True Lakers Fan
Los Angeles Lakers Fan
It has been suggested that Lakers fans in general blamed everything in wrong on Mike D'antoni and that they owe him an apology because the Lakers flat out sucked, they sucked last year and had injuries to make it worse.
I say that's BS because I don't think Lakers fans blamed Mike D'antoni for everything. I personally blamed Jim Buss for hiring that dumb ass instead of Phil Jackson, but that was only part of the problem
The players including Dwight Howard sucked and there was nothing D'antoni could do about that
The players were injury prone and there was nothing D'antoni could about that.
The type of players signed by the Lakers were not a good fit for D'antoni or his system and there was nothing D'antoni could do about that either for one reason. He wasn't a good coach to begin with and you can't give a head coach the talent to run a good team.
I do, however blame D'antoni for Kobe's injury which should serve as a warning to Byron Scott. Kobe's body is going to suffer a similar fate if Scott does not slow Kobe's down and lower his minutes more.
I say no one owes D'antoni anything except good bye and have a nice day.
