Lakers have "clear-the-air" meeting this morning

[Dr Aki]

Sounds like D'Antoni doesn't realize his fast paced, run and gun offense is effecting the defense as well. In other words D'Antoni is a stubborn idiot.

been watching the lakers?

nash dribbles the ball across the halfway line at the 17-18 second mark every possession!

Have you been watching the Lakers?

While its not exactly SSOL, its definitely not a slow half court inside out offense either which is what this team desperately needs.

the reason why the lakers are 3rd in pace isn't because we're the ones running, its because we're the ones getting run over

So Pau just sat there with a bag of popcorn and watched everyone tear into each other?

I think it was paella but close enough.

Its really quite frustrating to read some of the posts on here.

Keep thinking that Phil Jackson would have saved this team, just know that you are deluded. D'Antoni HAS changed his system offensively to suit this team and he HAS focused on defense. Obviously none of you have ever watched his old Phoenix team, we are NOTHING like them. Pau does get his touches and he is utilized just fine, he just sucks now. Sure blame D'Antoni for that too I guess. We feed the post very often, WE JUST SUCK! I honestly don't care what the media says, they are always quick to jump on a coach when a team is down. I thought some people here would be more intelligent than that but obviously I was wrong.

We sucked with Mike Brown, and We suck with Mike D'Antoni. How many coaches do we have to go through to make it clear to some of you that our players do not gel and are not the same players they used to be? Stop taking the easy option and blaming D'Antoni

Mike..D'Antoni? Is that you???

The whole problem I see with the leak info of what was said in the clear the air meeting, there was no solutions suggested. It was all pointing fingers asking if this person or that person has a problem with them. No one took accountability on being a solution. MDA halfass "I may slow down the offense a bit" is just saying my scheme is not the problem its you. NO solution was revealed.

One example of the rocky relationship between the two Western Conference All-Star starters, according to a league source, was a game this season when Howard harped to a teammate about the disparity between his and Bryant's shots while sitting on the bench. The teammate called Bryant over so Howard could tell it to Bryant's face, but the center refused to speak up.

Metta world peace doing his thing!

I got this feeling it could of been Jordan Hill.
He seems like he is fully invested in the team and also a player who got close enough to Dwight for him to get that shared info about Kobe.
