The smart move was to fire the coach early enough to right he ship…unlike the idiot Red Sox who foolishly hung on to Booby Valentine all of last season. As usual, LA proves smarter than Boston…and Pudhummer53 proves to be the dumbest of all.

“You guys talk and most of the stuff is wrong.” Why do I get the impression D’Antoni was looking at Helin when he said that? And then Helin goes ahead and proves D’Antoni’s point by posting this “article.”

I agree 100%! I try not to go there, because what’s the point? That ship has sailed. But when I read STUPID articles like this, I want to just SCREAM out the real problem. Jim Buss is an idiot, who doesn’t know basketball and hired the wrong coach (again), when there was a great coach out there that everyone knows would have this team running like a well oiled machine! Arghhh!

Until they figure it out when Nash comes back, he could be better suited coming off the bench. Start Jamison (who’s working well in D’Antoni’s system) and give him minutes as the only big man on the court while limiting his and Dwight’s minutes together.

Pau is still an effective player: IN THE POST, he is still the most skilled big man in the League: IN THE POST he could still average 18 a game: IN THE POST. the lakers won two championships with pau playing where? IN THE POST!!! He was played out of position last year and he’s being played put of position this year!!!

@paulhargis53
I don’t think them firing MB, was them hitting the panic button. I think Jim Buss ( as arrogant and ignorant as he is) would have let MB try to figure things out( because he is the 1 that hired MB)although, all the signs are their telling you that you made a mistake and hired the wrong guy. But Dr. Buss stepped in and said ENOUGH!!!! I am rambling on now but my point is, them firing MB wasn’t them “hitting the panic button”. It was simply fixing up, what Jimbo had f**ked up!!!!

Pau Gasol was not the reason that the Lakers lost last night on a last second play. The Lakers lost the game because of their ignorant coach Dumbtoni not having a proper game plan ready for the team to execute, nor the leadership skills to inspire the team to play it’s best. Dumbtoni is a liar if he says that he wants to fit Pau into his loser system, so far Dumbtoni hasn’t done anything to help get Gasol scoring opportunities or plays to make him feel good about playing.

Kurt you just don’t seem to understand Laker fans, we want to keep Pau and we want to get rid of that worthless excuse for a Laker coach Dumbtoni. We Laker fans want Phil Jackson as the coach and we want that little idiot buss boy fired and replaced by Jeanie Buss, the intelligent sibling.

If the Lakers should trade someone they should trade away Steve Flake and bring in a great young point guard who can play defense, Ancient Nash sure won’t.

Fire Dumbtoni!!! Fire the little idiot buss boy!!!

I agree with waiting for Nash to come back before trading Gasol. Gasol has skills. See Olympics a few months ago

Lakers would be insane to trade Gasol. Trade him for who?

The people trying to blame Pau are stupid.

Blame Buss. Phil would have this roster functioning. D’Antoni does not.

Everybody needs too CHILL the F**K OUT!!!!! Pau Gasol is the most Skilled 7 footer in the LEAGUE!!! He will find his place in this offense. Let’s not judge this offense until we get Nash back. We have Chris duhon in their right now. NUFF SAID!!!! All of these people acting like we should just trade Pau for a shooter???? Are IDIOTS!!!!! You dont trade BIG for small. You don’t get rid of a guy who can play the 4 and the 5 and fill the stat sheet up like Pau can for a shooter. Not a smart move. Still early and I for 1 am not ready too hit any panic button yet. JUST SAYING!!!!!!
