Wmc 15/16: We are finally at the END! BYE BYRON!!!

Oh yeah. One step closer to keeping the pick every game...

 

Playing Lou so much when he stunk again.

Not playing with a true PG on the floor.

Continuing to play Bass at center.

Not enough high screen and rolls again.

Not getting the kids involved in those final two possessions. Terrible shots by Kobe and Ron.

 

I don't know if our luck will hold when the time comes. But I guess we have no choice.

 

I guess you have learned the virtue of acceptance TR

 

Losses don't bother me, its how we lose them.

 

So about my 1-10 prediction...

 

I still cant believe how we are THAT BAD with this kind of a roster ... Giving up on the season 9 games in - great ...

 

A decent coach would probably squeeze 3 more wins with the recent schedule.

 

yeah i really don't understand how this team is so bad

there is talent on the roster

 

I'll sound like a kid but that pic from "byrons playbook" looks like a...

 

Realy? I think you know, no need do be "politically correct" man. Repeat after most of us, "f*** BYRON SCOTT"!

 

I find myself thinking the same thing. and this team has been in games. but on both ends, there lots of little mistakes all the time. that can be due to both bad/insufficient coaching and the inexperience of some of the key players. there were two or three offensive possessions last night in which randle was just aimlessly walking into areas on the court that were clearly supposed to be clear of laker players. contrast this with dallas on offense--on one play alone I counted three free rim runs from their players (I think they finally found the third one). that's movement with a purpose and appropriate spacing. and it's how a team with fairly equivalent talent to the lakers is over .500 while the lakers are nearly historically bad.

 

I don't see how people are surprised. It happend last year. Nothing has changed..

 

Last year we gave him excuses. There aren't really any this year. Even if your talent is lacking, you can still have a recognizable system and be making progress.

Our systems?

We don't need no stinking systems.... it's all about effort and manning up. :Headpoint:

 

It's so painful watching our offense, it really is pick up basketball out there. Half the time there's always 2 or 3 player standing around or the ball handler dribbles for 15 seconds or one of the big guys holding the ball for 10 seconds trying to pass it but no one is moving. And then it turns into an ISO fest with a bad shot and since there's no spacing, we give up a lay up at the other end.

Byron is known for a tough training camp but it's tough for all the wrong reasons. Instead of teaching guys who have never played together an offense, he had them run and run and run. A suppose defensive coach yet teams can score on us with an arm tied behind their backs, blindfolded while on pogo sticks.

I refuse to believe that Dallas's roster is better than ours. Dirk is old, Parsons and Matthews are coming back from big injuries, D Will is a shell of his former self, Zaza freaking Pachulia... Yet they are .500 while we are 1-8.

I'm desperately hoping the Lakers get booed at Staples Center tomorrow, maybe that will finally open the front office's eyes and they do something about it. Whether it's fire Byron or coming out and saying something cause they've been awfully quiet.

 

I nearly kicked the TV last night at the point near the end, Dallas goes small, Scott reacts by putting Bass in for Hibbert, Dallas goes right to the rim and seals it, that's just plain dumb, take out your defensive anchor in the paint to "force" them to go to the basket instead of zoning the perimeter and giving up a 20 footer at best. Nance gets 11 friggin minutes, where's Black? Those two have been bright spots.... WTF! Williams for Russell again...on and on I can go...a fitting post for whine, moan, and cry..
