so you're saying you prefer having dan tony as coach over phil? am i correct?

it really is comforting considering that mike dan tony is coaching the team. thinking about phil would have done with this team is just a way to drown the sorrows away of not having him as head coach.

We haven't been good enough to establish big leads so we can buy starters extra resting time. We aren't a deep team, we have some solid bench players but none that can really create shots for themselves or for others effectively. All of them require 1-2 of the 'big 4' be in the game to draw some attention, and even then we are usually out played. That is a big disadvantage in the RS, and also explains why some teams are having a lot of success (Clippers, Spurs). When the playoffs come, our depth won't be as much of a problem, assuming guys are healthy.
So far we haven't been good enough to afford resting our starters a lot. Fans complain about minutes, but if we kept losing the complaints would've been MUCH greater.

There are 2 ways IMO that MDA will stop playing starters heavy minutes:
Not likely -> the FO signs a couple of guys (West, Pietrus for example) and the others really pick their games up (Meeks, Jamison, Duhon/Morris, Hill all become more consistent)
More likely -> as the season progresses and the team gets more practice time and more time on the floor, the main unit gets better and we establish bigger leads in games, allowing our key starters to get some extra rest.

100% on point

yeah the lakers aren't the worst defensive team, they're the 5th worst defensive team. my bad guys, such a huge difference!

this team just won't win with dan tony. i hope i'm proven wrong but it's just so obvious that he is far from the right fit for this team. and i'll continue to mention phil as long as it takes for me to get over how the FO completely blew him off in such a disgusting manner. i won't be getting over it anytime soon

If the Lakers not making 3's, we suck and loss, this team will live and die by 3 balls. We better get used to it.
