2012 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

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.

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.

    • Bryce has had this story of being a great leader and a person who his teammates love.  Coaches and media all said some form of after talking with Bryce or spending time with him and it was obvious the type of person and leader he was.  I don't see it from his demeanor and public persona but he might be the type of guy who's much different in person.  With so many people saying some version of this I hope the fans get a glimpse of it some time.
    • Auburn literally could've had 20+ fouls in that half. Hate playing teams like this. They picked up 5-6 quick ones then like always happens the refs start to get whistle shy not wanting to call a foul every possession and they start getting away with murder. The way they call the games encourages this type of play. If they keep fouling just keep calling it. 
    • I think last year actually set him back.  Our interior online was one of the worst I've seen.  Combine that with Frank archaic system and about 10 other things and then Canales comes in and implements his system regardless who the players were. A lot of coaches think their system can work with any player and don't do any or as much as they should with tailoring it to fit the player.  Canales admitted that pretty much in our first game but when he scaled it back and Bryce still looked horrible so he was benched.  That move right there is one of the big things that has sold me on Canales.  I judge him based on what he's done since he was renamed the starter.  I probably need to give him a little more rope because it probably seemed in his first game like it was just like last year.  Another new coach with his system and Bryce just went along.  Both the coach and the player are adapting to each other and I think that we are back, baby!!!!  It's just like Drew Brees and Sean Payton except without the mole and the butthole lips.
