Pau is the only guy I see as a strong player for the Princeton offense. It does not suit Kobe's game at all, is not ideal for Nash's and Howard would be shooting foul shots all night. No one wants that. We already saw it flop, come on, and that is not a "Mike Brown scheme" lol. They ran that in Cleveland? Hell no. That is an Eddie Jordan thing and he is still hanging around collecting a check for whatever reason.

Dwight needed to sit out a month for real.

its so badd there that Kobe is showing Shaq love, now you know it truly rains in Southern california when that has come to pass.

Pringles is a bad coach.....I can be on your side, if you say they should have never hired Pringles....but Brown had to go....black or green, he was the wrong coach for the team. Nothing he did previously, qualified him for the job.

this is etherous to all those lakers fans who were desperately clamoring for him to be hired in the first place

the only ones who were salivating were those who believe that Postrophe is THE INNOVATOR OF BASKETBALL VIOLENCE BAH GAWD BBQ SAUCE!!!!!!!!!1















































so, Guinness.

everyone else said it was bullshit. agenda-wise and otherwise.

yaeh dude the lakers' problem is toatlly the coachang! dr'amtoni EXPOSED AS BAD CAOCH!!!

ADVATIGE CLEVELAMD!!!

Laker fans universally PANNED the Postrophe pick for coach.
And no Laker fan ever said that Postrophe was the SPF. I certainly didn't (I'm not a Laker fan, for the record)

O_E was trying to say Laker fans cheered the end of Mike Brown (mostly true), in favor of the crowning of Postrophe (FALSE)

Most have been shifting blame to Kobe, to Dwight, to whichever player is screwing up on any particular night, as well as Postrophe where appropriate.

The team is old, stubborn (Kobe), injured (Dunce), ill-fit for each other, and the coach is like one of the worst you can put on a team like that. Even his Knicks seemed more appropriate.

but yes... CLEVELAND IS RESPONSIBLE

LeBronies

the lakers are old, slow, injured and playing in a tough conference. they lost with a defensive-minded coach and with an offensive-minded coach. but since it's easier to say "dramtrani bad ,doesnt want to teech defenze ot laker's!!!" than look at the actual numbers, the team's failure to meet expectations falls on the coach.

it's easy to see what went wrong:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/LAL/2013.html

they're 8th in the NBA in offense. that's despite being below average at 3PT accuracy and turnovers, and being the worst in the league in FT%. but anyway, their offense is pretty much okay.

the problem is the defense. they rebound well and keep opponents off the line, but allow FGs at an average rate and are terrible at creating turnovers. the guys who create turnovers are athletic perimeter defenders like:

Chris Paul-LAC 2.4
Mike Conley-MEM 2.3
Monta Ellis-MIL 2.0
Kemba Walker-CHA 2.0
Dwyane Wade-MIA 1.9
James Harden-HOU 1.9
Paul George-IND 1.8
Russell Westbrook-OKC 1.8
LeBron James-MIA 1.7
Jeremy Lin-HOU 1.7
Andre Iguodala-DEN 1.7
Thaddeus Young-PHI 1.7
Metta World Peace-LAL 1.7
Jason Kidd-NYK 1.7
Jrue Holiday-PHI 1.6
Brandon Jennings-MIL 1.6
Mario Chalmers-MIA 1.6
Goran Dragic-PHO 1.6
Stephen Curry-GSW 1.6
Jeff Teague-ATL

outside of kidd, that's basically a list of the exact opposites of kobe, blake, meeks and nash. they simply don't have the speed or athleticism to pressure ball-handlers, get into passing lanes or close out on shooters. plus pau is no longer able to check PFs, especially not mobile ones like melo, bron or durant.

this is pretty damn accurate. Can't front.

------------------------------

17x NBA Champions

pau's clearly a center at this stage of his career. he can't guard PFs or stretch the floor. he old.

------------------------------

17x NBA Champions

guys like melo, bron and durant weren't playing PF a few years back. plus, when coupled with bynum and howard, pau can't post up smaller guys without help coming. he was best when paired with odom.

don't think he's brilliant or anything, but most coaches are as successful as the talent on the team. lakers clearly are flawed.

over.

not a chance. and anyone who blames the lakers' lack of success this year on coaching (brown or d'antoni) doesn't watch basketball.

