Re: fire mike brown?

Stupid? Dude it was a sarcastic joke?

I hope so. Because numbers are irrelevant to wins. This is just plain unacceptable.

I am calm. I was simply clarifying.

You asked if I was stupid!

One could say, anybody that would fire a coach 4 games into a season is stupid.

I don't like Mike Brown, didn't like him in Cleveland either. I probably never will..

But you don't let a coach spend an entire offseason, training camp, and pre-season with a team only to fire him 4 games later. Just saying

I apologize, I didn't necessarily mean you're stupid, I meant what you were saying was.

And honestly, with this offense and general poor performance I can't really see them clicking anytime soon.

The sooner the better IMO.

He said his FANTASY team. If you don't play fantasy sports the dots may not have connected, but even if it wasn't a sarcastic comment (obviously was) it's actually valid in the world of fantasy.

I know you two already hashed this out but I'm commenting anyway to say refrain from calling people stupid (or even asking if they are). It's against the TOS to make personal attacks on other members.

If a TEAM is shooting damnn near 50% and 100pts a game thhen the offense is fine. You can't say its not about one player and then say Steve Nash has to always have the ball. I didn't say I like Brown I said the offense wasn't the problem. theyve been giving up to many easy buckets off turnovers because of a lack of familiarity and a lack of effort getting back. Also their set defense has been bad because they're gambling to much and their rotations have been slow. So no I'm not stupid.

You're right, the Lakers defense and their offense as well is the problem, but regardless... even if the Lakers figure it out or when they do, they still won't win a championship with Mike Brown. He's just a terrible coach overall.

Re: fire mike brown?

Honestly, he shouldn't have listened to Eddie Jordan with that Princeton crap. He should've just ran the same palys from last year, while incorporating a little pick and roll action for Steve Nash.

I personally think a Pau/Nash pick and roll combo could be deadly.. Especially with Howard opposite of the play in case Pau doesn't have the look.. He's a good passer, he could easily come of the pick and if the little mid range look wasn't there make a good entry pass to Howard..

But, as I'm not a Lakers fan I hope Mike Brown doesn't change a thing and they keep sucking lol.. I had too many friends talk crap right after the trades went down "Lakers got the next 5 rings at least" .. And so far I'm loving rubbing it in their faces that they don't look good at all lol..

Re: fire mike brown?

Mike Brown was always known as the defensive coach.. and well the Lakers ain't playing much defense right now.

With that said, it speaks volumes as to how much was on LeBron's shoulders in Cleveland. Below average team, incompetent head coach, and he still took them to heights that they've never seen.

Re: fire mike brown?

It's too early to fire anyone. Let him lost 8-12 games first. If they don't improve in a month. Then it's time for change. You got new players trying to learn a new system. And a coach trying to figure out his rotation (which always happens when you have so many off-season changes to the roster)

Re: fire mike brown?

Thought this was funny:

Mike Brown isn't even a real coach (more like an assistant). He only went to the Finals because LBJ. And I doubt they ran the Princeton offense.

Re: fire mike brown?

I remember Miami didn't start very well either the first season after the "decision". Your five games in, calm down...
