but ill try..

Probably make me seem like less of a homer anyways

I like you man, I really do. Your comments are usually pretty good even. Please don’t take this the wrong way:

Unless you are Adam Morrison or Sasha Vujacic (both born in ’84), then you really need to break that awful habit of referring to the Lakers as “we” or “us” or “our team”. Please just say, “The Lakers”. It’s even kind of fun to try and word it properly without committing the faux pas.

I had to fix my semantics a few years ago with the Spurs being “my” team, when somebody pointed out that I actually don’t play for them and how annoying it is to read it that way. Which is all very true by the way.

Once upon a time I did know a guy who really believed he was Stone Cold Steve Austin. Talk about a psycho! Don’t be that guy.

Well that depends on what winning really is to you EYES..

Is winning having a great regular season record and making to the conference Finals??

Or is winning having a good regular season record and winning it all??

My 1st arguement would be Mike Brown.. Bad coach on a good team.. ask Cleveland fans how much faith they have in Mike.. He cant even draw up offensive plays.. some say as long as Mike Brown is coaching that team they wont win the big one.. i agree with that and other reasons..

My 2nd arguement would be Rick Adeleman.. Great coach on a mediocre UNDERSIZED team in the WEST.. Hes got that undermanned, undersized team leaving it all out on the court.. shit they above 500 ONLY because he has them believe in what they are doing.. and to have them believe when they too stupid to realize they dont shit as a go to guy is amazing..

And in Phils defense no one make game to game adjustments in a playoff series better than the man.. NO ONE.. Last year Howard said we ran defenses at him he hasnt even SEEN yet.. Straight from the horses mouth whose also a vet at this point.. also dont forget we faced them twice in the reg. season losing those games..

You say we wont win this year because of our players.. i say we’ll win it all because of our coaching..

Phil with all his Zen like ability was still lucky along with Riley to coach some of the greatest collective talent ever & teams. Great Players win games. Great coaches put them in position to accomplish that job. You could draw up the best play known to man. That player still has to get open, make a move, avoid the defenders, Not get blow for a whistle & concentrate to make the shot or free throws. Does Phil control all of that as well. I give Phil a lot of credit as well. A great coach can’t make a bad team win. A bad coach can win with a great team.

(monkey noises)

That’s one big gorilla! LMFAO!

Dwight da KING KING of da jungle. Recognize.

QQ out!

JR Smith is an ass and it aint got nothing to do with coaching.. I still cant get over that lane violation on the jump ball in last years playoffs.. thats grade school bruh.. but aye the NBA wanted us to win that they just missed the only player moving while everyone stood still??? yeah ill hit that in a second..

And Phil never really taught Kobe, Shaq and Jordan?? So i guess there was a mandatory reading time?? Cuz Kobe has said Phil has made him read almost every war book there is lol I just thinks Phils coaching methods go beyond CERTAIN peoples comprehensions.. Jordan and Kobe both said Phil was the greatest teacher they EVER had PERIOD.. that says alot considering either of them couldve rolled over and said “shit look at my #’s, thats the system”.. ESPECIALLY when Phil wrote that book on Kobe.. Shit Kobe welcomed the man back with no problem.. and i doubt its because hes a great “roleplayer coach”..

I loved Phils answer yesterday when they asked him about what made him successful “well i got to coach some great talents” WHICH IS TRUE.. BUT what is missed is getting all those talents to abandon their own goals and get on the team goal, not letting great teams get complacent, etc, etc.. The triangle is a team offense.. If everyone gets on Kobe for having such a ego how do you think that ego gets curbed??

Lol and im sure we do get the benefit of the refs/NBA.. which is why Kobe damn near fouled out last night.. RonRon always getting whistles and Odom and Gasol get shoved around in the post all day.. and call me crazy but our president of the Players association dont get no calls and he’ll drive on 4 people with the ol “let me just throw myself into someone”.. if you’ve really watched us you would know so that was a useless statement you made..

But aye we the Lakers.. the league HAS TO want us to win right?? yeah stick to the Bucks pal..

Westbrook is coming along very nicely & I hope he continues to blossom as that was a bold pick in the draft for a young combo guard.

The Mike Conley movement I’d like to bring to a halt. If you shoot 1 or 2 threes every 5 games. Your % will be as high as his. You may see or know something I don’t. That kid man I’ll leave it at that. It’s crazy to hate a good guy who’s image is great for the league. I hate him probably more than you do Earl.

Would you prefer your star being a great guy & not that good or a douche to some but successful player & winner. You could only have one or the other. Of course we’d like them to be a perfect role model & win. Which is rare. Many people wouldn’t understand what most players went through to get where they at. They play yet we have all the opinions & comments. I know they sometimes wish they could tell us all to shove it.

How ironic though. Some of us on the site would call for the heads & start emailing Stern or media. He said this & hurt my feeling or my kid heard him & is traumatized. I’m also guessing you’d like JR a little more if he played for your team. Your perception of him may be just that.

It’s funny we were talking about Adam Morrison the other day & how he was a bust. Could it be he happened to run into Larry Brown who is arguably one of the toughest coach to play for. Especially on rookies. He probably ruined this kid’s confidence. Then next up he had Phil Jackson who’s as sarcastic as they come. He only gives certain players a chance he likes. NOtice how he didn’t really over coach Jordan,Kobe or Shaq. He coached the otehrs around them to co-exist. Even George Karl has stated he could have took a better approach with handling JR. Smith. A lot of these coaches expect the kids to be like them. With the discipline & wisdom of growing where they did. Why must the player conform & act like everybody that haven’t accomplished near what they have. Most opinions,assumptions,perceptions are just that.

I don’t really agree with most of your comments or opinions on some players. Am I a rogue or jerk for that. I actually like the emotion JR Smith plays with & don’t know many players that could replicate his abilities do you. He came into the league young. Played for Byron Scott who also doesn’t like Rookies. Why that is I don’t know. Hey I played with Magic so I’m high & mighty. The worse coaches to play for at times. There aren’t enough player/coaches in the league.

If JR Smith was the pre-conceived Mr. Nice guy he’d probably not have gotten drafted or been outplayed by someone else.

I also happen to think the Lakers suck. Get the benefit of the doubt from the refs,league & president of the players association. I think had KG been healthy you guys would still be vying for another ring. I think as deep as this roster is. It’s all about names & no games. This franchise has aged Kobe Bryant. He has to do way to much. You guys won’t win the Finals this year. There I’m finished.
