Yep I agree. That was so embarassingly stupid on the Pelicans' part that I'll chalk it up to a good call on Pringles part for exploiting them.

Definitely something you throw at a young team. :man10:

If he had tried that against San Antonio there's not a chance in hell that works.

ill give him credit on that inbounds play. that was pretty clever and fooled me for a quick second. we should try it again if need be just run fast than them and set a screen or something before the inbounds.

besides that i do think hes an idiot. his ability to coach D is beyond terrible. and even worse to coach this talent. pretty sure the other guys are gunna listen to kobe nash or dwight over him anyways.

in that possession where dwight got the huge block on sideshow bob...he didnt even try to call timeout...it was kobe who was smart enough to call it to get dwight out of the game. he was just gunna let them bring it up court and let them foul it seems. just stupid bc if kobe didnt do that dwight prob would have missed both FT's and that awesome inbounds play would never have happened. cant believe he didnt even try to call it bc i was screaming to call it quickly and he didnt try and not a single assistant coach even got up to try to call it.

idk if the rules are only a player can call it at that time or something but if not than hes an idiot and kobe bailed him out

^ Also down the stretch, Kobe and Dwight each ran the huddle during timeouts. Sometimes I'm not sure if D'Antoni understands the point of timeouts

He knows when to call them, but once the players get over there I'm not sure he tells them anything. :man10:

Nor can the Lakers get blamed for always making the right decisions over decades. At some point its not just luck or "gamble", its superior management and superior ownership.

New Orleans IS a real NBA team. Just because they're young doesn't mean they can't win a game. They've got some legitimate young talent over there.

There's only a handful of teams that aren't "real NBA" teams in the history of the league. The most recent was that Cleveland team that was basically all D-Leaguers because of injuries.

Whilst last nights game was a lot of fun to watch in the second half, I just cringe at how much this team relies on the 3-ball. Really the only guy that gets into the paint is Kobe, and even then, unless he sets up Dwight or makes a bucket, its a 3 going up.

an open shot is an open shot at the end of the day, its not like we're the Warriors and Rockets who just come down the floor and jack up shots, our 3s are generated from the doubles Dwight, Kobe and Nash generate. Simple basketball really

I agree. But it seems the inside out game doesn't work in todays era anymore.

The 3 pointer, transition basketball and the P&R dominate about 95% of all offenses. The 3 ball is just too effective if you have an offense that creates open shots. Isolations are also an option, but only few teams can afford them or have a player that can exploit his defender consistently. Unfortunetly mid-range game and post play are the odd man out. Obviously its very tough to accumulate enough talent to master all those areas.

It seems athletes are dime a dozen and 3 point shooters are "cheap". You look at the great midrange shooters (Kobe, Melo, Paul etc.) and they are expensive and rare. So naturally teams gravitate to the other end of the spectrum....players that can defend, play full court pressure and run...and guys that have a quick and accurate release. Its not as much fun to watch.

I read that they were a .500 team since Gordon came back (12-12), before losing to us.

They've beaten teams like the Spurs and the Celtics.. I don't think saying "they aren't a real NBA team" is warranted at all..

The other day I read a tweet that said because of the way they've been playing at home of late, losses on the road against teams like the Wizards, the Hornets or the Cavs shouldn't really be considered baaad losses, and I agree.

i have a feeling that's because the clippers took a page out of the 08-09 and 09-10 lakers book and played down to a lesser opponent
