The Blue Board

Mike Dantoni. He has no idea how to adjust his scheme to fit aging players, but mostly he can't handle all the egos. The guys don't like playing together and that was what made Phil Jackson so good, he got his guys to set aside their BS and play ball to win.

Nash (24), Howard (6), Blake (37), and Gasol (14 + 6-8 weeks on top of those).

That's a lot of gms missed. The Blake injury was huge, because it caused Darius Morris and Duhon to start 26 gms.

Howard is a biatch. Plain and simple.

He doesn't play hard. Even before the shoulder injury. Last night was an embarrassment though. If you can't play through the pain, then get off the floor.

Tidepride very easy answer a basketball team has to fit perfectly like anything in life, you need players that play well together and don't get in each other's way. The 2004 NBA finals aka the five game sweep is the perfect example, LA had Kobe, Shaq, Malone, the glove 2 top 10 players off all-time vs. billups, rip, sheed, big ben and prince. The pistons were a perfect team with perfect chemistry and every 1 knew their role. Each player complimented the other perfectly leading to them destroying the team with more talent..

Nash isn't a top player in the league anymore. Hasn't been for some time.

KB is having one of his best seasons statistically, but not necessarily a good thing since some of his best numbers have come during when the Lakers were at their worst.

DH, lolgtfogfygb2FL.

Mike Antoni (No D) makes me want to slit my wrists. Still think he should coach college. Probably would still make as much as he currently does with the Lakers with a lot fewer games and much more control.

Coach D is a system coach who needs the right players for him to be successfull doesn't have that with LA or the Knicks, if he was the coach of Denver or Miami he would thrive b/c they have the right personel for his offense..

He was getting beat up in the press for not playing through it and being tough, then he gets beat up for playing and clearly not being 100%. But other than that, you're right. He's a mental midget that can't strive in LA, the biggest market in the NBA. Like someone else pointed out, a lot of injuries. And like someone else said, Nash is 39 and it's starting to really show. This team will get blown up after this season (except for Kobe of course.)

He was getting beat up because doctors cleared him to play, but he was too much of a pansy to get on the court.

Then he went out, and clearly didn't give even close to full effort. He's a giant baby. It was a mistake to aquire him. I'd trade him for Lopez and picks without thinking twice.

Soft.

Lulz didn't Dwight take the Orlando MAgic to the NBA finals, how is that a cancer? He doesn't want to be there he was basically forced to play with Kobe; track record with Kobe and Big, SHaq hated him, Andrew bynum trashed him as soon as he left..

Naw dude hurt his shoulder and obv hasn't recovered from back surgery, he still leads the league in rebounding or does that not count?

It's b/c he's hurt doesn't mean he's not trying any 1 who has ever watched D12 play bball knows he's not even close to 100%, he might never be able to return to his elite status b4 the back surgery no 1 knows. To say hes a pansey and than say you want Brick Lopez is absurd..
