2012 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[Kevin Greene]

Things are finally getting interesting in LA.

Brown out, Lakers dominate 101-77.

Let's see who comes in to take over the reins.

[Bwood]

Let's hope they don't break our hearts like the Dodgers eh man?

What was worse than watching us choke and then seeing the Giants win another one...

[Hawk]

that would be a good job to get...you know the roster is chock full of talent and with the start they have had, whoever takes the whistle is going to look like a genius when they hoist the trophy at the end of the playoffs.

If phil comes back it's over.

[King Taharqa]

I'm praying Phil comes back. I dont want any excuses when you guys come up short this year.

We will always have the Chris Paul trade veto as an excuse.

[CarolinaPride5]

Phil & his staff coming back? If that happens... Wow!

We will just use the same excuse you Heat fans used in year one.

[Kevin Greene]

Another easy win for the Lakers tonight.

If there was any doubt how this was going to work Dwight Howard puts up a monster 23 Point, 18 Rebound, 3 Blocked shot, 3 Assist, 2 Steal performance tonight.

[CarolinaPride5]

I HATE JIM BUSS.

Mike D'Antoni just signed a 4 year deal with LA. Wow. Kobe & Dwight were backing Phil.

Reason we didn't hire Phil Jackson the GOAT? His demands were to high... SMH. It's Phil Jackson!

[King Taharqa]

Mike Antoni. Lol.

[thatlookseasy]

Nice, now we get to see if its actually possible to win a title with Dantoni's system

I always thought he got a bad rap for not winning one with the Suns- his system inflates player's stats and made it hard for the

Suns and their cheap-ass owner to keep their best players. IMO you need to give Dantoni a good PG surrounded by quality defenders and let him do his thing with the offense.

[King Taharqa]

To be fair thatlookseasy, he didnt fare much better in NY.

This helps guys like Nash and Kobe out tremendously. The Lakers will put up points now, question is, when they get in dogfights in the playoffs, will they be able to stop anybody? Offense wins regular season games, defense wins championships.

Also it should be noted, PHIL TURNED THIS JOB DOWN. The media is spinning it that his demands were too high, but I dont buy that. Dude has 11 rings, loads of cash, and is ailing, he didnt need this and has nothing to prove. I think the Lakers only inquired about him because of the fans, I dont think LA's front office particularly likes or wants to deal with Phil anymore.
