    Wow .... really? She's going to just think you're a crazy. Really? I would not have done that. Seriously they could take that as a looney tunes fan's credible threat and have the cops come find you and check you out. Poor cops.

    Think of it as a mercy killing. He doesn't know how sick he is. It could be much worse!

    I could never have conceived that a meager coach could inspire such hatred and putrid thoughts. He truly is that horrible and will be beyond hated and mocked until the day of his dismissal.

    Poop no longer satisfies the need to describe how horrible Byron is. Compare:

    The hate has obviously grown more intense.

    Why the hell are Tawn and Worthy throwing a pity party for Byron? They point out that things are a broken record with this team. They stink in the same way over and over again. Then why is it they say stuff like "I can imagine how frustrated the coaching staff must be" instead of "something needs to change and I think it starts at the top with the coach." Forget whether or not you think Byron is a good coach, leave opinions of him out of it. Just look at the results.

    Scenario A: Byron is the best coach in the history of the game. The team doesn't listen to his brilliant offensive and defensive philosophies. They stink and lose.

    Scenario B: Byron is a terrible coach. The team doesn't listen to his idiocy. They stink and lose.

    It doesn't matter whether Byron is good or not if the team doesn't respond to the coach and put out good results on the floor. F*** the Lakers FO. Seriously. Making Cleveland look like a well run franchise at this point.

    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
    Applies to both b0ron and the FO.

    Tough night for the starters, they usually come out playing well and get a lead earl...

    Wait never mind that never happens. Change the lineup you moron so we don't struggle to put up 20 points, while having to watch someone hold the ball on offense for 15 seconds before passing it.

    I actually made it through 2.5 quarters last night. But that was to watch Lillard and CJ orchestrate an actual offense with ball movement or else that s*** would have been off earlier.

    Kobe Bryant:
    "He is such a basketball genius in terms of the details of the game, the little nuances of the game and the rhythm of the game. So the game with him gets played at a much higher level than I think people understand. Players don't understand it until they experience it and play under his tutelage.... "

    We're truly doomed.















    Oh s*** ..... sorry...... got the threads mixed up again with my new found indifference to the Lakers

    The things the nameless one does are beyond any comprehension from any reasonable person. His best coaching moves still don't even climb to the idiotic level. Just terrible coaching if what he does can even be called that. Fortunately for me, my youth league season is in full swing and my time to be infuriated by the Laker mess is much less than before. I still am foolish enough to record games and try to watch them. I can't even begin to imagine why they keep him around. First year since 1970 that I try and force Laker thoughts out of my head.

    I didn't like the Kobe potshots through the article.

    Kobe, at least for the last 20 - 25 games has rarely had a negative impact on games, like he did during the chuckfest. So to say Scott is doing what he is doing
    to appease some sort of Kobe's demand is asinine and reeks of agenda.

    I don't know. Anyone else feel this writer indeed has a good way with words in painting the detailed picture of Scott that he very well could have picked up from the best posts on sites like LB and LG? So much of it sounds so much like what has been said here from the start of the season and even with the Summer League and pre-season games. But he does put it all together very well, except I agree with not liking the Kobe potshots to the degree they were in there. When he was shamelessly chucking every game OK but that behavior has been reasonably modified and nothing positive at all to say about his play even when there have been stretches of impressive performance from him at his age and being the leader or a leader in the team assists all season long.

    I think all Byron is doing is catering to Kobe Bryant. He's not teaching the young players. He's not installing an offense. Just a few weeks ago Mitch said this season was nothing but Kobe's farewell tour and I think that was a clear indication that Byron's only prerogative is to give Kobe whatever he wants.

    Kobe to his credit lately has tried harder to get everyone else involved (how he should have played since day one), but it's still about him. This season is nothing but service to Kobe which is what has resulted in the worst Laker product of all time.

    Agreed, but do you think that means the FA's mindset is/hasbeen: "This season is the kobe show and in the process we get a great chance at keeping our pick, and next year we'll see Byron REALLY getting to coach."

    I am terrified that this is indeed the mindset. To the average, uninformed fan, it would seem like a viable excuse to keep Byron. He was in a no-win situation trying to juggle Kobe's swan song. To knowledgeable fans who realize Kobe doesn't play the same position as JC, Randle or Russell and shouldn't interfere whatsoever with their minutes, it's asinine. Unfortunately, the Laker fan base consists of a lot of casual fans who who swallow another year of Boron.

    But what's even more terrifying is that if the front office doesn't fire Byron, it means they are as stupid as him because they actually believe he can "start coaching" as opposed to what he was doing the last two seasons.

    Wow, incredibly spot on. I agree 100% with what was said. I don't think he was taking shots at Kobe either, everything he said was true.

    Excellently written. I can't add any more. I can't wait for this nightmare season to be offer, Kobe to retire, and Boron to be gone. This can't happen soon enough. I wish it were today.

    No I still have faith Byron is just here for Kobe. With Kobe gone there's utterly no reason for Byron to remain. There's no reason right now really, but even the one reason that makes twisted sense is gone if Kobe is gone.

    Terrible possible scenario:

    Lakers like Byron, and don't want to eat crow and fire him and pay two coaches

    They use excuses for the performance.(Kobe, rookies, etc)

    They decide to supplement Byron by hiring additional coaches like David Blatt who have to answer to Mensa Byron.

    Another year of hell.

    *gasp*

    Also @therealdeal .... well, Byron may enable Kobe, but it should not interfere with:

    1. playing Black
    2. playing Randle
    3. playing Nance (which he did, lately)
    4. playing DAR more and starting
    5. playing JC together with DAR and more
    6. allowing them close out close games
    7. allow them to play in garbage time in blowouts (so, every other game)
    8. teaching them something other than manning up and building foxholes (or is it finding one?)

    Kobe being detrimental, in his current state, to winning is debatable, but it has nothing to do with developing rookies. If anything - Kobe is the one doing all of it.
