Yeah, I highly doubt the Lakers are willing to pay for three coaches.

Honestly? Mike D'Antoni, nice guy, can't coach without a superstart PG running his offense.

Yep. That's basically D'Antoni's lifeline.

That's what I'm saying. Mike could very well be a crappy coach. Considering he got Jim Buss's approval, that's a very real possibility. But you just can't be whacking your head coach every two weeks. At the very least we need to wait until we get a healthy team, see what we have and delay any major decisions. Until, say, February.

lets face it, obviously dantoni reputation is based on his career with nash in phx. Though i agree that this is a dumb thread but I cannot give Dantoni any slack. A coach needs to be brilliant in all phases. Against difficulties, he is the one you look to provide answers. He only poses questions for us. Dude has kobe and dwight. Two studs that demand double team everytime they touch the ball. If you can't run a run n gun offense the whole game, you find something else and mold your offense that can suit the team. Any servicable and knowledgable coach can make things work. Its only been a few games but I have seen no improvement in all phases. Spoelstra makes dantoni look like a fool by the way he can coach defense, superstars, and most importantly is flexible enough to make it all fit together. I know its a different comparison but this team looks like a mess.

I don't think the org would face up to firing him even if it were the correct thing to do after snubbing Phil and after hosing Brown early. This would completely unprecedented.

Yeah, you're basically a complete laughing stock at that point. It just isn't going to happen.

Mike sucks. Doesn't preach defense and has a garbage system that won't win you anything. Why would we hire him when we don't even have the personnel to run his system? run n gun with a bunch of 30 year olds loool

There really isn't any reason why old NBA players can't run and gun. Ridiculous athleticism is not required, conditioning and comfortability is.

Re: Fire coach Pringles thread (Not a Lakers fan's opinion)
As a Knicks fan I feel your pain. I was so sick of Pringles on the sideline & just saying
"Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go" That's not coaching that's cheerleading. What a hack!

Seriously. When news broke that Phil Jackson was coming back, I was worried about the Lakers spoiling our party. It's amazing the dumb things that ego will make a man do.

Re: Fire coach Pringles thread (Not a Lakers fan's opinion)
Hey guys, I'm a college basketball coach here in Chile, obviously I'm not at an NBA coach level, but I can surely say this:
1.- This team doesn't play TEAM basketball on offense. They just stand around waiting for Kobe or Dwight to create something. For what I've seen they have like 4 or 5 different plays, and they just don't execute them (not sound screening, little timing...), nor use those plays in a regular basis. Sure Kobe is dominant, sure Dwight's dominant, but a TEAM game has got to be played as a TEAM and not just iso plays for your best players, sure it helps, but NOT on 80% of the team's midcourt possesions. This team is so predictable on offense it's amazing. Scouting reports on the Lakers have got to be the easiest thing to do.
2.- This team doesn't play defense. It's obvious some of the players are bad defensive players, but even so, with a good defensive TEAM scheme some of this bad defensive players could hold their own in a regular basis. Sure there would be times when they get beat off the dribble, but with a solid scheme, you got the best defensive center in the league, so... Also, you see that;
- on off the ball screens, they're just inconsistent in WHAT to do, that's just poor coaching. How's possible that professional players, do not know if they gonna swith or if they gonna follow, or something. They just change the way they play this screens EVERY game I've seen so far.
- on Pick and Roll defense, rotations are just PLAIN AWFUL. They don't KNOW what to do on P&R situations. Again, that's without a doubt BAD coaching. P&R's got to be the most used play in basketball around the whole world, even high school players are constantly defending and attacking this play. It's just unacceptable, that this coach cannot teach proper rotations. Yesterday, for example, Dwight guarding Varejao, who screens for Irving. Howard doubles on the P&R, and Hill (who's a high energy, good defense type of guy), just stood there guarding his man, don't KNOWING that he had to rotate over Varejao to help Dwight. Obviously in that exact moment, Jordan made the mistake, but the Lakers get beat in P&R situations almost every game in a regular basis, so it's not only Jordan's fault and that makes me think of plain BAD coaching.
Finally; my question to D'Antoni is: if you don't teach defense, neither teach offense, than what type of a coach are you??
My answer would be; a JOKE of a coach...