I would certainly hope everyone knows that the problems with the Lakers go well beyond anything having to do with D'Antoni. However, if they manage to miss the play-offs, he's getting fired. They make the play-offs and get absolutely embarrassed, he's getting fired. Deserving's got nothing to do with it.

no one in their right mind thinks coaching is the problem with the lakers. unless phil jack is available, d'antoni's not going anywhere.

either.

if he does retain his job, he'll be on a short leash just like mike brown was.

-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.

if the team still struggles after they amnesty/trade MVPau and MWP and bring in pieces for his system, i'm sure he'll be out of a job.

-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.

need a few journeymen from the collection of jarett, mo willz, tony allen, dorell, martell, toney, budinger to flesh out the backcourt/SF and add shooting. then sign someone like millsap or josh smith who can play an athletic stretch four.

i'm not convinced any team with kobe/nash at the guard spots can ever be good defensively. it's more about being mediocre on defense and great on the other side of the ball until kobe retires.

be canned?

cool.

-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.

the same lakers' team, just older? changes are going to happen in LA this offseason (unless they're just going to resign dwight, then wait for kobe to come off the books the following year).

But thats too obvious.

-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.

thread lol. But outside of no one acknowledging the injury impact of this team, looking back at Brown and D'Antoni as coaches, I can't honestly say either can be the primary "blame" for this team struggling. The team is old. Pau and D12 don't fit together in today's league. Nash can't defend. Pau could never really defend. Kobe's obviously not the defender he was 6 years ago. But some of the dumb shit he does defensively isn't age related. The losing your man ball watching shit is asinine. He's always done it. But he was good enough to either recover defensively or compensate for it on the other end.

I still question both of the coaches ability to manage minutes adequately and still think both coaches are still question marks when it comes to Defense (MDA) and Offense (MB). But ultimately, injuries cloud an completely objective evaluation of this team. I don't think a healthy Laker squad wins the title by any stretch of the imagination. But I don't think it's out of the question to believe the team is at worst a 5th seed in the West. Probably 3rd or 4th.

-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.

than just MDA's coaching, Brown's coaching (which I now accept), or the Kobe/Dwight relationship. I think the amount of injuries this team has suffered distort a real evaluation of how good this team is. I don't think they're a championship caliber team healthy. But they're not struggling to make the playoffs either. I think they'll give MDA another year to implement his system (which he'll have to adjust if he wants to stay in LA) and see what happens. Hell, the offense they're running the best right now is basically Tri "light" with a heavy dose of Horns which EVERYONE runs in the league now. What MDA is pretty decent at though is drawing up out of bounds plays. Decent as in better than Phil who never seemed to give a fuck about them.

>What MDA is pretty decent at though is drawing up out of bounds plays. Decent as in better than Phil who never seemed to give a fuck about them.

That's funny cause he was horrible with that in ny. Woody came and they immediately started executing better in those situations.

-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.

the knicks were ranked 5th in defense for most of last season - they're 17th this season. the phoenix teams were never worse than mediocre on defense either, idiots just get caught up the pure number of points surrendered because of the pace.

yes, d'antoni would rather put offensive-oriented players on the floor. some coaches prefer defensive players out there. either way is fine. the fact that d'antoni gets vilified for choosing the former is purely macho jock garbage, as if being tough defensively is morally superior.

on the talent of the team. I don't think he's "clearly" a horrible defensive minded coach. But I'm not willing to call his D coaching "fine".

That said, my overall point is injuries have hurt the ability to give a solid assessment of what the team was capable of this year. Tis what it tis though.

the knicks were the second-best defensive team in the NBA during linsanity because they were playing jeffries, shump, fields and chandler along with him. and d'antoni's phoenix teams were as good (or better) defensively as this year's knicks squad, so all cenario's chirping is bizarre.

coaches get way too much attention, mostly because it's easier to say "THAT MAN OVAR THERE IS VERRY BAD CCOACH AND STUPED AT DEFANCE!!!" than it is to actually figure out what's occurring on the court. in basketball, the most important and impactful role a coach has is assigning minutes. d'antoni is someone who will sacrifice defense in order to get a better offensive player on the floor -- just like thibs or doc will do the opposite.

I don't disagree. But lack of nuance isn't limited to coach evaluation. Especially here lol.

And needed someone to come in to help in teach it.
