Maybe if you noticed that no one wants your injured Jameer Nelson, then people might stop rejecting your trades.
VS so dumb. Like Morph.
The thought of it is awesomely awesome, but I think Lakers management are going to stick with Princeton offense now and in the foreseeable future, so bringing D’Antoni in would mean revamping everything from the ground up and, if it’s even possible, suck even more on defense.
But on the topic of coaches and Princeton offense, I’ve been thinking that Rick Adelman is the perfect fit for the Lakers if he wasn’t on the T’pups already. People tend to forget that he ran a Princeton offense to perfection during Sac’s golden years with Vlade, Webber, Peja and Bibby. (and it was super exciting to watch)
Even now though I believe their offense will come along, they have too talented of a roster to not score every night even with an offensively-inept Mike Brown as the coach. The real problem is still their defense.
I’m not totally against Princeton, but Dwight and Nash on offense are too explosive to confine to half court sets. It’s the same reason why Sessions became useless for the couple months that he was on the team. Princeton sounds like an idea somebody thought up when slower, back-to-the-basket Bynum was still there.
Lakers’ offense will come together, but Mike Brown is still a scrub and please go away.
I’m not totally against Princeton either, like Kobe said if Princeton offense is supposed to help scrubby players, think what would happen if you replace them with good players. That’s the logic I guess and indeed the potential is there.
It’s just that they have the totally wrong coach to run it.
Metta’s 3 at the end of game 7 in 2010 finals was pretty hype though if only for his post game comments where he could sense Phil thinking “NOOO, don’t shoot it!” but he did anyway.
He was writhing in pain on the floor for a long time. Couldn’t put weight on his foot and had to be helped off. Raptor season over, see y’all next year.
