during that surge last season I remember several players outright saying they weren't even running Dantoni's offense. I'm neutral on him but I can't recall him making any adjustments on his own will.[:: LAKERS 2014 THREAD | POLL: Who Should Coach Next Year? ::]

it was dantoni who went away from his signature offensive style in order to adjust to our roster at the time, not players coming to work and saying nah lets do our own thing

can you point to some evidence of that? because from what I remember that's exactly what it was 
. I can almost hear a quote from Pau saying "we are just doing our own thing". But I definitely remember pau being very vocal about how the offense should be run and kobe would constantly hint that they needed to slow down because they were an older team
My point is that even if mda did adjust it was only after all of his starters were complaining about it and even then only after they complained for several weeks. has he made any adjustments we can say for sure were his own accord and worked?

Kobe post heavy offense, running horns, having Pau facilitate at the elbows, letting Dwight have his post ups 
Edit:
The Kings and Grizzlies winning tonight. It would be nice if the Love and the T'Wolves pulled out a win too.

still can't say for sure any of that was under his own will. fair to say that as a laker Dantoni has been more mike brown than Phil Jackson

I wouldn't mind LaVine one bit, but I get an "instant offense, sixth man" vibe from him.

Are you sure about this? Because there is almost zero indication of this.
Please tell me who they replace him with.
Kurt Rambis, Byron Scott, how about another go at the Rudy T era

Wiggins is slipping in the draft. As we all know.
Also for those on Team Tank.. We are now projected to be tied for 2nd Worst Record in the league.
When you do the 2014 NBA Lottery Predictor.. 8 times had us 8th picking Aaron Gordon, 1 time 9th picking Noah Vonleh, and 1 time 1st picking Joel Embiid.
I think Embiid will be great, but I'd rather draft 4 or 5 guys before him. Say we were to get #1. And if we got #1, I find it unlikely that we don't draft Parker or Wiggins.
Random 2014 news: If you wanted Bledsoe, even if the Suns decide not to match. Forget it. Bledsoe had part of his meniscus removed. Could potentially backfire big time on him. He will continue to play at an elite level, but that knee damage will pile up quickly on him.

thinking the same, i dont think Antoni is going anywhere after this season. maybe in another year or 2. thing is...he's not a bad coach, he's just not a great one, like a pop, that can create a system that any player can be subbed into. Antoni isn't good at adjustments, but he's no mike brown.

No one is saying he is Pop. If your expectations is to have the best coach in the league (not directed at you Freeze) Then we shouldn't even bother discussing about coaching because you are not working from a point of view that is realistic.
The problem people who defend D'Antoni have with those who hate him, is that those who hate MDA act like he isn't better than 75% of the coaches currently coaching.
And all this talk about Championship Basketall only 8 coaches have coached Championship teams since 1987.

Pau hurt his left foot against the Clippers. MRI today.

when hes off the court they give up 103 pp100
he hustles and throws his body at people but he needs to learn better defensive fundamentals

That would guarantee a top five worst record.
