    Typical cowardly management move: have a scapegoat so the ones are to blame don’t have to look in mirror and change. SMH.

    Well yeah, because we won. Those "current" plans will change with our next ugly loss.

    If that's their attempt at damage control... yikes!

    This is beyond dumb. You can run a team like NOP or WAS like that but come on now. We're better than this... or at least i would like to think we are.
    Im more and more convinced we need a new, rich owner, who will hire best people possible (still can't believe any member of the Rambis family holds a power position here).
    Im also 100% sure, this s*** came from Kurt...

    I don't see the fanbase taking to the streets in some kind of direct action movement.

    It was a Randy Pfund extension, if you remember that s*** show after Dunleavy. Extended then fired after a few months.

    Why would anyone leak this after probably the best win of the year?

    I wonder if this is Vogel's F-U to the front office (Even if the news may be accurate), they come out looking really bad and they have some pressure on them.

    Well, Faigen, he probably wasn’t saying to play Dwight and DJ together. But if Dwight was going to play then there was no reason to try to force DJ on the coaching staff too. I do like that Rambis is catching heat publicly, with a good mocking mixed in. As far as Vogel being maybe the leaker as an eff you …. I’d bet against it. Doesn’t seem the kind of thing he would do, just guessing. But the whole staff had to be insulted. Wouldn’t surprise me if Penberthy, Handy or Fiz might have done it to put some heat back on the front office and shadow exec Kurt in solidarity with Frank.

    And all that said …. how many here have been pulling their hair out over too much small ball and not enough Dwight? Although it’s being done because of Westbrick.

    Well, we will see if the players rally around their coach and get some kind of streak going.

    How the Lakers went from Jerry West to this tool is quite something. Rambis is probably thinking I played with Kareem and Mychal Thompson: we can do the same thing here!.
    This makes the whole Russ move seem more then just AD/Lebron: Magic said we needed stars, well I can outdo him and get the 3rd guy in here which no one thought we could do it.

    Based on what he did in Minnesota, Rambis doesn't really seem to care about fit and is willing to stick square pegs in round holes thinking the round holes is what got him success as a player and assistant

    For all of our sakes I hope they don't come out and fall flat on their face after one good game. Stan and Austin 35 min per game Frank.

    Yeah at this point Frank knows he may be fired at any time so short of benching Russ he needs to play his best defenders and try to limit Russ’s minutes in the 4th quarter. And play Dwight for crissakes.

    Rambis is Emperor Palpatine in our Drama. Just when you think he’s dead and gone, he rises from some dark cave to F things up for everyone, again.
