That's my own opinion which I didn't get from espn. I didn't think that mike brown was a good fit for the lakers when he got there. He'll probably get a pass because of the shortened season, but even with a full season, I don't think it'll be any better. This was not the season to try and implement new defensive and offensive schemes...teams barely had a chance to practice.
Then they. Got rid of Fisher, bad decision; but even worse he goes to OKC. (although that decision may not be on mike brown). Instead of Blake taking that 3 pointer to win the game it should have been Fisher.....

Buyers Remorse..... I think that when they got mike brown he was the best option at that time....not to say he's a bad coach....I dont believe he's a fit for the lakers. [IMHO]

OKC has their work cut out for them now.

They picked him specifically because they wanted a new scheme. If they wanted the same scheme they would have stuck with the triangle and promoted Brian Shaw.

Also this wasn't just a management decision. The team was starting to bitch about the triangle. They had a team with no bench and they didn't get any better since last season. Anyone who thought this team was going to make a deep run wasn't paying attention to how many minutes Kobe had been playing and his terrible stats.

Here we go again,not even trying to hide it this time

I ing hate Psycho T. But love Granger, West, Hibbert, Collison, The Brazilian Blur.

I am neutral about the Heat beacuse it contains a half a dozen players that I have always loved, White Chocolate Mike Miller, UD40, J. Anthony, Shane Battier, J. Howard. Those are all hustle guys who have really earned their spots in the NBA.


There are some great players to cheer for in this series.

Didn't know you could Lex luger people in the head and still stay in the game gj Hasbum

Mike Miller is not white chocolate. Jason Williams was white chocolate.

Jason Williams was replace by Mike Miller.

Although it reminds me of the black jason williams who broke half his body in a cycle accident that ruined his career.

I'm feeling sorry ahead of time for all the shit Boston is gonna deal with, advanced is gonna be on suicide watch. I can picture Kg with 3 fouls in the 1st q every game from all the flopping his screens are gonna cause.

Come on now, the C's are fairly shitty also. They flop with the best of them, KG hasnt figured out how to set a legal screen in 10 years, The Truth flies about like he has been shot in the chest every jump shot.

Its going to be a pretty shitty series because both teams are the leagues BFFs

Heat played like they want it. Both OKC and the Heat should fear the Spurs. Spurs have a well rounded team. But we shall see.

Those Heat players are pretty classy.

Picked the spurs over OKC. But I'm wondering if the spurs can keep up with OKC's youth....especially in transition.

It will be a good series, the bigger question is can the East beat the West?

What the hell happened to Wade's face? Dude looks deformed.

Just going to put it out there that GH causes your bones to grow, and in areas like your face... well.

I'm not crazy, right? His jaw looks ... not how it used to when he came into the league.

Watching a SportsCenter commercial with Wade in it is what led me to wonder about this. That commercial's got to be at least 5 years old, and his face just... didn't look like it does in the pic I posted. Maybe he just wears his weight strangely, I dunno.

You don't think I'm already on suicide watch?!?! Thanks for the credit!

This Sixers series is giving me headaches. If Bosh is out for the next round, I'm not too worried about our chances.

That's two guys! I've never seen Pavlovic or Daniels flop! Can't flop from the bench! Fixed it for ya too!

I wouldn't agree with your last statement, but since I'm a diehard Celtics fan, I really can't deny it, with proof, either. I will say June 17th 2010, but hey, that's just one game, right?

I hope the Pacers push the Heat to 7 so the Celtics get another day of rest for them old bones. (That's right, KG, I said it. Now go hang 25 and 12 on the Sixers tonight and close them out.)

Edit: These pain meds I'm on right now is making me playful. Gotta love modern medicine and having kidney stones.

There is only really 1 hated guy on the Heat in Bron Bron by everyone dumps on the entire team....C's get the same treatment. 2 floppers means the whole team gets dumped on.

Jerry Sloan wants to coach again. Interested in the Bobcats and Magic.

Great coach, but I'd rather the Magic get someone younger. Maybe Nate MacMillan.

I can't believe that Haslem got suspended for one game. Now Pittaman he got suspended for 3 games, and I know that's appropriate. But Haslem's foul didn't even draw any blood, Hansbrough wasn't injured, he got hit on the arm and was knocked down. The only good thing is that if anyone from the Heat our Pacers try to get physical then the league will probably come down hard on them.
