chill bro, the team gon find they identity n it'll all come together. expect .35 win rate for 1/3 of the season n it'll get betta.

we dun have a good coach so this gonna be a long process. I dunno what up about Nash tho, I expected him ta decline
but he not focused. It maybe because it a new system or he old, we see

The two other are the team not knowing they identity well n bench need a leader not named mwp or Pau. I was hopin Ebanks to fill this role but he not too good today, we see next dozen games what's up

[jeebus]

It's always a great sign when 3 players combine for 80 points and the rest of the old ass scrubs struggle to provide the rest.

[Clipper Nation]

this princeton offense bullshit is stupid, they need to let nash play his game

Tbh, the fact that Nash can't play his game has more to do with the fact that him and Kobe both need to dominate the ball than it does with any specific kind of offense, tbh...

[AaronY]

:lol 12 game losing streak

[jeebus]

Tbh, the fact that Nash can't play his game has more to do with the fact that him and Kobe both need to dominate the ball than it does with any specific kind of offense, tbh...

pretty much this. I don't know why more people didn't notice this during the offseason. it's also the reason why the Chris Paul trade would've been an epic disaster if that happened tbh. Howard and Kobe can score 30 every night but they'll still get Eagle, Colorado'd every time.

[midnightpulp]

Tbh, the fact that Nash can't play his game has more to do with the fact that him and Kobe both need to dominate the ball than it does with any specific kind of offense, tbh...

This.

And even if Nash was allowed to dominate the ball, he'd still be mediocre in this offense since everything is in the half-court. Nash needs to run, and the Lakers don't have the necessary speed to effectively fast-break.

But that doesn't matter. He's Steve Nash, two time MVP, and since Laker fans believe star power is relative to on count production, the sky's the limit for the Lakers once Nash "adjusts" to his new team.

Lol.

[ElNono]

Moot point anyways... at 38 years old, that little ding he got on his knee probably won't heal until the ASG anyways... Mike Brown might not be around that long, tbh

Brown was an understudy with Pop when it was 4 down and pnr with our 2 guards which netted a couple of championships. It baffles me why he didn't go with that template. Is Kobe incapable of running pnr or something?

I was looking at the stats and wondered how the Lakers lost... until I got to the turnovers category. :lol Kobe w/ 7 tos

I've seen enough...we're working to hard for everything out there...I never thought I'd see the day that mighty Kool would throw in the towel ..but I see no light with Mike Brown...seeing his face as coach sickens me...and I'm sure every player in that locker room feels the same way...even if you put coaching X's and O's aside the guy doesn't inspire confidence in anyone...Jim Buss fucked this hire up real bad....Mike Brown bull-shitted his way through the interview...he basically lied on his resume, talked up defense to an excessive degree, bragged about coaching Lebron and Jim Buss like a fool eager to get a new coach so different from Phil made the decision that will haunt us until he's fired. Things are about to get worse...there will be no Princeton offense because Brown will start making coaching decisions so as not to get fired.... Artest needs to come off the bench and we need Ebanks running the floor with Nash...we need to go ahead and develop the kid, he's a young Trevor Ariza... young, long, athletic, can shoot and is a very good defender...

I kept telling everyone we needed Barbosa's instant offense and speed off the bench....and now I'm asking for Kenyon Martin's defense...and why is Brown fixated on Princton's offense...they never won an NCAA title playing with it...he just needs to let them go out and play ball..Mike Brown is trying to think this through but his brain doesn't have the capacity to keep up...Now I'm torn between wanting to see us lose in the short term to force Brown out and us winning...My projections for us isn't very good at the moment...

I'm leaving the board until something changes I refuse to listen to the catcalls and disparaging remarks about my team....I'm now in video game pause mode....:lol

Yup, but Miami's core guys were averaging about 27 years old in age while the Lakers are averaging about 34 or 35 :lol If the Lakers gotta wait a season or two to gel, they might lose some players to the glue factory

[scanry]

Miami were firing on all cylinders their first year. Lakers on the other hand look lost. I give them maybe 7-10 games before Jerry, sorry Jim pulls the plug. We experienced this with Pop in 98-99 season, and luckily we stuck with the grumpy b@stard.

They fit together better than Miami's core did. LeBron and Wade have almost the same game and they struggled to play off each other for a while. They didn't actually get it together until the playoffs.

Miami struggled their first year together all the way up to the playoffs. Even had a 5 and 4 game losing streak. Not even close to firing on all cylinders, tbh.

[Venti Quattro]

Miami 2010 and LA 2012 are not that much of parallel cases. LA has WAY MORE problems to solve aside from trying to get settled in their roles.

Spo might be dumb at times but at least he got the memo that he has a strong team and he should give them a free hand.

Great point, plus unless Dwight takes a leap or Kobe finds a hot tub time machine we have no one playing lon that level Heat really needed LeBron to take over. Sure he had help especially last year but I doubt Lakers win it all with this coach/roster combo. It's early but I still expect at least WCF but ceiling is probably a Finals loss.

[scanry]

Miami struggled their first year together all the way up to the playoffs. Even had a 5 and 4 game losing streak. Not even close to firing on all cylinders, tbh.

Ace, Miami had a 14 game win streak, a 9 game and a 8 game win streak before the All Star break. I don't see Lakers even coming close to that. Moreover they had the best player in the league in a 26 yr old Lebron.

Dwight is nowhere near Lebron and every shot Kobe is working to even put up a shot. Now during Phil's tenure, it was never like that. Tbh the only reason the Heat lost to Dallas that year was for some reason, Lebron didn't have the b@lls to take the reigns from Dwayne. I'm glad King James realized his sidekick's abilities, but a year too late.

Looking at Mike Brown at the moment, Lebron may really be the GOAT. Jordan had Phil and Lebron dragged that clown to the NBA finals, lost to Detriot (twice) and Boston (once) in 7. The only knock on Lebron were the 2 series losses to Orl in 6. But when you look at it, even Del Negro will run circles around Mike Brown.

Who would've though that the Clippers would have a better coach than the Lakers? Now when was the last time that happened?

Man, Larry Brown is freaking overrated. Burned way too many bridges. Atleast Pop will religiously and openly kiss Duncan's behind for the rest of his life. Larry Brown on the other hand was talking to Cleveland opening position during the 2005 NBA finals. Now that was his low point. He maybe a good a teacher, but he's not a very good coach for the long run.

You can't compare Miami with this team, IMO, even the 1st season. Lebron was still learning and Wade had plenty left in the tank.

They did their part, but the starters also combined for 20 of the 25 TOs. You can't have 25 botched possessions and expect to win.

Mike Brown is horrible. However, the team could self-correct itself.

Other than having a Potato Head, how is Mike Brown much different than the likes of Vinny D, Lawrence Frank or T Corbin? These guys are all horrid. Can Brown actually be worse? If so that makes him arguably the worst coach in the league and possibly a candidate for top 10 worst of all-time.

You really think they'll have 3 winning streaks before the All Start break? I see them winning maybe 52-55 games when it's all said and done, but i don't see them rolling over the West. West is real tight this year in LAL, OKC, SA, DAL, DEN, UTH, HOU, LAC, POR, NOH and MEM. That's 11 teams right there.

Not in panic mode but my concerns have been validated. Beating Miami was a long shot. But no way should we be 0-2 at home. We will get better when healthy but deserve the shit being slung at us. Barbosa, Barnes, Delfino, Shannon Brown, and Green are all useful bench guys and we either passed on or had and let go. Love Mitch but our bench ans our coach is murdering us right now.
