Stop blaming on the players, we know we are the bottom half talent wise, but it doesn't mean this team is clueless. No idea what is going on offensively, defensively or the rotation.


What exactly do u think this roster could accomplish with a different coach? How is it worth the hassle?

At least a coach with a plan and know what he is doing. Develop the young players. Play to their strength. Work on sets, etc. I think pick up street ball plays better than this Scott coached Lakers.

We have 4 young players we can develop, 2 of them are injured, one is spending time in the D-league and the other is Bobby Sacre. Everyone talks of a plan but what plan it is, no one knows.

If I get 4m a year, I will have a plan. Of course, if the tank command is from the top, then Scott is doing an excellent job.

~lol~ Could you elaborate?

He was calling out every spot where Wayne would get a shot from before Wayne got them. Called out the ISO areas Nick and Kobe were going to before they got there. Called out the pop out and joked that's the same play PJ brown and David West were popping out at a decade ago Hill is using. He pointed out the back picks and drift into the corner from the SF spot. He said watch them leave the corner 3 open on D to rotate here just like we used to. He even joked about Scott's 12 minute pretape running drill where the players run the court for 12 minutes and he takes baskets, saying Scott hasn't changed at all from the guy he knew all those years ago.

So yep DW was annoying to listen to as he was like an old karate master saying here comes the hook, the jab, the leg sweep, and laughing that his old teacher has nothing new in his arsenal. The game was a big old joke throughout to him.

Hope he's OK:

Somehow demonstrating all that ails the Lakers, Lin had to stop his post-game interview when he felt sharp pain in his left leg. He sat down slowly in a chair, frowning, before standing up again and talking for another few minutes. He headed into the trainer's room.


Maybe something has been bothering him recently? Maybe it's good for him to come off the bench and rest more for now.
