Like Pat Riley just sat there, never offering advice to Coach Spo or the players? Really?

Guys, Coach Spo didn’t have a ring either until last season. P. Jackson, IMO, is the greatest coach ever but I think MB will be just fine.

Truth. After the terrible AUDI TV commercial Phil needs to ZEN again.

The LAKERS have done a great job of putting together a team, on paper. Managing those pieces to a championship cannot be overstated. Coach Mike aint got no Rings, the new key pieces aint got no Rings, but their prideful, head-strong future HOFer has a handful. The Buss Family needs to swallow their pride and bring back Phil in an advisory capacity. Phil speaks, everybody listens. Do it now, not mid-season..

With Meeks the LAKERS have a talented sg off the bench to rest Kobe. Also, I’m hoping CDR makes the team…he’s another sg/sf that can give the LAKERS a few minutes.

@eventhorizon, You saying Mike Brown is equal to Phil Jackson? You dont know much about BBall, or management! To break it down for you: Who is talkin is often more important than what is being said!

…….Did you even the article, where it clearly said that Phil Jackson rested Kobe by cutting back his minutes?

So apparently, Kobe is willing to be rested…since it happened 2 years ago, and Kobe didn’t complain.

Ugh. Kobe Bryant could come out tomorrow and say, “I want more rest to be ready for the post-season,” and some people would still type in the comments, “That’s vintage Kobe, he would NEVER accept rest to prepare for the post-season, he’s too tough and driven, suck it haters!”

Lets get real. Mike Brown is not gonna sit Kobe, against his will. Kobe will be trusted to ask for his rests. Coach is just tryin to influence the situation, planting the seed. But minutes-on-the-court will be Kobes decision, and Coach knows that Kobe always plays to win. Kobe will never accept being a well rested loser. Coach Brown has been blessed with a great roster. No more excuses. Good Luck, Coach.
