Can you imagine Mike Brown coaching LA? Ouch!

As we should. He has a man crush on Luke Walton. He takes out our defensive anchor, a guy that helped us climb back after being down 25 points, in favor of a guy that has done nothing useful for the majority of the season. This has been happening often.

Luke Walton is the new Kwame Brown. He is Phil's new project.

Kobe is an idiot, kept trying to post up the bigger, stronger Azubuike when it was obvious he had the quickness advantage.

You guys are calling Phil Jackson an idiot????

If PJ is a moron then what are you? A moron with 6 rings! A moron who's team is leading the league. LOL!

edit: oops 9

JDawg · Post #249 » by **JDawg** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:16 am

I cant believe....BELIEVE he replaced Turiaf for Walton....

CANNOT believe it

And Vladl...Wow

going for the steal at the end
and then ending up on BAron Davis....WHy dude

What did you think was gonna happen??? Taht baron was gonna turn it over??? LOL....

WOW....gotta tell you, the lakers players are NOT the most cerebral.

Still have NO idea what Vlad was doing

Kobe was doing just fine posting him up. It brought a secondary defender into the paint late, over and over, and he was still able to put shots over Azubuike or pass inside to Lamar. The warriors were actually doing worse defending Kobe's postup as opposed to bringing the second defender in earlier on Kobe's drives.

But, this is one of those examples of how a bad first half can make it so difficult to win a game in the second. Props to the warriors for the wild finish. SJax was lights out.

He's a terrible defensive coach and anyone who's watched his teams knows it.

I'll throw a name at you.

John Bach....former Bulls Defensive ace and DEAD NOW.

PJ hasnt found his replacement.

Who's the WORST pick and roll defendign team in the NBA???

ANYONE who plays the lakers, knows its them.

PJ STILL hasnt' figured out how to defend it properly.

LOL....people poinitng at 9 rings.

ALL WON ON OFFENSE GUYS....GREAT OFFENSE>

He's the greatest offensive mastermind.

But defense????

Not even close. He'll win the title because his O will be great and he'll have the two bigs, NOT BECAUSE he knows how to coach D like a Mike Brown.

Cavs win with D and LEbron.

Lakers win with O and Kobe.

Which is likely to be more successful long term in winning titles, talent being equal.

DEFENSE AND REBOUNDS WINS TITLES>

If you cant STOP a team from scoring over and over and over and over and over in crunchtime, you ahve NO chance.

He is not an idiot. He just likes lost causes. Tex Winter has even said the same thing after we shipped Kwame off to Memphis.

Look how long he stuck with Kwame when we had a guy in Ronny Turiaf who has clearly been better.

JDawg · Post #255 » by **JDawg** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:23 am

Bryant played 46 minutes tonight

46 freakign minutes

46:23...i mean what more can the man do

can anyone play ANY sort of civilized D man....jeezus Christ.

I mean....its like the lakers kept scoring and scoring and scoring
and

no stop
next
no stop
next
no stop
next
no stop
next
no stop

LOL...and ALL THROUGH IT>...PJ sits and watches. NO adjustments.

NO thought to take out the unathletic and BAD shooting Luke Walton.

I mean Luke is a

Poor defender
unathletic
and
A poor shooter
and

YET Turiaf helped erase a 25 pt. deficit

and he SITS HIM FOR LUKE WALTON....

Where's the regard for DEFNESE PJ....WHERE?????

Jackson is worst coach in crunch time after Avery

prekazi · Post #257 » by **prekazi** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:24 am

Calm down, I don't understand this it's just one game. Lakers and Kobe played a great second half it's hard to win when you're down 23 at the half. Games like this can happen. Lakers are playing the best basketball in the league right now and I guess you have to credit your 9 ring winner legend a little bit.

I'm sure Sam Mitchell begs to differ.

JDawg · Post #259 » by **JDawg** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:28 am

Think about this guys....

LUke Walton isn't in there for rebounding
Luke Walton is a poor defender
Luke Walton is a poor shooter

PLUS,

We know that Kobe is gonna shoot it anwyway OR kick out to Fisher or Sasha.

So WHY ON EARTH would he not go with Turiaf who can alter shots in the paint and perhaps rebound misses on O....

There's LITERALLY no rhyme or reason for it, other than the fact this jerk plays favorites.

Ive alwasy hated Phil. Even if htey win, I'll hate him.

I'll NEVER credit him for anything but bei9ng a great offensive coach.

and he's only that because of

MJ
Pip
Kobe
Shaq.

NOTHIGN else.
