Maybe the Lakers should try trading for Jeremy Lin. That'll save Pringles job for a while.
To be fair, it's probably 40% on the coach, but the rest is all on the players. This team isn't going anywhere and they've become the league punching bag (much to my delight). Their only hope now is some sort of spectacular trade, but even that won't get them better than a 6 or 7 seed in the west.

Neat how Anderson Varejao has been a better player than Dwight this season

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but it would make a lot of sense for both teams.

They are finally becoming initiated brother.... Soon they will be about that fuck a Pringles life....
There were lots of rumors of the Thunder being interested in Beal before the draft--I think there was even a Harden-for-Beal trade rumor floating around at some point.
I'm happy with what we got for Harden, especially since Martin is playing so well and the Toronto pick is looking like a surefire top-10 at this point.

Lakers...
What. The. Fuck.
What. The. Fuck.
It's a lot less than 40% on the coach.

If the Lakers lose tonight they'll have 13 losses on the season.
Orlando has 12.
There aren't enough fucking lol to go around.
What now? How?
You've got Kobe and Dwight and Pau and you're under 500 and it's on the players? We saw D'Antoni with the Knicks, then we saw Woodsen with the Knicks.
We saw D'Antoni his last year with the Suns, then we saw Gentry get to the WCF.
D'Antoni and Brown are both bad coaches, it just is what it is. That small ball D'Antoni shit worked in the middle of the last decade when Bron, Melo, Durant, Wade weren't near their peak. When Kobe was on a craptastic Laker team, and when the rest of the teams weren't athletic enough to keep up with the Suns cuz they played traditional basketball. D'Antoni's system doesn't fly anymore. It didn't really work to win then, and it's in even worse shape now with these ultra athletic teams all over the place.

One other thing that got the Nets a big lead is the Knicks kept switching on everything... the Nets would often get Andray Blatche wide open jumpers or situations where Wallace could put the ball on the floor and karate-kick people. The Knicks have to stop doubling and remember who else is on the the court: Reggie Evans. He can't shoot, can't dribble much and is a bad FT shooter. Help off Evans and if he rolls to the hoop, hammer him and make him shoot FTs.
And for the love of God, at least let Felton try to D Johnson in the post. This was a guy who held his own against effing LeBron, and according to The Dy Rules he's indestructible.

VDN is 14-6 this year. Is he suddenly considered a good coach?
Yeah Lakers coaches have been a problem but the real problem is that their players haven't been playing.
nononono
it's the coach.
lol.
It's been great to see the rationalization theories.

I don't know guys, I'm starting to think that maybe The Lakers should have hired Phil Jackson.

So Anthony gets hit by Wallace, no call. Anthony then follows with a bad foul. Carmelo has to calm down.

They were playing harder and having more fun under Bernie ... I would be fine riding the season out with him. Halftime interviews would be better too.
VDN is horrible. But he lets the Clips play to their strength. CP3 PnR's. D'Antoni would do a lot better with the Clippers Roster then with the Lakers roster.
But that's not the players fault. LA has 3 of the most effective post players in the game who command double teams and HORRIBLE TEAM SPEED and what do we do? Run PnR's all day with horrible floor balance to counter act fast breaks.

Reggie Evans is one of those brutes that you hate playing basketball against because they have no skills what so ever.

The Lakers created a Big 4 and added a bunch of terrible players around them. Two of them are out, one of them is a defensive force who doesn't have the athleticism to play defense right now, one is 34. Not sure how great any coach could have them playing at.

MELOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Is it my imagination, or is the Lakers' offense worse under D'Antoni? I seem to remember the Princeton offense netting them regular 50% shooting games (sorry, too lazy to go back and look at box scores). The team has seemed to shoot poorly from the field lately. How does that work? PEACE.
