    I'm referring to the time stamp JSM said.

    Got to go for the win regardless of the matchup ( which was a bad one) .

    At least if you can't draw a play involving Westbrook's man off the ball (and Boron can't) , give it to Lou ...

    I'll give credit to Kobe for not taking a ridiculous J ( and bricking) and going to the hoop for once though

    How f***** is it that Scott doesn't even measure up to "minimally competent"? If he's truly trying his best to win games he sure goes about it all wrong. Still feels like Summer League with all the guys being inserted into the starting lineup and/or regular rotation, and then pulled back out of either or both just like that the next week.

    Mitch has never been the type to throw anybody under the bus when times get rough, so comments like this don't really surprise me at all. The man has clearly heard all our frustrations about Byron the past few months, and right now he's attempting to keep the rioters at bay.

    All things considered, Mitch has always been a guy who doesn't tip his hand, and who keep things close to the vest. I have faith he'll let Byron go this summer, and we'll all be ready to move on to the next chapter of Laker Basketball. For now, let us continue to seethe in anger and use Byron as the forum whooping-boy.

    I saw this posted the other day. Byron Scott can learn a thing or two..

    A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment. - John Wooden

    Again, my fear that Byron survives and coaches us again next season is growing.

    If he's kept next season, I'm handing over my Laker card.

    Here are a couple of gifs I found when doing a quick search. The first would be fun if it was Byron, and the second is just funny. :)

    So last week Mitch said this season is all about Kobe and basically the kids development don't matter. Now he's saying he loves Byron's old school approach. It's clear they're condoning this atrocity of a head coach. I really don't see us firing him and that's mighty depressing to think about.

    Does he enjoy Byron's approach of blowing close games by inexplicable subs after our guys have totally flipped the momentum our way? How does any GM sit back watch that and go "yeah that's our boy".

    Instead of riding Lou who was molten hot at the OKC game end, he puts his boss Kobe in with 4 mins left to be the hero. How did he do?

    Kobe Bryant misses contested 25-foot three point jumper
    Kobe Bryant misses contested 20-foot jumper
    Kobe Bryant misses contested 8-foot jumper

    117-113 End of the 4th Quarter

    Thanks Captain F***t***

    ...odd considering how Bryant has stated he doesn't mind anyone else closing the deal now.

    Didn't Mitch also come out and support Potato Head before canning him?

    Byron could learn a lot about life from Wooden. Period.

    Byron could learn a lot about life from my 5 year old.
