D'Antoni is finally doing what he should have from the jump. Just play whoever wants to hustle regardless of position.

And they need to cut some of this dead weight

I'm sorry, but Dantoni should be fired. Damn you Jim Buss.

He came cheap,I guess.

Just Kidding....

I think the coaching changes have all but put a conclusion to LAL's season. I mean, even if we fire Dantoni and get someone else, it will be another adjustment period. This team has the talent to be #1 but they will be lucky to get past the first round; hell at this point they will be lucky to make the playoffs.

Nash and Gasol will help ignite the offense, but that will be irrelevant as long as the team plays Dantoni defense.

Seriously, I don't watch a lot of Lakers' games, but from what I've seen ... there's no difference in the way they play now then when they played for Brown. Personally, I believe they should just play ball and forget about who they like don't like playing with. Ignore Kobe, he no longer carries any weight with the team.

Play ball ... street ball, whatever. What can D'Antonio do ... bench who (that would make a difference).

It's just basketball.

Who would've thought in August that this team wouldnt even be .500? I mean, wow. They are superior in every aspect to last year's squad...yet they're worse.

Sorry to disappoint all of you but, this is all on Dr. Jerry. Jim just did what his father told him to do.

MojoPin · 12-13-2012, 06:48 PM

Jim, Jerry...all the same. The Lakers organization has a serious problem on their hands, as Kupchak basically has no say over basketball operations anymore. This is like Jerry Jones running the Cowboys, now. It's not a good sign when the owner starts calling all the shots. Dr. Buss is a very intelligent and experienced man, but his senile desire for Showtime screwed this team over.

Hopefully they will prove everything I said wrong.

Ugly ugly ugly

Reading the tea leaves, it seemed like Jerry and Mitch wanted Phil, but Jim talked pops out of it and into Showtime 2.0.

Can't win allowing 116 points. Just isn't going to happen.

And no, I don't believe in moral victories or encouraging losses. So please don't go there with that #@#$%.

**Luke** · 12-13-2012, 07:54 PM

I'm starting to hate every player on this team not named Kobe or Metta. Beyond frustrating.

**Laker Freak** · 12-13-2012, 07:55 PM

Not a good sign when they get blown out playing D'Antoni ball and then make a comeback by slowing down the tempo.

Any chance this gets D'Antoni to change his philosophy?

So much for the claims that firing mike brown would cure everything.

Quit blaming the coach and front office. Your front office was supposedly geniuses for getting Dwight and Nash. Now you're blaming them.

Blame Dwight, the savior. Blame the rest of the players.

Kobe gets a pass from me because at least he gives a ****.
