    Congrats Mike D.


    Next step for the Lakers is to fire the bumbling ass Jim Buss.

    D'Antoni on Nash: "I tried coaching without him and that didn't go too well."

    How the hell does D'Antoni get hired and does not have to show up for work for almost a week?
    Also, we hate Jimmy Buss. I'd rather Jeannie ran the team.

    It's a process. Like everything in life. It takes an absurd amount of time to do anything when it comes to verification and paper work. We are talking millions of dollars here. This isn't some little league team where you can just raise your hand and start today.

    More than likely it has to do with him walking on crutches after knee replacement surgery.

    Doubt it. It always takes about a week to get a coach replaced. That is just par for the course when it comes to hiring in the NBA. As a Laker fan you probably are not use to coaches getting fired and hiring new guys lol. This is how it always goes down.

    haha you're probably right, I thought they could do that stuff from almost day to day just like they can fire day to day.

    D'Antoni to coach today, pending "energy level".



    Does that mean if it's 65 he won't coach, but if it's 85 or above he will?

    Also where can I buy an energy level meter? Sounds like a great X-Mas present.

    With D'Antoni at the helm defensive cone of the year is Dwight Howard's to lose.

    Lakers lose to a lowly team. Strike 1 against Mike D'Antoni.
