Yeah, every once in a while we agree!!!

Where we usually don’t is on the solutions to the problems. I am a romantic when looking at sports and I always privilege in my heart to build from scratch (like we did) and hope that organic growth does the trick.

I still have not lost hope in this team and I consider that we have the tools (personnel wise) to be successful provided that J-Smoove accepts his true role.

Right now, I have no doubt in consider him as the disruptive influence hindering our game play. Just look at JJ’s words (which I preferred that it had not been made in public).

He did not protest that he was benched when he was hot, he protested that some players forgot their roles.

In order to be successful, we need Josh, however, we need him to play the kind of basket ball he is suited to play and not the Mr. Hyde we saw yesterday.

Alternatively, we need to trade him at once since I don’t think Josh will respond to any other type of coaching: I believe that Woody balances well the egos and has managed to create a family like environment which slowly has been taking Josh the right direction.

A more disciplinarian coach and someone more vocal in the media (like Larry Brown) would lose him in 5 minutes.

Someone mentioned that Woody does not “coach details” giving the example seen when Josh scrimmaged with Team USA and apparently listened to small corrections made by D’Antoni.

Well, that argument is clearly biased. During media day I liked what I saw from Woody. He intervened often but not enough to disrupt the flow of the drills and I could see that he tried to instill knowledge in several areas of play we typically call details (picks, defensive stances and body positioning, etc…).

If Josh does not listen to Woody, than it’s Josh’s fault, not Woody’s.

With this, I am not saying that Woody is perfect or that he is making a remarkable job, however, from last night’s game, it is clear that on court there was a “Mutiny in the Bounty” and guess who was Fletcher Christian…

Please Calm Down!!!!!

This was the Lakers at home coming off a lose…We have match-up problems on the block, we weren’t going to win.

THE GOOD

JOE Johnson 1st half
Joe screaming at ZAZA
Teague

THE BAD
Marvin
Josh
Al
Zaza
WOOOODY
Bibby missing wide-open jumpshots

If we get blown-out in Portland…I would be concerned.
I believe they will play better in portland, because they have to prove they are a better team…Woody has to prove he is a better COACH!

JSmoove and Marvin didn’t have good shooting nights, but again the turnovers in the 3rd really killed them. JSmoove took to many jumpshots, those are opportunities that he needs to give to Marvin. Smoove should make the extra pass to Marvin or drive on his man. Smoove needs to trust that Marvin will hit the open shot and also know that his role is to get to the basket and draw fouls on the opponents big men.

Didn’t mind the comments from JJ after and during the game, he need to get on Zaza for the bad turnovers!! He also needs to direct a lot of that fustration on himself, he’s got to keep the ball in his hands and make plays during those stretches.

GO HAWKS!!!

Teague is alot faster than i thought -turning the corner for a 3pt play against the super quick Farmar is impressive. Odom ducking his head was priceless i mean he only has a 10 inch height advantage LMAO.

I would like to see Mo get the start as well he just fits better with the first unit. Can we offically bury the Granger vs Marvin debate- i dont even have to go in on this one 1-6 is what im say’n

Ditto GeeMack-Woody is not at fault for this loss, we were competitive until the 3rd qtr meltdown.

I like that line.
