Cooper was impressive as nuggets coach they hired immediately a burnt out ex Bucks coach.Michael Cooper returns to LA
BTW, if you cant see this is Kobe Bryant forcing this guy out, then your as blind as a bat.
A press row reporter that covers the Lakers was just on an LA local radio show(Hacksaw) and quoted a source stating that it was indeed a problem with Kobe.
Kobe wanted to play in the game against the Spurs because it was a nationally televised game but the coaching staff wanted to keep him out. Apparently, Kobe was going to force them to play him but of course, Kobe denies this.
I used to think that there was absolutely no possible way that I would ever feel bad for Shaq. After this past year discovering the true level of Kobe's class, I'm sorry to say that I actually feel bad for Shaq. How much advertising dollars has Kobe cost himself with his at ude?
I went to Rudy T's basketball camp in the early 80's at Blinn College in Brenham. He's one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met in basketball and life in general. Do you think Coach K is feeling better about his decision to stick around Durham?
DAMN I HATE THE LAKERS!!
First of all - it has nothing to do with Kobe.
It has to do more with Buss and Rudy T. Word is the two had an argument before Sunday's game over style of play - Buss wanting the team to be more uptempo. Rudy T preferring to focus on mismatches.
Did you make that?
Poor Rudy. He's always been way overrated as a coach, but nobody deserves this.
If Kobe was leading the league in scoring, his job would be safe.
how has he been overrated?
IMO Rudy T is a pretty damn good coach.
A coach taking a team like the Rockets in 96, and surrounding Drexler and Olajuwon, with journeymen and stiffs.
any coach that can make Pete Chilcutt, a solid contributer, and Carl Herrera a valuable forward, is one of a coach in my book.
Maybe he can get Tex Winter to come coach, that way he can run the triangle all day long.
Kobe's legacy is quickly becoming one of a chump.
As for Rudy, let's be honest - with Hakeem going Dream Shake for two post-seasons, he's got nothing.
How is this Kobe's fault???
Now, I'm not a big Kobe fan or anything, but does anyone have one iota of evidence suggesting Kobe in any way was behind this???
On the other hand, I haven't been entirely impressed with what Rudy T has done this season. Limiting the minutes of Luke Walton, not using Kareem Rush (which lead to his being traded), and under-utilizing Lamar Odom in the post.
He came, he saw, he left. Hopefully the Lakers will take their time, and choose wisely for their next coach, and not just pick a 'name' coach just for the sake of it.
adidas,
Wake up and smell the roses man. Everyone not blinded by the purple and gold can see it.
People within the organization Adidas are saying Rudy has had enough.
I feel bad for Rudy. If Rudy could get some talent, ALA a job like in New Orleans next year, he could show how good he is.
I'm still waiting for this 'proof' that Kobe ran Rudy T out of town. If someone can provide it, and it's reputable, then I can be convinced.
T Park, that's what I'm talking about. Rudy T had enough of what? Jerry Buss? Kobe? The Los Angeles sunshine? The smell in the locker room?
What?
rudy wakes up yesterday, looks at the week's upcoming schedule, sees the spurs coming to town on thursday and says...LATER!
uh, KOBE!!!'
That was on 690 and 1150 this afternoon according to someone on this board, and a friend of mine who lives in Costa Mesa CA.
So stay on the Rapist's bandwagon if you want.
One story is that Buss wanted more up-tempo, Rudy (surpise) wanted isolation/matchups (which is the only thing he knows).
[QUOTE]The smell in the locker room?[QUOTE]
Well, Slava Medvedenko is european, so the "stench" could have become unbearable.
If you were running the Lakers, who would YOU select to coach the team?
I have a feeling (and I have no proof, so it's just an opinion) that Rudy T was expecting more as far as winning games when he joined the Lakers this season. Which is sort of silly, as any coach that coaches this team needs to understand that they are rebuilding, and won't be championship contenders for at LEAST 3 years.
Jerry Jones reincarnated?One story is that Buss wanted more up-tempo
So it took Jerry Buss half a season to figure out what style offense Rudy runs?
This is a Kobe deal just as much as Collins getting run from Chicago was all Jordan.
I have a feeling Kobe was being a as usual and Rudy said " it, you think you know everything, coach the damn team yourself."
Kobe hasn't been playing for the past couple of weeks.
He has been with the team, come on, you dont think hes been telling him what to do.
God please, Kobe is a coach destroying punk.
Get with the program.
