LA Lakers


Recommended Posts

 

I prefer Vogel over Kidd. Vogel is a good defensive-minded coach turning the Pacers into one of the best defensive team in the league a couple of years ago. Among the coaches interviewed, IMHO he's the best fit for the Lakers. I even prefer him over Ty Lue.

Frank's an old school coach that's big man centered.

His style has passed him by.

That's why he couldn't duplicate what he has with Hibbert from the "NEW" stretch bigs in Orlando.

 

He'd be perfect though for AD.

But they won't go far with his style in the play offs

Kapal naman ni Lebron! Jerry West is a million percent more deserving than him for a spot on the Lakers' Mt. Rushmore

Well, I won't argue with you here. The four other guys won multiple championships with the Lakers. In his lone season with the Lakers, he didn't even qualify for the playoffs.

Well first of all Orlando is in rebuild and tanking mode when he got there. No f*cking way he can duplicate his success with that kind of roster and management mentality. I want to remind you when Vogel took over coaching job in Indiana, the Pacers was a below average team. While I agree that Hibbert was the main rim protector, the Pacers was also good in perimeter defense and clogging passing lanes. Good defense is always about having a good overall system. The glaring weakness was their offense which can be attributed to losing Danny Granger to injuries. Roy Hibbert also had his weird psychological breakdowns where he had ridiculous 0 points 0 rebounds games. Despite of this, they were able to make deep playoff runs.

He'd be perfect for AD but you're scratching off the Lakers in the playoffs this early? I think your statement is premature.

 

AD is a different animal. He can protect the rim at the same time guard small quicker players at the perimeter which is essential nowadays.

Will Robie anong masasabi mo dito? Cough cough Larry Bird ...

Tinawanan ko lang yung post na yan. I didn't even care to comment but since you asked me, Larry never had to go to another team to win a championship. That's only one factor. I can go on and on and on and I am pretty sure I will come out on top in this Larry vs. Lechoke argument. Any takers? :lol:

There's always a grey area when it comes to the question who is the GOAT. Michael Jordan said it best. He feels that it is a disrespect to the other great players to claim the GOAT title since he had not played in the 60s and 70s. I think this applies to Bird and James. We can't really say who is better since we never saw them play together.

Good point but I would still put Bird over James as the greatest small forward ever but I won't elaborate unless I am asked.

 

Lebron might even overtake Kareem's scoring total. This is because Lebron never had any serious injury in his career except last year. Now if Lebron played in the 80s like Bird against the bad boys Pistons, could he have played same no. of games injury free?

Good point, padre. Another good question would be, would James have taken the extreme physicality of the "Bad Boys"?

Poor Cousins nagpapayat pa naman sya paramas gumaan katawan and mag reduce ng injury. I hope he gets back come playoff time and provides a good solid 15-20 min bench rotation. Pero i play fantasy bball back when he was at NO and I think hes really not that good of a fit with AD ( maybe cause he plays a slow back to the basket pace ). Im not 100% with Howard pero I saw an interview na in this stage of his career gusto lang nya maging Ala Draymond Green and help the team all around. However injury prone din si Howard eh. I think they need someome whos not too young but still hungry.

They should not have traded Zubac

 

I agree with you. It was really a dumb trade with the Clippers but assuming they didn't trade Zubac mid season they would have probably traded him off-season to clear cap space for another potential max contract player.
