I would wonder this, as well... except for we have a coach that pushes guys like Chris Kaman and Jordan Hill way to end of the bench when they're producing. _________________ Lakers, today. Lakers, tomorrow. Lakers, forever.
Antoni gotta give some more PT with Baze down. Ridiculous amount of coach's decision DNPs for some players. You might as well showcase as many players as possible now.
I just watched the Linsanity movie and it gave me a little bit of insight into D'antoni.
He's the type of guy that wants to give guys a chance to make it in the NBA. Lin was about to get cut in NY, and D'antoini and his assistants pretty much said that they should give him some burn first. Let him have the opportunity to try to stay in the NBA.
But I also got the impression that if you're already a known quantity he isn't as generous.
Right now, he's giving some guys with good attitudes a chance to earn their next contracts. There are some guys that he's not worried about because he knows they'll still be in the NBA next year if they choose to be.
Then there's probably some people that may not be the best at getting the coach to want to give them the chance.

most coaches and execs in the nba are like this. i explained this before. the NBA is a fraternity. for guys not to like you around the league you must be a pretty bad attitude type of guy. its really that simple. most coaches will help you continue your career if you have a good attitude. if they can of course. i mean if you're out of the playoffs. you can get burn with a good attitude. if your chasing a ring. sorry 10th man. you aint seeing the light of day. _________________ LAL4K3RS wrote: He(Kobe) is the white haired kung fu master that you realize is older than dirt but can still kick your arse when in a sitting position drinking a nice herbal tea.
Today Mike D'Antoni should have had Marshon in the rotation, if only to prevent others from getting injured. Also it promotes poor chemistry to blatantly not give a guy any run like that. I was disappointed with that decision.
actually no.
think about this for a moment.
our team sucks
we're not going to the playoffs
all of our old guys are hurt so they are not taking your mins
if you're a young player on the lakers. but you're not playing. its YOUR OWN FAULT.
what in the world could brooks have done or not done in practice that puts him in the dog house on a tank team? THink for a moment without your bias for brooks. i like what i think brooks can do as well. but think about that for a moment. how bad is brooks in practice or how bad is his attitude to the point where the coach gives you DNP's on a losing team? that tells me its pretty darn bad. Mitch has always been nice to even camp fodder guys and making sure they get some preseason burn and spl burn. why? so they can get calls from other nba teams. being in the nba is a fraternity. brooks not playing tells me that attitude and effort are not there. and thats a shame. he has the chance of a life time right now. ball hard on a sorry team that is just so happen the biggest franchise in the nba. and everyone will see you and someone will give you a check you dont even deserve because of it. but if you just cant be consistent and your attitude/ effort isnt there. then you deserve to not get any looks.
I know Brooks has a poor attitude and is turnover prone, I said it in one of my earlier posts. But when you only have 7 players on the roster and you still refuse to put a guy in to relieve the other players then that's crossing the line, that's not teamwork. MDA style of play has cause almost every Laker to become injured. And it doesn't help that no matter what team the guy's coaching he's always publicly feuding and alienating his players. We never had that with Phil.. MDA is just being childish

Guy was never really given much of a chance. A permanent benching after one brief slump is no way to coach. Still tops in efficiency. Just an amazing statistic. PER is a terrific indicator. Brooks will bust out if he ever gets consistent minutes. Needs a coach that will allow him to play through his mistakes. Not be permanently benched over a brief slump. It's probably too late. The damage has been done courtesy of Mike D'Antoni.

I doubt his benching has anything to do with having a slump.

dont lie to make a point. brooks got his shot, did well very early. and start playing a really bad brand of basketball after that. it didnt get better. it got progressively worse. it wasnt just missed shots. it was horrific passes being thrown. bad defense. all of it.
and because he plays in a smoother slower pace. it will always look like he's going half speed. thats not helping his cause either.
and i believe the guy probably has an attitude problem. there's no way you dont get burn when you are on a team thats this sorry and have this many hurt guys. if you cant get off the bench and we know you have talent. then your attitude SUCKS. _________________ LAL4K3RS wrote: He(Kobe) is the white haired kung fu master that you realize is older than dirt but can still kick your arse when in a sitting position drinking a nice herbal tea.

Um, sample size?
Also, PER is a terrible statistic. Brooks doesn't play because he's among the worst defenders in the league, and because every time he touches the ball he sprints full-speed toward the hoop and chucks a shot.

I think that he really might be the one of the worst Lakers players ever.
the benching is so senseless that it has people coming up with theories about marshon brooks having a bad personality, even when there is absolutely no proof of this....
it's quite obvious that d'antoni has some form of retardation. which one, i have yet to put my finger on...but it's obvious
