I was just listening in my car about him talking about the cliches they had on the championship run. He said he ran the big guys and Kobe ran the guards. Guys would go off and do their own thing outside of the game, but when 7 PM rolls around be ready to play.

Frank Vogel sets defensive tone for Lakers in 'physical' first practice
www.espn.com
I have to admit I like to hear this, the team was terrible on defense last year. Guys were not buying into defense, no matter what anyways says defense wins championships. Look at the Pistons in 04 and the Celtics run by Doc. NIce to hear that Howard is playing hard and tough, make sure you keep that same energy when facing the opponents big man.
Again by no means a LeBron fan but I will try and go in with an open mind this year at least until he goes back to his normal behavior passing the blame.
Lakers 'play physical' as Vogel preaches defense
First-year Lakers coach Frank Vogel wanted to set a defensive tone for his new players in their first practice of training camp.
Again by no means a LeBron fan but I will try and go in with an open mind this year at least until he goes back to his normal behavior passing the blame.

What I don't like about the top video I either missed or didn't see Davis or LeBron running that conditioning drill. Don't show favoritism, demand the same from the star players as the role players.

I like to hear this, I think Bradley is gonna be important for us this year. Him & KCP are the two role players who i think will have the biggest impact on this team. With Bradley i think it's moreso a matter of health.
With KCP i'm hoping he could have somewhat of the awekening JR did once he went to the Knicks/Cavs & at least be consistent nightly. He's never gonna be a high IQ guy, but i'm hoping putting him around competent players lessons his ability to make stupid plays on the ball. He's another guy who we need to chase around 1/2's effectively.

I thought Green and Bradley were our top 2 signings this year.
I said it in the NBA thread, people will continue to sleep on Bradley and Caruso on D, but like Rondo said, everyone will respect them come June.
Scrimmage showed some intensity. These guys mean business.

I like the emphasis on defense from jump, with Bron & AD offense will be smoother to work out.
We need to have an actual strategy on Defense, we know Bron & Rondo are gonna be lazy on Defense but with AD, McGee, Green, Bradley, Dudley & KCP we have guys who could help cover that up

Maybe Dwight will give the Lakers that Bruce Bowen crackhead defense then.

lakers will win barring major injuries from ad/bron. im far from a homer but just looking at the landscape of the league, i dont see a dominant team like the kd warriors getting in their way.
