What has D'Antoni done in NY?

I think Mike Brown has a bunch of unproven assistant coaches under his staff.  Bernie Bickerstaff never won anything.  Eddie Jordan's Princeton offense never won him anything in Philly nor Washington.  Princeton offense never won in college, how can they expect it to be successful in the Pro?  Heck Princeton don't even run Princeton offense.

From the few games I noticed, this is the only offense that don't utilize each player's strength.  YMCA recreational offense probably would look better than the Princeton.

Kobe makes any offense into an one-on-five-offense - When Kobe gets frustrated, he'll start taking matters into his own hand, and ignore any scheme and teammates.  But he can't do what he used to do with his age and lost of atheleticism.

Gasol is completely lost since Brown got here.  What a completely waste of an all around talent.  Mind as well trade him to get some players that Brown uses.

Mike Brown should thank one person and one person only: Lebron.  Lebron went to the finals with the a bunch of players that no one can remember or name.  clearly a more inferior squad than the current Lakers' squad.

If LA would fire the entire coaching staff, who else can they replace with?  With Kobe, not sure any other coach would thrive. Mike D'antoni?  Jerry Sloan?  Larry Brown?  Flip Saunder? the Van Gundy Brothers?  Get Phil Jackson out of retirement, but not even Phil can make Kobe buy in 100%.

I thought the folks that planned the Romney's concede speech didn't do a good job.  So "You're-no-longer-needed, now-get-moving."

Unlike GW Bush, Romney's such a successful businessman, I thought when he speaks, people listen.  He's filthy rich, probably sneaky too, but that's good in a leader.  Hope Obama does sit down with him, work with him, and let him help dig us out of this deep deficit.

Hope Hurricane Sandy comes and goes peacefully, and for those affected be vigilant.

it seems whenever you turn on the News, there are children missing, abused, or even killed.  Perhaps I am a parent now, it makes me extremely upset when I see these type of news.  We should have a tougher law on crime against kids so to make these criminals think twice before they lay their hands on defenseless children.  Even if the criminals are teenagers or juveniles themselves.

He should trademark that.

pretty nice little program, will try to post something up.

to lose two 7 footers for one is not worth it, who is Al Harrington?

Not sure what type of animal it is, my initial thought was stray cats.  However, the poops are on white pebble stones, not covered, as I searched thru the web, others suggests might be racoons.  I don't have any pets, nor ponds, I am puzzled what animal uses my yard as toilet?  I really want them gone.

Tried pouring frangrances, clorox, lemon slices, but the critter still poops there, very annoying.  Any organic suggestions?

Nash is nice, can shoot, can create for others.  Not sure if Kobe will allow Nash to hold the ball for a long time tho.

Yesterday at grocery store at check out, the lady cashier and the guy in front of me had a conversation:

Casher: Do you know what is the score?

Guy: 4-1, still got a quarter to go.

Cashier: oh~~~ wish the game ends now.

Guy: I know.

Geez, these bandwagoners who were probably never saw a King's game before this year, probably still can't name a single player on the team, all of sudden thinking talking about Kings is cool.  Like they are die hard hockey fans...

Jim Buss?

LA is still much more convenient.

flight was quite bumpy, rental car place had a little problem, rainy, GPS didn't work quite well...

for two weeks.  Not sure if I can make it on sandwiches along, got to find me some good Chinese food places.

Luke Walton and Fisher are gone, finally.

It's been some time since Bryant controlled the offense to this extreme extent.  He is the runaway league leader in shots attempted (23.7 field goals per game, second to Kevin Durant's 19.6), partly because of a serious increase in minutes played (38.2 minutes per this season compared 33.9 last season). Still, his portion of the offensive load is nearly the same as Gasol and Bynum combined (23.8 field goals per game).

Can someone tell Kobe to play team ball? Less iso, and more ball movement?  Well, I guess not even Phil Jackson can, so obviously can't expect Mike Brown and his coaching staff to make that happen.

My G5 has been toasted for a long time, so have not been doing any drawings lately.  Finally got an iMac.  Man this Mac is so good, and fast (not used to this kind of speed), the LCD is beautiful.  Need to catch up on all the Lion features tho, was still stuck on the Power PC technology. Hope to draw more and utilize the Mac more.

I am so glad to see Jeremy Lin doing so well in the league and for the Knicks.  Sheesh, His GPA in HS was 4.2. I wonder what kind of GPA does guys like Derrick Rose or Lebron get when they were in HS while being pampered and treated like royalties.

Kobe the ball hog shoots too much.  When he get's the ball, everybody knows they are not going to get the ball back, and just step back and watch mamba dribble and jack up the shot.  This clearly throws off his teammates' shooting percentages.
