Nice, now we get to see if its actually possible to win a title with Dantoni's system

I always thought he got a bad rap for not winning one with the Suns- his system inflates player's stats and made it hard for the

Suns and their cheap-ass owner to keep their best players. IMO you need to give Dantoni a good PG surrounded by quality defenders and let him do his thing with the offense.

To be fair thatlookseasy, he didnt fare much better in NY.

This helps guys like Nash and Kobe out tremendously. The Lakers will put up points now, question is, when they get in dogfights in the playoffs, will they be able to stop anybody? Offense wins regular season games, defense wins championships.

Also it should be noted, PHIL TURNED THIS JOB DOWN. The media is spinning it that his demands were too high, but I dont buy that. Dude has 11 rings, loads of cash, and is ailing, he didnt need this and has nothing to prove. I think the Lakers only inquired about him because of the fans, I dont think LA's front office particularly likes or wants to deal with Phil anymore.

      4th and 1 Throwaway

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      The gameplan was terrible and I think they fugged him mentally instead of doing what worked to get him in a comfort zone like he was the end of last year. It was clear they were playing not to lose the game instead of win the game and Canales was much too intent on forcing the run game instead of getting the offense in a groove. You could see it from the start: take the play clock down, run the ball, shorten the game, throw on 3rd down when you have to. But you can’t go a whole game relying on converting 3rd downs 6 times per drive or whatever. Every single first down took 3 full downs. I remember the first time we actually got a run for a first down, on first down (the Rico Dowdle run) the refs gave us a terrible spot and made it a 2nd and 1 instead, and then we snap the ball again at 0 and run the most predictable run play in the history of mankind and lose 2 yards now we’re back to a 3rd and 3 or 4 or whatever it was at that point. It’s not sustainable. He’s so concerned about protecting the ball but doesn’t seem to realize we’ll never win the turnover battle because we have a defense that doesn’t generate turnovers and an offense that doesn’t keep the defense honest. A knee to go into half time down 17 with 1 second on the clock? Come the fug on. That crap mentality has infected this team. The Jags went for it on 4th and 1 from their own 40 on the first possession of the game and it set the tone for the rest of the game. Why did they go back to what clearly didn’t work with Bryce and abandon what worked at the end of last season. Stop trying to force poo and play the game that’s in front of you.

      Watching 2024 week 1 Cannales Presser again

      I mean most of these press conferences by losing coaches sound the same. They made more plays, missed opportunities, gotta get off the field on 3rd down, etc.
