    At least there is one guy on the sideline he can go to.

    That's pretty sweet DAR is doing that in limited time.

    What's not sweet is Scott slapping DAR in the face once again by saying Huertas was the main catalyst for our run. I'm starting to despise Byron the person now because this is going past coaching.

    This is sickening. For those of us who watched, it was clearly DAR who shined down the stretch and brought us back. Im with Doc, I'm starting to truly despise this man.

    At some point Byron will turn the kids loose. He has to. Last year he waited until January to let Clarkson get going, and with the record what it is there just isn't any reason to continue making the vets the primary focus, aside from keeping their trade value high heading into the deadline.

    Clarkson got more pt because Kobe went down. He was forced to play Jordan.

    I'm becoming convinced that we need a soft-handed big man who moves. I'm not saying we should dump Hibbert at this point, but we could use someone who is, to adopt a Mark Jackson phrase, a willing mover. Randle should be the one doing the moving and finishing, but it would be great to have an athletic big down there who can run, catch, and pass. It would maximize DA's talents by spacing the floor and giving him a target on PnRs.

    Noah would be a great fit. Here are some others: Hickson, Speights, and Ezeli.

    Really pissed me off when he said that. They asked who was responsible for the run at the end and he said it was all Huertas. Zero credit given to Russ or anyone else.

    Byron is a f***ing moron. We all know that by now. I hope he's gone by January.

    Yeah right, like B0ron even has a playbook big enough that Russ could have only learned 20% by now. I'd find it more believeable that he has a play pamphlet and Russ skimmed the half the front page, or about 20% of it.

    It's probably written on a greasy napkin...the grease coming from his stupid face, not his food.

    20% of garbage or 100% of garbage , you still get the same result : GARBAGE .

    Only in Lakersland we have a "system " which is getting the ball out of the hands of a good PG ....

    It's time to f***ing move ... The days of "point guards" spotting up for Shaq and Kobe are gone ...

    Exactly. D'Angelo is a special playmaker and putting the ball in the kid's hands will make the game so much easier for everyone. If we could ever get some shooters to spread the court on those screen and rolls as well as bigs who can actually catch and finish we will become so much more potent offensively. We've already seen Clarkson can be very good as a cutter off the ball. If we can get someone like Batum or Barnes he will be able to push the ball and get them wide open trail three's and if the defense commits he will be able to get plenty of lobs to Jordan and bigs running the floor.
