he can only coach the globetrotters. oh wait, that's our team now.


Its been statistically proven that underdogs win games by increasing the number of possessions, which is exactly what we are doing. I don't see the benefit of reducing possessions when we are already garbage in the half court.


ok, keep running the MDA system with gasol and another big, keep turning the ball over and give up fast break points, keep focusing on offense and play no defense.

the stat is legit, but it also mean that the team plays avg defense. when you don't play defense, increasing the no. of possessions will kill you


Slowing down the offense doesn't mean turnovers won't burn you, you'd go from a average offense and below average defense to terrible offense and below average defense.

You like running Swaggy P & Pau/Kaman/Hill or God forbit Sacre post isos? That's what we've been doing in the half court.

keep MDA until the last month of the season. He's developing some of the players, he's the tank commander, and with a month to go it's cool to say "well we basically had to regardless of injuries, Melo wouldn't sniff a second run with him(i don't want melo just a good excuse and valid for other stars too), and we wanted to see if Rambis/Scott were a good fit"

Realistically do coaches ever get fired in the last month of the season when things are basically set in stone? I think it would give the Lakers a bad look and it might be better to wait until the season is officially over.

If MDA resigned tomorrow do we even have a chance of someone stepping in to this depressing situation? I mean even Vinny Del Negro is not that desperate.

I'd like to give Rambis a try and I think he would take it.
