    He'll carry out Luke's game plan with no outside agenda i.e. (I'll replace Luke in a few years when he fails). That alone is important to have a guy that has your back and wants you to succeed right out of the gate. Easy for a young guy like Luke to put together a staff of vets all waiting to move in on his job. Shaw is a good guy too and I think he'll support Luke and let him lead. Luke knows how to run the GSW game, what he needs from these guys is youth development and some solid FA pickups from the FO to come in here and start a new winning culture in LA again.

    Didn't know anything about him, and besides from the video I still don't. But I still came away impressed with it. Nice to see coaches who will bring a sense of confidence to the team and reinforce it with positivity.

    ^^^ I agree. We have beaten them most of the time for so many years that this is exactly what they're doing, and for taking Luke away. Pure spite. I get it but it still sucks.

    Good article but the sad sack who wrote it is using the "silent S"

    "So to add a bit of clarity on what exactly the Lakers (and by extension their fans) can expect from Mermuys' hire"

    Not a good look. :SadPau2:

    Not to mention with what the article says about Mermuys .... never once was grit, fistfights or foxholes mentioned. This is the NBA where real men play.

    The Lakers' coach? The Laker's coach? The Lakers's coach?

    Which one is it?

    i think it's actually debatable. if you're referring to the lakers as a single entity, it's "lakers's", but if you're thinking of them like a group of lakers (like a pack of wolves), it would be lakers'. i guess technically, the former is better, but when people use the plural mascot name as a subject in a sentence, the verb is the plural form. you don't say, the Timberwolves is, but you do see people say the Heat is, are the Magic is. at least i feel like i remember seeing it this way.

    in any case, i'm not going to grammar police that one. but i will on names ending in s. lebron james's jumper is broke. nba officials' sense of fair play is warped.
