    Hmmm...so you run Kobe Bryant into the ground and now you're making jokes eh? As I said earlier, Jim Buss is the best thing that ever happened to Laker haters.

    On Kobe coaching from the hospital

    @basketballtalk

    D'Antoni's response to Kobe's tweet that he would call at halftime with adjustments: "I'll be sure to turn my phone off."
    On Kobe playing too many minutes thus resulting in what may be a career ending injury

    "It was the decision that we had to make at the time, and it was the decision (that was made) with Kobe," D'Antoni told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday before his team hosted San Antonio. "He was very insistent on it. I was a little reluctant, but he said he could do it. He felt great.
    "We kept checking every day with the trainers and him — where are ya? How are ya? What are you doing? And to be honest with ya, I don't think one has anything to do with the other."

    I just found the pic on Fapnation on facebook...theres millions of girls like her sending amateur pix and these girls look unbelievable. I mean you see alot of them in the club scene in LA but usually they are in their tight dresses. Something about a woman in leggings....

    Bottom line is Dantoni didn't know when enough was enough...of course Kobe's gonna wanna stay in...it was his job to ensure that Kobe got at least...at least 5 min of rest...it's ridiculous. and even in his last game he kept getting hurt prior to the season ending achilles...and Dantoni never took him out to rest not once even when he was obviously grimacing...it's a complete failure of coaching in my view. Dantoni knows he ed him by bowing to Kobe's pressure to play non-stop because of his ego and Mid would have us believe it's the black coaches with no sense

    Go figure

    True story if as a a coach you cant find 4 minutes per half (2 mins. per quarter) of rest for your best player then you are a crappy coach period.
    I dont care if Morris sucks he can give you 2 mins a half ...

    This is why Kobe could never play for Pop. He would want to sit Kobe in game 5 of the regular season to rest, Kobe would say no, then Pop would have to show him he's in charge and waive him that day.

    Pop would treat Kobe same as Phil did....Pop is smaller than Phil and would have capitulated to Kobe and would have been in awe...just not to the degree as Dantoni...and if Kobe played for the Spurs you es would think your badasses...so shut the up yesterday

    Kobe would've been in awe of Duncan's 3 Finals MVPs, something he's never gonna get.

    ohh really...Shaq was the most dominant and physically intimidating force the NBA has ever seen and yet Kobe went toe to toe and relegated him to servant status..banished him from the Kingdom...what makes you think a mild and quiet Tim Duncan would have stood a chance against the Ghengis Khan style warlord Kobe...Duncan and I say this in no disrespectful terms would have been Kobe's ...Shaq just opted to move on...

    Nonsense. You want to blame (i.e, "sue") someone, Killa. Because that's the American way. But, happens. Be extremely grateful that no has happend to us in over 20 years.

    I'm grateful that D'Antoni broke it open and gave Kobe his head. I'm glad he plays a short bench. He tried all those guys. They all failed. It's not kindergarten. It's a job. You get your chance. If you can't do it, go sit down and we'll try the next guy. In this case the next guy was as ty as the first guy.

    disagree....it's a basic war strategy...as a commander you can let soldiers fight all night with no rest.but they'll be weary in the morning...and prone to making crucial mistakes that could cost lives...that's why in ancient Rome the Praetorian guard worked shifts no matter how deft their fighting skills.

    All I asked for was 5 min of rest time...I don't care how ty your team...is 1 minute rest each quarter too much to ask? really 1 ing min of rest?

    I think you misunderstood ... not saying ... I blame D'antoni for the achilles injury you are right Cully, crap happens.

    But to not hold that coach accountable for failing to develop at least 2 minutes as quarter of playing time from either Morris or Ebanks makes little sense even if you say dont shoot just pass we are talking about 2 minutes!!! if they cant do that they need to be in the D-league or Europe tbh ...

    The other thing Cully, is it's his M.O. he loves to run short rotation and I understood when the season started and we had ALL this talent "on paper" but as the bodies started dropping he had to find a way for 2 minutes a quarter if he used those only to rest Kobe he is still playing 40 minutes down the stretch ...but those 8 minutes would be impactful maybe he still gets hurt ...but it's still an indictment that he is so slow to adjust. Jamison gets no minutes and only injury allowed Clark to shine ...he also was not using hill enough here or in NY ... none of those guys are stars but can play a role ...one of the thing PJ was a master at ... I hated the randomness of his sub patterns but he found roles for every vet he just hated to play rooks.

    He's the coach, not the GM. He gave those guys a chance early on. They failed chronologically. Obviously the front office did not want to change them out. I wouldn't a played them either. We didn't have "2 minutes" anymore. We still don't. I looked at the box score and D'Antoni piddled a smidge last nite with those losers. So he's affected now and giving in. And he was this||close to making a statement.
