I think we need a Byron vs Mchale thread...battle of former Laker and Celtic legends as coaches |
No, we don't need another thread. I just wish people would back off a little bit. Such a great win for the Lakers and all I hear is people throwing B Scott under the bus. |

Because he wants Princeton offense not pnr. No 3 pt either. But ironically that's how lakers won. |

Well coach BS told him have to have smart pass, have to know who to pass. |
You know what. It might actually be a better pass to Young than to Wes in the corner even open. I see so many times Wes air ball the corner 3. Wes shoot better 3 when he is not at the corner. |
But seriously, Lin got lucky. The right play would be to Wes who was wide open in the corner. Swaggy also saved Lin earlier where Lin had the ball with 3-4 seconds left and dumped it to Young for the 3. Lin is still timid in crunch time, he's not confident enough to assume responsibility for a big shot. |

I don't know what everyone defending Byron is watching. We had an 8 point lead with 1:40 remaining and blew it because he refused to bring someone in who could reliably advance the ball past halfcourt. Had Nick Young not made a miracle 3 we would have lost this game for no reason other than Byron Scott's inability to recognize problems quickly enough. Just because you get the win this time doesn't excuse the poor decisions you make.
Don't get me wrong I'm happy we won but there is no scenario in which it should have even gone to overtime. |

He was sent in to play pg so his job is to get others open look. I am sure he would shoot it if someone like kobe can get to him in open (we saw plenty of 3 pt shots like that, made or not) |

Kobe played pretty well in the fourth. He made some great passes and hit a dagger three that should have put it away. The turnovers happened because Byron decided to close with no PG. |
With about a minute to go and up by four, there was no reason for Kobe to make a telegraphed cross-court pass. A lack of a PG had nothing to do with that, just an unwise decision by Kobe.
He made up for it with his assists in OT though, so his props are still deserved. |

clutch decisions. Everyone notices this line up is missing a pg. Princeton offense see doesn't really need one? |

We won the game! Can't we just put the kindest explanation on things when we win??? Or is it going to be like this after EVERY SINGLE GAME, win or lose?
We beat the Spurs! But it's still BS sucks... All I'm saying is give it a break or go to the P&M thread. |

Kings were pretty good before Cousins got sick and the Hawks are on a 9 game win streak. This team is not as bad as their record shows. Kobe taking too many shots and bad coaching is what makes this Laker team look so bad. |

That should be a pg job so it is relevant. |

| Lin admitted he didn't know how much time was left when he gave it to Nick. Not a good thing for a PG to admit. Good game for Lin overall, but he needs to be smarter. Definitely dumb of Scott to not run with another ball handler at the end of regulation. |

Well, this is the game thread for this game. He made bad decision in the game so people are talking about his bad decision in this game. When he actually made some great decision in another game. People would be talking about how good he is in the other game thread. |

Kobe had 9 assists. We played some tough defense like B Scott wanted. No need to wring our hands about this when we won the game... |

My point is our team won the game. No need to complain right??? It's all good because that's what really matters, right???
I know I'm going against the grain because everyone seems to have a beef with B Scott even though we beat the Spurs. There's no need to pile on though. We get it...
By reading the posts you would think we lost the game. |
