    Plenty. Hop on. Just bring some alcohol. That's how we cope.

    This guy is an absolute DISGRACE. He is the worst coach in the NBA. How many f***ing times do we have to get destroyed on the interior when has Bass and Kelly in there together? PLEASE JUST STOP. It is absolutely sickening how pathetic this guy is. We can't win without this guy. We just can't. He is atrocious in every aspect as a basketball coach. Horrific rotations, no system, no discipline imposed on players like Kobe chucking up horrible shots, no defensive scheme, no leadership. PATHETIC. Get this sorry a** coach out of here.

    I can honestly see him running with Bass and Kelly for another 10 games and come out saying "yeah that pairing doesn't work to well, we'll try something new next game." and then comes out and plays Sacre and Kelly.

    I understand the criticism on Byron, and I agree that he has tons of deficiencies, but is there any coach in the league that can discipline Kobe? This season is a lost cause, with or without a coach, if Kobe keeps chucking.

    Didn't he do something similar last season? I forget with who, maybe a guard and Wes/Boozer? Then he finally gave in and put Clarkson and whoever it was out there, Black or Davis maybe.

    I think having Huertas hurt and gone for Visa issues has hurt his rotations a bit in preseason. I'm intrigued by his creative pairings players for sure.

    But instead of what I'm guessing is his plan to make the opposition adapt to his innovative lineups, they are instead finding a way to exploit out inexperience.

    Flashes of brilliance, but no consistency. They'll figure it out in no time I'm sure. We have a mostly new roster, and no one expected KOBE to average 10 3 pointers a game. He was out most of the preseason, so they are playing like what they are. New teammates, with half very inexperienced at this level. All the vets had solid numbers.

    Kobe's threes are a problem, but no way is he our biggest problem. Our defense is non-existent, guys are playing out of position and look lost, he's sticking to substitution patterns no matter what the game dictates or if adjustments are needed. We also aren't playing as a team and are going 1-on-1 a lot. This is coaching, awful coaching.

    Lack of trust. Hibbert needs to take them paint balling again. When they are on the same page, they have shown flashes of amazing play.

    I do think Byron should have trimmed the roster down much sooner to help their cohesion.

    Be taller and weigh 60 lbs more. And more athletic. With longer arms. And better hops.

    Oh no, I'm not arguing that coaching (mostly defense and rotation) is our biggest issue. We still aren't going anywhere with Kobe putting up 10 contested threes. No team or system can endure the Kobe offense.

    Byron just relies on tired coaching cliches instead of actually, you know, implementing offensive and defensive schemes and adjusting to the flow of each game. Sometimes I think he is just doing a bad impression of Pat Riley.

    I really hope that wasn't his whole message. Telling guys to play harder or man up isn't coaching, it's like...cheerleading or motivational football movie halftime speak. Tell them what to fix, show them how to fix it, that's the job. That reminds me of Scott Brooks and Mark Jackson wired during various playoffs, "play harder!". Yeah that'll offset the smart coaching of the other team.

    I honestly think that's all Byron has. A bunch of tired sayings.
