OT- Lakers fire Mike Brown

So you hire a coach that every possession of every game wants to get you into the exact type of game that you don't want to play?



I'm the rest of the Western Conference, and I approve this hire.

what's funny, during their two game HC hiatus, they were 2-0....

My logic for D'Antoni is that no one on that Laker team has any desire outside of Artest to play defense.... it fits D'Antoni, D12 could freaking go bezerk mode in stats as well as Gasol and Nash will relive his glory days....

Brown was a defensive guy that didn't last, why would any other defensive coach last longer?

It's not about D vs O. It's about half court vs full court. Some teams are built to run, and some teams aren't. If LA wants to win they should be trying to avoid track meets, not hiring a coach that will ensure them game after game.

Half Court is hard with both Pau and D12.... Pau would need to be traded to work that out IMO.

I don't think it would be possible for me to disagree with this more than I do. I'll just leave it at that.

I'm loving how pissed off Lakers fans are lately.
