I have no problems with Mike Brown at all," Buss said. "He just works too hard and he's too knowledgeable for this to be happening.

Brown...knowledgeable? Really?

So either the system is flawed or something's going on.

Both the offense and the coach is flawed.

I know if we're 1-15, I don't think that would be very good. I'm sure that would be a panic button. But at this time, I'm fine with what's going on. It's a learning process for the players.

Wrong. Pre-season was learning time. It's now time to take in what we've learned (which seemed like nothing as far as rotations and coaching goes) and play with some heart and determination.

I'm not a basketball mind like he is or the players are, and the players are fine with it, so I just have to be patient.

Brown does not have a basketball mind. And I'm not too sure if the players are really "fine" with it after their performance tonight. They played with no passion, had poor body languages and that Mamba stare says it all.

Kobe Bryant - G - Lakers
During Wednesday's game Kobe Bryant was visibly frustrated, at one point staring down coach Mike Brown when he was taken out of the game in the 4th quarter.
This is the first time in Kobe's Lakers career that he's fallen to 1-4 and his ailing injury is obviously doing him no favors. While Brown has said he intends to monitor Kobe's minutes, he may think twice before leaving the star out of the last minutes of crunch time.

But I also agree that he doesn't seem to have that intuitive coaching gene, that common sense to know what to do and/or when to do it. It just seems to be missing with him.

Kobe at the end of his career, the amount of talent we have (and brought in), and the front office thinks Mike Brown is the right guy for this job. If we had Phil Jackson right now, a title would be as close to a lock as a title could be...but with Mike Brown we look like a 2nd tier team.

I dont get that at all, I dont see to many HC press conference but the one thing I do notice is Brown consistency with "box-score" reading. He is the only HC I've ever notice that has the box-score in hand and incesently goes to it when asked a question. So rather then speak of changes to game play he explains the teams deficiency with box-score reading and just regurgitate the same stale cliches statement such as we gota make shots, we gota get less TO and he'll read off his box score bout who has how many TO, etc.

But like LJ said, he doesn't know how to coach. A librarian may know all there is to know about written text, that doesn't mean they know how to write.

I believe the word is "intuitive"...on in layman's terms "common sense"?
