I guess the Lakers settled on a full time coach......

I'm new here, but I've read your comments in other discussions.I must say - you are as bizarre as they come.You act like a Boston fan by supporting the Celts, but then you also support the Yanks, who are sworn enemies of Beantown. Bizarre !!

Nothing bizarre about it.............In 1957......at the age of seven............My love for the Yankees was born when I saw Mickey Mantle play on tv.............The same year the same thing happened when I saw Bill Russell and the Celtics............And that same year I became a Colts fan because of Johnny Unitas........

So my teams of 55 years was based on players.......Not cities..............

Ditto.I think phil is obviously a better coach, but mikes system fits this club and personnel better....and cause Dwight and Kobe will voluntarily defend....the d will work itself out.

Makes sense to me......

I don't know why folks can't wrap their heads around this. You and I are exactly the same in this regard. I am a native New Yorker and a life long (unapologetic) Yankees fan. Likewise, as a child while watching the old half-time show "Red on Roundball" and reading the stories about the great Boston Celtics, that told of how Red Auerbach chose the "best players" (regardless of RCC), I became a life long fan. It's really as simple as that.

Exactly......................

Now Kobe and speak Italian to his coach

LOLakers

Well Kobe will be happy with putting up 30 shots a game and not getting in trouble for it.

Who will make the better pick and roll players, Pau and Nash or Dwight and Nash??

Mike;s system need a spot up 3 shooter to work 100% will a trade come to fit this role if so who do they trade??
