North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Stern is to blame for this too. If they would've have killed that Chris Paul trade, the lakers would've been on a different tragectory.


Who knew this would be an omen of how the lakers season would end...

The irony

Were yall saying this 2 days ago when "Kobe DA GAWD" scored 47 pts?

It's selective criticism in here.

This thread still would've been made if MDA treated Kobe like he was 17-year vet and treated his health and age (managing his minutes accordingly) as the first priority and the current Lakers one-year championship window season, a distant second. But the thread would be all about MDA fukking up the season and not getting the Lakers to the playoffs and wasting another year of kobe's career.

It was a potential lose/lose situation, except if he didn't play kobe these sort of minutes, they would've had 0% shot at making the playoffs, and on the other hand, playing kobe these minutes would give them a 50+% chance of making the playoffs (but it ran the risk of him getting injured).

We bout to :eat: with swag'toni the offensive genius

You guys are idiots. This is a good choice. Of course Phil would have been the best choice but D'antoni can coach. Plus Kobe respects him A LOT. Nash loves him. Dwight will love him and Pau too. I was scared they were about to hire Dunleavy :whew:


Honestly, D'Antoni is the much better choice between the two. Phil is old and washed up and doesn't seem too interested in working hard. People are just letting nostalgia get the best of them.

If Dwight gets back healthy the defense can only be so bad with him anchoring

dantoni squads were shyt defensively not just because of his coaching, but because his rosters were flawed.

When you have a squad with offensive weapons like Kobe "GQ" Bryant, Dwight "Chocolate Shoulders" Howard, Steve Nash, and Pau Gasol you need a offensive mind who can utilize all of em...........not too many coaches can do that

:salute: d'antoni

:wow:

I LOVE IT

I actually like this for the Lakers. All jokes aside, looking at makeup of the current Laker roster the offense D'Antoni will be bringing in seems like the best bet among caoches available. The triangle would have been hard to implement with the season already started and it's the type of offense you want to learn and the fly and lose games due to trial and error.

Run and Gun suits them perfectly with Steve Nash and as far as defense goes none of the Lakers were world beaters in that regard and no coach was going to turn them into defensive stoppers anyway so trying to overwhelm teams with offense is a pretty good strategy with potential HOFers in your starting lineup.

I like the move

I kind of like the hire now. I really wanted PJax to come back but looking at it objectively, it was going to take too much to get that arrangement to work.

Like I said, this move will work because the Lakers can essentially coach themselves with Nash and Kobe in the lineup. D'Antoni will be there to provide guidance, adjustments and a system to run but it would be best if he didn't try to exert his influence on the top guys.

Unlike the Brown hire, I'm kinda looking forward to this coach and seeing a faster paced Lakers team. Let's hope it turns into a ring.

tell me when to stop deddeh
