Funny thing is that with Howard, Gasol and Hill all sidelined indefinately Antoni will be forced to field a small lineup his offense is made for.

Only the Lakers dont have the necessary parts.

I cannot believe how this season is turning out. Just hope Dwight finally gets 100% now.. & IF we make the playoffs we'll be scary. Just because that will mean we figured things out because we have too get on a roll to even make the playoffs.

My god get Kobe some help. He is the only one that even tries (other than maybe Earl Clark).

Also, I really don't care if Dwight leaves. He's not even that good.

How much more help does Kobe need? He's got a lineup full of all stars and a former All star in Antwan Jamison. The Lakers and Heat are the dream teams of the league

6 straight losses for the Lake Show. Thats how many games Mike Brown was given at the beginning of the season before he was scapegoated and fired. Is he still the problem? Is it time to fire D'Antoni? Brown was NEVER the problem. But at least he's laughing all the way to the bank cashing those Buss family checks for free!!!

This is a good lesson for the younger Buss to learn.

Let Kupchak run the BBall side.

Meanwhile, keep signing those checks. I cant imagine Antonni will be retained next year so he may be writing checks to 3 HCs at once!

Don't they owe Brown another year of salary? I know the Buss' are paid, but damn can they eat D'Antoni's salary too? He's got like 3 years left on his deal. Thats alot of bread to be paying coaches who dont work for you and go out and pay somebody else.

I guess it depends if they want to win, clearly Antonni does not fit the style of this roster.

Of course the roster will probably be much different next year, no way Howard re-signs for this, so the Lakers will have his salary space to spend.

Then it would not surprise me if Kobe demands a trade. The more the losses mount up, the uglier this is going to get.

The fans late in games are already booing Buss when he is shown and chanting "We want Phil". lol

Dr. Jerry Buss may have to do a JR and bitch slap his son out of his ownership position.

Yeah. We owe Brown 11 Million, D'Antoni 12 Million.

23 million between to two, + another coach. Ha! Good going Jim Buss you dumbass.

The Lakers are a huge embarrassment. All the players, coaches and management involved should be ashamed.

I would agree.

Lakers looked good tonight with a lineup of Nash, Kobe, MWP, Clark, Howard. We just look so much better without Clark and it looks like Howard is starting to get healthier... that or the rest really just helped him. I LOVED the way that the Lakers shared the ball today. Granted this blowout was against the Cavs, but a win is a win and blowing out any NBA team is no easy feat.
