You guys are snowballing off each other.
Kobe doesn't respect MDA? Kobe wore number 8 because of that ************, what are you talkin about?![Laugh :lol: :lol:](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/laugh.gif)
LTB, when you mention showing you something on Offense, how many times out of a timeout do the Lakers get a basket? Happens ALL the time.
How many times Phil call some stupid nonsense play that did nothing out of a timeout?![Laugh :lol: :lol:](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/laugh.gif)
As for Kobe telling Pau to ignore the coach, and? That happens ALL THE TIME. The players play. Coaches command, deserve, and get respect, sure, but in the fire, the players have to figure something out. Spolestra is a very very smart dude, think he calls every set? Hell no. He puts the system in place, teaches it, preaches it, and then the players do their jobs. Pretty sure that job does not include 90 foot alley oops, or behind the back lobs, or fadeaway 3's over 2 defenders. The players have a measure of creativity they need to adapt to a defensive player/system.
Kobe/MJ/Shaq/Pip all ignored Phil on certain plays, calls, moments.
Kenny Smith just spoke the other night about Rudy giving this big speech, all these items on the eraseboard, step by step, and as soon as the game was about to start, Dream would pull Kenny aside and say ignore all that stuff for 4-5 plays and just feed Hakeem so he could set the tone, then we can run all those plays.
Those are HOF, Title winning coaches, players ignoring to do what THEY feel is best on the court. And that's what Kobe was doing with Pau. The STRENGTH of those coaches is seeing their players may be right, adapting to how they feel, and adjusting themselves within it. Phil did, Rudy did, MDA needs to.
Don't mean he's on their level, of course he isn't, but simply mentioning that player(s) ignore the coach on some plays is not an issue whatsoever.
Again, let the series play out, we can review and go over his performance after the year is done. He's up against it right now, we need the ghosts of Steve Kerr, Reggie Miller, Del Curry, Dale Ellis to enter into our guys tonight. Otherwise it will be Pau/Dwight on 5 all night long. And that won't work.
