Thats the thing though.
You raved about how "great" the moves Jerry Buss made were, bringing in young athletic scorers in the off-season.
You constantly rave about how underrated D'Antoni is, and how great he would be if he would of had Rondo and Gortat, etc.
But you also say you absolutely believe we'll suck so bad that we'll end up with a great top 8 pick.
You contradict yourself so much and you dont even realize it.
You want it to be both ways, but it cant be.
D'Antoni's somehow managed to get us to 7-7 with the crappiest Laker team we've seen in over a decade.
I am willing to give him some slight credit and admit, so far its been better than expected. These young kids obviously play with nothing to lose and its leading to a lot of wins no one thought would happen.
Yet, you absolutely dont believe with a healthy Kobe this team realistically is going to be around that .500 mark give or take for the season.
You're the first one to point out every little great thing MDA does during games, in your subtle and mocking CP ways...
"Oh, that was a great play drawn up... i wonder who drew it up?
"
"Oh, wow... looks like the young guys are playing with a lot of energy, i wonder who could be bringing the best out of them?
"
All these comments constantly rubbing it in our face that MDA is a better coach than we think.
BUT, when it comes down to it... you dont believe in him enough to sustain the .500 record that he has already proved he could achieve with such a mediocre roster...
EVEN WITH KOBE COMING BACK.
"But, he might be like Nash"...
CMON CP. Be real man. Kobe will not be like nash. He might not be the same, he might not even average 25 anymore... Maybe not even 20.
But you hoenstly believe that Kobe Bryant will look as horrific as Nash does?
You really dont think Kobe will contribute enough to make a difference offensively?
No **** his defense sucks, everyones does... that wont change anything.
But if he's health enough to play, you really think he'll be as ineffective as Nash? SERIOUSLY? KOBE WILL BE LIKE NASH?
Cmon bro.
