Emmanuel Mudiay shouldn't think Byron Scott is a "true head coach"

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

if kobe comes back and shoots over 50% tomorrow will this be byron's first good coaching move in the past decade? 

I think byron deserves some credit if Mudiay has a good show

Russell dating a Kardashian worries me.

And this stupid report that he works too hard? Come on man.
I'm rooting for you Russell but get your **** together.


*Byron still the coach so he'll be okay at best till we get a better coach.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Okafor had 24 pts tonight in a losing effort to the cavs. loll

A much much much much lesser target for 2016, Terrence Ross got a 3 year / $33mil extension. Probably what I would have given over 4, in a worst case scenario of course.

is there a reason why larry nance didnt get any playing time.  I know he broke his nose today, but how come nothing in the first 3 games?

y'all killin me

 

[jiffyl00b]

@lakers29. Nance was listed with knee tendonitis....and along with what the other guys were alluding too, Byron.

 

[mj 23]

D'Lo is becoming distracted from basketball, my mans needs to have his fun but know he has responsibilities on the court

 

[MVP]

We goofed big time. Kid just looks like one of those that the fame would go to his head real quick.

 

[delete1234]

His IG is comedy man. Dudes roasting every pic smh. I hope he balls out

 

[lovehateself]

cant trust a dude who willingly has them cuts in the eyeborows

thanks.  seems silly that every game we have no defense.  and larry nance and anthony brown are suppose to be known as defensive mindset players, yet get no mins.  Byron...smh 

 

[darthska]

Wasn't sold on DLo when we drafted him. Check the draft talk.

HOWEVA...

Not even close to willing to giving up on him after a couple weeks.

Not even CLOSE.

 

[CP1708]

DLo will be fine.

Read the other day, Kobe, Lou, Swaggy, Clarkson, Randle all have higher usage rate that DLo and Huertas.

The 2 true PG's, playin without the ball.

This is like draftin Jason Kidd, and havin Jim Jackson run the offense.

Or to relate it back to Byron, havin Magic Johnson, and run the O thru Byron and Michael Cooper.

Give him the ball, run a non iso heavy offense, use the pick and roll, he'll develop just fine.

DLo 2 man game with Randle, Brown/Swaggy spotted up, Clarkson as an outlet......results will come.
Can switch Hibbert with Randle, Bass, Kelly, etc.

 

[darthska]

Exactly.

Or if that's wrong, we're not going to know after a couple weeks, folks.

 

[CP1708]

I mean, a few short years ago, Warrior fans wanted Steph traded, and Monta Ellis kept.

Remember this fact, and you will considerably lessen your fears about DLo.

You're welcome.

 

[mosk33toe]

DLO won't do anything until his shot starts falling, it is ridiculous how inconsistent it is.

Even with 3 games of tape out teams are just going under the screen and making him shoot that shot, and it isn't falling in.

Right now he isn't getting into the paint, which I don't think is his game anyways, he's not setting anybody up really (partially due to the offense they are playing) and he isn't hitting his shot, which makes him look absolutely horrible.

Until his shot starts falling and people start respecting it, he's going to look bad out there, his once in a generation vision is worthless if people are backing off him and making him shoot, and if we are playing ISO offense.

Sidebar: I was pretty whatever about Bryon Scott coming into the year, and now i'm more on the "yeah he isn't a good coach" however, he's been tasked with a pretty difficult job. You have an aging Megastar in Kobe in maybe his last year, you have basically 3 real assets that all need the ball to be effective, and then you have an abundance of secondary players that on great teams would be amazing. I still don't get his Kelly Bass lineup, but I don't know what coach could really effectively make this team great.

All in all, i'm pretty disappointed in the year so far, but hopefully these guys can just start letting their talent show and we can win a few games off that.

Go Lakers!

 

[fun guy]

3/82 games. We will see this team change more than a few times. Hopefully, most of it will be for the better.

Well while I agree with this and was actually envisioning them trading Clarkson eventually in a few years. I HATE that Dlo is dating a Kardashian and seems like he's worrying about his branding with Nike.

I need him to perform on the court, the brand comes after performing.

*with Byron though this year will be rocky for Dlo. Gonna give him 2-3 years before making any judgements long term.

 

[krazyrodzilla]

 

[mr j 858]

I saw this coming with D'Lo.

I mean how the HATERS and high expectations would be on him this season.

It's just how a big portion of the Laker fan base is. They want immediate results and expect him to be superstar from day 1 because he was the #2 overall pick.

 

[pmatic]

@shahanLA Byron said he plans on sticking with same rotation as previous 3 games tonight vs Denver. Bass will play.
