Byron Scott Discussion 2015-16 - FIRED!!! (PAGE 172)

Devin Ebanks THANK YOU. I'll say it again, this more than likely goes to the top where the superstars are at. We are shooting ourselves in the foot already. No surprise, this franchise can't seem to get away from hurting themselves ever since the great Dr. left us.

 

Hey Byron!

 

For real though, we're f***ed. No free agent will look at us. Bring a new coach asap, so we can look semi-decent come free agency time. Let him install some kind of an organized ball, anything!

 

We were 9-21 at this time last season. With a far less talented roster. Let that sink in.

 

So @BDG has illustrated very clearly that Byron has absolutely no excuses this season. Last year, he could blame it on injuries, less skilled players, whatever. Randle went down for the season in game 1, so we were spared from watching him bench Randle the entire year (which is what he totally would have done, maybe give him 10-15 min playing time). Through fortune or misfortune, Kobe goes down and he is forced to play JC big minutes. JC actually develops, wow what a concept. Eventually, Byron ends up coaching the team so poorly that the Lakers are rewarded with a high draft pick. Then he tries to take credit for all of it like it was some grand master plan.

This year he is completely exposed, there are no more excuses to hide behind. The team is playing the worst basketball in Lakers HISTORY. Yet somehow he's still getting a pass, which means the FO is totally and completely fine with how the team is being coached and performing on the floor. Just ridiculous. I'm beginning to agree with the "clean house from top to bottom" folks. It's time to go scorched earth.

 

His coaching got me thinking... im pretty sure it was ALL Magic that made him look good. Dude was tough (still is) but he was a scrub (and still is). Makes me sad to think he was a part of Showtime .

 

Cmon now Byron was no scrub as a player. As a coach he's freaking terrible, but he was a stout role player just like Horry and Fisher but to me at a much higher level. Lakers probably would've won one more title if he had been healthy against Chicago in the 91 Finals. Worthy was hurt as well.

 

Well, he was no scrub (kwame scrub) but Magic sure made him earn few more $.

 

Sure same with Fisher and Horry. I doubt anyone would have remembered them either if it weren't for Kobe, Shaq, and Pau.

 

Listened to a Summer League interview with Madsen


So not head coach material in my opinion (At least at this stage of his career, and on this level), but probably an ideal assistant coach.

 

Presenting your new head coach:

I'm telling you we should go with my iPad idea. It could be the greatest social networking, marketing, sports innovation of the 21st century.

 

Oh, FFS. Just mercy fire his behind........

 

Yep. More of the same. Just waiting for a few his stupid post game quotes..
