[EL PRESIDENTE]

Obama's Fault! :MARIS61:

 

[ebott]

Yipes, five games in and the guy gets canned. Bummer.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

They're gonna hire Nate.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think so. And honestly, it might be the right answer. Let K*be chuck, slow down the game, get some LMA-type J's from Gasol and tell D-Ho to just focus on D. Ron Ron and Blanky camp in the corner.

Though, I'm not sure how the White Team's going to play.

 

[THE HCP]

Chris Broussard said don't be surprised if Nate gets the job in LA!

 

[THE HCP]

Oh, the Homer guy beat me to it.

 

[<-=*PdX*=->]

Dwight Howard: The Cleaner.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

They're gonna hire Nate.

Yup. Bickerstaff is already on staff and Kobe bonded him on Team USA.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nate is the perfect guy for the L*kers. ISO for Kobe, and a vet team that he can't ruin

 

[BBert]

Agreed. Some of us have been saying it all season. All two weeks of it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[THE HCP]

What about bringing back Brian Shaw?

 

[Mediocre Man]

What about bringing back Brian Shaw?

That's who the players wanted.

 

[illmatic99]

It would give me great pleasure to see them hire Nate. Steve Blake will start at PG.

Oh and there's more drama down in LA:

Mike Bresnahan @Mike_Bresnahan

Lakers forward Devin Ebanks arrested on suspicion of DUI this morning in Los Angeles, The Times has learned.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Why would you hire Nate if you just fired his clone? Go for D'Antoni, and acknowledge that Nash is more important than Kobe!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Phil Jackson is trending on Twitter more than Mike Brown!

(As are Brian Shaw and Jerry Sloan.)

 

[chris_in_pdx]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[ABM]

Nate is the perfect guy for the L*kers. ISO for Kobe, and a vet team that he can't ruin

...and replete with the new term, "Slowtime!"

 

[THE HCP]

Nate is 10X the coach Mike Brown is whether you like him or not!

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Oh, the Homer guy beat me to it.

Too slow you damn veteran!

 

[illmatic99]

How awesome would it be if they hire SVG?

 

[THE HCP]

Too slow you damn veteran!

Wife and kids are at Great Wolf Lodge up in Washington...... I was at work til midnight last night.....the vet was sleepin' in like a motherfucker!

 

[THE HCP]

Kobe= Player/Coach

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Damn I was hoping he'd stay on until the All Star Break!

 

[Natebishop3]

This is awesome.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Tweets:

It's easier to fire a coach who's 1-4 and 1-14 in his last 15 games than one who looks like he's turning the ship around.

Chorus for Brian Shaw. He'd run the Triangle. Hard to imagine that redux on Jim Buss' watch. And, no, Phil is not in the picture.

 

[BBert]

...and replete with the new term, "Slowtime!"

 

[Natebishop3]

They're going to hire Nate and NOTHING will change hahaha

 

[BlazerCaravan]

They're going to hire Nate and NOTHING will change hahaha

Except he'll start Blake.
