn't built for his strengths, too much at stake. And rather than waiting until the appropriate time, they cut the cord. I feel for him a little, but he did get paid so there's that.

They could have moved on in the offseason.

The reason they did not is because Mike Brown was looking
very good and in command of that team, especially against
an OKC team with 3 times their talent. Like I said: Mike Brown's
Lakers were more impressive against OKC than Pop's Spurs were.

And Brown's Lakers looked EONS better than Feel's Lakers against
the Mavs.

Its fucked up to only give him partial credit for the Lakers looking
good at the end of the last season and for looking bad FIVE GAMES
into this season with new talent featuring guys who aren't even
healed from injury.

When shit like that happens, its fuel for paranoid black guys like
me to complain.

And when D'Antoni, FRESH OFF OF UNDERACHIEVING with the Knicks,
gets the job, it pours gasoline on the situation.

In response to Reply # 268


  

          

A close 6, where the 5th game was won by a miracle Ron Artest tip in.

He had less talent than the D'Antoni Suns did, where he lost in 6 to the Mavs and 5 to the Spurs. Nobody thought the Gentry-led Suns could do shit. They beat dogshit out of the Spurs by sweeping them in the semi's

http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2010/matchup/_/teams/spurs-suns

2/10 predicted they'd win, and in 7. They blew them the fuck out.

D'Antoni's Suns teams were constantly in the upper echelon of the Western Conference. This team was a 3 seed and not expected to get out of the 2nd round. Gentry did more with less.

the 2005-06 suns went to the WCF without amare. their leading scorers were:

marion
nash
bell
diaw
house
barbosa
james jones

genry's were:

amare
nash
richardson
hill
frye
dudley
dragic
robin lopez
barbosa

the idea of judging accomplishment by individual games in the playoffs is pretty silly to me, but both teams lost 4-2 in the WCF.

In response to Reply # 283


  

          

His PER & Win shares say that D'Antoni's not a bad defensive coach (even despite that players that have played under D'Antoni said he doesn't even worry about defense)
His stats say James Harden is the 2nd best SG in the league after Manu (both of which came off the bench)

Also, by his logic, if D'Antoni's better than Gentry by getting to the WCF, then Mike Brown AND Stan Van Gundy are better than D'Antoni

and went to sleep, hoping it was a dream. Now I am up, and this shit is still real. We aren't winning a chip. It is not happening. This whole thing is gonna be a clusterfuck season. Jim Buss is killing the Lakers. This fucking hurts. I am almost done getting personally invested in sports. First Manchester United is a fake as fuck posers that won't win the Champions League anytime soon, and now I got a glimmer of hope this weekend with the Lakers, and now it is absolutely crushed.

For all those trying to defend D'Antoni hire; please stop. Maybe you just want to have hope that things will be better, but honestly, this is the worst move we could have made after firing Brown. I really feel so bad for Kobe. He is gonna be stuck on 5. Today is so bad. D'Antoni is an overrated gasbag of a coach, who has no business being a Laker head coach. They aren't winning shit this year, and more importantly; Howard may not even resign. This fucking sucks. I am going back to sleep, I can't even wrap my head around this stupid ass chit.

This fucking coach is gonna run the pick and roll all day, have his guys jack up shots. It is not Channing Frye, Joe Johnson, Barbosa, Marion.....they aren't the ones shooting. It is Metta World Peace jacking shots. You think you are pissed now.....imagine Metta jacking 3's.....

There will be no defense.....None....yeah, Howard will do some stuff...but team D is shit. This is the same dude whose players famously talked about them getting gassed by the Spurs for 68 points in the first half, and all he drew on the board at halftime was more offense...shoot more 3's...


The fans do not deserve this shit. I am going back to sleep. This is such a heartbreaking day.

They might win their next 10.

After which some of y'all will claim that it was a good hire.

But this team is not winning a 'chip.

would win games..my issues with Brown stem from me knowing we can't win a chip with him. We have the talent to win a ton of games this year. But trust me, we aren't winning a chip. This shit hurts man. I am done being emotionally invested in sports.

In response to Reply # 284


  

          

so you can say "real hoop heads know McMillan is a more serious coach," there's absolutely nothing in the regular or postseason record to suggest that Nate is a better coach than D'Antoni.

and, frankly, Nate isn't just bad at offense, he downright sucks at it, much more than D'Antoni sucks at D. pairing the two would be a good fit.

but if you seriously believe Nate gives you a better shot at postseason glory than D'Antoni? then you've been reading too much OKS.

that's all i wanna know. he has to bring in someone who's qualified enough to coach this team to get stops.

we dodged a bullet by not bringing Phil back.

*edit* just read that he'll try to hire McMillan to run the D...that would be an excellent move! LMAO!!! I'M HYPED!!!!

http://creambmp.com/articles/kobe-offers-to-pay-mike-browns-salary-if-he-promise-to-never-coach-in-nba-again/#_

LOS ANGELES After hearing coach Mike Brown was petitioning to be an assistant coach for numerous NBA teams Kobe reached out and made the offer of a lifetime.

I just dont wanna see another team go thru what we went through Said Kobe while speaking to ESPN off record about the private offer he made Mike Brown. When we win I want it to be because im simply the best not because their coach suck, u know? Said Kobe while shifting his eyes in the direction of his 5 championship rings.

Plus, I make that (Browns Salary) in like one month so its nothing to help the other 30 or so teams not struggle like we did at the fate of Mike. I consider it charity.

So far no response from Mike Brown who was last seen standing outside of the Charlotte Bobcats arena hoping to get a meeting.

Maybe he doesn't know what the negotiations were, but I'd put everything I have on Phil asking for too much in SOME department. He might have asked for too much money. Might have been the power thing. Might have been the travelling. But he overplayed his hand and lost out because of it.

I feel like this was an Ariza/Artest type of deal where it became obvious that Phil wanted to get as much as he possibly could and didn't realize there was a chance he DIDNT get the job.

If this were true, then it would have been private. It was as good as done in the public's eyes. That would make the Lakers look (as they do right now) terrible.

>Mike D'Antoni plans to coach Lakers on Sunday

By T.J. Simers
November 13, 2012, 8:36 a.m.

Just finished interviewing new Lakers Coach Mike DAntoni by telephone, and hows that for a fine start in town he's talking to Page 2.

Its going to take a little while to transcribe tape and write a column, but heres how we began Tuesday morning.

"Got bad news for you, Mike. Youre losing 73% to 11% to Phil Jackson in a poll of who people would like to see coaching the Lakers."

DAntoni laughs. "Ive got some really close friends who are Laker fans and they were disappointed I got the job."

Reminded that the fans in Staples Center have been chanting, "We want Phil," DAntoni says, "They cant chant, 'We want Mike,' because they got him."

DAntoni is still recovering from reconstructive surgery on his right knee. Hes getting around now with one crutch or a cane.

He will fly to Los Angeles on Wednesday, meet his team Thursday and says hes probably aiming to make his Lakers coaching debut Sunday.

"When I feel better Ill start coaching, and I think miraculously Ill start feeling better when Steve (Nash) is feeling better," he says. "Ive already tried coaching without him and that didnt work out too well, so Im thinking Ill be smart this time."

If the tape recorder batteries hold up, more to come soon.
