Kobe with the death stare.
I can confirm that was Mike Brown. When the time out was called you could see the camera pan out and it gave you an idea of where everyone was or walking to.
Wow if that was really Mike Brown in that video...then I'm going to jump ship to TFMB. I need confirmation or proof that was him...Some kind of evidence...
That look on Kobe's face seriously gave me goosebumps, thats a WHOLE LOT OF RESENTMENT AND DISRESPECT in those eyes. More than I could of ever imagine existed so early into the season...
and More than Enough for me to say the coach has to go...if in fact it was him.
Wow is all I can say. That literally just flipped the entire script in my mind...
You guys are going to have to realize, this dude Brown has NO IDEA what he's doing as a head coach out there.
Even in a blowout game he somehow managed to find himself some heat by putting back the starters.
Honestly, you take the pre-season to realize what your bench rotation should be, not during the season. It's understandable if lets say Duhon has a breakout game as bench scrub and you bump him up to the normal rotation, but this dude has MORRIS out there as a regular rotation!
The playoff run that broke Gasol, he hasn't been the same player since.Only way I will respect Mike Brown is if he does one of these to Pau or any of the players. This dude walks around all smiling because hes the coach of the Lakers thinking he automatically gets respect.
Kobe with the death stare.
Don't know how much longer I can stay aboard the ship Ska... This is looking real bad...
Mike Brown is looking like a big idiot right now.
Jim Buss confident in Mike Brown

After watching the Los Angeles Lakers drop to 1-4 on the season with a 95-86 loss to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, Lakers executive vice president Jim Buss was not a happy man.
Something is not yet right with his star-studded team, and as a competitive guy, Buss is looking for ways to fix it sooner rather than later.
"You don't start 0-3 for the first time since we've owned the franchise without being on top of it," Buss told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "No matter what, you have to be aware. That doesn't mean change is coming. That just means you have to be aware."

But while fans and pundits have placed the blame for the Lakers' early struggles on coach Mike Brown, Buss said he's still very confident in his coach.
"I have no problems with Mike Brown at all," Buss said. "He just works too hard and he's too knowledgeable for this to be happening.
"So either the system is flawed or something's going on. Or, like the Triangle, it's very hard to pick up and understand. I'm not a basketball mind like he is or the players are, and the players are fine with it, so I just have to be patient."
Buss said he has been gauging player reaction to the Lakers' new Princeton offense and Brown's coaching by reading their public comments and talking to them directly. On Tuesday afternoon, he went down from his office to the court during practice to take their temperature, and he said he found things to be rather calm.
"Kobe (Bryant) and I have a relationship where he can just look at me and say, 'Everything's cool,'" Buss said. "So yesterday during practice, I gave Kobe a quick glance, and everything was cool."
Still, in Buss' own words, "this team was built to win now." So just how patient can he be?
"You have to give it time to understand (what's going on)," Buss said. "I don't know if there's an actual game total that would make me impatient. I know if we're 1-15, I don't think that would be very good. I'm sure that would be a panic button. But at this time, I'm fine with what's going on. It's a learning process for the players. As long as everybody is on the same page, I think we're fine."
