You wouldn't think that by some of the posts in the thread..... |

Well in the final 6 minutes, he went 1-3 and had 2 turnovers. But him playing horrible in crunch time is something I'm sure we are all used to |
There they go again hating on Pau. Pau had a good, solid game for us and made clutch free throws at the end. MDA played him more minutes than anyone else on the team and the whole 4th quarter.
Damn, even when we win, there is still hate

I have missed so many games due to work and school, but it is good to hear that Meeks, went off.

i agree with your opinion
Edit: What i dont like is that KD and Harden are best friends forever. So Houston is a real possibility for Durant in the future, i'm afraid |
They won't have the capspace, unless they drop Harden or Howard. Both combined will receive $39 million on 2016, when Durant is a FA. |
The expected cap that year is expected to be well into the 70 millions since its new tv rights year, besides Dwight could always opt out and take a slightly smaller deal to clear space |

This game proved that its not the players. they can play when they want to. It really is the lack of coaching/motivation from the coaches that causes this inconsistent play.
MDA is an analyst type. He's the guy devising schemes behind the scenes. Motivation, communication and leadership is not his strength. We need a change. |

Wouldn't that prove that it IS the players? If they can't get motivated to play, they don't need a new coach, they need a new occupation. |

these guys are mostly young. they need direction. and yes, part of a coaches job is to create a good motivational, competitive atmosphere. there are a lot of examples where a coach makes a huge difference.
Look at the SC football team this year. the players quit on kiffin. when a new coach came around it positively effected the play on the field. Guys started to play harder. Same with the Lakers in 99. Phil came and led the same squad as last year (minus NVE and Eddie) to a title. |

I'm laughing so hard as I write this. You really think the team as they sit now are a good team because they beat the thunder? You really think that the Coach is holding the team back? |

Relax, they're not as good as the Thunder of course. the thunder were sleep walking. But they did come back from 18 points down. the team that showed up against the Clippers couldn't do that. Today's team was a different team. Mister 'I didn't play Pau because I wanted to win the game' can't get these guys to play consistently, particularly on D. And that's a coaches responsibility, to get his team to play D. Can't believe there are some people who are still defending MDA after Thursday. |

Why so down on Johnson. He had a decent game on defense.
Stats were like. 11 points 5 assists 1 block 1 steal |

I don't think the MDA blamers can have it both ways. If these guys don't know how to play defense, then I think you can blame coaching. If they do know how to do it but don't bother, then it is a team full of lazy jerks that all need to be out of the league and working 9-5s like the rest of us.
Is there a Laker player that said the pregame pep talk was bad on Thursday and it made it hard to focus and play defense? Or anyone that said they didn't like DAntoni so he wasnt bothering to play hard? Coaching is a constant. It doesn't change wildly from game to game.
This team lets its offense dictate its defense. When they are shooting well, that means they're getting back on defense and don't have to deal with run outs and fast breaks. It also means they have momentum and get a much longer leash from the refs, who are afraid to call touch fouls that will turn the crowd against them. These guys aren't good enough to consistently succeed with jump shots so they will always be bipolar. They'll be hot or they'll be cold. When they're cold, the other teams run it down their throats. |

Look, we HATE MDA, period! No matter what he does, we never gonna give him props. We want him out!!!! It's that simple. When the team wins, its inspite of the coach, when the team loses its because of the coach. Got it??!!!

Morey will figure a way to clear if needed. There is even talk of Melo headed there this off-season. |

What has he done to deserve any props? Get us 22 wins? Alienate the bigs? Tell the fanbase to get lost?
I wonder how Kobe will hold up/manage playing in that system next year. Let's see if we're all still laughing with this system this same time next season |
