lakers are being severly overrated here, lakers are good talent, but calling caron butler dependable?? he's still young, lots of potential, but still young
i mean rudy has a lot to blame, becuase yea kobe's their star player, but rudy's still the coach
what HAS he done?? the lakers haven't won 3 straight yet, and in my eyes, rudy should be experimenting more trying out more new things
the lakers aren't good enough to just sit back and relax, and think that with time everything will come together, because before you know it, kobe's gonna be a 16 year pro lamar is going to be old and you still haven't won any championships because Rudy sat on his butt and let kobe run iso plays all day and let contributers sit on the bench
rudy doesn't even vary his lineups, he has stuck to the same one since the beginning of the season, and they aren't exactly doing too well, they're OK, but in my eyes rudy needs to experiment more
its not just with their offensive playsets either, its their lineups, rudy should be giving more players time, to see who does well, etc.
i mean vujacic played GREAT in the preseason, why isn't he freaking playing more now?? what's the reason for that?? why isn't rudy trying different lineups, like once again i dont understand why rudy doesn't try having brian grant mihm and odom all on the court at the same time
and as for rudy having to let kobe isolate, i dont think you watch the lakers, its not ONLY kobe that isolates, its not as if every single possesion its an isolation play FOR kobe, the issue isn't that rudy runs iso plays for kobe, its just that...the iso play is seemingly the 1 out of a total of FOUR plays in rudy's playbook
and why can't lakers win without inside presence?? what kind of inside presence do they need?? they have LO who can rebound, BG who can rebound/defend, chris mihm can block shots, kobe can rebound/block people too, lakers don't have any less inside presence than supersonics, and perhaps even phoenix (amare although he's a PF/C, he's not the same as Duncan/Shaq type of player)
sonics aren't particularly any better than the lakers are on paper, how come they're winning and the lakers aren't?? aside from lacking a good PG, which both seattle and phoenix have, the lakers just seem like they are being held back by Rudy, maybe he's a good coach, but not for these lakers
