^ok lets get down to the root of this The_Jamal, are you related to Keith Smart?

Bologna. All I hear out of the "non-moron" fans is how terrible Smart is at life. It would not matter if Phil Jackson or Greg Pop were coaching for us tonight. We aren't going to win when we're our core offensive scorers are 4-24 combined

Who in their right mind would think IT/Jimmer/Reke/Outlaw could defend the Spurs? Who in their right mind would put Jimmer on Manu. Who in their right mind when the momentum has swung and we were down and SA was getting any shot they wanted, would bring in an IT/Jimmer backcourt? Who in their right mind wouldn't have Chuck in there instead of Outlaw at PF?

Yeah we missed shots, but our coach is in no way putting this team in the best position to succeed.

I do not subscribe to all the Smart hate going on, but I do have to acknowledge the fact that even having a lineup of IT, Reke, Brooks, Cisco and Outlaw ON THE FLOOR is arguably the biggest reason why we're losing.

Lucky you, then.

You are missing some of the best posts....

edit: I do have that one fool "Cuad" ignored, so if he is the one swaying your opinion I understand.

No, what you hear is how terrible he is at managing roles/playing time/rotations, which he is. And those things have a huge impact on how individual players and their teams perform. Most of us don't give a flying ^&*% how much he sucks at life.

ok, the fact that you are still defending Smart to this level, means something has got to be going on behind the scenes. either your related to Smart, or your being payed by the Maloofs to help cover up the fact they are trying to tank this team to make relocation easier

And the starters did nothing when they got back into the game. Smart's rotations absolutely need to improve. Reke, Cousins, and IT should have been in the game 2 minutes sooner than they were. But I refuse to blame Smart when we're losing this game because no one on the damn team can make a jumper

**kingjatt** · 11-09-2012, 08:18 PM

MT, Reke and Cuz, our 3 best players, were not on the floor together the entire 1st half.

**rainmaker** · 11-09-2012, 08:18 PM

Was Mike Brown just canned because the Lakers were simply missing shots? Is that how it works? No further analysis needed?

You're stepping very close to the line on the "don't be a jerk" and/or "don't insult other posters" rule. You can find ways to disagree without venturing into personal insults, etc.

**HereWeVivek** · 11-09-2012, 08:19 PM

any other NBA coach in the league would have this team at probably 4-1 right now. being that they ALL have a decent concept of how to manage a rotation. even Mike Brown

Mike Brown was canned because the Lakers are 1-4.

I agree. Which is funny because everyone decided to jump down my throat. But Smart's not the sole reason we're sucking tonight. We're right back in this game if the atrocious shooting picks up

Nah, they have been planning it since the offseason. That's why they hired Theus as their D-League coach... so they could bring him up after they found a way to get rid of Brown!! We learned first hand how wonderful Theus is, so don't go and try to poke any hole is my theory!!!!

then explain how they won the first quarter. even though none of them can make shots?

lol sorry. i thought it was obvious that i was joking, since both of those scenarios are very far fetched

It goes much deeper than that.

and after tonight they will probably be 2-4 and have beat the EXACT SAME 2 teams that the Kings have beat. so why is Smarts job so safe?

Mike Brown was fired because the Lakers are held to an incredibly high standard this season. They cannot afford slow starts or waiting to start winning
