that makes our front office sound so incompetent

but it's can't be, can it?

 

It's the Lakers bro..this season is going to be a circus, must see TV.

 

Must read articles, but I'm not so sure about "must see tv"

Last year they were unwatchable, and I saved myself a lot of suffering by taking a nearly season long pass.

 

I like watching coaching strategy as much as the players. I'm going to be watching how Ham handles our three ring circus. I bet masterfully.

 

He ought to first day of camp get up in front of everyone and go good cop / bad cop on them. The usual pump them up and we’re all in this together …. followed by (I’ve paid my dues and worked my a** off to get to my first head coaching job, and will continue with nothing less than that. But if ANY of you are going to give me any less than that yourselves or cop an attitude that’s going to derail this chance for the team AND for me …. we are going to have a problem!!). Said forcibly like the big strong dude he is.

 

I think Darvin is going to do great with these young guys. Hard work, effort and hustle is how he stayed in the league, that should resonate with these kids. With the vets, straight-no chaser talk should be enough. " If you still want to be considered to be the great talent and players, that I believe that your are, then you need to bust your a**, and go out and prove it again this season". " If you want to rest on your laurels, and coast on your past accomplishments, we are going to need you to submit your list of preferred destinations". Something to that effect.

 

I like the threat of physical violence.

 

It worked great for us and b0ron...

 

I come to this site to try and get pumped about the upcoming season.

I'll try again tomorrow.

 

Coaches don't have the power like that in the modern NBA, especially 1st year coaches. I think a Riley, Phil, or Pop can do that bad cop stuff cause they have the cache. Ham's most likely gonna be a cheerleader for our stars. It's gonna be on the players to play better and stay healthy.

 

not must see to me....I'll be watching even less

 

I watched about 5 full live games last season I think. It will probably be zero this season

 

If these guys are healthy, then some of you are going to miss a lot of good hooping then.

 

Well yesterday LVBD stated he hoped we start off (or just whole damn season?) floundering so that Rob gets fired. Nice.

Conversely it will be fun to see how many want to jump back on the bandwagon if we're doing OK and playing a good brand of ball, after declaring they're "out" for the games .... sight unseen.

 

Winning cures all issues

 

I'm just curious...30 games in what's do you consider an acceptable record? I'm thinking 20-10 is a good benchmark

 

If they are winning, I'll watch. If they aren't, and can't put a good product on the floor, the only recourse fans have to help force change is simply to not participate. Don't buy tickets, don't watch games, don't contribute to ratings, don't buy Laker gear, etc.

Players and organization alike should feel the heat after last year.

 

First turnover, first missed shot, first injury = we suck again in Game Time. 1st game. Every damn game.



Yeah 20 -10 wouldn't suck.

 

I'll be watching less irregardless of W/L's.......cannot watch Brick and Troll in PnG, adding shroeder just tip my scale even more so
